This note represents a grouping of identical Lactococcus lactis sequences from 
various subspecies and strains.  These sequences are represented as Group 3.
The other Lactococcus lactis sequences are in Groups 1, 2, and 4.  In all four groups, 
there are 15 sequences total.

The full names and GenBank accession numbers of Lactococcus lactis sequences classified in 
Group 3 are as follows:
