Abstract
Novel food-grade cloning vectors comprising a nonsense mutation suppressor-encoding gene, which vector, when it is present in a lactic acid bacterial strain, permits such a strain to have an industrially appropriate growth rate and metabolic activity. The cloning vectors are useful when present in lactic acid bacteria used as starter cultures in the preparation of food or feed products, or a dairy flavor.
