Abstract excerpt

Fast milk-coagulating (Fmc+) strains of lactococci are known to segregate slow milk-coagulating (Fmc-) variants, which has been attributed to loss of proteinase (Prt) activity encoded by plasmid DNA. It was found that the Fmc- phenotype could also be due to loss of a plasmid encoding an oligopept...
