L. farciminis
L. pentosus
L. plantarum subsp. plantarum

L. reuteri
L. salivarius
Lacticaseibacillus casei
Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus
Lacticaseibacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei
Levilactobacillus brevis
Compilactobacillus farciminis
Lactiplantibacillus pentosus
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum
Limosilactobacillus fermentum
Limosilactobacillus reuteri

This taxonomical modification doesn’t change the properties of the strains nor the authorization to use them in food complements or starters.
At the moment THT has not introduced any change in the documentation of its strains and products. The revised Lactobacillus taxonomy will be implemented in THT quality documents from January 1st 2023. Any request can be introduced through your sales account manager.
