Kung - Som is a popular traditional Thai fermented shrimp product. It is rich in glutamic acid, which is the major substrate for the biosynthesis of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) by lactic acid bacteria (LAB). In the present study, LAB from Kung - Som were isolated, screened for GABA formation, and the two isolates that transform glutamic acid most efficiently into GABA were identified. Based on the API-CHL50 fermentation profile and a phylogenetic tree of 16S rDNA sequences, strain CS3 and CS5 were identified as Lactobacillus futsaii, which was for the first time shown to be a promising GABA producer. L. futsaii CS3 was the most efficient microorganism for the conversion of 25 mg/mL monosodium glutamate (MSG) to GABA, with a maximum yield of more than 99% conversion rate within 72 h. The open reading frame (ORF) of the glutamate decarboxylase ( gad ) gene was identified by PCR. It consists of 1410 bp encoding a polypeptide of 469 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 53.64 kDa and an isoelectric point (pI) of 5.56. Moreover, a good quality of the constructed model of L. futsaii CS3 was also estimated. Our results indicate that L. futsaii CS3 could be of interest for the production of GABA-enriched foods by fermentation and for other value-added products.
