Streptococcus thermophilus is unable to metabolize the galactose moiety of lactose. In this paper, we show that a transformant of S. thermophilus SMQ-301 expressing Streptococcus salivarius galK and galM was able to grow on galactose and expelled at least twofold less galactose into the medium during growth on lactose.
嗜热链球菌无法代谢乳糖的半乳糖部分。在本文中,我们表明,表达唾液链球菌galK和galM的嗜热链球菌SMQ-301转化体能够在半乳糖上生长,并且在乳糖生长过程中向培养基中排出的半乳糖至少减少了两倍。
