Homolactic fermentation is a metabolic process where glucose is converted into lactic acid as the sole or primary end product.
Here are some examples of homolactic fermenters and their applications:
* Lactococcus lactis: Used in the production of yogurt, cheese, and buttermilk.
* Lactobacillus acidophilus: Found in the human gut and used in probiotics.
* Streptococcus thermophilus: Used in the production of yogurt and cheese.
Note: While these are the most common examples, other LAB and even certain fungi can also perform homolactic fermentation under specific conditions.
