Abstract
The homofermentative lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum, use d as starter culture for salami fermentation, prevented the mould deve lopment (Penicillium gladioli) over the casing. As a consequence the c hemical composition of the salami didn't undergo any changes until the end of the ripening. The heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria Lact obacillus brevis, on the other hand, didn't prevent the mould from its usual development and this caused a partial disacidification.
