The performances of mixed culture fermentations fed with four
different agricultural peel wastes were evaluated in this study.
Results showed that LA was the predominant chemical produced
in all fermentation broths. Characterization of the microbial community
composition showed that LAB rapidly increased during
the fermentations. The mixed cultures fermentation simplified
the reactor microbial community and formed relative homogeneous
LAB that dominated by genus Lactobacillus at the end of
fermentation.
