FEMS Microbiol Lett. 1990 Mar 1;56(1-2):109-13. doi: 10.1016/0378-1097(90)90134-c.

Abstract

Chemical and molecular taxonomic studies were performed on a representative strain of some lactic acid bacteria of unknown taxonomic position isolated from salmonid fish. The results demonstrate that the fish bacterium represents a new species of the genus Lactococcus for which the name Lactococcus piscium sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Lactococcus piscium is NCFB 2778.
