Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To investigate a lactococcal plasmid responsible for a reduction in growth rate of its host cell. METHODS AND RESULTS: Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis DRC1 carries a high number of plasmids. The DRC1 wild-type strain was found to grow more slowly than a plasmid-free derivative of DRC1. The plasmids extracted from DRC1 together with an indicator plasmid were cotransformed into the...
