Fourteen strains isolated from vegetable sources and identified as belonging to Lactobacillus plantarum presented an atypical pattern of amplification with a species-specific multiplex-PCR assay. Phylogenetic analysis of two protein-encoding genes, recA (encoding the recombinase A protein) and cpn60 (encoding the GroEL chaperonin), as well as phenotypic and genomic traits revealed a homogeneous group of very closely related strains for which subspecies status is proposed, with the name Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. argentoratensis. The type strain is DKO 22^T (=CIP 108320^T=DSM 16365^T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers obtained in the present study are: 16S rRNA gene sequence of L. plantarum subsp. argentoratensis DKO 22^T, AJ640078; complete recA gene sequences of L. plantarum subsp. plantarum ATCC 14917^T, AJ621668; L. plantarum subsp. argentoratensis DKO 22^T, AJ640079; L. plantarum subsp. argentoratensis A7, AJ640080; L. pentosus LMG 10755^T, AJ621666; L. paraplantarum LMG 16673^T, AJ621662; partial cpn60 gene sequences of L. plantarum subsp. argentoratensis DKO 22^T, AJ640081; L. plantarum subsp. plantarum ATCC 14917^T, AJ640082.

Positions of the primers of species-specific multiplex-PCR assay based on recA gene sequences are shown in a supplementary figure available in IJSEM Online.
