説明
Abstract Suspensions of human dental plaque, collected with special precautions to protect from exposure to air, metabolized a substantial amount of lactate both under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Under aerobic conditions, acetate was a main product and a little propionate was produced; anaerobic incubation decreased the acetate production and increased the propionate formation. More lactate was metabolized under aerobic conditions than under anaerobic conditions. Veillonella, a strictly anaerobic microorganism, was considered to contribute largely to this aerobic metabolism of lactate because the resting cells of Veillonella also metabolize lactate actively under aerobic conditions. Activity of NAD-independent lactate dehydrogenases was demonstrated in the cell-free extract of Veillonella and was associated with the efficiency of the cells to metabolize lactate.
