Lactic acid is a very important chemical having various applications in the field of pharmaceutical, cosmetics, textile, leather and food industries. 85% of lactic acid is used in the food related applications but recently it has drawn much attention to many other industrial applications like biodegradable plastic production. Lactic acid is able to be produced by
chemical synthesis or bacterial fermentation, but none of chemical production routes shows technical and economical viability. Significant advantage of biotechnological production of lactic acid by fermentation over chemical synthesis is that can use cheap raw materials. In this
presentation, we will show the production of lactic acid using several metabolically engineered lactic acid bacteria. Detailed results will be presented.
