Project description:The presence of tagatose in Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain GG caused induction of a large number of genes associated with carbohydrate metabolism including the phosphotransferase system. In addition, these results indicate the tagatose enhanced the growth of Lactobacillus casei 01 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain GG and their probiotic activities by activating tagatose-associated PTS networks.
Project description:The response to bile of Lactobacillus casei BL23 and its derivative strain TC01 was investigated. TC01 strain carries a complete deletion of gene LCABL_02080 which encodes a two component signal transduction response regulator.
