Aims: To identify potential pathways for citrate catabolism by Lactobacillus casei under conditions similar to ripening cheese. Methods and Results: A putative citric acid cycle (PCAC) for Lact. casei was generated utilizing the genome sequence;
and metabolic flux analyses. Although it was possible to construct a unique PCAC for Lact. casei;
its full functionality was unknown. Therefore;
the Lact. casei PCAC was evaluated utilizing end-product analyses of citric acid catabolism during growth in modified chemically defined media (mCDM);
and Cheddar cheese extract (CCE). Results suggest that under energy source excess and limitation in mCDM this micro-organism produces mainly l-lactic acid and acetic acid;
respectively. Both organic acids were produced in CCE. Additional end products include d-lactic acid;
acetoin;
formic acid;
ethanol;
and diacetyl. Production of succinic acid;
malic acid;
and butanendiol was not observed. Conclusions: Under conditions similar to those present in ripening cheese;
citric acid is converted to acetic acid;
l/d-lactic acid;
diacetyl;
and formic acid. The PCAC suggests that conversion of the citric acid-derived pyruvic acid into acetic acid;
instead of lactic acid;
may yield two ATPs per molecule of citric acid. Functionality of the PCAC reductive route was not observed. Significance and Impact of the Study: This research describes a unique PCAC for Lact. casei. Additionally;
it describes the citric acid catabolism end product by this nonstarter lactic acid bacteria during growth;
and under conditions similar to those present in ripening cheese. It provides insights on pathways preferably utilized to derive energy in the presence of limiting carbohydrates by this micro-organism. © 2006 The Authors;
