Abstract
A lactose-fermenting (Lac.sup.+), mucoid (Muc.sup.+) Streptococcus lactis transconjugant designated ML-3/2.230 was obtained by conjugative co-transfer of Lac.sup.+ Muc.sup.+ phenotypes from Lac.sup.+ Muc.sup.+ Streptococcus cremoris MS to lactose-negative (Lac.sup.+), non-mucoid S. lactis ML-3/2.2. Curing studies on the transconjugant ML-3/2.230 showed that Muc.sup.+ phenotype in the strain was encoded on two plasmids, pSRQ2203 and pSRQ2204. DNA hydridization experiments also indicated the involvement of two plasmids in the expression of the mucoid phenotype. Plasmid pSRQ2203 also contained genetic information for lactose utilization (Lac.sup.+).
