Description

<jats:p>Taxonomic studies were performed on some unknown <jats:italic>Leuconostoc</jats:italic>‐like organisms from fermented Greek sausage. Comparative 16S rRNA sequence analysis showed the unidentified organisms represent a new line within the <jats:italic>Leuconostoc paramesenteroides</jats:italic> group of species. On the basis of the results of this and earlier phylogenetic investigations, it is proposed that <jats:italic>Leuconostoc paramesenteroides</jats:italic> and related species be reclassified in a new genus <jats:italic>Weissella.</jats:italic> In addition a new species, <jats:italic>Weissella hellenica</jats:italic>, is proposed for the isolates from fermented sausage.</jats:p>
