Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. argentoratensis subsp. nov., isolated from vegetable matrices

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2005 Jul;55(Pt 4):1629-1634. doi: 10.1099/ijs.0.63333-0.

Abstract

Fourteen strains isolated from vegetable sources and identified as belonging to Lactobacillus plantarum presented an atypical pattern of amplification with a species-specific multiplex-PCR assay. Phylogenetic analysis of two protein-encoding genes, recA (encoding the recombinase A protein) and cpn60 (encoding the GroEL chaperonin), as well as phenotypic and genomic traits revealed a homogeneous group of very closely related strains for which subspecies status is proposed, with the name Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. argentoratensis. The type strain is DKO 22(T) (=CIP 108320(T)=DSM 16365(T)).
