From:Canadian Journal of Microbiology (Vol. 54, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedIn the present work, we evaluated if oral immunization with the pneumococcal protective protein A (PppA), expressed in the cell wall of Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis PppA+), was able to confer protective immunity...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 13, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedLactococcus lactis is an ovoid bacterium that forms filaments during planktonic and biofilm lifestyles by uncoupling cell division from cell elongation. In this work, we investigate the role of the leading peptidoglycan...

Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis infection in waterfowl: first confirmation in animals. (Dispatches)
We report the first description, confirmed by bacteriologic and molecular (polymerase chain reaction and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis) analysis, of an infection in animals caused by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis,... -
From:Canadian Journal of Microbiology (Vol. 54, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedAbstract: This work demostrates that nonrecombinant Lactococcus lactis NZ, administered by the oral route at the proper dose, is able to improve resistance against pneumococcal infection. Lactococcus lactis NZ oral...

From:BioMed Research InternationalPeer-ReviewedA superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene of Lactococcus lactis M4 was cloned and expressed in a prokaryotic system. Sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame of 621 bp which codes for 206 amino acid residues. Expression...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 15, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedDevelopment of the cerebral cortex may be influenced by the composition of the maternal gut microbiota. To test this possibility, we administered probiotic Lactococcus lactis in drinking water to mouse dams from day 10.5...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedWhen activated by viral infection, plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) play a primary role in the immune response through secretion of IFN-[alpha]. Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis JCM5805 (JCM5805) is a strain of...
-
From:Biotechnology Research InternationalPeer-ReviewedIn this study, we have developed a system for display of antigens of Enterovirus type 71 (EV71) on the cell surface of L. lactis. The viral capsid protein (VP1) gene from a local viral isolate was utilized as the...
-
From:Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research (Vol. 50, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedThis study aimed to investigate the effects of heme oxygenase-1 recombinant Lactococcus lactis (LL-HO-1) on the intestinal barrier of rats with hemorrhagic shock. One hundred Sprague-Dawley male rats (280-320 g) were...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedPili produced by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis are putative linear structures consisting of repetitive subunits of the major pilin PilB that forms the backbone, pilin PilA situated at the distal end of the pilus, and...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedWe report a method for obtaining turbid plaques of the lactococcal bacteriophage TP901-1 and its derivative TP901-BC1034. We have further used the method to isolate clear plaque mutants of this phage. Analysis of 8 such...

Eliker-trimethoprim medium: a new selective tool for the isolation and growth of Lactococcus species
Lactic acid bacteria are phenotypically a very heterogeneous group. This group is characterized by the type of common criteria Gram positive, absence of catalase producing mainly lactic acid. The genus Lactococcus... -
From:Biotechnology for Biofuels (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The secondary alcohol 2-butanol has many important applications, e.g., as a solvent. Industrially, it is usually made by sulfuric acid-catalyzed hydration of butenes. Microbial production of 2-butanol has...
-
From:Gut Pathogens (Vol. 11, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Majority of enteric infections are foodborne and antimicrobials including antibiotics have been used for their control and treatment. However, probiotics or prebiotics or their combination offer a...
-
From:Gene Therapy (Vol. 25, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedThe non-invasive food grade Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis) represents a safe and attractive alternative to invasive pathogens for the delivery of plasmid DNA at mucosal sites. We have earlier shown the DNA delivery...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 15, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Caroline Monat, Benoit Cousineau * Introduction Group II introns are large ribozymes that share a complex but universally conserved RNA secondary structure composed of six domains (DI-DVI) linked...
-
From:Canadian Journal of Microbiology (Vol. 54, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedAbstract: A large chromosomal inversion that confers resistance to high concentrations of the antibiotic spectinomycin in Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis bv. diacetylactis S50 was identified by pulsed field gel...
-
From:BioMed Research InternationalPeer-ReviewedPrevious studies showed that hydrolysates of [beta]-lactoglobulin (BLG) prepared using gastrointestinal proteases strongly inhibit dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) activity in vitro. In this study, we developed a...
