Abstract: Examines the aspartate biosynthesis with Lactococcus lactis LM0230 aminotransferase. Duplication of aspartate ATase gene (AspC) from L. lactis by complementation into Escherichia coli DL39; Implications of substrate-specificity studies for the ATase activity of lactococcal AspC; Role of a lactococcal ATase in oxaloacetate conversion to Asp.
