Activities for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent and NAD-independent forms of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were measured in cell-free extracts ofStaphylococcus aureusstrain PS 6 for thedandlisomers of lactate. Data obtained for the NAD-dependent lactate dehydrogenases indicate that oxidation of both isomers of lactate is due to both anl-lactate-specific LDH and a lactate racemase. After acrylamide gel electrophoresis, two bands exhibiting LDH activity were detected in crude or in partially purified cell-free extracts. The fast band exhibited LDH activity that was not NAD-dependent for both isomers of lactate, whereas, the slow band had very high NAD-dependent LDH activity for thelisomer but just detectable activity or thedisomer. Both bands appeared whend-lactate was used as the substrate, but only the slow band was formed whenl-lactate was the substrate. NAD-dependent LDH, in apparent association with a nonspecific tetrazolium-reducing protein, is responsible for the production of the slow band.
