Summary

Citrate utilization and diacetyl, acetoin and acetaldehyde production by 2 strains each of Leuconostoc cremoris and Streptococcus diacetilactis in milk were studied. With the leuconostoc bacteria no growth and little citrate utilization occurred unless a stimulant (yeast extract) was present, when complete utilization of citrate without concomitant production of diacetyl or acetoin was obtained. The addition of Mn2+ stimulated growth and citrate utilization in the presence of yeast extract. Addition of citric acid after 65-h growth resulted in diacetyl and acetoin production. Destruction of diacetyl and acetoin occurred when the citric acid level fell to c. 1000 and 600 μg/g in the case of Leuc. cremoris FR8-1 and CAF1, respectively. Only strain FR8-1 produced acetaldehyde. In contrast, Str. diacetilactis produced diacetyl, acetoin and acetaldehyde concomitant with citrate utilization.
