Abstract
Lactic acid has a privileged position in the family of carboxylic substances due to its several applications, including the production of biodegradable polymers such as polylactic acid in recent years. Thus, it has been considered one of the top 10 biorefinery chemicals by the United States Department of Energy. Lactic acid can be obtained by chemical synthesis and fermentation. However, only the fermentative process allows the formation of a pure enantiomer, which is crucial in biopolymer production. In this context and considering a possible second-generation production of lactic acid, the aim of the study was to evaluate the enantiomer produced by 4 lactic acid bacteria and their capacity of production in MRS medium containing xylose. There was no observed xylose consumption or catabolite repression. Lactobacillus helveticus produced a racemic mixture of D(–) and L(+) lactic acid and Lactobacillus delbrueckii lactis produced mostly D(–) lactic acid. In comparison, Lactobacillus coryniformis strains presented the most expressive results, with an exclusive production of D(–) lactic acid (optical purity >99%) and high resistance to pH variation, achieving production from 18.5 to 21.0 g/L with yield of 0.95 g/g of glucose. These strains could be indicated for the second-generation D(–) lactic acid production.
