Gene database of Lactococcus lactis strain A12

Used in the diary industry to produce cheese, Lactococcus lactis is a Gram-positive cocci which is Generally regarded as safe. Nonmotile in nature and which can exist in short chains of concatenated cocci, the bacterium produces acids from lactose fermentation. Such acids are particularly useful for curdling milk to produce cheese. This work sought to provide fundamental genomic information of L. lactis strain A12 through parsing its annotated genome sequence from Genbank. Comprising gene name, gene function, and gene sequence, the resource should find use in a variety of biotechnology workflow seeking to improve the functional capabilities of this industrial microbe as well as expanding its biotechnology applications.
