One common organic acid found in honey and meals fermented by lactic acid bacteria is called DL-3-Phenyllactic Acid (PLA). Many different microorganisms, particularly lactic acid bacteria, are capable of producing it. With a wide range of effective antibacterial action against both bacteria and fungi, DL-3-phenyllactic acid has shown to be an excellent antimicrobial chemical. Furthermore, DL-3-phenyllactic acid has the potential to serve as a feed additive in substitution of antibiotics in animal feed [1].
- Antibacterial activity: PLA inhibits Listeria monocytogenes growth in culture medium, milk, and cheese. It reduced bacterial population by 4.5 log in ultra-high-temperature treatment whole milk after 5 days of culture. It also inhibits Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus cereus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli, Providencia stuartii, Klebsiella oxytoca). Higher inhibitory effect is observed at acidic pH. The mechanism is suggested to involve bacterial cell wall damage, as scanning electron microscopy showed damaged or broken cell wall, cell swelling and collapse. D-PLA showed slightly higher anti-Listeria activity than L-PLA. [1] - Antifungal activity: PLA inhibits yeasts (Candida pulcherrima, Candida parapsilosis, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa) and moulds (Aspergillus ochraceus, Penicillium roqueforti, Penicillium citrinu). MIC values for antiyeast activity are 50 to >500 mM at pH 4.0 to 6.0, and MIC against moulds at pH 4.0 is 45 mM. [1] |

| Enzyme Assay |
No detailed enzyme assay protocols are provided. However, the review mentions that lactate dehydrogenases (LDHs) from various strains can convert phenylpyruvic acid (PPA) to PLA. Kinetic parameters for some LDHs are given (see Table 3 and 4). For example, D-LDH from P. pentosaceus ATCC 25745: Km for phenylpyruvate = 1.73 mM, kcat = 173 s⁻¹, kcat/Km = 100 mM⁻¹s⁻¹. D-LDH from P. acidilactici DSM 20284: Km = 2.92 mM, kcat = 305 s⁻¹, kcat/Km = 105 mM⁻¹s⁻¹. Mutant L. pentosus D-LDH (Y52L): Km for phenylpyruvate = 0.067 mM, kcat/Km = not reported. Also D-HicDH from L. casei and D-ManDH from L. curvatus show Km for phenylpyruvate of 0.15 mM. No assay conditions described. [1]

| Additional Infomation |
3-Phenylonic acid is a 2-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid formed by replacing a methyl hydrogen atom in the lactic acid molecule with a phenyl group. It is a human metabolite, functionally related to racemic lactic acid, and is the conjugate acid of 3-phenyllactic acid. It has been reported that DL-3-phenyllactic acid is found in Rosa taiwanensis, rye (Secale cereale), and other organisms with relevant data.
PLA is naturally present in honey (especially thistle, heather, manuka) and in LAB-fermented foods. It is produced from phenylalanine via transamination to phenylpyruvic acid (PPA) and subsequent reduction by dehydrogenases. The metabolic pathway in LAB involves aromatic aminotransferase and α-ketoglutarate. PLA can be produced by various microorganisms including Lactobacillus, Enterococcus, Weissella, Leuconostoc, Propionibacterium, Bacillus coagulans, Geotrichum candidum, and Brevibacterium lactofermentum. High-level bioproduction has been achieved by fermentation with PPA feeding (e.g., Lactobacillus sp. SK007 produced 17.38 g/L PLA; B. coagulans SDM produced 37.3 g/L). Measurement methods include reverse-phase HPLC, GC/MS, capillary electrophoresis, and chiral HPLC for enantiomer separation. Potential applications include feed additives (improving growth performance, immune response, reducing E. coli in pigs and chickens), and pharmaceutical use for coronary disease and skin wrinkles.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
