Brevibacterium flavum & lactofermentum
"The Prokaryotes" (2nd edition) p. 1158 discusses the nomenclatural status of Brevibacterium flavum and Brevibacterium lactofermentum: "Their systematic classification has not been clarified but numerous data exist [citations listed below] indicating their close relatedness, if not identity, with Corynebacterium glutamicum: C. lilium, Brevibacterium flavum, B. lactofermentum, and B. divaricatum. Of the nomenclatural species B. flavum, B. lactofermentum, B. divaricatum, only B. divaricatum is included in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names (Skerman et al., 1980), and none is a true member of the genus Brevibacterium. Therefore, data obtained with these species will be included with the discussion of the properties of Corynebacterium glutamicum." Abe et al. (1967) J. Gen. Appl. Microbiol. 13:279-301. Suzuki et al.

'Corynebacterium lactofermentum' = Corynebacterium glutamicum
Amador et al. (1999) propose the transfer of "Brevibacterium lactofermentum" to "Corynebacterium lactofermentum" on the basis of studies involving "B. lactofermentum" strains ATCC 13869 and DSM 20412. However, the ATCC catalogue of strains lists ATCC 13869 as C. glutamicum. Moreover, Liebl et al. (1991) have previously transferred "B. lactofermentum" strains DSM 20412 and DSM 1412 to C. glutamicum.
