Abstract excerpt
Sequences of the lacSZ operon of 29 Streptococcus thermophilus strains from different dairy products were determined. Differences in sequence among the strains were detected within LacS more often than in the LacZ gene. The sequences were aligned and compared and it was possible to gather the strains into three groups of similarity on the basis of the LacS gene sequence. The dairy environment of origin did not...
