- not comparableNot acidogenic.
The five nonacidogenic species (L. cremoris, L. lactis, L. dextranicum, L. mesenteroides, and L. paramesenteroides) are phenotypically homogeneous.

Thus, net acidogenesis and hence the potential to lower pH is not dependent on SCFA yield but is influenced by the fermentation of 'nonacidogenic' substrates which can buffer the fermentation system.

Fenwick, editor, Dietary Anticarcinogens and Antimutagens, page 416Examples of cross-protection effects associated with the induction of acid resistance in Escherichia coli O157:H7. (a) Cells grown to stationary phase in an acidogenic medium (TSB + 1% dextrose) or a nonacidogenic medium (TSB w/o dextrose) and then exposed to ionizing radiation (from Ref. 33). […]
2001, Vijay K. Juneja, John N. Sofos, Control of Foodborne Microorganisms, page 474The criteria used to assess the noncariogenic property of a substance are its nonfermentability by oral microorganisms, nonacidogenic property, and the absence of glucan formation (Schiweck and Ziesenitz 1995).
