Enterococcus faecalis V583 was grown in a glucose-limited chemostat at three different growth rates (0.05, 0.15, and 0.4 h⁻¹). The fermentation pattern changed with growth rate, from a mostly homolactic profile at a high growth rate to a fermentation dominated by formate, acetate, and ethanol production at a low growth rate. A number of amino acids were consumed at the lower growth rates but not by fast-growing cells. The change in metabolic profile was caused mainly by decreased flux through la ...[more]
