Lactobacillus bulgaricus is an important starter culture in the dairy industry, cell lysis is negative to the high density of this strain. This work describes the response of peptidoglycan synthases and hydrolases in Lactobacillus bulgaricus sp1.1 when pH decreasing in batch culture. First, the cell lysis was investigated by measuring the cytosolic lactate dehydrogenase released to the fermentation broth, a continuous increase in extracellular lactate dehydrogenase was observed after the lag phase in batch culture. Then, the peptidoglycan hydrolases profile analyzed using the zymogram method showed that eight proteins have the ability of peptidoglycan hydrolysis, three of the eight proteins were considered to contribute lysis of L. bulgaricus sp1.1 according to the changes and extents of peptidoglycan hydrolysis. In silico analysis showed that three putative peptidoglycan hydrolases, including N-acetylmuramyl-l-Ala amidase (protein ID: ALT46642.1), amidase (protein ID: ALT46641.1), and N-acetylmuramidase (protein ID: WP_013439201.1) were compatible with these proteins. Finally, the transcription of the three putative peptidoglycan hydrolases was upregulated in batch culture, in contrast, the expression of four peptidoglycan synthases was downregulated. These observations suggested the imbalance between peptidoglycan synthases and hydrolases involved in the lysis of Lactobacillus bulgaricus sp1.1.
