Non-sterilized fermentation of high optically pure d-lactic acid by a genetically modified thermophilic Bacillus coagulans strain

Abstract Background Optically pure d-lactic acid (≥ 99%) is an important precursor of polylactic acid. However, there are relatively few studies on d-lactic acid fermentation compared with the extensive investigation of l-lactic acid production. Most lactic acid producers are mesophilic organisms. O...
