RANK: Species
TAXONOMY: Terrabacteria group -> Firmicutes -> Bacilli -> Lactobacillales -> Streptococcaceae -> Streptococcus -> Streptococcus thermophilus
OVERVIEW:
'Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus' (previous name Streptococcus thermophilus ) is a Gram-positive bacterium and a homofermentative facultative anaerobe, of the Streptococcus viridans viridans group.European Bioinformatics Institute: [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/2can/genomes/bacteria/Streptococcus_thermophilus.html Bacteria Genomes – Streptococcus Thermophilus] It tests negative for cytochrome, oxidase, and catalase, and positive for alpha-hemolytic activity. It is not motile and does not form endospores. It is also classified as a lactic acid bacterium. S. thermophilus is found in fermented milk products, and is generally used in the production of yogurt,Synonyms : Streptococcus salivarius thermophilus, Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus, NCIMB 8510, NCDO 573, LMG 6896, JCM 17834, DSM 20617, CIP 102303, CCUG 21957, ATCC 19258.
