Abstract excerpt
Heterofermentative, lactic acid-producing, gram-positive, motile bacteria were isolated from the waters of Ace Lake, Antarctica. All strains produced virtually only L(+)lactic acid from D(+)glucose. D(--)-ribose was fermented to lactic, acetic, and formic acids, and ethanol. Cell walls contained...
