L-Lactate producing module from Lactobacillus casei

In homofermentative lactic acid bacteria, lactic acid is one of the major end products of carbohydrate fermentation. The glucose is converted to pyruvate via the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway, and in the final step pyruvate is reduced to two isomeric forms of lactic acid by two distinct NAD-dependent, stereospecific lactate dehydrogenases: L-lactate dehydrogenase (L- LDH) (EC 1.1.1.28) and D-lactate dehydrogenase (D-LDH) (EC 1.1.1.28)[1].

Particularly, L-Lactic acid is one of the most important chiral molecules and organic acids, which can be produced via pyruvate from carbohydrates in diverse microorganisms catalyzed by an NAD+-dependent L-lactate dehydrogenase (ldhA)[2]. Similar metabolic pathway has been found in a variety of organisms, to distinguish the differences, we renamed the heterogenous L-lactate dehydrogenase ldhE while homogenous one keeps original.
