''Abiotrophia balaenopterae'' is a bacterium from the genus ''Abiotrophia'' which has been isolated from a common minke whale The common minke whale or northern minke whale (''Balaenoptera acutorostrata'') is a species of minke whale within the suborder of baleen whales.

Abiotrophia
''Abiotrophia'' is a genus of lactic acid bacteria, a family in the phylum Bacillota (Bacteria). Species The genus contains 4 species of coccus shaped species, 2 are former members of the genus ''Streptococcus'', which were transferred in 1995 to the newly coined genus ''Abiotrophia'': * '' A. adiacens'' ( (Bouvet ''et'' ''al''. 1989) Kawamura ''et'' ''al''. 1995; Latin feminine gender adjective ''adiacens'', adjacent, indicating that this organism can grow as satellite colonies adjacent to other bacterial growth.) * '' A. defectiva'' ( (Bouvet ''et'' ''al''. 1989) Kawamura ''et'' ''al''. 1995, comb. nov. (Type species of the genus).; Latin feminine gender adjective ''defectiva'', deficient.) Other 2 are latter additions: * '' A. balaenopterae'' ( Lawson ''et'' ''al''. 1999; New Latin genitive case noun ''balaenopterae'', pertaining to the minke whale, ''Balaenoptera acutorostrata'', from which the organism was isolated.) * '' A. elegans'' ( Roggenkamp ''et'' ''al''. 1999; Latin f ...

Common Minke Whale
The common minke whale or northern minke whale (''Balaenoptera acutorostrata'') is a species of minke whale within the suborder of baleen whales. It is the smallest species of the rorquals and the second smallest species of baleen whale. Although first ignored by whalers due to its small size and low oil yield, it began to be exploited by various countries beginning in the early 20th century. As other species declined larger numbers of common minke whales were caught, largely for their meat. It is now one of the primary targets of the whaling industry. There is a dwarf form in the Southern Hemisphere. This species is known in the fossil record from the Pliocene epoch to the Quaternary period (age range: 3.6 million years ago to present day). Vernacular names The origins of the species' common name are obscure. One of the first references to the name came in Henrik Johan Bull's account of his 1893–95 voyage to the Antarctic, when he mentioned catching a small whale "cal ...

Lactobacillales
Lactobacillales are an order of gram-positive, GC-content, low-GC, acid-tolerant, generally nonsporulating, Aerotolerant anaerobe, nonrespiring, either rod-shaped (bacillus (shape), bacilli) or spherical (cocci) bacteria that share common metabolic and physiological characteristics. These bacteria, usually found in decomposing plants and milk products, produce lactic acid as the major metabolic end product of carbohydrate fermentation (food), fermentation, giving them the common name lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Production of lactic acid has linked LAB with Fermentation (food), food fermentations, as acidification inhibits the growth of spoilage agents. Proteinaceous bacteriocins are produced by several LAB strains and provide an additional hurdle for spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms. Furthermore, lactic acid and other metabolic products contribute to the organoleptic and textural profile of a food item. The industrial importance of the LAB is further evidenced by their gene ...
