ABSTRACT

The levels of genotypic relatedness among Leuconostoc oenos (53 strains), Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides (7 strains), Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. dextranicum (5 strains), Leuconostoc paramesenteroides (3 strains), Leuconostoc lactis (3 strains), Leuconostoc sp. (3 strains), and Pediococcus acidilactici (1 strain) were determined. L. oenos is genotypically homogeneous and forms a distinct species. Leuconostoc sp. strains ATCC 21435, ATCC 21436, and ATCC 21437 are genotypically not closely related to any Leuconostoc sp. L. paramesenteroides and L. lactis are regarded as genotypically heterogeneous collections of strains. P. acidilactici ATCC 12697 and L. mesenteroides NCDO 530 should be reclassified as L. paramesenteroides and L. oenos, respectively.
