YebC, a putative transcriptional factor involved in the regulation of the proteolytic system of Lactobacillus

Abstract The proteolytic system of Lactobacillus plays an essential role in bacterial growth, contributes to the flavor development of fermented products, and can release bioactive health-beneficial peptides during milk fermentation. In this work, a genomic analysis of all genes involved in the prot...
