Leuconostoc mesenteroides is a bacterial species sometimes associated with fermentation, under conditions of salinity and low temperatures (such as lactic acid production in fermented sausages). When grown in sucrose solution, it converts the sugar to dextrans having mostly alpha 1,6 linkages, but 1,2, 1,3, and 1,4 linkages are also present.
Taxonomy
L. mesenteroides is divided into several subspecies.
- L. m. subsp. cremoris (Knudsen and Sørensen 1929) Garvie 1983
- L. m. subsp. dextranicum (Beijerinck 1912) Garvie 1983
- L. m. subsp. mesenteroides (Tsenkovskii 1878) Garvie 1983
- L. m. subsp. suionicum Gu et al. 2012
