Complete Genome Sequences of 28 Lactococcal Bacteriophages Isolated from Failed Dairy Fermentation Processes.

Lactococcus lactis is a Gram-positive lactic acid bacterium commonly used in the dairy industry for the production of fermented foods such as buttermilk and a wide variety of cheeses. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of 28 bacteriophages infecting different L. lactis industrial starter strains isolated from dairy plants throughout the world.
