Fermentation of corn fiber hydrolysate to lactic acid by the moderate thermophile Bacillus coagulans

A strain of Bacillus coagulans that converted mixed sugars of glucose, xylose, and arabinose to l -lactic acid with 85% yield at 50°C was isolated from composted dairy manure. The strain was tolerant to aldehyde growth inhibitors at 2.5 g furfural/l, 2.5 g 5-hydroxymethylfurfural/l, 2.5 g vanillin/l...
