Abstract excerpt
Leuconostoc mesenteroides strains play an important role in food fermentation. In this study, 136 strains from different dairy products in China and Mongolia were examined by multilocus sequence typing of 9 housekeeping genes. In total, 82 polymorphic sites were detected among the 9 loci. The number of polymorphic nucleotide sites varied between 4 (dnaA) and 18 (uvrC), whereas the nucleotide diversity per site...
