Abstract excerpt
A lactococcal expression system was developed which allows the exclusive production of novel nisins encoded by mutated pre-nisin (nisA) genes. This system is based on a combination of a specifically constructed host strain and vectors which facilitate the genetic manipulation of the nisA gene. The wild-type chromosomal gene is effectively replaced with a variant nisA gene, by the technique of gene replacement....
