Lactobacillus helveticus is a starter culture in the manufacture of Swiss cheese, Italian aged cheeses, and fermented milk products. Its growth relies on a complex proteolytic system that includes cell-envelope proteinases (CEPs) and peptidases. There were only a few strains of L. helveticus whose proteolytic systems in terms of genotype and phenotype have been characterized. In this study, a phylogenetic configuration and a pan/core genome analysis and an evaluation of the proteolytic enzymatic activities were conducted for 50 trains of L. helveticus including 38 isolated from various ecological niches in our lab. Three L. helveticus strains formed a phylogenetic lineage that was clearly separated from the other strains based on the phylogenetic tree, with the genome sizes from 1.798 to 2.255 Mbp. Diversity in key enzymatic activities was observed among L. helveticus strains. This study provides insight into the genetic and phenotypic diversity of L. helveticus isolated from various environments and the potential application in fermented dairy products.
