Abstract
In Leuconostoc oenos, a malolactic bacterium, the synthesis of a stres s protein called LO18 with an apparent molecular mass of 18 kDa was gr eatly induced after heat (42 degrees C), acid (pH 3) or ethanolic (12% (v/v)) shocks. Moreover, the LO18 protein synthesis was induced in st ationary growth phase and was detected for a long time (30 h) during t his growth phase. Significant identity was found between the N-termina l parts of the LO18 protein and the Hsp18 from Clostridium acetobutyli cum suggesting that LO18 protein belongs to the family of small heat s hock proteins conserved in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
