HAIFA, Israel—Scientists have discovered a new species of bacteria, Chryseobacterium oranimense, which can grow at cold temperatures and secrete enzymes that have the potential to spoil milk even when refrigerated.
"When we looked at the bacteria living in raw milk, we found that many of them had not been identified before," said Malka Halpern, MD, from the University of Haifa, Israel.
The research was published in the November issue of the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology.
