Lactobacillus delbrueckii Beijerinck 1901

Description

Lactobacillus delbrueckii

Lactobacillus delbrueckii (Bacillus delbrücki) (del.brueck’i.i. N.L. gen. n. delbrueckii, of Delbrück, named for M. Delbrück, a German bacteriologist).

Type species of the genus Lactobacillus. Because of the high phenotypic and genotypic similarities between L. delbrueckii, L. leichmannii, L. lactis and L. bulgaricus, only L. delbrueckii is retained as a separate species. Both L. lactis and L. leichmannii are treated as L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis and L. bulgaricus as L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus [60]. All strains produce D(−)- lactic acid.
