Talk:Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The final paragraph states starts with the statement

In most Western countries, commercial yogurt production employs various starches, gums, gels, and stabilizers and in some instances may include little or no live bacteria culture.

This is incorrect! To be sold as a yoghurt, the product must contain viable cultures. Otherwise it can be sold as a dairy desert, BUT not a yoghurt. Eddit nz 21:06, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Can you find sources for that? That would improve the article. Jonathunder 21:17, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] bulgaricum or bulgaricus

The Company in Bulgaria is named LB Bulgaricum. Are you shure, that the name is not LB bulcaricum? Stefan, Germany - --84.137.7.79 11:26, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Per List of Prokaryotic Names with Standing in Nomenclature - Lactobacillus, the correct species name is listed as:
Lactobacillus bulgaricus (Orla-Jensen 1919) Rogosa and Hansen 1971, species.

[edit] Rename article

As the official name is Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, the article should be named as such, and the term L. bulgaricus should redirect to L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus.Knorrepoes 19:33, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
