Manganese and Lactic Acid Bacteria

Journal of Food Protection, 1985
Manganese (Mn), in trace quantities, is essential for growth and metabolic activities of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The requirement for Mn has a certain degree of specifity and cannot be completely replaced by other metals. Frozen storage of LAB, species/subspecies, type of fermentable carbohydrate, interaction with other ions and chloride salts ...

Evaluation of Petrifilm Lactic Acid Bacteria Plates for Counting Lactic Acid Bacteria in Food

Journal of Food Protection, 2018
Although lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are used widely as starter cultures in the production of fermented foods, they are also responsible for food decay and deterioration. The undesirable growth of LAB in food causes spoilage, discoloration, and slime formation.
