A new study reveals how Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis), a common food bacterium, regulates the production of a key precursor in vitamin K₂ (menaquinone) biosynthesis. The bacteria produce enough of ...

This work reports homoalanine fermentation in an L. lactis l-LDH-deficient strain overexpressing l-alanine dehydrogenase (l-AlaDH). Exclusive production of l-alanine was achieved by disruption of the ...

Scientists in India have reported a rare case of infection in a woman who consumed unpasteurized dairy products before falling sick. Lactococcus lactis cremoris, previously known as Streptococcus ...

Scientists in Denmark have discovered a Lactococcus lactis strain from bumblebees that can naturally increase vitamin B2 in fermented soy milk. Using a droplet-based screening method, they rapidly ...

There has been much interest in the potential for using probiotic bacteria for treating skin diseases and other disorders. Japanese researchers have now found that milk that has been fermented using a ...

The Catalysts for Science Policy organization plans to introduce a bill aimed at adopting Lactococcus lactis as Wisconsin’s state microbe. Affiliated with the University of Wisconsin, CaSP’s goal is ...
