Abstract:
In this report, we describe the amino acid metabolism and
amino acid dependency of the dairy bacterium Streptococcus
thermophilus LMG18311 and compare them with those of two other
characterized lactic acid bacteria, Lactococcus lactis and
Lactobacillus plantarum. Through the construction of a
genome-scale metabolic model of S. thermophilus, the metabolic
differences between the three bacteria were visualized by
direct projection on a metabolic map. The comparative analysis
revealed the minimal amino acid auxotrophy (only histidine and
methionine or cysteine) of S. thermophilus LMG18311 and the
broad variety of volatiles produced from amino acids compared
to the other two bacteria. It also revealed the limited number
of pyruvate branches, forcing this strain to use the
homofermentative metabolism for growth optimization. In
addition, some industrially relevant features could be
identified in S. thermophilus, such as the unique pathway for
acetaldehyde (yogurt flavor) production and the absence of a
complete pentose phosphate pathway.
