Mayer YR 1974 UL http://www.ajevonline.org/content/25/4/191.abstract AB During malo-lactic fermentation in red Swiss wines by a mixture of different strains of Leuconostoc oenos stoichiometric conversion of arginine to ornithine was observed. Evidence is presented that the reaction is linked to the urea cycle. Practical implications of those findings are discussed.
