Description:
We report the draft genome sequence of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis bv. diacetylactis CRL264, a natural strain isolated from
artisanal cheese from northwest Argentina. L. lactis subsp. lactis bv. diacetylactis is one of the most important microorganisms
used as starter culture around the world. The CRL264 strain constitutes a model microorganism in the studies on the generation
of aroma compounds (diacetyl, acetoin, and 2,3-butanediol) by lactic acid bacteria. Our genome analysis shows similar genetic
organization to other available genomes of L. lactis bv. diacetylactis strains.
