Obligate fructophilic lactic acid bacteria (FLAB) lack the metabolic pathways used in the metabolism of most carbohydrates and differ from other lactic acid bacteria in that they prefer to fermentd -fructose instead ofd -glucose. These characteristics are well conserved at the genus or species level.Leuconostoc citreum F192-5 shows similar growth characteristics. However, the strain is metabolically and genomically different from obligate FLAB. This is an example of a strain that evolved a pseudo-FLAB phenotype to adapt to a fructose-rich environment.
