Figure Lengend Snippet: Growth medium acidification ( A ) and GABA production ( B ) by Lv. brevis CRL 2013 in CDM or CDMg supplemented with different nitrogen sources. CDMg, chemically defined medium containing monosodium glutamate; CDMYE, CDM without glutamate supplemented with 1% yeast extract; CDMgYE, CDMg supplemented with 1% yeast extract; CDM Casitone 2%, CDM without glutamate supplemented with 2% Casitone; CDMgC0.5, CDMg supplemented with 0.5% Casitone; CDMgC, CDMg supplemented with 1%; CDMgC2, CDMg supplemented with 2% Casitone; CDMgC5, CDMg supplemented with 5% Casitone; CDMgVP, CDMg supplemented with 1% vegetable peptone. The pH profile observed in CDMgC0.5 was similar to those obtained in CDMg supplemented with 1% tryptone and 1% casamino acids, none of which supported detectable GABA production. Data are expressed as means ± SD from at least three independent biological replicates.
Article Snippet: To evaluate the role of nitrogen sources on GABA production, CDM containing 5% ( w / v ) monosodium glutamate (CDMg) as precursor was supplemented with different nitrogen sources ( ); 1% ( w / v ) yeast extract (Difco Laboratories, Sparks, MD, USA, CDMgYE), Casitone (Difco, 0.5, 1, 2, or 5% w / v ; CDMgC0.5, CDMgC, CDMC2 and CDMC5, respectively), Casamino Acids (Difco 1% w / v ; CDMgCA), Tryptone (Difco, 1% w / v ; CDMgT), or vegetable peptone (Difco, 1% w / v ; CDMgVP).
