Notes:
Malic acid can be metabolized by lactic acid bacteria by two main pathways. Previous studies in malic acid degradation by malic and malolactic enzymes in wines and complex media have not been carried out in completely defined media. Some novel aspects of growth and metabolism of a L. plantarum strain in a defined medium were found. One of the most relevant results was that the strain could grow with malate as sole energy source added to the medium.
