Continuous production of lactic acid from molasses by free and immobilized Sporolactobacillus cellulosolvens

Abstract
Both free and immobilized cells of Sporolactobacillus cellulosolvens, in continuous culture on molasses (50 g sugar 1-1) at 40°C, had maximum lactic acid productivities of 0.03 and 0.06 mol l-1 h, at dilution rates of 0.27 and 0.25 h-1, respectively.
