Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The sourdough isolates FUA3702, FUA3912 and FUA3913 T , as well as FUA3695 T and FUA3914, could not be identified to known species of the Lactobacillaceae . The 16S rRNA gene sequences of FUA3702 and FUA3913, FUA3695 and FUA3914 were>99% identical to Fructilactobacillus sanfranciscensis and Levilactobacillus lanxiensis , respectively. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values of strain FUA3913 T when compared to Fl. sanfranciscensis were 83.67 and 26.60%, respectively. In addition, strains FUA3702, FUA3912 and FUA3913 T produce different levels of a yellow C30 carotenoid, but pigmentation has not been described in Fl. sanfranciscensis . The ANI and dDDH values of FUA3695 T and FUA3914 when compared to Lv. langxiensis were 95.22 and 61.20%, respectively. In addition, FUA3695 and FUA3914 convert lactate to 1,2-propanediol and further to propionate. The conversion of lactate to propionate by a single strain has not been documented for any of the species in the Lactobacillaceae . Based on the genomic and physiological characteristics, we proposed the novel species Fructilactobacillus frigidiflavus sp. nov. FUA3913 T (=DSM 118650 T =LMG 33758 T ) and Levilactobacillus lettrarii sp. nov. FUA3695 T (=DSM 118651 T =LMG 33759 T ).

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
