• Notes:
  • ❗ Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. argentoratensis is the correct name instead if this subspecies is regarded as a separate subspecies (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another subspecies whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate species Lactiplantibacillus plantarum within a separate genus Lactiplantibacillus.
  • 🙅 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 subspecies. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of other species in the genus.
