Journal ArticleDOI
Purification and amino acid sequence of sakacin A, a bacteriocin from Lactobacillus sake Lb706.
TL;DR: Sakacin A, a bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus sake Lb706 and which inhibits the growth of Listeria monocytogenes, was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulphate precipitation and ion-exchange, hydrophobic-interaction and reversed-phase chromatography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transformation of Lactobacillus strains used in meat and vegetable fermentations
Thea Aukrust,Hans Blom +1 more
TL;DR: Electroporation using the electroporation solutions 952 m m sucrose with 3·5 m m MgCl2 or 30% polyethylene glycol (PEG 1500) was found to be efficient, giving transformation efficiencies sufficient for most practical applications.
Book ChapterDOI
Transformation of Lactobacillus by electroporation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning and nucleotide sequence of a gene from Lactobacillus sake Lb706 necessary for sakacin A production and immunity.
TL;DR: In this paper, a DNA fragment of approximately 1.8 kb, derived from a 60-kb plasmid of strain Lb706 and present in the inserts of both clones, was used to identify genes involved in sakacin A production and immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transformation of Lactobacillus plantarum with the plasmid pTV1 by electroporation
Thea Aukrust,Ingolf F. Nes +1 more
TL;DR: ThePlasmid pTV1 which contains the pE194 replicon from Staphylococcus aureus and transposon Tn917 from Streptococcus faecalis was shown to replicate as a high copy number plasmid in L. plantarum, and the two encoded antibiotic resistance traits were expressed.
