“…2)� Někdy jsou souhrně označovány jako "mléčné koky" nebo nesprávně "sarciny"� Jedná se o grampozitivní, nesporulující, katalasa-negativní, chemoorganotrofní, anaerobní bakterie� Jsou homofermentativní, glukosu fermentují na kyselinu mléčnou bez produkce plynu� Optimální teplota růstu je uváděna v rozmezí 25-35 °C, ale např� P. damnosus roste v rozmezí 8-30 °C, u druhu P. acidilactici je undesirable sensory substances already during beer production, and secondary (post-pasteurization) contamination, which can damage the final product by causing turbidity and adversely affecting its taste and smell (Back, 2005 (Back, 1987;Back et al�, 1996;Bohak et al� 1998;2006;Bokulich and Bamforth, 2013;Dobson et al�, 2002;Ehrmann et al�, 2010;Funahashi et al�, 1998;Hollerová and Kubizniaková, 2002;Chaban et al�, 2002;Priest, 2003;Russell and Walker, 1953;Storgårds et al�, 1998;Suzuki et al�, 2004;Taskila et al�, 2010a)� Table 1 gives a survey of the species of Lactobacillus and Pediococcus which may come to the fore as beer contaminants� Not all isolates of these species, however, have the ability to spoil beer -lactic acid bacteria typically include both beer spoilers and nonspoilers� The species L. brevis, L. lindneri and P. damnosus are reported as the most risky and most common contaminants of finished beer� According to estimates, L. brevis is responsible for more than approximately 50 % of cases of microbial spoilage of beer (Sakamoto and Konings, 2003)� The species P. damnosus is found mostly in beer during final fermentation and in finished beer, less frequently in yeast� The species P. inopinatus and P. pentosaceus are mainly detected as yeast contaminants and seldom in beer (Priest, 2003)� Other representatives of lactic bacteria such as Leuconostoc, Oenococcus, Lactococcus, Streptococcus and Enterococcus do not show resistance to bitter substances of hops and are not commonly found in beer (Bokulich and Bamforth, 2013)�…”
