  • 🙋 This subspecies could be automatically created (rule 40d) by the valid publication of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. argentoratensis (Bringel et al. 2005) Zheng et al. 2020 but an explicit description was also provided. Publication: Zheng J, Wittouck S, Salvetti E, Franz CMAP, Harris HMB, Mattarelli P, O'Toole PW, Pot B, Vandamme P, Walter J, et al. A taxonomic note on the genus Lactobacillus: Description of 23 novel genera, emended description of the genus Lactobacillus Beijerinck 1901, and union of Lactobacillaceae and Leuconostocaceae.

  • ❗ Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum 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.
