Abstract excerpt
A strain YF43, which can grow on sucrose as rapidly as glucose, was isolated by mutation from Lactobacillus amylovorus JCM 1126, the type strain defective in sucrose utilization. Exogenous sucrose stimulated the production of invertase by strains YF43 and JCM 1126 simultaneously. In a medium containing fructooligosaccharide as the sole carbon source, the cells of strain YF43 showed high invertase activity in...
