CLONING A COLD-INDUCIBLE LACTOCOCCUS GENE AND ITS PROMOTER, AND THEIR USES

摘要

The invention concerns cold-inducible lactic bacteria gene and its promoter. It concerns in particular the cspB gene of the lactococcus, and of the promoter of said gene. The gene is useful particularly for making lactic bacteria more resistant to cold, and the promoter is useful particularly for the inducible expression of genes of interest in the lactococci, for instance the inducible expression of genes causing bacterial lysis.
