  Abstract

In this study, we describe the genetic organization of six and five apparent prophage-like elements present in the genomes of the Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris strains MG1363 and SK11, respectively. Phylogenetic investigation as well bioinformatic analyses indicate that all eleven prophages belong to subdivisions of the lactococcal P335 group of temperate bacteriophages.
