Culture of L. sakei using a lab scale fermenter based on FGMs. L. sakei strain was inoculated into seven different types of FGMs and incubated at 37 ℃ for 18 h to reach its endpoint growth in different media. The bacterial culture growth rates were checked using a spectrophotometer. All data are presented as mean ± SD. They were log-transformed for each experiment. Significant differences are indicated by asterisks (***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05) using unpaired Student’s t-test. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant
