Abstract

DNA sequences covering 36% of the mle gene that encodes the malolactic enzyme were determined for 13 strains of lactic acid bacteria, representing and genera. The sequences were aligned with the corresponding region of mleS in . The phylogenetic distance matrix tree of all mle sequences was compared with the 16S rRNA phylogenetic tree. The analysis showed that the mle fragment evolved more rapidly than the 16S gene and differently. and species were intermixed in the 16S rRNA tree whereas they were in the mle tree. and were distinct from other species in the 16S rRNA tree, whereas they were intermixed with species and in the mle tree. The amino acid sequences deduced from partial mle genes were aligned with 22 malic enzyme sequences and the corresponding phylogenetic tree was . Malic and malolactic enzymes were distinct at the phylogenetic level, except for malic enzymes of yeast and which were nearer the malolactic enzymes than the other malic enzymes. The analysis of conserved sites showed several interesting amino acids specific to either malic enzyme or malolactic enzyme.
