Lactic acid bacteria are facultative bacteria capable of growing in presence or absence of oxygen but in most of the research papers I read, they are cultured anaerobically
Hi ! If you need products of anaerobic metabolism, it's necessary make a culture anaerobically, or your process, like waste water treatment.
I agreed with Luis. the most interesting part of Lactic acid bacteria is in their anaerobic metabolite. that is why most papers cultured them in anaerobic conditions.
In line with Luis and Suphamid, lactic acid bacteria are generally used in the food industry via anaerobic fermentation. Aerobic culture also holds some promise in the food, biotech, health and agriculture industry (Pedersen et al. 2012: Annu. Rev. Food Sci. Technol. 2012. 3:37–58).
All spices of lactic acid are microaerophilic . but it was grow in anaerobic condition which showing in media big culture and cream color.
I think that the most interesting part of Lactic acid bacteria is in their anaerobic metabolite.
