Lactic Acid → Lactic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under these microaerobic conditions, strain 246-27 and strain C29/403-7 consumed xylose at about 0.5 g/L/hr and all produced lactic acid at about 0.4 g/L/hr. Strain C29/403-7/425 produced about 10-15% more lactic acid and about 10-15% less xylitol than strain C29/403-7 under these conditions. Strain C29/403-7 produced more xylulose than the others, suggesting that xylulose accumulates in this strain because of xylose isomerase activity.
