Short description of contents:

In this note the genetic characterization of the peptide degrading system of Propionibacterium freudenreichii was addressed. Genomic fragments of P. freudenreichii subsp. freudenreichii LMG 16415 were cloned in Escherichia coli XL1 Blue, and those leading to an increase in peptidase-like activity using chromogenic substrates aminoacyl-β-naphtylamides (aminoacyl-βNA) were isolated and sequenced. This strategy allowed the identification of partial gene regions of P. freudenreichii LMG 16415 with significant similarity to proteins directly or indirectly involved in peptide and amino acid metabolism, i.e., an oligopeptide transporter, a D-amino acid oxidase, a muropeptidase, and an ABC transporter involved in osmoregulation similar to glycine betaine transporters.
