Malolactic enzyme participates in wine malolactic fermentation, naturally lowering acidity and improving flavor; it has been purified from Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus plantarum and Oenococcus oeni, contains tightly bound NAD+ and requires Mn2+. It decarboxylates (S)-malate into (S)-lactate and CO2. In wine it softens acidity. It requires NAD+ and Mn2+.
