Lactic acid bacteria of foods and their current taxonomy

Reclassification of Pediococcus urinaeequi (ex Mees 1934) Garvie 1988 as Aerococcus urinaeequi comb. nov.

“…Based on this result, Simpson & Taguchi (1995) and Stiles & Holzapfel (1997) reported that the species P. urinaeequi did not belong to the genus Pediococcus.…”

Isolation, Characterization and Identification of Probiotic Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) from Honey Bees

“…They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) food grade microorganisms exploited as probiotics that confer health benefits on the host (FAO/WHO, 2001 (Stiles and Holzapfel, 1997). They vary in cell types and physiological and biochemical characteristics (Savadogo et al, 2006).…”

Characterization and identification of lactic acid bacteria in “morcilla de Burgos”

“…Although classical approach to bacterial identification based on morphological, physiological and biochemical features provides reasonable results and is easy to perform, in general these techniques are not always reliable for the identification of LAB (Stiles and Holzapfel, 1997). Genotypic methods have a higher discriminatory power and in this sense the efforts of the current bacterial taxonomy are oriented to a polyphasic approach, which involves phenotypic and genotypic characterisation (Vandamme et al, 1996).…”
