Abstract
The Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 4080 strains exhibited the highest magnesium binding activities (approximately: 5,82 mg Mg g-1 and 3,29 mg Mg g-1, respectively) in a medium containing magnesium in the form of salts such as magnesium acetate, with a magnesium concentration of 1,5 g dm-3. Lb. brevis binded more magnesium than Lb. plantarum ATCC 4080 under the same culture conditions. The strains showed weaker growth during 24 h of culture in a medium to with 0,5–1,5 g Mg dm-3 was added, both in the form of sulfate and acetate of magnesium, in comparison with the control medium; however no decrease in their acidifying proprieties were observed.
