Utilization of pyruvate inLactobacillus casei subsp.rhamnosus ATCC 7469

Reconstruction and analysis of the genome-scale metabolic model of Lactobacillus casei LC2W

“…The other four carbon sources were used for the qualitative evaluation of the iJL846 model. Furthermore, the utilization of some other carbon sources, which are known to support other strains of L. casei (Cárdenas et al, 1987;Cerning et al, 1994;Gold et al, 1992;Koh et al, 2013;Landete et al, 2013;Monedero et al, 2007;Rodriguez-Diaz et al, 2012;Viana et al, 2000;Yebra et al, 2007), was evaluated by the iJL846 model under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions (Fig. S2 in Supplementary file 2).…”

Relationship between pyruvate utilization and acetoin production byLactobacillus plantarum:influence of carbon source, pyruvate concentration, and metabolic inhibitors

“…It is actively transported by Ej^ coli in the presence of the energizer ascorbate phenazine-methosulfate (Matin and Konings, 1973). Pyruvate utilization has been used as a first approximation of pyruvate transport in studies of Lactobacillus casei (De Cardenas et al, 1987). We previously reported the high efficiency conversion of exogenous pyruvate to acetoin by L. plantarum during pH-controlled fermentations (Montville et al, 1987b).…”
