The type strains of these two species shared 100 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, 100 % pheS gene sequence similarity, 100 % rpoA gene sequence similarity, a 99.8 % ANI (average nucleotide identity) value and a 99.1 % in silico DNA–DNA hybridization value, showing that they have the same taxonomic position. Lactobacillus homohiochii should be reclassified as Lactobacillus fructivorans. Lactobacillus homohiochii is a later heterotypic synonym of Lactobacillus fructivorans. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.003380
