These bacteria live on a variety of nutrients, but their production of CO2 results almost entirely from the enzymatic transformation of malic acid to lactic acid:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMalic Acid                                         Lactic Acid\u003cbr\u003eHOOC–CH2–CH(OH)–COOH → CH3–CH(OH)–COOH + CO2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CO2 creates pressure, which is read by the SC-55 manometer. The CO2 pressure is directly proportional to the amount of malic acid in the sample. The level of malic acid can be calculated from the pressure values by one or more calibrators of malic acid provided with the kit. Detection limit is below 0.04 g\/L. The assay takes 45 minutes, or up to 90 minutes if the Confirmation Procedure is performed (page 8).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately assesses end of MLF at 0.04 g\/L malic acid.
