Generation and Characterization of Environmentally Sensitive Variants of the beta-Galactosidase from Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus.

abstract：:Azospirillum lipoferum 4T has original properties such as nonmotility, melanin synthesis, and laccase activity. Following random Tn5 mutagenesis in A. lipoferum 4T, we obtained 10 mutants which were affected in melanization and laccase activity. The class 1 mutants, with intermediate levels of laccase activity, showed...
