Lactococcus lactis genome, polypeptides and uses

摘要

The invention concerns the genome sequence and nucleotide sequences of Lactococcus lactis IL1403. The invention also concerns polypeptides of said organism, in particular cell envelope polypeptides, polypeptides involved in different metabolism cycles, resistance to phages or stress, or still secreted polypeptides. The invention further concerns the use of said sequences, and different tools for identifying L. lactis or associated species. Finally the invention concerns L. lactis strains modified so as to increase their industrial properties.
