Biotechnology of Lactic Acid Bacteria : Novel Applications /
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have historically been used as starter cultures for the production of fermented foods, especially dairy products. Over recent years, new areas have had a strong impact on LAB studies: the application of 'omics' tools; the study of complex microbial ecosystems, th...
