Abstract
The citrate permease determinant (citP) in several Leuconostoc strains was demonstrated to be plasmid encoded by curing experiments and hybr idization studies with a DNA fragment containing the citP gene from La ctococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis NCDO176. Cloning a nd nucleotide sequence analysis of Leuconostoc lactis NZ6070 citP reve aled almost complete identity to lactococcal citP.
