ML bacteria are bacteria which conduct malolactic fermentation (MLF).
At the most basic level that means they eat up malic acid and produce
lactic acid. MLF is suitable for wines where a reduction in acidity is
desired (and/or stability re MLB is an issue) and the wine style is not
so much focused towards varietal aromas and flavours.
