Metabolism of lactate and sugars by dairy propionibacteria: A review

Abstract: -Dairy propionibacteria are important organisms for the manufacture of Swiss-type cheese, for the biological production of propionate and vitamin 8 12 and have probiotic properties. In ail the se applications, their metabolic activities play a critical role. A complete understanding of propionate fermentation and of the metabolic routes used is therefore necessary. Dairy propionibacteria have a complex metabolism and involves several cycles. Lactate or sugars utilisation yields pyruvate which can be reduced to… Show more

“…The lack of survival and persistence of Propionibacterium strains in the rumen observed previously (Vyas et al 2014a) was attributed to absence of ruminal lactate, a preferred substrate for the growth of Propionibacterium spp. Although ruminal lactate was not detectable in the present study, better persistence of Propionibacterium T159 could have been due to utilisation of alternative substrates including glucose as well as amino acids to produce propionate and acetate (Piveteau 1999). The presence of metabolically active Propionibacterium T159 might have accounted for the reduced molar proportion of ruminal acetate; however, lack of significant effect on total CH 4 emissions might be attributed to the inefficacy of Propionibacterium T159 to increase ruminal propionate.…”

“…Propionibacteria are heterotrophic microorganisms that mean they need an organic carbon source to grow and posses a fermentative metabolism [41][42][43]. They degrade carbohydrates like glucose, galactose, lactose, fructose and other sugars; poliols like glycerol; erythritol and others; and organic acids such as lactic and gluconic acids producing propionic, acetic and CO2 as the main fermentation end-products [1].…”

“…All the reactions of this cycle are reversible. It must be emphasized that the Wood Werkman cycle used by propionibacteria to produce propionate is coupled to oxidative phosphorylation and yields more ATP than in the other bacteria producing propionic acid [42,43].…”

“…Propionibacterium strains used in the present study were hypothesized to reduce CH 4 emissions by promoting propionate synthesis in the rumen. Among various substrates, Propionibacterium strains use lactate as the preferred carbon source for propionate synthesis (Piveteau, 1999). Theoretically, two moles of propionate, 1 M of acetate, and 1 M of carbon dioxide can be produced from 3 M of lactate (Piveteau, 1999).…”
