Brevibacterium linens or Bacterium linens.


Explanation:
Streptoccus Lactis is the most general name for bacteria that is used to curdle milk to make UK cheeses. See
preserve.nal.usda.gov:8300/jag/v22/v22i2/220093/220093.htm

And there is a list of bacteria here -
http://www.science-projects.com/dairybacteria.htm

I thought that the rinensu or linensu
might be German but I could find no corresponding German. The German for lactobacillus is Milchschrebazillus
and for Streptococcus lactis, Streptokokke Lactis.

Then I found the second of the two pages
below the first of which mentions the Brevibacterium linens as the crucial bacteria for the creationg of Beaufort Cheese (a washed rind cheese). And Bacterium linens is mentioned as the bacteria for Munster, another famous washed rind cheese at the following URL
