RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Zhao, Wei A1 Gu, Chun TaoYR 2019 T1 Lactobacillus homohiochii is a later heterotypic synonym of Lactobacillus fructivorans JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 69 IS 6 SP 1720 OP 1723 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.003380 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB 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., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.003380
