Abstract

The ldhL gene encoding the $_L$-(+) lactate dehydrogenase was cloned from Lactobacillus reuteri ATCC 55739 chromosomal DNA and characterized. An internal 750-bp fiagment of ldhL gene was amplified by PCR using primers based on the conserved region of lactobacilli ldhL genes. A genomic library off. reuteri ATCC 55739 was constructed using pBR322, and colony hybridization experiments were performed using the 750-bp fragment as aprobe. One clone harboring a 4.0-kb PstI fragment was identified, and nucleotide sequencing confirmed it as an open reading frame of 972 bp in size in the middle. In addition to IdhL gene, an ORF homologous to Streptococcus pneumoniae TIGR4 hydrolase gene and 3' part of phosphomevalonate kinase gene (mvaK2) were also found on the 4 kb fragment. $_L$-LDH of L. reuteri ATCC 55739 showed the highest degree of homology with the $_L$-LDH of Pediococcus acidilactici (62.4%), fullowed by the $_L$-LDH of Lactobacillus pentosus (58.7%). The size of IdhL transcript determined by Northern blot was 1 kb, indicating the monocistronic nature of IdhL.
