Lactovum is a genus of bacteria within the family Streptococcaceae, the genus is closely related to the genera Lactococcus and Pseudolactococcus.
Species in Lactovum are anaerobic, but aerotolerance has been reported for L. miscens.[1]
The genome sequence of a related strain DF1, proposed with the name Anthococcus, with a genome size of 2.1 million bases, contains a CRISPR cluster which provides immunity against infectious phages. It also contains a fibronectin/fibrinogen-binding protein, a lysozyme and a regulator of exopolysaccharide synthesis for biofilm formation.[2]
