R. Gilarova et al., CELLULAR FATTY-ACIDS ANALYSIS IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF LACTIC-ACID BACTERIA, International journal of food microbiology, 24(1-2), 1994, pp. 315-319
The main factors affecting the cellular fatty acid composition such as
cultivation temperature, pH and NaCl content of cultivation medium, g
rowth stage and the method of fat isolation are summarised. The effect
s of these factors on the fatty acids patterns are compared with those
found after the cultivation of several strains of Lactobacillus sake
and L. pentosus.
