The growth of different species of the genera Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Pediococcus and Leuconostoc was followed in media in which all available iron and copper was chelated by 2,2′-dipyridyl. None of the species tested was inhibited in its growth. Iron and copper complexation, by means of chemical scavengers, could be a useful method to direct non-axenic lactic fermentations. © 1989 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
