title: Enrichment of Propionibacterium in paddy soil by addition of various organic substances.
abstract: Enrichment of Propionibacterium and production of propionic acid in paddy soil after addition of glucose, casamino acids, or Na-lactate, respectively, were investigated. Only in the case of Na-lactate, both enrichment of Propionibacterium (74% of total anaerobes isolated) and production of large amounts of propionic acid were observed. These results suggest that lactate may support the growth of Propionibacterium in paddy soil.
