Riboflavin production in Lactococcus lactis: potential for in situ production of vitamin-enriched foods
Article Abstract:
The characterization of riboflavin biosynthesis in Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris NZ9000, a bacterium which can be used as a model for the development of strains that have the ability to produce an essential vitamin in situ which would contribute significantly to the functional value of certain fermented foods is described.

Transformation of folate-consuming lactobacillus gasseri into a folate producer
Article Abstract:
Five genes essential for folate biosynthesis in lactococcus lactis are cloned on a broad-host-range lactococcal vector and were transferred to the folate auxotroph lactobacillus gasseri. The findings indicate that lactobacillus gasseri changed from a folate consumer to a folate producer.
