The Judicial Commission of the International Committee on Nomenclature of Bacteria is requested to issue an Opinion conserving the generic name Lactobacillus Beijerinck with a new type species, Lactobacillus delbrueckii Beijerinck. The species previously regarded as the type, Lactobacillus caucasicus, cannot be recognized from descriptions, and no authentic cultures of this organism are extant. It is proposed that Lactobacillus caucasicus Beijerinck be placed on the list of rejected names. ATCC 9649 (= NCDO 213) is designated as the neotype strain of L. delbrueckii Beijerinck.
