Abstract excerpt
A beta-phosphoglucomutase (beta-PGM) mutant of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis ATCC 19435 was constructed using a minimal integration vector and double-crossover recombination. The mutant and the wild-type strain were grown under controlled conditions with different sugars to elucidate the role of beta-PGM in carbohydrate catabolism and anabolism. The mutation did not significantly affect growth, product...
