The present and potential future for LAB in winemaking, as discussed in this review. MLF (central) is the main role of LAB. However, there are many other features to consider (outer circle), with the utilization of selected starter cultures, as displayed above. *Given the ability to perform MLF, Pediococcus has been acknowledged in this figure. However, due to the variability of its contribution to wine, Pediococcus is not currently used as a starter culture and may be tentatively suggested as MLF starter for the future.
