Abstract: In order to reduce fermentation cost, decrease environmental pollution and improve the industrial flexibility of lactic acid fermentation, agricultural organic wastes and other renewable resources are used as raw materials, microbial fermentation of lactic acid overcomes the drawbacks of traditional methods and has been widely applied in production. In this paper, based on the introduction of microbial species which can produce lactic acids and their metabolic pathways, the research progress of microbial fermentation of lactic acid from agricultural organic wastes has been systematically discussed as well as the techniques of lactic acid fermentation, extraction and purification. Finally, the prospect of microbial fermentation of lactic acid from agricultural organic wastes has been predicted from the following three aspects, i.e. exploring microbial species resources, optimizing the techniques of fermentation and purification as well as expanding resource usage.
