Popis: The response of cytoplasmic pH to external cellular pH was shown to be influenced by the growth phase forLeuconostoc mesenteroides, but not forLactobacillus plantarum. A continuous culture system was shown to reduce growth phase effects, and offer the advantage of more consistency in internal pH values. Oxygen, manganese, cell density, external pH, and organic acid production were shown not to influence the internal pH of these bacteria when grown in continuous culture.
