Phylogenetic analysis of two protein-encoding genes, recA (encoding the recombinase A protein) and cpn60 (encoding the GroEL chaperonin), as well as phenotypic and genomic traits revealed a homogeneous group of very closely related strains for which subspecies status is proposed, with the name Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. argentoratensis. The type strain is DKO 22T (=CIP 108320T=DSM 16365T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.63333-0
