Abstract: A lactic acid bacterium having a 16S ribosomal RNA characteristic of the genus Streptococcus, cocci morphology, a growth optimum in the range of about 28° C. to about 45° C., having the ability to ferment D-galactose, D-glucose, D-fructose, D-mannose, and N-acetyl (D)-glucosamine, salicin, cellobiose, maltose, lactose, sucrose and raffinose, and imparting a viscosity of greater than 100 mPa.s at a shear rate of about 293 s−1. The strain often produces an exopolysaccharide comprising a chain of glucose, galactose and N-acetylglucosamine in a proportion of 3:2:1 respectively. The new strain is identified as Streptococcus macedonicus. Other characteristics include a total protein profile obtained after culture in an MRS medium for 24 h at 28° C., extraction of the total proteins and migration of the proteins on an SDS-PAGE electrophoresis gel, exhibits a degree of Pearson correlation of at least 78 with respect to bacterium CNCM I-1920 or I-1926.
