Ability of some strains of lactic acid bacteria to degrade phytic acid

Twelve strains of lactic acid bacteria were examined for their ability to degrade phytate. In media in which phytic acid was the source of phosphate, phytate degradation was observed. Phytate disappearance may however not only be due to phytase, as phytic acid coprecipitated with protein as a consequence of a fall in pH during fermentation.
