Malolactic Fermentation: New Approaches to Old Problems. [PDF]
Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is the decarboxylation of L-malic acid to L-lactic acid by lactic acid bacteria (LAB). For the majority of wine production, secondary fermentation is crucial. MLF significantly impacts the quality of most red and some white wine.

Effect of biofilm formation by Oenococcus oeni on malolactic fermentation and the release of aromatic compounds in wine [PDF]
The winemaking process involves the alcoholic fermentation of must, often followed by malolactic fermentation. The latter, mainly carried out by the lactic acid bacterium Oenococcus oeni, is used to improve wine quality when acidity reduction is required.
