What are Psychrophilic Kimchi Lactic Acid Bacteria(LAB)?
Kimchi is generally fermented at low temperatures, and numerous lactic acid bacteria are involved in its fermentation. Psychrophilic kimchi lactic acid bacteria collectively refer to those strains that proliferate well at the low fermentation temperatures of kimchi but grow poorly at moderate temperatures (around 30℃), as well as certain mesophilic strains that grow at 30℃ but cannot grow at higher temperatures. These diverse bacteria play important roles in kimchi fermentation. To ensure the effective utilization of these resources, we aim to proactively secure useful Psychrophilic Kimchi Lactic Acid Bacteria required by research and industry, and make them available for sharing.
