Production of the flavor compound benzaldehyde by lactic acid bacteria: role of manganese and its transport systems in Lactobacillus plantarum
One of the aims of the research described in this thesis (Chapter 1 and 2) was to investigate the conversion of phenylalanine to the aromatic flavor compound benzaldehyde in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) (Chapter 3). Lactobacillus plantarum was used as the model organism to study phenylalanine degradation in LAB. This bacterium was selected in an initial screening for phenylalanine degradation since it produced higher levels of benzaldehyde than other LAB (Chapter 4). In addition, the availability of genetic tools for this bacterium was an advantage for the second aim of this thesis: the identification and characterization of Mn 2+transport systems in L. plantarum (described in Chapter 5 and 6).
