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℃, production rate and total amount produced increased with increasing incubation temperature. Reuterin production terminated earlier at 42℃ than at 32 and 37℃. Presence of various amino acids in th reaction mixture generally decreased reuterin production, wheres proline did not inhibit reuterin production.
