Notes:
- ⏰ According to Kaneuchi et al. (1988), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Lactobacillus yamanashiensis (ex Nonomura et al. 1965) Nonomura 1983. Publication: Kaneuchi C, Seki M, Komagata K. Taxonomic study of Lactobacillus mali Carr and Davis 1970 and related strains: validation of Lactobacillus mali Carr and Davis 1970 over Lactobacillus yamanashiensis Nonomura 1983. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1988; 38:269-272.
- ❗ Lactobacillus mali is the correct name instead if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Lactobacillus.
