3-Hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) is a novel antimicrobial agent against foodborne pathogens like and species. converts glycerol into 3-HP using a coenzyme A-dependent pathway, which is encoded by propanediol utilization operon () subjected to catabolite repression. In a catabolite-repression-deregulated RPRB3007, quantitative PCR revealed a 2.

Lactobacillus reuteri grown in MRS broth containing 20 mM glycerol exhibits 3.7-fold up-regulation of 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) pathway genes during the stationary phase. Concomitantly, the resting cells prepared from stationary phase show enhancement in bio-conversion of glycerol, and the maximum specific productivity (q p) is found to be 0.
