Study of the cassava sour starch fermentation has led to the isolation of a new homofermentative amylolytic lactic acid bacterium, Lactobacillus manihotivorans OND32T, whose nutritional requirements have been investigated in this work. The main effect of deleting one of the substrate components of the MRS-starch medium was to reduce the amylase production. When starch fermentation with nitrogen as a gas phase was compared to fermentation under aerobic conditions, both growth and amylase production were reduced whereas lactic acid formation was not affected. Addition of carbon dioxide (greater than or equal to 20% v/v) to the nitrogen gas phase restored growth and amylase production. The amylase production was high with starch, maltose or cellobiose contrary to glucose, fructose and sucrose. During mixed fermentation of glucose and maltose, a diauxic growth was observed. The maltose consumption and the amylase production started after the glucose depletion. The presence of maltose altered the carbon assimilation from glucose, whereas the energetic pathway was not affected. It is concluded that the elimination of soluble sugars by the wet extraction of starch during the processing of cassava, together with the expected in situ CO2 production, are conditions favouring the growth and the amylase synthesis. However, these are likely to be limited by the low nitrogen content in cassava.
