History

Naming

The species carries the name of Max Delbrück, who lent his name to the Berlin Institute for the Fermentation Industries,[1] where L. delbrueckii and L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus were produced on an industrial scale from about 1896.[2] (Delbrück's Institute was located in East Berlin and around 1967 it was renamed Institut für Gärungsgewerbe und Biotechnologie zu Berlin (IFGB).[3])

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.[4]

gollark: Although MAC randomization countermeasures are present in most mobile OSes now.
gollark: This is already happening so it may as well be used for good.
gollark: You have to admit that this would be very cool if implemented literally everywhere.
