As the organic source diluted waste whey was used. Two facultative anaerobic bacteria strains were examined: Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactococcus lactis. The neeed of anaerobic conditions as well as mineral supplementation of cultivationwere investigated. It turned out that the oxidationwas not the key parameter, but cultivationmediumneeded a supplementation for higher process efficiency. Finally, Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain was selected, for which LA production was app. 45% higher than for Lc. lactis. On the other hand, Lactobacillus rhamnosus was active at higher lactose concentration, thus waste whey needed to be less diluted. Additionally, high values of product/substrate yield coefficient make the process very efficient.}, type={Article}, title={Selection of batch process conditions for microbiological production of lactic acid using waste whey}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/110013/PDF/06_art_CPE_2019_1.pdf}, doi={10.24425/cpe.2019.126101}, keywords={lactic acid bacteria, whey, MRS, Monod equation, biomass}, }
