Exploring the contributions of two glutamate decarboxylase isozymes in Lactobacillus brevis to acid resistance and γ-aminobutyric acid production
Abstract Background The glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) system of Lactobacillus brevis involves two isoforms of GAD, GadA and GadB, which catalyze the conversion of L-glutamate to γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in a proton-consuming reaction contributing to intracellular pH homeostasis. However, direct ex...
