🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "SOLC" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer.Publication:
Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM. Codes and abbreviations for approved of effectively published names of genera of bacteria published from January 1980 to December 1990. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1991; 41:571-579.
🧍 In subsequent papers Kitahara and co-workers referred to the organism as Sporolactobacillus inulinus, elevating Sporolactobacillus to generic rank. Kitahara and Toyota (1972) in a footnote state: "The name Sporolactobacillus is considered more appropriate to be raised to a genus of the familly Bacillaceae from a subgenus of the genus Lactobacillus ...". The Approved Lists of Bacterial Names cite Kitahara and Suzuki 1963 as the authors of the generic name and Kitahara and Lai 1967 as authors of the type species name.Publication:
Kitahara K, Toyota T. Auto-spheroplastization and cell-permeation in Sporolactobacillus inulinus. J. Gen. Appl. Microbiol. 1972; 18:99-107.
🧍 Sporolactobacillus inulinus, the type species of the genus Sporolactobacillus, was originally named Sporolactobacillus (subgen. Lactobacillus) inulinus thus inadvertently reducing Lactobacillus to subgeneric rank.Publication:
