Similarly, the antagonistic strain Lactiplantibacillus pentosus LOCK 0979, a species very close to L. plantarum, produced 93% of L-lactic acid in MRS. However, in presence of sorbitol and galactosyl-polyols, the amount of D-lactate increased up to a concentration higher than 30% [58]. Int...
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are capable of synthesising metabolites known as exopolysaccharides (EPS) during fermentation. Traditionally, EPS plays an important role in fermented dairy products through their gelling and thickening properties, but they can also be beneficial to human health. This bioacti...
