In normal conditions of use,the medium allows the growth of other microorganims also which are not directly related to the cheese alteration, e.g. Cl. butyricum or Cl. sporogenes, besides the main responsible organism Cl. tyrobutyricum, in presence of enough acetate, Clostridium tyrobutyricum ferments lactate, producing acetic and butyric acids, CO2 and hydrogen |
