Abstract
The present invention relates generally to compositions and methods for producing lactic acid using a lactic acid producing microorganism. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods for producing lactic acid with high yield, high concentration and high volumetric productivity through biological fermentation by Enterococcus faecalis, or recombinant microorganisms transformed to produce lactate dehydrogenase using the lactate dehydrogenase-encoding genes derived from E. faecalis.
