Journal ArticleDOI
Mutation and Selection of Lactobacillus plantarum Strains That Do Not Produce Carbon Dioxide from Malate.
TL;DR: A differential medium was developed for rapid screening and isolation of mutagenized cells that had lost the ability to produce CO(2) from malate in strains of Lactobacillus plantarum.
Journal ArticleDOI
A triggered-suicide system designed as a defense against bacteriophages.
Gordana Djordjevic,Daniel J. O'Sullivan,Shirley A. Walker,Mark A. Conkling,Todd R. Klaenhammer +4 more
TL;DR: A novel bacteriophage protection system for Lactococcus lactis based on a genetic trap, in which a strictly phage-inducible promoter isolated from the lytic phage phi31 is used to activate a bacterial suicide system after infection, was developed.

TL;DR: A nomenclature is described for restriction endon nucleases, DNA methyltransferases, homing endonucleases and related genes and gene products that provides explicit categories for the many different Type II enzymes now identified and provides a system for naming the putative genes found by sequence analysis of microbial genomes.
Patent
Lactobacillus acidophilus nucleic acid sequences encoding stress-related proteins and uses therefor
Todd R. Klaenhammer,Eric Altermann,Andrea Azcarate-Peril,Olivia McAuliffe,W. Michael Russell +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, stress-related fusion proteins, antigenic peptides, and anti-stress-related antibodies are encompassed, and recombinant expression vectors containing a nucleic acid molecule of the invention are provided.
AUTHOR'S CORRECTION Epidemic Clone I-Specific Genetic Markers in Strains of Listeria monocytogenes Serotype 4b from Foods
Suleyman Yildirim,Wen Lin,Anthony D. Hitchins,Lee-Ann Jaykus,Eric Altermann,Todd R. Klaenhammer,Sophia Kathariou +6 more
TL;DR: Examination of 34 serogroup 4 (putative or confirmed serotype 4b) isolates of L. monocytogenes obtained from various foods and food-processing environments, without known implication in illness, revealed that many of these strains had methylation of cytosines at GATC sites in the genome, rendering their DNA resistant to digestion by the restriction endonuclease Sau3AI.
