The family Lactobacillaceae, described by Winslow et al. (1917) is, at present, phylogenetically circumscribed and consists of the genera Lactobacillus, “Paralactobacillus”, and Pediococcus (Schleifer, 2009). Notably, the former genus Paralactobacillus (Leisner et al., 2000) has recently been included in Lactobacillus (Haakensen et al., 2011; J. P. Euzéby: http://www.bacterio.cict.fr/p/paralactobacillus.html), as well as “Pediococcus destrinicus” (Haakensen et al., 2009), while genus Pediococcus, consisting of 11 valid species, is still recognised as a separate genus (Collins et al., 1990). The two validly recognised genera together with “Paralactobacillus” are phylogenetically intermixed (Fig. V.1). Overall, 16S rRNA sequence similarities for the eleven species of pediococci and the closely to moderately related Lactobacillus species range from 85–94%.

Abstract
The family Lactobacillaceae, described by Winslow et al. (1917) is, at present, phylogenetically circumscribed and consists of the genera Lactobacillus, “Paralactobacillus”, and Pediococcus (Schleifer, 2009). Notably, the former genus Paralactobacillus (Leisner et al., 2000) has recently been included in Lactobacillus (Haakensen et al., 2011; J. P. Euzéby: http://www.bacterio.cict.fr/p/paralactobacillus.html), as well as “Pediococcus destrinicus” (Haakensen et al., 2009), while genus Pediococcus, consisting of 11 valid species, is still recognised as a separate genus (Collins et al., 1990). The two validly recognised genera together with “Paralactobacillus” are phylogenetically intermixed (Fig. V.1). Overall, 16S rRNA sequence similarities for the eleven species of pediococci and the closely to moderately related Lactobacillus species range from 85–94%.
