✦ Synopsis

The addition of citrate to glucose broth led to an increase in specific growth rate and glucose catabolism, but a decrease in molar growth yield from glucose, in Leuconostoc rnesenteroides subsp, cremoris. Acetate and formate were produced during the stationary phase.of growth. According to the fermentation balance, part of the acetate and lactate came from the pyruvate of citrate metabolism. L. mesenteroides subsp.

.cremoris incorporated radioactive metabolites from [1,5-14C] citrate into cell material, primarily into lipids.
