Lactobacillus homohiochii is a later heterotypic synonym of Lactobacillus fructivorans Zhao, Wei and Gu, Chun Tao,, 69, 1720-1723 (2019), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.003380, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= The taxonomic relationship of Lactobacillus fructivorans and Lactobacillus homohiochii was re-evaluated. 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., language=, type=
