Abstract

Lactobacillus strains that accumulated gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in culture medium were screened to determine strains with high GABA-producing ability. One strain, NFRI 7415, which was isolated from a Japanese traditional fermented fish (funa-sushi), showed the highest GABA-producing ability among the screened strains. Identification tests (i.e., 16S rDNA sequencing and sugar assimilation ability) indicated that NFRI 7415 belongs to Lb. paracasei. The GABA production was further improved by the addition of pyridoxal phosphate to the culture medium and pH regulation of culture medium at pH 5.0. Under optimal cultivation conditions, strain NFRI 7415 produced GABA at a concentration of 302 mM when the glutamate concentration in the culture medium was 500 mM.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
