I read that Streptococcus salivarius ssp thermophilus
change name again? "Because of this, for some years Str. thermophilus was classified as a subspecies of Str. salivarius. However, it is now accepted that Str. thermophilus while similar, is sufficiently distinct to justify species designation." -----http://www.dairyscience.info/cheese-starters.html so,Str. thermophilus is the newer name (and the old name)? |

Microbial classification is an interesting area. As discussed at http://www.dairyscience.info/cheese-starters.html . Str. thermophilus is the correct name. I think that i have also provided the source literature so that you can see why the name has reverted back to its older name. However some authors are still using Streptococcus salivarius ssp thermophilus. In my view incorrectly.
The International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology is an excellent source for information on microbial classification. You can also download papers for free in PDF format. Regards |
