Neisseria gonorrhoeae possesses two nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-independent lactate dehydrogenases.

FEMS microbiology letters - 1 Jan 1994

Fischer R S, Martin G C, Rao P, Jensen R A

Abstract excerpt

An important metabolic capability of Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the utilization of host-derived lactate. Two isoenzymes of the membrane-associated, pyridine dinucleotide-independent type of lactate dehydrogenase (iLDH) participate in lactate assimilation, but exhibit distinctive properties. Isoenzyme iLDH-I utilized lactate exclusively as substrate, exhibiting a preference for the D-isomer. In contrast, isoenzyme...
