3/pooled A+C

MLA 3 A and MLA 3 C

The main non-gaseous fermentation products of molasses were lactate and ethanol, concentration of butyrate was very low

MLA-9-AC

MLA

9/pooled A+C

MLA 9 A and MLA 9 C

The main fermentation product of molasses supplemented with acetate and lactate was butyrate; lactate as a substrate was efficiently utilized

LA-3-BC

LA

3/pooled B+C

LA 3 B and LA 3 C

Lactate as a substrate was partially metabolized

LA-18-AB

LA

18/pooled A+B

LA 18 A and LA 18 B

The main fermentation product of the medium containing exclusively lactate and acetate was butyrate; lactate as a substrate was efficiently utilized
