''O. oeni'' can decarboxylate L-malate to L(+)-lactate, but cannot use it as a sole source of carbon. It requires the amino acids Glutamic acid, valine, guanine, adenine, xanthine, uracil, riboflavin, folic acid, nicotinic acid, thiamine, biotine and pantothenic acid. There is some variation of amino acid requirement between strains. <ref name="UCDavisOO">[http://wineserver.ucdavis.edu/industry/enology/winemicro/winebacteria/oenococcus_oeni.html.

Althought ''O. Oeni'' has primarily been used for Malolactic Fermentation, trials with the White Labs culture(only one reported on so far) has show lactic acid production without the presence of malic acid.
