[[file:Lactobacillus_micrograph.png|thumb|left|Micrograph of lactic Lactic acid bacteria (purple rods)]]
After the changing environment of the wort ends the growth of the enteric bacteria around 30 to 60 days, bacteria of the pediococcus come to dominate the bacterial flora. Lactobacillus can also be found in the wort in large numbers at this time, and both genuses are responsible for most of the [[Lactic acid|lactic acid]] in Lambic. Collectively these bacteria are known as the lactic acid bacteria.
