Beskrivning

This is the second volume in the Lactic Acid Bacteria Series and concentrates on the classification of the genera which has undergone considerable change in recent years. In this volume, a chapter is devoted to each of the principal genera of lactic acid bacteria which are now recognized. These chapters include discussion of the phytogenetic position of the genus in question and its relationship to other genera of lactic acid bacteria, a description of the principal features which are characteristic of the genus, and descriptions of the species in the genus. This book is an essential source of reference for dairy technologists, microbiologists and biotechnologists in the academic and industrial sectors. This book should be of interest to dairy technologists, microbiologists and biotechnologists in the academic and industrial sectors.
