The las enzymes control pyruvate metabolism in Lactococcus lactis during growth on maltose
The fermentation pattern of Lactococcus lactis with altered activities of the las enzymes was examined on maltose. The wild type converted 65% of the maltose to mixed acids. An increase in phosphofructokinase or lactate dehydrogenase expression shifted the fermentation towards homolactic fermentation, and with a high level of expression of the las operon the fermentation was homolactic.
