Lineage: Carnobacterium; Carnobacterium; Carnobacteriaceae; Lactobacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Seawater. Norway: Isfjord, Spitsbergen. Isolated from permanently cold seawater. Carnobacteria are ubiquitous lactic acid bacteria, which have been frequently isolated from temperate to polar aquatic environments and food products such as seafood, dairy, and meat.
Subject: NC_013656:2505783 Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis KF147, complete genome
Lineage: Lactococcus lactis; Lactococcus; Streptococcaceae; Lactobacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Isolated from mung bean sprouts. This microbe is a member of the lactic acid bacteria and produces lactic acid from sugars. It is found in many environments including plant and animal habitats. Lactococcus lactis is used as a starter culture for the production of cheese products (such as cheddar) and in milk fermentations and, as such, is one of the most important microbes in the food industry. The degradation of casein, acidification by lactic acid, and production of flavor compounds, processes that are caused by the bacteria, contribute to the final product.
