Currently I am working with Lactobacillus genera, but I don´t know if Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus paracasei are considered the same specie...I had a scientific paper about differentiation of these two specie using diferents primers but this publication is from 1999 but I have to find something some recent to contrast this information....anyone can help me with this??
Hi,
You can see bergey's manual of systematic bacteriology 2009. It content more tests or method for different among Lactobacillus spices .
L.caseae is of near taxonomic criteria to paracase,but they are two different species.
They are different species but many sell cultures under name of Lb.case that are Lb.paracasei after newest nomenclature!
L. paracasei is genotypically and phenotypically indistinguishable from other members of its genus such as Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus rhamnosus
As Fateme Karami highlighted, the differentiation among the three Lactobacillus genus mentioned is challenging. I hope you will find the section on A brief taxonomic history in the following article by Hill et al enjoyable.
