Lactobacillus plantarum  is one of the most extensively studied  Lactobacillus  species because of its presence in a variety of environmental niches, versatility, and metabolic capabilities, resulting in the use of this organism in many industrial applications. However, although extensive effort has been invested in screening this species from a variety of habitats, a reliable and accurate method for studying the succession and ontogeny of this organism in complex ecosystems is still required to confirm the activity of  L. plantarum  at the subspecies level. Therefore, in this study, novel subspecies-specific genes for the quantitative detection of two  L. plantarum  subspecies were identified by comparative genomic analysis. The specificity of primer sets for selected genes specific to each targeted microbe was confirmed in kimchi samples. Interestingly, in all the kimchi samples at 4 °C, the presence of  L. plantarum  subsp.  argentoratensis  was not observed. Hence, we found that low temperatures markedly affected the ontogeny of  L. plantarum  subsp.  argentoratensis  during kimchi fermentation. Subsequently, this touchstone method will offer new insight and metrics to understand the ontogeny and succession of  L. plantarum  subsp.  plantarum  and  L. plantarum  subsp.  argentoratensis  in various niches.
