Abstract:
:Relatedness between Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris and L. lactis subsp. lactis was assessed by Southern hybridization analysis, with cloned chromosomal genes as probes. The results indicate that strains of the two subspecies form two distinct groups and that the DNA sequence divergence between L. lactis subsp. lactis and L. lactis subsp. cremoris is estimated to be between 20 and 30%. The previously used phenotypic criteria do not fully discriminate between the groups; therefore, we propose a new classification which is based on DNA homology. In agreement with this revised classification, the L. lactis subsp. lactis and L. lactis subsp. cremoris strains from our collection have distinct phage sensitivities.
