L. NURAIDA, I. GRIGOLAVA, J.D. OWENS AND G. CAMPBELL‐PLATT. 1992. Leuconostoc mesenteroides NCDO 518, Leuc, mesenteroides NCIB 8710, Leur. mesenteroides NCIB 8023, Leuconostoc sp. Pz 45, Leuconostoc sp. Pz 34 and Leuconostoc sp. Pz 10 were grown in a chemically defined medium with glucose and different external electron acceptors. All strains, except Leuconostoc sp. Pz 10, formed acetate under aerobic conditions. Leuconostoc Pz 10 produced only small amounts of acetate under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. This strain was the only strain not possessing NADH oxidase. All strains produced acetate from a mixture of glucose plus pyruvate. None of the bacteria used glycerol. Oxygen and pyruvate as external electron acceptors increased the cell yield on glucose.
