Abstract excerpt
The nisA promoter is positively regulated in Lactococcus lactis ATCC 11454 by autoinduction via a two-component NisRK-mediated system. However, induction of this promoter can also occur when introduced into the plasmid-free L. lactis LM0230 during growth in galactose or lactose, independent of the NisRK system. In this study, we also characterized this galactose-mediated induction by determining the nisA start...
