Pediococcus acidilactici is a Gram-positive, homofermentative coccus in the family Lactobacillaceae, commonly found in fermented foods such as sausages, cheese, and silage. It is used as a starter culture and probiotic and is notable for producing pediocin PA-1, a class IIa bacteriocin with potent anti-listerial activity. The genome of P. acidilactici is relatively small (~2 Mb) with strain-level variation in bacteriocin gene clusters and carbohydrate utilisation operons.

How to read this: A value outside a failure limit fails QC. Within the failure limits, values beyond a warning limit are borderline and worth a manual look; values within the warning limits pass that criterion. A dash means that no bound is defined on that side.
