“…In particular, D. hansenii is resistant to the salt solution (Butinar, Santos, Spencer-Martins, Oren, & Gunde-Cimerman, 2005;Corte et al, 2006;Seiler & Busse, 1990) even if its presence, however, on the crust should not be considered a problem. In fact, this species is an important component in the production of several cheese type made with ewes' milk (Cosentino, Fadda, Deplano, Mulargia, & Palmas, 2001;Del Bove et al, 2009;Fadda, Mossa, Pisano, Deplano, & Cosentino, 2004;Gardini et al, 2006). D. hansenii can contribute to the development of the flavour, exerting important metabolic activities during ripening and limiting the growth of deleterious spoiling bacteria (Bonaiti, Leclercq-Perlat, Latrille, & Corrieu, 2004;Cousin, 2003;Fatichenti, Bergere, Deiana, & Farris, 1983).…”
