Lactovum is a genus of bacteria within the family Streptococcaceae, the genus is closely related to the genera Lactococcus and Pseudolactococcus.

Biochemistry

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]

Ecology

The type species of Lactovum, L. miscens was isolated from acidic forest soil,[1] while L. odontotermitis was described from two strains, isolated from the guts of termites.
