Production and utilization of peptides in Lactococcus lactis
Year: 2002
Type: dissertation
Abstract: The inability of lactic acid bacteria to synthesize a large number of animo acids necessitates the presence of a proteolyctic system in those environments where protein is the main nitrogen source. For growth in milk, lactococci need the proteolytic system to liberate amino acids form milk proteins (caseins) for optimal growth. The components of the proteolyctic system are located in three compartments: an extracellularly located peptidases. ... Zie: Summary
