Pathway Edits

ScLDHA L-lactate dehydrogenase A heterologous expression from Lactobacillus helveticus for de-novo lactic acid production in yeast fermentation
ScPDC1 pyruvate decarboxylase partial suppression (40%) to redirect pyruvate from ethanol pathway toward lactate via introduced LDHA
ScPGK1 phosphoglycerate kinase upregulation for enhanced glycolytic flux increasing pyruvate substrate supply to LDHA
ScJEN1 lactate transporter overexpression for lactic acid export and re-import cycling optimizing extracellular lactic acid for food matrix delivery

Key Interventions

Lactic acid umami potentiation via LDHA introduction and PDC suppression for yeast-derived lactic acid as mGluR1 potentiating organic acidPyruvate-to-lactate flux engineering targeting organic acid-mediated umami persistence in fermented food matricesGlycolytic flux amplification via PGK1 upregulation for sustained lactic acid production throughout yeast fermentation
