Role of galK and galM in Galactose Metabolism by Streptococcus thermophilus

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: Streptococcus thermophilus is unable to metabolize the galactose moiety of lactose. In this paper, we show that a transformant of S. thermophilus SMQ-301 expressing Streptococcus salivarius galK and galM was able to grow on galactose and expelled at least twofold less galactose into the medium during growth on lactose.
