Leuconostok

Leuconostoc is a type of microorganism that lives in the environment and participates in the process of decomposition of organic matter. It belongs to the group of lactic acid bacteria that are used in the production of fermented milk products.

Leuconostoc was discovered in 1915 by Canadian biologist James Jenner, who named it after the Greek word for "bright" and the Latin word "stock" (drain). For decades, research on leuconostoc has focused on its role in the animal and plant kingdoms, as well as in the food industry. In particular, leuconostoc is used for the production of fermented milk drinks, cheeses, yoghurts and other milk-based products.

These microorganisms are typically the dominant components of natural ecosystems and microorganisms. They have unique metabolic properties, such as the ability to produce organic acids, carbohydrates and amino acids, as well as to induce enzyme
