The taxonomic positions of species of the Lactobacillus casei group have been evaluated by sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of a 277 by recA gene fragment. High sequence similarity between strain ATCC 393(T), currently designated as the type strain of L. casei, and the type strain of Lactobacillus zeae, LMG 17315(T), has been established, while L. casei ATCC 334 and Lactobacillus paracasei NCDO 151(T) form a single phylogenetic group. The taxonomic status of species and strains at issue is discussed.
