Effect of temperature on diacetyl and acetoin production byLactococcus lactissubsp.lactisbiovardiacetilactisCNRZ 483

Abstract: SUMMARYWe have investigated the effect of culture temperature on the growth ofLactococcus lactissubsp.lactisbiovardiacetilactis, on its acidifying power, on diacetyl and acetoin production, and also on the activities of the principal enzymes involved in the synthesis of these two compounds. The rates of growth and lactic acid production decreased by a factor of ∼ 2 when the temperature decreased from 30 to 18°C. At 18°C, the maximal concentration of diacetyl (0·3mM) was 1·7 times that at 30°C, while that of ac… Show more

“…Compounds of the acetoin pathway were more abundant on lactose, a slowly catabolized sugar in this strain lacking the PTS lac and tagatose pathway (13), than on glucose, irrespective of the strain. Moreover, this metabolic pathway was strongly stimulated by aerobiosis (Table 2) (3,10).…”

“…L. lactis is an aerotolerant lactic acid bacterium that contains NADH oxidases (encoded by the noxC, noxD, noxE genes [8]) that protect the cell during aerobic growth (11). NOX enzymes catalyze oxidation of NADH to NAD ϩ by molecular oxygen and are induced under aerobic conditions (7,23,38). The combination of PDH and NOX enzymes could account for the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA under the conditions of the experiment.…”

“…Acetoin and diacetyl were also found to be produced in different concentrations. These two metabolites are produced in small concentrations during the citrate metabolism and they are very important flavoring components in the fermented products (Bassit et al 1993). …”
