Abstract: 
The article contains comprehensive information on groups of bacteria producing lactic acid, which have high metabolic activity and can be used in industrial production. In addition, an overview of the most common fermentation methods (batch, continuous, multiple), as well as cheap carbon sources: starch and cellulose-containing, industrial and food waste is provided.
