Abstract

Thirty-five strains of malolactic bacteria were isolated from grapes and alcoholic and malolactic fermentations in two vineyards from northwestern Spain. These belonged to six species of the genera Lactobacillus and Leuconostoc. The results of their partial enological characterization showed that 47.5% utilized more than 80% of the initial malic acid.
