This note represents a grouping of identical Lactococcus lactis sequences from various subspecies and strains. This sequences is represented as Group 4. The other Lactococcus lactis sequences are in Groups 1, 2, and 3. In all four groups, there are 15 sequences total. The full name and GenBank accession number of the Lactococcus lactis sequence classified in Group 4 are as follows: Organism name GenBank AC# Lactococcus lactis sbsp. lactis strain IL2961 AF375554 Table 1. Full names and Genbank accession numbers of the sequence in Group 4. Table 2 (shown below) shows the differences between the groups of sequences. All sequences are 310 bp long.
