Description

<jats:p>The ‘<jats:italic>Lactobacillus plantarum</jats:italic> group’ encompasses the taxa <jats:italic>Lactobacillus plantarum</jats:italic> subsp. <jats:italic>plantarum</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Lactobacillus plantarum</jats:italic> subsp. <jats:italic>argentoratensis</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Lactobacillus paraplantarum</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Lactobacillus pentosus</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Lactobacillus arizonensis</jats:italic>. In this study, the phylogenetic position of <jats:italic>L. arizonensis</jats:italic> was examined using 16S rRNA gene-specific methodologies (16S rRNA sequencing and ribotyping) and genomic DNA-based investigations [repetitive extragenic palindromic DNA (rep)-PCR and DNA–DNA hybridization]. Our results show that the <jats:italic>L. arizonensis</jats:italic> type strain could not be distinguished from the type strain of <jats:italic>L. plantarum</jats:italic> or from various <jats:italic>L. plantarum</jats:italic> reference strains. Therefore, it is proposed that the species <jats:italic>L. arizonensis</jats:italic> should be reclassified as a heterotypic synonym of <jats:italic>L. plantarum</jats:italic>.</jats:p>
