TY - JOUR AU - WALKER, T. K. AB - SUMMARY: A rod‐shaped, facultative, heterofermentative lactic acid‐forming microorganism, isolated from cider, showed some similarities to Lactobacillus pastorianus van Laer, to L. pastorianus var. brownii and to L. brevis Orla‐Jensen. Its most notable characteristic was an ability to form mucilage in a medium containing glucose, fructose or especially maltose. The highest levels of viscosity were obtained in a medium containing maltose (pH 5·1), after 12–16 days incubation at 25° under an atmosphere of carbon dioxide.
