Changes

The pH of the wine can have an impact on which lactic acid bacteria species will grow. Below a pH of 3.5, ''O. oeni'' is the most dominant LAB species. ''Lactobacillus'' and ''Pediococcus'' are more common in wines above a pH of 3.5, with ''Pediococcus'' being most common in wines with a pH between 3.8 and 4.0, although ''Pediococcus'' has also been found in wines with a pH as low as 3.2. They are further inhibited by high ethanol, SO₂, and high-temperature storage <ref name="Wade_2018">[https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ajgw.12366 Role of Pediococcus in winemaking.
