Journal ArticleDOI
Complete genome sequence of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1
Michiel Kleerebezem,Jos Boekhorst,Richard van Kranenburg,Douwe Molenaar,Oscar P. Kuipers,R.J. Leer,Renato Tarchini,Sander Peters,Hans Sandbrink,Mark Fiers,Willem J. Stiekema,René Klein Lankhorst,Peter A. Bron,Sally M. Hoffer,Masja Nierop Groot,Robert Kerkhoven,Maaike C. de Vries,Björn M. Ursing,Willem M. de Vos,Roland J. Siezen +19 more
TL;DR: The 3,308,274-bp sequence of the chromosome of Lactobacillus plantarum strain WCFS1, a single colony isolate of strain NCIMB8826 that was originally isolated from human saliva, has been determined, and contains 3,052 predicted protein-encoding genes, suggesting that these genes form a lifestyle adaptation region in the chromosome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular characterization of the plasmid‐encoded eps gene cluster essential for exopolysaccharide biosynthesis in Lactococcus lactis
TL;DR: Heterologous expression of epsD in Escherichia coli showed that its gene product is a glucosyltransferase linking the first sugar of the repeating unit to the lipid carrier.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flavour formation from amino acids by lactic acid bacteria: predictions from genome sequence analysis
Richard van Kranenburg,Michiel Kleerebezem,Johan E. T. van Hylckama Vlieg,Björn M. Ursing,Jos Boekhorst,Bart Smit,Eman H.E Ayad,Gerrit Smit,Roland J. Siezen +8 more
TL;DR: Examples are given how bioinformatics tools can be used to search in genomes for essential components, such as proteinases, peptidases, aminotransferases, enzymes for biosynthesis of amino acids, and transport systems for peptides and amino acids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete Sequences of Four Plasmids of Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris SK11 Reveal Extensive Adaptation to the Dairy Environment
Roland J. Siezen,Bernadet Renckens,Iris I. van Swam,Sander Peters,Richard van Kranenburg,Michiel Kleerebezem,Willem M. de Vos +6 more
TL;DR: Newly identified plasmid-encoded functions could facilitate the uptake of various cations, while the pabA and pabB genes could be essential for folate biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sugar catabolism and its impact on the biosynthesis and engineering of exopolysaccharide production in lactic acid bacteria
Ingeborg C. Boels,Richard van Kranenburg,Jeroen Hugenholtz,Michiel Kleerebezem,Willem M. de Vos +4 more
TL;DR: A mini review will discuss the potential engineering strategies of sugar catabolism for the production of EPS by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and its applications in metabolic engineering studies to modify EPS production and composition.
