Yogurt customarily contains large numbers of viable starter culture, although some yogurt is heat-treated to inactivate the starter. It was found that heating to inactivate the starter also inactivated lactase. This could have a disadvantageous effect on lactose-intolerant consumers. Manufacture of frozen yogurt did not have any appreciable damaging effect on the yogurt culture or lactase activity.

ABSTRACTThe nonstarter lactic acid bacteriumLeuconostoc pseudomesenteroidesis a species widely found in the dairy industry and plays a key role in the formation of aromatic compounds. Here, we report the first genome sequence of a dairy strain ofLeuconostoc pseudomesenteroides, which is 2 Mb.

ABSTRACT Almost a century has elapsed since the discovery of bacteriophages (phages), and 85 years have passed since the emergence of evidence that phages can infect starter cultures, thereby impacting dairy fermentations. Soon afterward, research efforts were undertaken to investigate phage interactions regarding starter strains. Investigations into phage biology and morphology and phage–host relationships have been aimed at mitigating the negative impact phages have on the fermented dairy industry. From the viewpoint of a supplier of dairy starter cultures, this review examines the composition of an industrial phage collection, providing insight into the development of starter strains and cultures and the evolution of phages in the industry. Research advances in the diversity of phages and structural bases for phage–host recognition and an overview of the perpetual arms race between phage virulence and host defense are presented, with a perspective toward the development of improved phage-resistant starter culture systems.

ABSTRACT Xylose metabolism, a variable phenotype in strains ofLactococcus lactis, was studied and evidence was obtained for the accumulation of mutations that inactivate the xyloperon. The xylose metabolism operon (xylRAB) was sequenced from three strains of lactococci. Fragments of 4.2, 4.2, and 5.4 kb that included the xyl locus were sequenced from L. lactis subsp. lactis B-4449 (formerlyLactobacillus xylosus), L. lactis subsp.lactis IO-1, and L. lactis subsp.lactis 210, respectively. The two environmental isolates,L. lactis B-4449 and L. lactis IO-1, produce active xylose isomerases and xylulokinases and can metabolize xylose.L. lactis 210, a dairy starter culture strain, has neither xylose isomerase nor xylulokinase activity and is Xyl−. Xylose isomerase and xylulokinase activities are induced by xylose and repressed by glucose in the two Xyl+ strains. Sequence comparisons revealed a number of point mutations in thexylA, xylB, and xylR genes inL. lactis 210, IO-1, and B-4449. None of these mutations, with the exception of a premature stop codon in xylB, are obviously lethal, since they lie outside of regions recognized as critical for activity. Nevertheless, either cumulatively or because of indirect affects on the structures of catalytic sites, these mutations render some strains of L. lactis unable to metabolize xylose.
