High lactic acid production by Lactobacillus sp. V156 isolated from Vietnamese fermented mustard greens

Lactic acid, which can be produced by many bacterial groups through fermentation, is an interesting compound because it can be used in various fields such as in the food, pharmaceutical, material and chemical industries. In the present study, eight high lactic acid producing bacteria were isolated and screened from fermented mustard greens. The highest lactic acid producer (strain V156) was selected for further studies.
