Mlobeli, N.T. | Gutierrez, N.A. | Maddox, I.S.
A strain of Bifidobacterium bifidum was grown on different sugars under pH-controlled conditions to estimate some kinetic parameters for growth and product formation. Glucose was the preferred sugar in terms of growth rate and yield, sugar utilisation rate and acetate formation rate, while lactose gave considerably lower values for these parameters. When present in a mixture with glucose, the rate of lactose utilisation was lower than when present on its own.
