Lactobacillus delbrueckii
Lactobacillus delbrueckii subspecies bulgaricus from a sample of Activia brand yogurt
The species carries the name of
Max Delbrück, who lent his name to the Berlin Institute for the Fermentation Industries,[3] where L. delbrueckii and
L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus were produced on an industrial scale from about 1896.[4] (Delbrück's Institute was located in East Berlin and around 1967 it was renamed Institut für Gärungsgewerbe und Biotechnologie zu Berlin (IFGB).[5])
Subspecies
A paper published in 1983 by Weiss, Schillinger, and Kandler, described the high degree of shared identity between L. delbrueckii 's subspecies, which had previously been considered separate species.[6]
