title: Impact of respiration on resistance of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 to acid stress.
abstract: This study shows that growth under respiration conditions has a negative impact on the survival of stationary-phase cultures of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 at low pHs and that viability loss at critical values is associated with the formation of radicals and loss of membrane integrity.
