Abstract excerpt
Lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) gene sequences, levels of 16S rRNA group-specific probe binding, and phenotypic characteristics were compared for 45 environmental isolates and four commercial starter strains of Lactococcus lactis to identify evolutionary groups best suited to cheddar cheese manufacture, ldh sequences from the environmental isolates showed high similarity to those from two groups of L. lactis used for...
