Both enantiomers of lactic acid, l-lactic acid and d-lactic acid, can be produced in a sustainable way by a photosynthetic microbial cell factory and thus from CO2, sunlight, and water. Several properties of polylactic acid (a polyester of polymerized lactic acid) depend on the controlled blend of these two enantiomers. Recently, cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC6803 was genetically m...

Many drugs can cause unexpected muscle disorders, often necessitating the cessation of an effective medication. Inhibition of monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) may potentially lead to perturbation of l-lactic acid homeostasis and muscular toxicity. Previous studies have shown that statins and loratadine have the potential to inhibit l-lactic acid efflux by MCTs (MCT1 and 4). The main objectiv...

In this study, a novel amine ionic liquid “Diethanolamine Lactic” [DEA][Lac] was synthesized. The replacement of halogenated ion fluid was used as a modified methodology for the preparation of diethanolamine based on lactic acid. The ionic liquid was characterized using the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The changes in bands' wav...

Type B lactic acidosis is a rare condition in patients with solid tumors or hematological malignancies. Although there have been several theories to explain its mechanism, the exact cause of lactic acidosis remains to be discovered. Lactic acidosis is usually related to increased tumor burden in patients with malignancy. We experienced a case of lactic acidosis in a 39-year-old man who visited ...

Lactic acidosis is commonly observed in clinical situations such as shock and sepsis, as a result of tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxia. Lymphoma and leukemia are among other clinical situations where lactic acidosis has been reported. We present a case of a 59-year-old female with lactic acidosis who was found to have aggressive B-cell lymphoma. There have been 29 cases of lymphoma induced lacti...

Lactic acid is widely used in the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries and has received increased attention for use as a monomer for the production of biodegradable poly(lactic acid). It can be produced by either biotechnological fermentation or chemical synthesis, but the former route has received considerable interest recently, due to environmental concerns and the limited ...

An automatic reaction rate method is described for the determination of lactic acid in blood. The L ( + ) -lactic acid is selectively oxidized in the presence of lactic dehydrogenaseand diphosphopyridinenucleotide to form an absorbing species. The time required for the formation of a fixed amount of DANH is measuredautomatically and related directly to the lactic acid concentration. The method ...

in this study, lactic acid production by repeated batch fermentation using cell entrapped methods was compared. barium alginate beads, agar gel and polyurethane foam cubes were employed as carriers to immobilize lactobacillus casei subsp. casei for the purpose of l (+)-lactic acid production. increasing concentrations of lactic acid during fermentation were better tolerated by barium alginate e...

simple and corresponding impacts of adding acidic improvers (lactic acid , acetic acid and citric acid ) on bread staling has been researched twice in 3 levels( 0%, 0.25 % and 0.5 %) by factorial experimental method .there was an orthogonal comparison between the two treatments (acidified treatments and sourdough groups) in the second stage. the effect of lactic acid on bread staling was signif...

Antisera were prepared against pure nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent d-lactic dehydrogenases of Lactobacillus leichmannii, L. jensenii, and L. fermenti. When tested against these three antisera, crude extracts of almost all species of Lactobacillus containing a d-lactic dehydrogenase give cross-reactions. Extensive pairwise comparisons between cross-reacting crude extracts by double ...
