Popis: The metabolic pathways alternative to glycolytic energy (ATP) during growth of starter and nonstarter lactic acid bacteria were studied simulating the depletion of carbohydrates during cheese ripening. D-stat cultivation strategy with the gradual decrease of galactose concentration in tryptone-arginine feeding medium was used. With the decrease of galactose feeding, the biomass yield calculated on carbohydrate consumption (YX/HEX) and acetate/lactate production ratio of all strains increased. We assume that ATP and biomass yields improved by directing the pyruvate flow from lactate to acetate and that metabolic energy could be obtained either by producing acetate from carbohydrates or from arginine metabolism in ADI-positive strains. Four LAB strains out of eight produced ornithine from arginine indicating active arginine-deiminase (ADI) pathway. These ADI-positive strains achieved 3–10 times higher YX/HEX than ADI-negative strains in tryptone-arginine medium. Lactobacillus plantarum also used serine as a...
