Abstract excerpt
The utilization of exogenous peptides was studied in mutants of Lactococcus lactis in which combinations of the peptidase genes pepN, pepC, pepO, pepX and pepT were deleted. Multiple mutants lacking PepN, PepC, PepT plus PepX could not grow on peptides such as Leu-Gly-Gly, Gly-Phe-Leu, Leu-Gly-Pro, Ala-Pro-Leu and Gly-Leu-Gly-Leu, respectively, indicating that no other peptidases are present to release the...
