Abstract (EN): During a recent study on members of the genus Lactobacillus we realized that cultures of Lactobacillus fornicalis TV 1018(T) (=DSM 13171(T)=ATCC 700934(T)) are no longer available from the online catalogue of the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH, being displayed as Lactobacillus plantarum at the American Type Culture Collection. Based on data currently available, the organism deposited as ATCC 700934(T) is a member of the species Lactobacillus plantarum subs. plantarum. Therefore, the type strain of Lactobacillus fornicalis cannot be included in any further scientific comparative study. This matter is referred to the Judicial Commission, asking for an opinion on the status of the species.
