  • Title: Metabolic flux in glucose/citrate co-fermentation by lactic acid bacteria as measured by isotopic ratio analysis.
    Author: Goupry S, Croguennec T, Gentil E, Robins RJ.
    Journal: FEMS Microbiol Lett; 2000 Jan 15; 182(2):207-11. PubMed ID: 10620667.
    Abstract:
    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 source used for the aroma compounds is derived from the carbohydrate. Equally, citrate contributes approximately 30% of the carbon recovered in lactic acid. Thus, there is no evidence for a metabolic separation of the catabolism of these two carbon sources.
