Summary The enzymatic production of S-lactoylglutathione was studied by applying glyoxalase I to glycerol-grown cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli cells dosed with Pseudomonas putida glyoxalase I gene. The glyoxalase I in S. cerevisiae cells was markedly induced when the cells were grown on glycerol. The activity of the enzyme in glycerol-grown cells was more than 20-fold higher compared with that of the glucose-grown cells. By using extracts of glycerol-grown yeast cells, about 5 mmol/1 (2 g/l) of S-lactoylglutathione was produced from 10 mM methylglyoxal and 50 mM glutathione within 1 h. The extracts of E. coli cells carrying a hybrid plasmid pGI423, which contains P. putida glyoxalase I gene, showed approximately 170-fold higher glyoxalase I activity than that of E. coli cells without pGI423. The extracts were used for production of S-lactoylglutathione and, under optimal conditions, about 40 mmol/l (15 g/l) of S-lactoylglutathione was produced from 50 mM methylglyoxal and 100mM glutathione within 1 h.
