The leuconostocs are traditionally found in association with plant matter, fermented dairy products, and wines. More recently, new strains have been isolated from meats and clinical sources. Since 1983, six new strains have been added to the genus. The development of new taxonomic methodologies make likely the addition of more strains to this genus in the near future. A brief history, characteristics, isolation, and taxonomic tests for the genus Leuconostoc are presented.

Key Words: leuconostoc • taxonomy • dairy • flavor bacteria
