Abstract

A 36 kb plasmid, designed as pLL 10236, was determined in Lactococcus lactis subsp. Lactis LL102. This plasmid mediates lactose fermentation ability (Lac(+)) bacteriocin production (Bac(+)) and immunity (Imm(+)) and restriction/modification (R+M+) activity against bacteriophage O1120 in strain LL102. The conjugal ability of pLL 10236 and expression of pLL 10236 encoding traits were determined by using a Lac(-), Bac(-), Imm(-) and (R-M-) recipient strain L. lactis subsp. lactis P81-1.
