Two different catalysis mechanisms of 2-KA formation were present in the cells, which were induced by glycolate (GA), and DL-lactate (DL-LA), respectively. The productivity number of 6.52 mmol g<sup>−1</sup> cells h<sup>−1</sup> was obtained when DL-LA was the sole carbon source and was the highest ever reported.</p>
