Lactococcus is a genus of gram-positive lactic acid bacteria, which belongs to the family of Streptococcaceae.strong data-end="246" data-start="226">Streptococcaceae and is known for its important role in dairy fermentation, gut health and skin care. These bacteria are naturally found in dairy products, on plants and in the human microbiome. In food technology, Lactococcus lactis and related strains are essential for the production of yoghurt, cheese and fermented foods.yoghurt, cheese and fermented products, as they produce lactic acid and thus contribute to acidification and preservation.
In addition to their technical relevance, health-promoting properties of Lactococcus strains are increasingly coming into focus. Some strains, especially Lactococcus lactis, show probiotic potential: They produce bioactive peptides, can strengthen the intestinal mucosal barrier, modulate the immune system and reduce inflammatory processes in the intestine. They also promote the colonisation of beneficial bacteria and can displace pathogenic germs. Inactivated Lactococcus strains are also gaining importance in postbiotic research - they can even contribute to soothing and regenerating the skin barrier in skincare products.
Another area of research is focussing on the use of Lactococcus in gene therapy vaccination, as certain strains can be genetically modified in order to target immune responses. In practice, Lactococcus strains are therefore used both in probiotic food supplements and in the functional food and cosmetics sector.
