title: Production of lactic acid from cellobiose and cellotriose by Lactobacillus delbrueckii mutant Uc-3.
abstract: Lactobacillus delbrueckii mutant Uc-3 utilizes both cellobiose and cellotriose efficiently, converting it into L(+) lactic acid. The enzyme activities of cellobiose and cellotriose utilization were determined for cell extracts, whole cells, and disrupted cells. Aryl-beta-glucosidase activity was detected only for whole cells and disrupted cells, suggesting that these activities are cell bound. The mutant produced 90 g/liter of lactic acid from 100 g/liter of cellobiose with 2.25 g/liter/h productivity.
