Summary

A microcalorimetric method has been developed for the identification of 9 representative strains of lactic acid bacteria used in the dairy industry. A chemically defined medium containing several carbohydrates gave reproducible and characteristic growth patterns. The technique is proposed as a rapid alternative method for the identification of bacteria selected for commercial use.
