From our metagenomic reads, we identified homologs of a previously characterized secreted cold-adapted lipase and protease ( de Pascale et al., 2008 and de Pascale et al., 2010) (Table S4C), which could contribute to lipolysis and proteolysis and subsequent flavor formation in cheeses. Collectively, these metagenomic insights into the potential function of Pseudoalteromonas suggest that this and other uninoculated yet abundant microbes could play key roles in cheese rind microbial communities.
