Production of Lactic Acid from Cellobiose and Cellotriose by Lactobacillus delbrueckii Mutant Uc-3

ABSTRACT Lactobacillus delbrueckii mutant Uc-3 utilizes both cellobiose and cellotriose efficiently, converting it into L(+) lactic acid. The enzyme activities of cellobiose and cellotriose utilization were determined for cell extracts, whole cells, and disrupted cells. Aryl-β-glucosidase activity was detected only for whole cells and disrupted cells, suggesting that these activities are cell bound. The mutant produced 90 g/liter of lactic acid from 100 g/liter of cellobiose with 2.25 g/liter/h productivity.
