  • Title: Citrate utilization in milk by Leuconostoc cremoris and Streptococcus diacetilactis.
    Author: Cogan TM.
    Journal: J Dairy Res; 1975 Feb; 42(1):139-46. PubMed ID: 1173068.
    Abstract:
    Citrate utilization and diacetyl, acetoin and acetaldehyde production by 2 strains each of Leuconostoc cremoris and Streptococcus diacetilactis in milk were studied. With the leuconostoc bacteria no growth and little citrate utilization occurred unless a stimulant (yeast extract) was present, when complete utilization of citrate without concomitant production of diacetyl or acetoin was obtained. The additon of Mn2+ stimulated growth resulted in diacetyl and acetoin production. Destruction of diacetyl and acetoin occurred when the citric acid level fell to c.1000 and 600 mug/g in the case of Leuc. cremoris FR8-1 and CAF1, respectively. Only strain FR8-1 produced acetaldehyde. In contrast, Str. diacetilactis produced diacetyl, acetoin and acetaldehyde concomitant with citrate utilization.
