Extracellular surface tension variation, biomass, and lactose concentrations obtained from fermentations carried out in shake flasks with MRS-Lac broth using (a) L. coryniformis ssp. torquens CECT 25600, (b) L. paracasei ssp. paracasei A20, (c) L. plantarum A14, and (d) L. mesenteroides A4. Results represent the average of three independent experiments. (Biomass): ; (Lactose): --■--; Surface Tension: .
