Effect of biosynthetic intermediates and citrate on the phenyllactic and hydroxyphenyllactic acids production by Lactobacillus plantarum CRL 778

Abstract

This is the first study where the role of Glu and GDH activity in the PLA and OH-PLA synthesis was evidenced in sourdough lactic acid bacteria (LAB) using a CDM. These results contribute to the knowledge on the antifungal compounds production by sourdough LAB with potential applications on the baked goods.
