Claims20
A method for improving acid tolerance of a lactic acid bacterium, comprising a step of artificially inhibiting a function of a kup gene of the lactic acid bacterium.
A method for producing a lactic acid bacterium with improved acid tolerance, comprising a step of artificially inhibiting a function of a kup gene of a lactic acid bacterium.
A lactic acid bacterium in which a function of a gene is inhibited.
A method for screening a highly acid-tolerant lactic acid bacterium, comprising a selection step of selecting a lactic acid bacterium using inhibition of a function of a kup gene as an indicator.
