Gene-Trait Matching and Prevalence of Nisin Tolerance Systems in Lactococus lactis
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Lactococcus lactis cheese starter cultures typically contain a mix of many strains and may include variants that produce and/or tolerate the antimicrobial bacteriocin nisin. Nisin is well-established as an effective agent against several undesirable Gram-
