Lactose and sucrose utilization by Streptococcus thermophilus

Lactose and sucrose utilization by Streptococcus thermophilus

Out of 15 strains of S. thermophilus studied, two underwent rapid autolysis after growth at 42 degree C in broth containing either lactose, glucose or galactose. In contrast, no autolysis was observed after growth on sucrose. The present study was undertaken to examine aspects of disaccharide utiliz...

Zusammenfassung:Out of 15 strains of S. thermophilus studied, two underwent rapid autolysis after growth at 42 degree C in broth containing either lactose, glucose or galactose. In contrast, no autolysis was observed after growth on sucrose. The present study was undertaken to examine aspects of disaccharide utilization in batch cultures and the involvement of sugars in autolysis of S. thermophilus .
