The Lactic Acid Bacteria is planned as a series in a number of
volumes, and the interest shown in it appears to justify a cautious
optimism that a series comprising at least five volumes will appear
in the fullness of time. This being so, I feel that it is desirable
to introduce the series by providing a little of the history of the
events which culminated in the decision to produce such a series. I
also wish to indicate the boundaries of the group 'The Lactic Acid
Bacteria' as I have defined them for the present purposes, and to
outline my hopes for future topics in the series. Historical
background lowe my interest in the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) to
the late Dr Cyril Rainbow, who introduced me to their fascinating
world when he offered me a place with him to work for a PhD on the
carbohydrate metabolism of some lactic rods isolated from English
beer breweries by himself and others, notably Dr Dora Kulka. He was
particularly interested in their preference for maltose over
glucose as a source of carbohydrate for growth, expressed in most
cases as a more rapid growth on the disaccharide; but one isolate
would grow only on maltose. Eventually we showed that maltose was
being utilised by 'direct fermentation' as the older texts called
it, specifically by the phosphorolysis which had first been
demonstrated for maltose by Doudoroff and his associates in their
work on maltose metabolism by a strain of Neisseria meningitidis.
