Identification and functional analysis of two oligopeptide transporters supporting the growth of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei strain Shirota in milk

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Graphical abstract Lacticaseibacillus paracasei strain Shirota (LcS) employs two distinct oligopeptide transporters, Opp Lc and Dpp Lc , to facilitate nitrogen acquisition during growth in milk. These transporters exhibit differential substrate specificity, enabling the uptake of oligopeptides of varying lengths derived from milk proteins.
