Abstract in Portuguese
No presente trabalho procurou-se avaliar os tipos de metabolismo existentes em espécies e linhagens de Latobacillus isoladas de ambiente de fermentação alcoólica industrial. Para tal, 17, linhagens foram crescidas por 24 horas a 32 ºC, em meio de glicose e frutose (1% de cada açúcar) suplementado com extrato de levedura, minerais e tampão. O crescimento bacteriano foi estimado por plaqueamento e abosrbância a 600 nm, enquanto que no meio de crescimento foram estimados, mediante cromatografia de alta eficiência, os teores de ácido lático, ácido acético e etanol. Os isômeros óticos D(-)- e L(+)-lactato foram dosados enzimaticamente mediante espectrofotometria a 340nm, empregando-se desidrogenases estereoespcíficas. Os resultados mostraram que entre as 17 linhagens de Latobacillus avaliadas foram observados os três tipos de metabolismo : homofermentativo obrigatório (8 linhagens), heterofermentativo facultativo (1 linhagem) e heterofermentativo obrigatório (8 linhagens). Observou-se também uma relação estequiométrica dos produtos formados (lactato, acetato e etanol), condizente com os passos metabólicos característicos de cada grupo. Os resultados também permitem deduzir que quanto à formação dos isômeros óticos, houve predominância das linhagens tipo DL (produção simultânea dos dois isômeros), sobre as linhagens D e L. No entanto foram encontradas linhagens produzindo 100% de um dado isômero (D e L), descortinando a possibilidade de que linhagens isoladas de processo industrial de produção de etanol, possam atender demandas biotecnológicas que requeiram proporções definidas dos isômeros. Foi possível deduzir que a utilização dos teores de ácido lático na avaliação da contaminação bacteriana deve ser considerada com ressalvas, especialmente no caso do emprego do ácido L(+)-lático, e notadamente no caso de comunidades bacterianas complexas.

Abstract in English
The aim of the present work was to evaluate the metabolism type of 17 Lactobacilli strains isolated from industrial ethanol fermentation plants. The strains were grown, at 32°C for 24 hours, on a mixture of equal amounts of glucose and fructose as the carbon source, and supplemented with yeast extract, mineral nutrients and buffer. Bacterial growth was estimated either by absorbance at 600nm and by plating. The main end products of bacterial metabolism (lactate, acetate and ethanol) were measured by high performance liquid chromatography, while the stereoisomers, D(-)- and L(+)-lactate were assayed by an enzymatic methodology using stereospecific lactatedehydrogenases. According to the results, all the three types of metabolism were found among the bacteria investigated: obligately homofermentative (8 strains), facultative heterofermentative (1 strain) and obligately heterofermentative (8 strains). Additionally, it was observed a stoichiometric relationship between the major end products (lactate, acetate and ethanol) in agreement with the metabolic pathway proposed for the different bacterial types (homo- and heterofermentative strains). The results have showed a predominance of strains of DL type, regarding the stereoisomers production. However, it was found strains producing a single type of the isomeric form. These findings suggest the possibility to explore the Lactobacilli biodiversity in fuel ethanol fermentation plants for lactate production of chemically pure optical isomers. It was also observed that the use of lactate content for a chemical evaluation of bacterial contamination may be considered with some restrictions, mainly in the case of L(+)-lactate, and particularly in the case of complex bacterial communities.
