[Structure of the beta-galactosidase gene from Streptococcus diacetylactis 144 and its expression in Escherichia coli and Streptococcus diacetylactis cells].
The ability of industrial strains of mesophylic Streptococcus diacetylactis to synthesize the enzyme beta-galactosidase has been studied. Among the 22 studied strains 8 were found to synthesize the enzyme. Plasmid DNA was isolated from the Streptococcus diacetylactis strain 144 possessing the highest level of beta-galactosidase activity. The cells of the strain harbour the 35, 40 and 60 kb plasmids. The alpha-galactosidase genes from this strain was cloned in Escherichia coli cells. The gene is located on the BglIII DNA fragment of the total plasmid DNA from Streptococcus diacetylactis the size of 2.8 kb. Following the Sau3A restriction endonuclease digestion the gene was subcloned on a birepliconed vector plasmid pCB20. The latter is capable of replication in the Gram-negative as well as Gram-positive microorganisms. The pCB20 derivatives carrying the different length fragments with the beta-galactosidase gene were isolated. DNA of an obtained plasmid was used for transformation of Streptococcus diacetylactis cells. The presence of the recombinant plasmid in streptococcus strain 144 results in the 1.8 fold increase in beta-galactosidase production.
