- Klein et al. 1996 Klein G, Dicks LMT, Pack A, Hack B, Zimmermann K, Dellaglio F, Reuter G. Emended descriptions of Lactobacillus sake (Katagiri, Kitahara, and Fukami) and Lactobacillus curvatus (Abo-Elnaga and Kandler): numerical classification revealed by protein fingerprinting and identification based on biochemical patterns and DNA-DNA hybridizations. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1996; 46:367-376. Anonymous. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 46, part 2 of the IJSB. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1996; 46:838.

Notes:
- According to Kagermeier-Callaway and Lauer (1995), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Lactobacillus bavaricus Stetter and Stetter 1980. Publication: Kagermeier-Callaway AS, Lauer E. Lactobacillus sake Katagiri, Kitahara, and Fukami 1934 is the senior synonym for Lactobacillus bavaricus Stetter and Stetter 1980. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1995; 45:398-399.
- Lactobacillus sakei is the correct name if this species is regarded as a separate species within a separate genus Lactobacillus.
- Nom. corrig.: IJSB 47:908; Lactobacillus sake (sic). Publication: Trüper HG, De' Clari L. Taxonomic note: Necessary correction of specific epithets formed as substantives (nouns) "in apposition". Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1997; 47:908-909.
- In the Kilian's opinion [1] the change of the well-established name Lactobacillus sake may be a source of confusion. So, with reference to the first Principle of the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision), Kilian requested that the original name Lactobacillus sake be conserved [2]. The Judicial Commission denied this request, and no Opinion will be issued upon this request [3]. Publication: Kilian M. Necessary changes of bacterial names? ASM News 1998; 64:670.
- The original spelling of the specific epithet, sake (sic), has been corrected by Trüper and De' Clari 1997. Publication: Trüper HG, De' Clari L. Taxonomic note: Necessary correction of specific epithets formed as substantives (nouns) "in apposition". Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1997; 47:908-909.
