Abstract: | The effects of citrate on diacetyl and acetoin level by fully grown cells ofStreptococcus lactis subsp.diacetylactis CNRZ 124 were studied. In the absence of citrate, diacetyl synthase as well as acetolactate synthase and acetoin and diacetyl reductases exhibited a basal activity confirming their constitutive nature. However, when initial citrate concentration ranged from 8.8 to 59 mM, the enzyme levels increased in the same way, indicating no saturation rate of citrate metabolism. These results were reflected by a similar enhancement in acetoin and diacetyl production. When citrate was added in fed-batch conditions, its utilization by the fully grown cells led to a twofold increase in diacetyl yield over batch conditions. |
