A device used in the synthesis of lactic acid

L-Lactic acid, one of the most important chiral molecules and organic acids, is produced via pyruvate from carbohydrates in diverse microorganisms catalyzed by an NAD-dependent L-lactate dehydrogenase. The LdhA gene is used in the synthesis of lactic acid. This gene encodes an L-lactate dehydrogenase (L-LDH) which converts pyruvate to L-lactate.

To verified the LdhA gene, we constructed our gene into pET28a (Fig.1), and induced its over-expression by IPTG (Isopropyl β-D-1-Thiogalactopyranoside) under 16 ℃ in BL21(DE)3.
