title: Preliminary attempts at bacteriocin typing of lactic streptococci.
abstract: Preliminary attempts at typing Streptococcus lactis, S. lactis subsp. diacetylactis and Streptococcus cremoris strains by bacteriocins (lactostrepcins) are presented. Among 106 strains used about 85% were sensitive to lactostreptocins. The highest proportion of bacteriocin-typing strains was observed in S. lactis species. Lactostrepcin-sensitive strains could be divided into 6 types. The results confirm some individual features of S. diacetylactis compared with S. lactis.
