Reconstruction and inference of the Lactococcus lactis MG1363 gene co-expression network.

ABSTRACT: Lactic acid bacteria are Gram-positive bacteria used throughout the world in many industrial applications for their acidification, flavor and texture formation attributes. One of the species, Lactococcus lactis, is employed for the production of fermented milk products like cheese, buttermilk and quark. It ferments lactose to lactic acid and, thus, helps improve the shelf life of the products. Many physiological and transcriptome studies have been performed in L. lactis in order to comprehend and improve its biotechnological assets. Using large amounts of transcriptome data to understand and predict the behavior of biological processes in bacterial or other cell types is a complex task. Gene networks enable predicting gene behavior and function in the context of transcriptionally linked pr
