The taxonomic position of two lactic-acid-producing bacterial strains, isolated from wheat sourdough in South Korea, was studied using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences and biochemical and physiological characteristics indicated these two strains to be members of the genus Lactobacillus. They had high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98?5 %) with Lactobacillus rossiae DSM 15814T and very low (
