JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 53 IS 3 SP 675 OP 678 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.02405-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB Phenotypic and genotypic characterizations of Lactobacillus maltaromicus strains DSM 20342T and DSM 20344 provided evidence for the reclassification of this species in the genus Carnobacterium. Moreover, phenotypic and genotypic comparisons made between L. maltaromicus and Carnobacterium piscicola highlighted that these two species should be considered synonyms. For these reasons, the species Carnobacterium maltaromaticum comb. nov. (type strain DSM 20342T=ATCC 27865T=CCUG 30142T=CIP 103135T=JCM 1154T=LMG 6903T=NRRL B-14852T) is proposed to accommodate L. maltaromicus and C. piscicola., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.02405-0
