Summary

A preliminary examination of strains of leuconostocs collected from many different laboratories has resulted in a division into six groups. Some of these groups are heterogeneous. The name Leuconostoc cremoris is used in preference to Leuconostoc citrovorum for the non-sucrose fermenting species. Reasons are given. Other arguments lead to the conclusion that Streptococcus kefir (Evans) should be regarded as a synonym of Leuconostoc mesenteroides, and the name Leuconostoc lactis is used in preference to Streptococcus kefir (Abd-el-Malek & Gibson).
