Abstract excerpt
The lacticin 481-producer (Lct+), L. lactis subsp. lactis (L. lactis) CNRZ 481 harbours 5 plasmids of 6.5, 7.5, 20, 37 and 69 kb. Novobiocin treatment of L. lactis 481 led to the appearance of lacticin 481 deficient variants which had all lost the 69 kb plasmid. Conjugal transfer of the lacticin 481 structural gene (lct) into the plasmid free strain L. lactis IL1441 yielded Lct+ transconjugants at a 10(-4)...
