    Pediococcus acidilactici Lindner 1887 (Approved Lists 1980)	heterotypic synonym, validly published under the ICNP, conserved name

• Notes:
  • ⏲ According to Wieme et al. (2012), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Pediococcus acidilactici Lindner 1887 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Wieme A, Cleenwerck I, Van Landschoot A, Vandamme P. Pediococcus lolii DSM 19927T and JCM 15055T are strains of Pediococcus acidilactici. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2012; 62:3105-3108.
  • ❗ Pediococcus lolii 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 Pediococcus.
  • 🧬 The phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is 0.01930 (N = 30).
  • 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
  • 🎓 Name mentioned 7 times in PubMed until 2025-06-04.
  • 🙅 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as a synonym of the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the genus.
  • 🧍 However, these authors also indicate that the question of whether Pediococcus lolii and Pediococcus acidilactici are to be treated as heterotypic synonyms depends on the availability of biological material corresponding with the original description of Pediococcus lolii by Doi et al. 2009 [2]. Publication: Doi K, Nishizaki Y, Fujino Y, Ohshima T, Ohmomo S, Ogata S. Pediococcus lolii sp. nov., isolated from ryegrass silage. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2009; 59:1007-1010.
  • 🧍 It would appear that type material of Pediococcus lolii corresponding with the data published by Doi et al. (2009) is currently not available from culture collections [3]. — Tindall BJ. Personal communication, 2013-02-18.
