Abstract
Folate overproduction can serve as a mode of resistance against the folate antagonist methotrexate in Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1. When compared with a wild-type control strain, an engineered high folate-producing strain was found to be insensitive to methotrexate. The growth rate and the viable count of the folate-overproducing L. plantarum strain were not significantly affected by the presence of methotrexate in the growth medium.Entities:
