Abstract: | Recombinant vector pJLECit (8,232 bp) was constructed using citrate permease gene contained in the 3,919-bp fragment of plasmid
pCM1 (8,280 bp) isolated from Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis NIAI N-7, repA and ori from pLU1, and pMB1 ori and the erythromycin resistance gene from pJIR418. Lactobacillus casei L-49-4 (plasmid-free mutant of strain L-49) harboring the constructed pJLECit converted citrate into diacetyl/acetoin. Citrate
uptake rate of resting cells was the highest at pH 5.5 and 10 mM citrate concentration. Diacetyl formation activity by the
cell-free extracts of Lb. casei L-49-4 (pJLECit) grown in de Man–Rogosa–Sharpe (MRS) broth was higher than that of cells grown in MRS broth without citrate.
On the other hand, diacetyl reductase activity of cells grown in MRS broth was lower than that of cells grown in MRS broth
without citrate. |
