  • Methods and kits to determine the sensitivity of strains of bacteria to phage infection
    Patent number: 10538818
    Abstract: A kit useful for determining the phage susceptibility of one or more strains of Lactococcus lactis is described. The disclosure also describes methods for formulation of mixed defined starter cultures using strains from different phage sensitivity groups.
    Type: Grant

  • Cloning vector for use in lactic acid bacteria
    Patent number: 5580787
    Abstract: A recombinant plasmid useful as a cloning vector in lactic acid bacteria and only containing DNA of lactic acid bacterial origin, the plasmid comprising (a) a DNA fragment comprising a replication region functional in lactic acid bacteria and (b) a DNA fragment comprising a marker gene selectable in lactic bacteria, the expression of which allows one-step primary selection in lactic acid bacterial cells transformed with the recombinant plasmid; a method for constructing the cloning vector plasmid; the recombinant plasmid with an inserted gene coding for a desired gene product; a method of preparing an improved food starter culture by introducing the recombinant plasmid with an inserted gene coding for a desired gene product and food starter cultures prepared by the method are provided.
