Whole-cell immobilization of entercoccus faecium DMF78 by gel entrapment for the direct lactic acid production from sago starch

Enterococcus faecium DMF78 is a novel amylolytic lactic acid bacterium that has the ability to directly convert starch into L(+)-lactic acid. To further improve the lactic acid production, this bacterium was immobilized using three matrices, namely: agar, alginate and K-carrageenan. Each matrix was...
