• Current Limitations and Challenges with Lactic Acid Bacteria: A Review (2013, background): “In addition to carbohydrates (carbon source), culture media of LAB are usually supplemented with various free amino acids, peptides, nucleic acid derivatives, fatty acids esters, minerals, vitamins, and buffering agents [6] [17].”
• An overview of the recent developments in polylactide (PLA) research. (2010, background): “Besides high product specificity, as it produces a desired optically pure L-(+)- or D-( )-lactic acid, the biotechnological production of lactic acid offers several advantages compared to chemical synthesis like low cost of substrates, low production temperature, and low energy consumption (John et ”
• Abiotic and biotic environmental degradation of the bioplastic polymer poly(lactic acid): A review (2017, background): “Fermentation based generation of lactic acid has a lower environmental impact as it uses renewable resources instead of petrochemicals, consumes less energy and is cheaper to produce [33,35].”
• Recent advances in lactic acid production by microbial fermentation processes. (2013, background): “The major manufacturers of fermentative lactic acid production are NatureWorks LLC, which had been wholly owned by Cargill Incorporated (USA), Purac (The Netherlands), Galactic (Belgium), and several Chinese companies (John et al., 2007b).”
• Plastic Film Mulching for Water-Efficient Agricultural Applications and Degradable Films Materials Development Research (2015, background): “There are several enhancements that need to be achieved with the biotechnological production of LA, such as the development of highperformance LA-producing microorganisms and the lowering of the costs of raw materials and natural fermentation manufacturing processes [68, 71].”
• Lactic Acid Bacteria Antimicrobial Compounds: Characteristics and Applications (2012, background): “The bacteria belong to Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Leuconostoc and Enterococcus species [30, 72, 94, 127].”
• Photocatalytic conversion of biomass-based monosaccharides to lactic acid by ultrathin porous oxygen doped carbon nitride (2021, background): “The biological synthesis of lactic acid is through the fermentation of glucose or corn starch, [24] and yet no single fermentation system is generic for all different types of biomass feedstocks.”
