| Products | usually produces mixtures of organic acids from carbohydrates or peptone often including large amounts of butyric, acetic or formic acids. Does not produce: propionic acid as a major acid product ( see Propionibacterium) Lactic as the sole major acid product (see Lactobacillus) succinic (in the presence of carbon dioxide) and lactic acid with small amounts of acetic of formic acids ( see Actinomyces) acetic and lactic (acetic>lactic) with or without formic as the sole major acid products (see Bifidobacterium) |
