rather like a layer of crystals. During the first week the growth is dry and of cartilaginous 

 consistency, but later it becomes softer and moister, and assumes an almost pulp-like 

 consistency. Ferments glucose, maltose, lactose, sucrose, mannitol and either arabinose 

 or xylose, with the formation of acid and gas. Facultative anaerobe. Optimum tempera- 

 ture 25° C. Is found in fermenting vegetable material and in sugar solutions. 



Hucker and Pederson (1930) recognize two other species. Leuconostoc dextranicus 

 ferments sucrose, but not pentoses, produces a moderate amount of slime from sucrose, 

 and may be associated with either vegetable or dairy products. 



Leuconostoc citrovorus does not ferment sucrose or pentoses, produces no slime from 

 sucrose, and is generally associated with milk or milk products.
