Rough and smooth morphotypes isolated from Lactobacillus farciminis CNCM I-3699 are two closely-related variants

This paper shows that L. farciminis CNCM I-3699 is a pleomorphic strain giving reproducibly rise to two phenotypically distinct morphotypes R and S. This phenomenon may explain survival and growth abilities in in vitro fluctuating aerobic–anaerobic conditions along with modulation of exopolysaccharides production and autoaggregation profile.
