Abstract excerpt
Mannitol metabolism in Lactococcus lactis MG1363 and in a derivative strain deficient in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH(d)) was characterized. Both strains had the ability to grow on mannitol as an energy source, although this polyol was a poorer substrate for growth than glucose. When compared to glucose, the metabolism of mannitol caused an NADH burden due to formation of an additional NADH molecule at the reaction...
