Abstract
Lactic acid and acetic acid are metabolic products of Staphylococcus carnosus irrespective of the media used. Lactate was produced at the expense of glucose (when available) while acetic acid was produced at the expense of lactate under aerobic or semi-aerobic conditions. The production of acetic acid could affect seriously the flavour and aroma of fermented sausages.
