Mevalonate Metabolism in Supernatant Fractions of Lysates of Lactobacillus plantarum

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The supernatant fractions of lysates of Lactobacillus plantarum metabolize mevalonate into lipids. Adenosine triphosphate and uridine, as well as related compounds, and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate or reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide stimulate this process. To obtain very active supernatant fractions, the method of lysis is modified to include polyamines during lysozyme treatment of cells and subsequent shocking with citrate buffer.
