Evidence on inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes by divercin V41 action.

abstract：:The L-2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase (L-BDH) gene of Brevibacterium saccharolyticum was strongly expressed in Escherichia coli using the tac promoter. However, the stereospecificity of the resulting L-BDH was reduced. The region upstream of the meso-BDH gene of Klebsiella pneumoniae was also involved in the expression o...
