Glucose metabolism in Lactococcus lactis MG1363 under different aeration conditions: requirement of acetate to sustain growth under microaerobic conditions

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on metabolic behavior of Lactococcus lactis MG1363. The study of this behavior has been carried out via the batch cultivation experiments with this bacterium growing on glucose under various aeration conditions, and the results demonstrate that acetate is important in sustaining growth.
