2. Energy & redox fluxes in Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 on different sugars
University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/BioteknikAbstract : Under anaerobic condition the specific growth rate of Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 on different sugars, was analyzed using spectrophotometry. Electron acceptor (fructose) supported cells to cope with poor energy recovery by re-oxidising the NADH, thus enabling ATP formation thru acetate production, while fermenting glucose via the phosphoketolase pathway (PKP) and simultaneously operating via Embden-Meyerhof pathway (EMP).
