Abstract:
The review focusses on the use of genetic techniques to manipulate bacteria that are important to the dairy industry. Both classical and molecular approaches have been used to improve strains involved in yoghurt and cheese production. Examples are provided of methods for; increasing efficiency of substrate conversion, regulating the production of flavour enhancing metabolites, and developing starter cultures resistant to bacteriophage and bacteriocin attack. The possible applications of these systems are discussed.

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
