2 Because of high phenotypic similarities and complete DNA-DNA homology, Lactobacillus cellobiosus Rogosa et al. 1953 (Approved Lists 1980) was often regarded as a biovar of ¤ Lactobacillus fermentum Beijerinck 1901 (Approved Lists 1980). In May 2004, Dellaglio et al. proposed that ¤ Lactobacillus fermentum Beijerinck 1901 (Approved Lists 1980) be an earlier heterotypic synonym of Lactobacillus cellobiosus Rogosa et al. 1953 (Approved Lists 1980); Cf. infra.

Note: The members of the Sucommittee on Taxonomy of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Related Organisms concluded (meeting in Budapest, Hungary, August 1996) that Lactobacillus panis Wiese et al. 1996 is not a validly published name because the type strain of has been deposited in the closed collection of the DSM. Therefore, Dellaglio and Klein requested an opinion which indicates wether this name should be rejected according to Rule 30 (3), recommendation 30a, and Principle 1 [1]. However, the type strain of Lactobacillus panis DSM 6035 has been transferred from the patent/safe deposit department to the public part of the DSMZ and is now available without any restriction [2, 3]. So, Lactobacillus panis is a validly published and legitimate name [4, 5].
