Title Elevation of Lentilactobacillus rapi subsp. dabitei Li et al. 2022 to the species level as Lentilactobacillus dabitei sp. nov.
Journal Int J Syst Evol Microbiol
Abstract Lentilactobacillus rapi subsp. dabitei was proposed by Li et al. in 2022. The type strains of L. rapi subsp. dabitei and L. rapi subsp. rapi shared 93.1 % average nucleotide identity and 52.8 % digital DNA-DNA hybridization values. Strain IMAU80584T was proposed as a novel subspecies of L. rapi rather than a novel species of the genus Lentilactobacillus on the basis of similar phenotypic characteristics (including growth temperature and pH, tolerance to NaCl and features based on API 50CH and API ZYM). However, the phenotypic investigation performed by Li et al. was insufficient because some physiological and biochemical characteristics recommended by Mattarelli et al. were not included. In the present study, the taxonomic relationship between L. rapi subsp. dabitei and L. rapi subsp. rapi was re-evaluated. Based upon the data obtained in the present study, we propose to elevate L. rapi subsp. dabitei to the species level as Lentilactobacillus dabitei sp. nov. The type strain is IMAU80584T (=GDMCC 1.2566T=JCM 34647T).
