Abstract excerpt
Thiol-disulfide bond balance is generally maintained in bacteria by thioredoxin reductase-thioredoxin and/or glutathione-glutaredoxin systems. Some gram-positive bacteria, including Lactococcus lactis, do not produce glutathione, and the thioredoxin system is presumed to be essential. We constructed an L. lactis trxB1 mutant. The mutant was obtained under anaerobic conditions in the presence of dithiothreitol...
