The Genera of Lactic Acid Bacteria / edited by B.J.B. Wood, W.H. Holzapfel.
The second volume in the series The Lactic Acid Bacteria concentrates on the classification of the genera, which has undergone considerable change in recent years. This is the only comprehensive treatment available which deals exclusively with the genera of lactic acid bacteria and their classificat...
