Lactococcus lactis is of great importance for the nutrition of hundreds of millions of people
worldwide. This paper describes the genome sequence of Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris …

Development of the human gut microbiota commences at birth, with bifidobacteria being among
the first colonizers of the sterile newborn gastrointestinal tract. To date, the genetic basis …

The human intestine is densely populated by a microbial consortium whose metabolic
activities are influenced by, among others, bifidobacteria. However, the genetic basis of …

The C-terminal region (cA) of the major autolysin AcmA of Lactococcus lactis contains three
highly similar repeated regions of 45 amino acid residues (LysM domains), which are …

Bifidobacteria, one of the relatively dominant components of the human intestinal microbiota,
are considered one of the key groups of beneficial intestinal bacteria (probiotic bacteria). …

Carbon catabolite control protein A (CcpA) is the main regulator involved in carbon
catabolite repression in gram-positive bacteria. Time series gene expression analyses of …
