The stability, pH-dependence and kinetic properties of the Mn2+ and FDP-activated NAD-dependent lactic acid dehydrogenases from Lactobacillus casei ssp. casei (ATCC 393) and L. curvatus (DSM 20010) were studied after the enzymes were purified to homogeneity by affinity chromatography. Both enzymes a

β¦ Synopsis
Gene transfer processes (transduction, conjugation, protoplast fusion mediated exchange, transformation in protoplasts) in lactic acid bacteria are reviewed in this paper. Besides, the detailed molecular nature of lactose plasmids in the Streptococcus lactis C2, 712 and ML3 strain complex is discussed.

The term "lactic acid bacteria" is discussed. An overview of the following topics is given: main pathways of homo-and heterofermentation of hexoses, i.e. glycolysis, bifidus pathway, 6-phosphogluconate pathway; uptake and dissimilation of lactose (tagatose pathway); fermentation of pentoses and pent
Traditional fermented foods (fish, meat and vegetable products), produced by many different processes, are eaten in many parts of Thailand. Lactic acid bacteria are responsible for the souring and ripening of these foods. Homofermentative strains of Lucfobucihs penfosus, L. plunkrum and Pediococcus
