Discussion
Which best describes the relationship between the organisms of the sauerkraut succession?
Answer: D
Correct answer: Each changes the conditions so as to favour the next
Leuconostoc mesenteroides starts the fermentation and produces acid and carbon dioxide; the acidity it creates inhibits it and favours the more acid-tolerant Lactobacillus brevis, and then L. plantarum, which finishes the fermentation. Each species prepares the conditions for its successor and is displaced by them - a succession rather than a competition.
