Abstract
The effect of different heterogeneous mixed bacterial inocula has been investigated on the acidogenic fermentation of cheese whey permeate. After a few months of continuous cultivation at pH 6 and at a retentio n time of 40 h, all mixed bacterial populations produced large amounts of lactate and butyrate, whereas the production of ethanol and acetat e was largely depending on the source of the inoculum.
