Abstract	The effects of lactate and probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) on intestinalfermentation were analyzed using a fecal batch culture. Lactate was efficientlymetabolized to butyrate and propionate by butyrate-utilizing bacteria in fecalfermentation. Probiotic LAB could stimulate butyrate and propionate production throughtheir lactate production in fecal fermentation. It was considered that 109 cfu/g or more of probiotic LAB would be required to stimulate butyrate and propionateproduction in the large intestine. Due to the low production of lactate, a larger numberof heterofermentative LAB than homofermentative LAB would be required for thisstimulation.
