Weissella hellenica^[1] is a species of Gram-positive bacteria, placed within the family of Leuconostocaceae. It is frequently isolated from fermented sausage and flounder intestine, as well as Korean fermented pickle Kimchi^[2] and barrels used to make Japanese pickles. Some strains have been observed to be probiotic while some have not.^[3] Some strains produce bacteriocins named weissellicins which show antimicrobial activity against other bacteria.^[4]
