title: Sugar and malic acid utilization and acetic acid formation byLeuconostoc oenos.
abstract: Leuconostoc oenos ST8, isolated from an Argentinian red wine, utilized glucose, fructose and malic acid and produced acetic acid. Fructose was preferred to glucose as a source of carbohydrate. Malic acid was almost completely degraded in 3 days at 25°C. Acetic acid formation correlated with fructose utilization.
