Weissella hellenica^[2] 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^[3] and barrels used to make Japanese pickles. Some strains have been observed to be probiotic while some have not.^[4] Some strains produce bacteriocins named weissellicins which show antimicrobial activity against other bacteria.^[5]
