Improvement of Lactobacillus plantarum aerobic growth as directed by comprehensive transcriptome analysis.

ABSTRACT: An aerobic Lactobacillus plantarum culture displayed growth stagnation during early growth. Transcriptome analysis revealed that resumption of growth after stagnation correlated with activation of CO(2)-producing pathways, suggesting that a limiting CO(2) concentration induced the stagnation. Analogously, increasing the CO(2) gas partial pressure during aerobic fermentation prevented the temporal growth stagnation.
