title: Effect of age, amount of inoculum and inoculation medium composition on lactic acid production from glucose by Lactobacillus casei subsp. rhamnosus.
abstract: Effect of composition of the medium used for the inoculum cultivation, of the age and amount of the inoculum was investigated using a 3-L glass fermentor with a working volume of 1 L. The highest productivity of the culture was obtained when using a 20% (V/V) 1-d inoculum grown in the MRS medium. Yields of lactic acid were 88-97%, while the L(+)-isomer represented about 80% of the total product.
