چکیده

CitrLactococcus lactis subsp. lactis 3022 produced more biomass and converted most of the glucose substrate to diacetyl and acetoin when grown aerobically with hemin and Cu. The activity of diacetyl synthase was greatly stimulated by the addition of hemin or Cu, and the activity of NAD-dependent diacetyl reductase was very high. Hemin did not affect the activities of NADH oxidase and lactate dehydrogenase. These results indicated that the pyruvate formed via glycolysis would be rapidly converted to diacetyl and that the diacetyl would then be converted to acetoin by the NAD-dependent diacetyl reductase to reoxidize NADH when the cells were grown aerobically with hemin or Cu. On the other hand, the Y(Glu) value for the hemincontaining culture was lower than for the culture without hemin, because acetate production was repressed when an excess of glucose was present. However, in the presence of lipoic acid, an essential cofactor of the dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase part of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, hemin or Cu enhanced acetate production and then repressed diacetyl and acetoin production. The activity of diacetyl synthase was lowered by the addition of lipoic acid. These results indicate that hemin or Cu stimulates acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) formation from pyruvate and that lipoic acid inhibits the condensation of acetyl-CoA with hydroxyethylthiamine PP(i). In addition, it appears that acetyl-CoA not used for diacetyl synthesis is converted to acetate.

Citrate, low pH and amino acid limitation induce citrate utilization in Lactococcus lactis biovar diacetylactis

In Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis, citrate transport is facilitated by the plasmid-encoded citrate permease (CitP). In this work, we analysed regulation of citrate utilization by pH, nutrient limitation and the presence of citrate at four different levels: (i) plasmid copy number, (ii) citP transcription, (iii) citP mRNA processing and (iv) citrate utilization capacity. C...

Citrate Fermentation by Lactococcus and Leuconostoc spp.

Citrate and lactose fermentation are subject to the same metabolic regulation. In both processes, pyruvate is the key intermediate. Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis homofermentatively converted pyruvate to lactate at high dilution (growth) rates, low pH, and high lactose concentrations. Mixed-acid fermentation with formate, ethanol, and acetate as products was observed unde...

Metabolic flux in glucose/citrate co-fermentation by lactic acid bacteria as measured by isotopic ratio analysis.

The flux of carbon into lactic acid, diacetyl and acetoin during the co-metabolism of glucose and citrate by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis has been determined using natural abundance isotopic ratio analysis. During fermentation in the conditions used (glucose, 27.8 mM; citric acid, 13.9 mM; initial pH 6.2-6.4, anaerobic) it is shown that approximately 65% of the carbon ...

Properties of 2,3-Butanediol Dehydrogenases from Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis in Relation to Citrate Fermentation.

Two 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenases (enzymes 1 and 2; molecular weight of each, 170,000) have been partially purified from Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis (Streptococcus diacetylactis) D10 and shown to have reductase activity with either diacetyl or acetoin as the substrate. However, the reductase activity with 10 mM diacetyl was far greater for both enzymes (7.0- and 4.7-fold for enzymes 1 and ...
