Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. indicus subsp. nov., isolated from Indian dairy products Dellaglio, Franco and Felis, Giovanna E. and Castioni, Anna and Torriani, Sandra and Germond, Jacques-Edouard,, 55, 401-404 (2005), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.63067-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= Four strains isolated from Indian dairy products and initially identified as Lactobacillus delbrueckii could not be assigned to a definite subspecies because molecular identification and phenotypic traits did not agree with those of recognized subspecies of L. delbrueckii. Hybridization of total DNA (78–86 % against type strains of the other three subspecies), AFLP and RAPD-PCR fingerprints, phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and sequence analysis of two coding genes (recA and hsp60), together with phenotypic profiles, indicated that the four strains form a coherent cluster and represent a novel subspecies, for which the name Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. indicus subsp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NCC725T (=LMG 22083T=DSM 15996T)., language=, type=
