Microbiological characterization of wet wheat distillers' grain, with focus on isolation of lactobacilli with potential as probiotics
Article Abstract:
The description of wet wheat distillers' grain (WWDG) from a microbiological point of view and identification of Lactobacillus species is undertaken. An investigation about some characteristics that could be important for their potential, as probiotics, is made.
