  1. Lactic Acid Bacteria Hopkins Microbiology Course 2010 Marcus Schicklberger

  2. Lactic Acid Bacteria • Gram positive • Non-sporforming • Anaerobes, lack catalase • Acid- and halotolerant • Ferment glucose to only lactic acid or to lactic acid, CO2 and EtOH • Obtain energy only from the metabolism of sugars • Have limited biosynthetic abilities  complex media • often plant- and animal-associated • Don´t need iron  advantage: no pathogens in niche • Streptococcuspneumoniae: meningitis, pneumonia Lactobacillusacidophilus
