Lactovum is a genus of bacteria within the family Streptococcaceae. The genus contains a single species, Lactovum miscens, an aerotolerant, anaerobic species originally isolated from soil from the Stiegerwald forest in Germany.[1][2]

The genome sequence of the DF1 strain of Lactovum has been sequenced. It has a genome size of 2.1 million bases. It 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.[3]
