Abstract excerpt
Some strains of Lactobacillus sakei are known to produce the bacteriocin sakacin P, encoded by the spp gene cluster. In strains unable to produce sakacin P, spp homologues were observed. The analysis of 15 strains not producing sakacin P revealed that all contained a region corresponding to a part of sppKR encoding the regulatory elements for sakacin P production. In some strains homologues of sppE and sppT,...
