Abstract
Transport and metabolism of sugars (pentoses, hexoses, and disaccharides), organic acids (citrate and malate), and amino acids by Leuconostoc spp. are reviewed. The effects of internal pH and Mn on growth and metabolism are considered. The NIZO (Netherlands Institute for Dairy Research, Ede, The Netherlands) process for the production of ripened cream butter, used extensively in Europe, is outlined. © 1994, American Dairy Science Association.
