TLDR
During batch growth of Lactococcus lactis subsp.Abstract:
During batch growth of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis NCDO 2118 on various sugars, the shift from homolactic to mixed-acid metabolism was directly dependent on the sugar consumption rate. This orientation of pyruvate metabolism was related to the flux-controlling activity of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase under conditions of high glycolytic flux on glucose due to the NADH/NAD+ ratio. The flux limitation at the level of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase led to an increase in the pool concentrations of both glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone-phosphate and inhibition of pyruvate formate lyase activity. Under such conditions, metabolism was homolactic. Lactose and to a lesser extent galactose supported less rapid growth, with a diminished flux through glycolysis, and a lower NADH/NAD+ ratio. Under such conditions, the major pathway bottleneck was most probably at the level of sugar transport rather than glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Consequently, the pool concentrations of phosphorylated glycolytic intermediates upstream of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase decreased. However, the intracellular concentration of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate remained sufficiently high to ensure full activation of lactate dehydrogenase and had no in vivo role in controlling pyruvate metabolism, contrary to the generally accepted opinion. Regulation of pyruvate formate lyase activity by triose phosphates was relaxed, and mixed-acid fermentation occurred (no significant production of lactate on lactose) due mostly to the strong inhibition of lactate dehydrogenase by the in vivo NADH/NAD+ ratio.read more

TL;DR: Lactic streptococci, classically regarded as homolactic fermenters of glucose and lactose, became heterolactic when grown with limiting carbohydrate concentrations in a chemostat, indicating that fine control of enzyme activity is an important factor in the fermentation change.

TL;DR: All of the lactic streptococci examined except Streptococcus lactis ML8 fermented galactose to lactate, formate, acetate, and ethanol, and reduced intracellular levels of both the lactate dehydrogenase activator and pyruvate-formate lyase inhibitors appeared to be the main factors involved in the diversion of lactate to the other products.
