چکیده
The gene responsible for the uncommon glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) activity of Lactococcus lactis was identified and characterized. It encodes a GDH of family I that is mainly active in glutamate biosynthesis, is carried by a large plasmid, and is included, with functional cadmium resistance genes, in a remnant Tn3-like transposon.

Cloning of EprA1 gene of Aeromonas hydrophila in Lactococcus lactis
Bacterial-based systems as live vectors for the delivery of heterologous antigens offer a number of advantages as vaccination strategies. Developments in genetic engineering have given Gram-positive lacticacid bacteria (LAB) the advantage of being used as a host expression system for antigen delivery to inducethe immune response. A fragment containing the full length of the “eprA1” ...
متن کاملGlutamate dehydrogenase activity can be transmitted naturally to Lactococcus lactis strains to stimulate amino acid conversion to aroma compounds.
Amino acid conversion to aroma compounds by Lactococcus lactis is limited by the low production of alpha-ketoglutarate that is necessary for the first step of conversion. Recently, glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) activity that catalyzes the reversible glutamate deamination to alpha-ketoglutarate was detected in L. lactis strains isolated from a vegetal source, and the gene responsible for the act...
متن کاملSequence analysis of the mobilizable lactococcal plasmid pGdh442 encoding glutamate dehydrogenase activity.
A novel plasmid named pGdh442 had previously been isolated from a plant Lactococcus lactis strain. This plasmid encodes two interesting properties with applications in the dairy industry: a glutamate dehydrogenase activity that stimulates amino acid conversion to aroma compounds, and cadmium/zinc resistance that can be used as a selectable marker. Moreover, this plasmid can be transferred natur...
متن کاملConstruction of vaccine from Lactococcus lactis bacteria using Aeromonas hydrophila virulent Aerolysin gene
In this study the forward and reverse primers were designated to amplify the segments (~250 bps and ~650 bps) of the gene coding domains 1 and 4 of aerolysin of Aeromonas hydrophila. These two domains are involved in pathogenesis of the aerolysin gene. Sequences for two restriction enzymes, Pst I and Hind III, were included in the forward and reverse primers respectively. These restriction enz...
متن کاملExpression of Brucella abortus Omp25 Protein in Lactococcus lactis Probiotic Bacteria
Background and purpose: The sequence of Omp25 is conserved in all Brucella species. The high antigenicity of the product of this gene stimulates the host’s immune system. Using engineered probiotic bacteria is an appropriate method for vaccine transport. The aim of this study was to express the Omp25 of the Brucella abortus pathogenic bacterium in Lactococcus lactis probiotic bacterium. Materi...
