Results showed that strains of L. lactis subsp. lactis were able to produce this acid, whereas L. lactis subsp. cremoris were not. GABA production thus represents another effective characteristic for distinguishing L. lactis subsp. lactis from L. lactis subsp. cremoris., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-49-1-163
