TLDR
One hundred and thirteen strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were selected from 351 isolates from 15 samples of traditionally fermented household bushera from Uganda and also from laboratory-preparedBushera using API 50 CHL kits and additional biochemical tests to assess their ability to ferment 49 carbohydrates.

Lars Axelsson
TL;DR: The present taxonomy relies partly on true phylogenetic relationships, largely based on morphology, mode of glucose fermentation, growth at different temperatures, configuration of the lactic acid produced, ability to grow at high salt concentrations, and acid or alkaline tolerance.
