The alpha-acetolactate decarboxylase gene aldB is clustered with the genes for the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) in Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis. It can be transcribed with BCAA genes under isoleucine regulation or independently of BCAA synthesis under the control of

Diacetyl causes an unwanted buttery off-flavor in lager beer. It is spontaneously generated from α-acetolactate, an intermediate of yeast's valine biosynthesis released during the main beer fermentation. Green lager beer has to undergo a maturation process lasting two to three

Diacetyl is an important food flavor compound produced by certain strains of citrate-metabolizing lactic acid bacteria. Citrate is converted to pyruvate, from which diacetyl is produced via intermediate alpha-acetolactate. This paper reports the cloning and analysis of the gene (aldB)

Yeast pyruvate decarboxylase (YPDC), in addition to forming its metabolic product acetaldehyde, can also carry out carboligase reactions in which the central enamine intermediate reacts with acetaldehyde or pyruvate (instead of the usual proton electrophile), resulting in the formation of

Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis strains are utilized in several industrial processes for producing the flavoring compound diacetyl or its precursor alpha-acetolactate. Using random mutagenesis with nitrosoguanidine, we selected mutants that were deficient in alpha-acetolactate decarboxylase and had low
