In addition to Lactobacillus brevis and L. cellobiosus, a diversity of LAB species, particularly heterofermentative Lactobacillus spp. and Oenococcus oeni exhibited this ability in a range of ethanolic and wine-based media. The substrates and metabolism of mousy compound formation by LAB were also investigated. A pathway for the formation of ACPY and ACTPY by heterofermentative LAB was proposed. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Horticulture, Viticulture & Oenology, 1999
