Abstract excerpt
Lactose metabolism is one of the most important areas of research on Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB). In rapidly acidifying industrial Lactococcus lactis strains, lactose is transported by a lactose-specific phosphotransferase system (PTS) encoded by a plasmid. However, an alternative lactose catabolic pathway was evidenced in the plasmid-cured, and thus initially lactose-negative L. lactis IL1403. We showed that in...
