Growth of L. lactis MG1363 and MGbcaP in the presence of different amino acids and dipeptides. (A) Growth of L. lactis MG1363 and MGbcaP in CDM supplemented with amino acids P/A/H (closed and open circles, respectively) or I/L/V (closed and open triangles, respectively). (B) Growth of L. lactis MG1363 and MGbcaP in CDM supplemented with dipeptides PG/AH (closed and open circles, respectively) or LI/PV (closed and open triangles, respectively). Cells were grown at 30°C, and the optical density of the culture at 595 nm was measured every 30 min. Shown are the means of at least two independent experiments.
