    • The location and organization of the nisin locus in Lactococcus lactis ATCC 11454 were studied. Primer extension of in vivo mRNA transcripts of the gene that encodes the nisin prepropeptide sequence indicated the presence of a promoter at least 4 kb upstream from the nisin gene and that the mRNA has several processing sites. Restriction fragment patterns using rare-cutting enzymes, orthogonal pulsed-field clamped homogeneous electric field (CHEF) agarose gel electrophoresis, and hybridization… CONTINUE READING
