• Notes:
  • ⏰ According to Koort et al. (2004), this subspecies is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Lactobacillus curvatus subsp. melibiosus Torriani et al. 1996. Publication: Koort J, Vandamme P, Schillinger U, Holzapfel W, Bjorkroth J. Lactobacillus curvatus subsp. melibiosus is a later synonym of Lactobacillus sakei subsp. carnosus. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2004; 54:1621-1626.
  • ❗ Lactobacillus sakei subsp. carnosus 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 Lactobacillus sakei within a separate genus Lactobacillus.
