Identification of a species-specific aminotransferase in Pediococcus acidilactici capable of forming α-aminobutyrate

Abstract During cheese ripening, the bacterial strain Pediococcus acidilactici FAM18098 produces the non-proteinogenic amino acid, α-aminobutyrate (AABA). The metabolic processes that lead to the biosynthesis of this compound are unknown. In this study, 10 P. acidilactici, including FAM18098 and nin...
