Abstract
Parameters affecting the fermentative lactic acid (LA) production are summa rized and discussed: microorganism, carbon- and nitrogen-source, fermentati on mode, pH, and temperature. LA production is compared in terms of LA conc entration, LA yield and LA productivity. Also by-product formation and LA i somery are discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
