Amino Acid Metabolism in Propionibacteria: Resting Cells Experiments with Four Strains

摘要: Abstract Amino acid catabolism was investigated in resting cell suspensions of four strains Propionibacterium , with an amino mixture as substrate, nitrogen and air atmosphere. Differences among ability to degrade acids were large. The fastest degradation shermanii α. Carbon dioxide, ammonia, propionic acid, acetic produced. Addition lactate the examined for two strains, did not inhibit significantly degradation. Active carbon dioxide production following may be importance formation split defect Swiss-type cheeses.
