Abstract

Molecular genetics of lactic acid bacteria The lactic acid bacteria are an important group of food-use industrial micro-organisms that are involved in a wide range of fermentation processes and cell factory applications. This project aims to increase understanding of the genetics of Lactococcus lactis and develop genetic tools for strain improvement. The focus of the project is on whole genome sequence analysis of the model strain MG1363 that was developed at IFR and used word-wide as the prototype strain of L lactis. In addition, there is an emphasis on the characterisation and exploitation of the conjugation system associated with the chromosomal sex factor that is present in this strain
