Lactic acid production. (a) The amino acid sequences of the d-lactate dehydrogenase genes of strains VMC1, 2 and 4–8 were identical. There was a single amino acid substitution in strain VMC3, at position 331. (b) The amino acid sequences of the l-lactate dehydrogenase genes of strains VMC1, 2 and 4–8 were identical. Amino acids conserved amongst members of the LDH Conserved Protein Domain Family (NCBI) are shaded in grey. There were six amino acid substitutions in strain VMC3, at positions 224, 249, 264, 286, 294 and 296. (c) Lactic acid produced during culture in CDM resembling vaginal secretions.
