Strain Information

Information
Produces biomass on whey permeate of cheddar cheese. Used for assay of trichothecenes. Degrades glucose. Degrades whey permeate. Ferments pentoses. Used in fungus resistance testing for adhesives. Produces acetoin dehydrogenase (diacetyl reductase). Produces beta-galactosidase (beta-D-galactosidase). Produces butanediol dehydrogenase (acetoin reductase). Produces ethanol. Produces glycerol (glycerine). Produces lactase. Produces single-cell protein.
