Spore-forming, lactic acid producing bacteria of the genera Bacillus and Sporolactobacillus

  • Chapter
The Genera of Lactic Acid Bacteria

Part of the book series: The Lactic Acid Bacteria ((LAAB,volume 2))

Abstract

Lactic acid production is traditionally considered to be associated with non-spore-forming bacteria known as lactic acid bacteria. In addition to these organisms, a number of lactic acid forming aerobic spore-formers have been described which are allocated to the genera Bacillus and Sporolactobacillus. In 1872, Ferdinand Cohn, a German botanist and bacteriologist, established the generic name Bacillus to include rod-shaped bacteria that grow in filaments (Cohn, 1872). Only 4 years later Cohn and Robert Koch independently detected that two species of the newly created genus Bacillus were able to form resting stages which were not killed easily by mere boiling (Cohn, 1876; Koch, 1876). These heat-resistant bodies were denoted as endospores. The detection of these bacterial resting stages resistant to various adverse environmental influences finally finished off the last advocates of the obstinately defended theory of ‘spontaneous generation’. It was also demonstrated that a developmental cycle linked cells and spores: that a cell forms a resistant spore and that this spore grows out again to become a vegetative cell.
