Lactococcus lactis is used extensively in the dairy industry in the production of fermented milk products, and has a relatively simple carbon metabolism pathway. ❋ Steve Carper (2006)

• The Wisconsin legislature is considering a bill to designate a "state bacterium" (the Lactococcus lactis, which is crucial to turning milk into the state's famous cheese). ❋ Unknown (2010)

Most probiotics used in supplements or in food are bacteria from the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium lactis species. ❋ M.D. James Beckerman (2011)

There was the bacillus anthracis; there was the micrococcus; there was the Bacterium termo, and the Bacterium lactis -- that's what turns the goat milk sour even to this day, Hare-Lip; and there were Schizomycetes without end. ❋ Unknown (2010)

We have Greek γάλα (gen. γάλακτος) & γλάγος 'milk' along with Latin lac 'milk' (gen. lactis). ❋ Unknown (2010)

A 201-patient Israeli study from 2005 showed that two strains, Bifidobacterium lactis and Lactobacillus reuteri, reduced diarrhea in infants. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The latest addition to the Maxilact range of neutral lactase preparations, Maxilact LGX is isolated from the dairy yeast Kluyveromyces lactis. ❋ Steve Carper (2008)

Wisconsin has named Lactococcus lactis its official state microbe, beating out both (1) that green stuff that grows on brats if you leave them out too long and (2) Russ Feingold. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Those names, incidentally, are marketing monikers that roll off the tongue more elegantly than this bacteria's scientific name: Bifidobacterium lactis DN 173 010. ❋ Unknown (2010)

By directly engineering this strain of Lactococcus lactis the researchers were able to delete genes that coded for glucose metabolism by the bacteria. ❋ Steve Carper (2006)
