Summary

Four enzymes of citrate metabolism (viz. citrate lyase, acetolactate synthase, diacetyl reductase and acetoin reductase) were constitutively present in cells of several strains of Streptococcus lactis subsp. diacetylactis. In strain DRC1, which was studied in detail, diacetyl reductase and acetoin reductase were partly repressed and acetolactate synthase partly induced by growth on citrate. The stage of growth also affected the formation of each enzyme. The buffer species affected the activity of acetolactate synthase, diacetyl reductase and acetoin reductase.
