RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Farrow, J. A. E. A1 Collins, M. D.YR 1984 T1 DNA Base Composition, DNA-DNA Homology and Long-chain Fatty Acid Studies on Streptococcus thermophilus and Streptococcus salivarius JF Microbiology, VO 130 IS 2 SP 357 OP 362 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/00221287-130-2-357 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1465-2080, AB DNA base composition, DNA-DNA homology and long-chain fatty acid studies were performed on Streptococcus thermophilus andStreptococcus salivarius. These species possess similar mol % G + C values (about 37 to 41), long-chain fatty acid profiles and belong to a single DNA homology group. On the basis of the present and earlier studies it is proposed that Streptococcus thermophilus (Orla-Jensen) be reclassified as Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus comb. nov., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-130-2-357
