SUMMARYThirty-one strains of heterofermentative lactobaoilli have been examined by routine physiological tests, starch-gel electrophoresis of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and by qualitative analysis of cell wall amino acids. Two major subdivisions are apparent, corresponding to Lactobacillus fermenti with L. cellobiosus on one hand, and L. brevis with L. buchneri and L. viridescens on the other.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
