Abstract
Gas measurements show that the propionic acid bacteria utilize oxygen in their dissimilation of lactic acid. The most favorable pH for oxygen uptake is 5.3-5.6. Py-ruvic acid is a product of the dissimilation under the conditions of the expts. Products of the dissimilation of lactic acid and the oxygen utilized were quantitatively detd. and C and oxidation-reduction balances calculated, thus offering more complete information on the mechanism of aerobic dissimilation of lactic acid by propionic acid bacteria.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
