Abstract
Reuterin production efficiency of Lactobacillus reuteri, which converts glycerol into reuterin (antimicrobial substance) under anaerobic condition, was examined. When compared at $32,\;37,\;and\;42^{\circ}C$, production rate and total amount produced increased with increasing incubation temperature. Reuterin production terminated earlier at $42^{\circ}C$ than at $32\;and\;37^{\circ}C$. Presence of various amino acids in the reaction mixture generally decreased reuterin production, whereas proline did not inhibit reuterin production. A continuous-type reactor in which glycerol was passed through the chamber containing L. reuteri cells produced greater amount of reuterin than when batch-type process was used.
