Summary

It was previously found that low concentrations of oleic acid in the growth medium inhibited the growth of Streptococcus cremoris strain C 13. However, a variant of this strain has now been isolated which is capable of growth in relatively high concentrations of oleic acid. This was achieved by the extended incubation of inocula of strain C 13 in milk containing various concentrations of oleic acid.
