Figure 1: Effect of pH culture on L.plantarum growth. Culture conditions: MRS medium supplemented<br />

with grape seed oil (a) or corn oil (b). 2.67 mL / L; 37ºC; pH: 6.5 (), 5.5 ()<br />

As it is possible to observe, <strong>in</strong> both cases (corn and grape seed oil supplementation)<br />

Lactobacillus plantarum is able to adapt to different pHs.<br />

Regard<strong>in</strong>g the effect of pH on fatty acid profile, vaccenic and CLA fatty acids were observed<br />

only <strong>in</strong>side the microorganism. If grape seed oil was <strong>in</strong>corporated, a similar CLA content was<br />

observed when pH 5.5 or 6.5 were used, obta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g about 20% of this fatty acid. In the case of<br />

LA a higher content is reported <strong>in</strong> depleted culture media. It is important to mentioned that LA<br />

hydrogenation by microorganism enzymatic system have as f<strong>in</strong>al product stearic acid pass<strong>in</strong>g<br />

through vaccenic acid generation; also, some rum<strong>in</strong>al microorganism are able to produce CLA<br />

from oleic and vaccenic acids by 9-desaturase enzyme [1]. Due to this fact, these results<br />

suggest a mechanism active by oil richest presence and satisfactory growth pH.<br />

When compar<strong>in</strong>g corn and grape seed oil, the last one is the best accord<strong>in</strong>g L. plantarum<br />

growth and <strong>in</strong>tracellular CLA concentration.<br />

CONCLUSION<br />

pH dur<strong>in</strong>g the culture of Lactobacillus plantarum bacteria can affect the growth rate and the<br />

fatty acid profile. These effects depend markedly on the culture medium used.<br />
