Comparison of the lactic acid producing potential among various strains of isolated LAB species. Codes of strains are presented on X-axis while lactic acid concentration (mg/mL) is shown on Y-axis. Samples were taken at various intervals (12 h, 24 h, and 48 h) during growth and analyzed for lactic acid concentration (mg/mL) in the cell free culture broth. Codes used for the lactic acid producing bacterial strains were; Leuconostoc mesenteroides (BSM-41, BSM-43, WFD-111, WFD-113, WFD-131, WFD-132, CYG-362); Enterococcus durans (RFD-112); Enterococcus faecium (CFD-122, WFD-128, RFD-154, COTG-352, CFD-174); Pediococcus acidilacticci (CFD-121); Lactobacillus plantarum (TRNP-181, COTG-331); Lactobacillus brevis (COTG-332).
