Association between organic nitrogen substrates and the optical purity of D-lactic acid during the fermentation by Sporolactobacillus terrae SBT-1. Sci Rep 2024; 14:10522. [PMID: 38719898 PMCID: PMC11079031 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-61247-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The development of biotechnological lactic acid production has attracted attention to the potential production of an optically pure isomer of lactic acid, although the relationship between fermentation and the biosynthesis of highly optically pure D-lactic acid remains poorly understood. Sporolactobacillus terrae SBT-1 is an excellent D-lactic acid producer that depends on cultivation conditions. Herein, three enzymes responsible for synthesizing optically pure D-lactic acid, including D-lactate dehydrogenase (D-LDH; encoded by ldhDs), L-lactate dehydrogenase (L-LDH; encoded by ldhLs), and lactate racemase (Lar; encoded by larA), were quantified under different organic nitrogen sources and concentration to study the relationship between fermentation conditions and synthesis pathway of optically pure lactic acid. Different organic nitrogen sources and concentrations significantly affected the quantity and quality of D-lactic acid produced by strain SBT-1 as well as the synthetic optically pure lactic acid pathway. Yeast extract is a preferred organic nitrogen source for achieving high catalytic efficiency of D-lactate dehydrogenase and increasing the transcription level of ldhA2, indicating that this enzyme plays a major role in D-lactic acid formation in S. terrae SBT-1. Furthermore, lactate racemization activity could be regulated by the presence of D-lactic acid. The results of this study suggest that specific nutrient requirements are necessary to achieve a stable and highly productive fermentation process for the D-lactic acid of an individual strain.

Microb Biotechnol 2022; 15:2717-2729. [PMID: 35921426 PMCID: PMC9618312 DOI: 10.1111/1751-7915.14125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
PLA (3‐D‐phenyllactic acid) is an ideal antimicrobial and immune regulatory compound present in honey and fermented foods. Sporolactobacillus inulinus is regarded as a potent D‐PLA producer that reduces phenylpyruvate (PPA) with D‐lactate dehydrogenases. In this study, PLA was produced by whole‐cell bioconversion of S. inulinus ATCC 15538. Three genes encoding D‐lactate dehydrogenase (d‐ldh1, d‐ldh2, and d‐ldh3) were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), and their biochemical and structural properties were characterized. Consequently, a high concentration of pure D‐PLA (47 mM) was produced with a high conversion yield of 88%. Among the three enzymes, D‐LDH1 was responsible for the efficient conversion of PPA to PLA with kinetic parameters of Km (0.36 mM), kcat (481.10 s−1), and kcat/Km (1336.39 mM−1 s−1). In silico structural analysis and site‐directed mutagenesis revealed that the Ile307 in D‐LDH1 is a key residue for excellent PPA reduction with low steric hindrance at the substrate entrance. This study highlights that S. inulinus ATCC 15538 is an excellent PLA producer, equipped with a highly specific and efficient D‐LDH1 enzyme.

Relative catalytic efficiencies and transcript levels of three d- and two l-lactate dehydrogenases for optically pure d-lactate production in Sporolactobacillus inulinus. Microbiologyopen 2018; 8:e00704. [PMID: 30066438 PMCID: PMC6528580 DOI: 10.1002/mbo3.704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2018] [Revised: 07/02/2018] [Accepted: 07/03/2018] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
As the optical purity of the lactate monomer is pivotal for polymerization, the production of optically pure d‐lactate is of significant importance. Sporolactobacillus inulinus YBS1‐5 is a superior optically pure d‐lactate‐producing bacterium. However, little is known about the relationship between lactate dehydrogenases in S. inulinus YBS1‐5 and the optical purity of d‐lactate. Three potential d‐lactate dehydrogenase (D‐LDH1‐3)‐ and two putative l‐lactate dehydrogenase (L‐LDH1‐2)‐encoding genes were cloned from the YBS1‐5 strain and expressed in Escherichia coli D‐LDH1 exhibited the highest catalytic efficiency toward pyruvate, whereas two L‐LDHs showed low catalytic efficiency. Different neutralizers significantly affected the optical purity of d‐lactate produced by strain YBS1‐5 as well as the transcription levels of ldhDs and ldhLs. The high catalytic efficiency of D‐LDH1 and elevated ldhD1 mRNA levels suggest that this enzyme is essential for d‐lactate synthesis in S. inulinus YBS1‐5. The correlation between the optical purity of d‐lactate and transcription levels of ldhL1 in the case of different neutralizers indicate that ldhL1 is a key factor affecting the optical purity of d‐lactate in S. inulinus YBS1‐5.
