Abstract

Pseudomonas stutzeri SDM oxidized dl-lactic acid (25.5 g l-1) into pyruvic acid (22.6 g l-1) over 24 h. Both NAD+-independent d-lactate dehydrogenase and NAD+-independent l-lactate dehydrogenase were found for the first time in the bioconversion of lactate to pyruvate based on the enzyme activity assay and proteomic analysis.
