The acid production and sugar utilization of Lactobacillus helveticus YM-1 between Streptecoccus lactic ML₃ were investigated in skim milk, cultured broth filtrate and semi-synthetic medium. The effect of acid production by mixed culture and in cultured broth filtrate of the other party were more than that of single culture and self-cultured broth filtrate. When the two strains were cultured 12 hrs, Streptococcus lactis ML, utilized with 0.4% lactose, Lactobacillus helveticus YM-1 with 0.85%, and mixed strains with 1.05% respectively. In 8 hrs fermentation Lactobacillus helveticus YM-1 and mixed strains accumulated 0.22%, 0.10% glucose in the medium respectively, and then decreased gradually. The glucose released by Lactobacillus helveticus YM-1 was stimulated the acid production of Streptococcus lactis ML₃.
