Production of α-acetolactate from lactose via pyruvate. Lactose is fermented using FS1080 in RWP and pyruvate is obtained (Phase I). After 48 h FS1080 was removed from the broth and RD06 was applied for converting pyruvate into α-acetolactate (Phase II). The concentrations of Lactose (squares), pyruvate (triangles), α-acetolactate (diamonds) and acetoin (inverted triangle) are shown (mM). Lactate and acetate were observed at different levels after phase I (68 ± 4 mM and 31 ± 4 mM, respectively), but they remained constant during phase II and are therefore not shown
