Evolutionary genomics of lactic acid bacteria.
The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) might be the most numerous group of bacteria linked to humans. They are naturally associated with mucosal surfaces, particularly the gastrointestinal tract, and are also indigenous to food-related habitats, including plant (fruits, vegetables, and cereal grains), wine, milk, and meat environments (60, 61). The LAB include both important pathogens, e.g., several St...
متن کاملComparative genomics of the lactic acid bacteria.
Lactic acid-producing bacteria are associated with various plant and animal niches and play a key role in the production of fermented foods and beverages. We report nine genome sequences representing the phylogenetic and functional diversity of these bacteria. The small genomes of lactic acid bacteria encode a broad repertoire of transporters for efficient carbon and nitrogen acquisition from t...
متن کاملLactic acid bacteria: life after genomics
As powerhouses for the food industry, lactic acid bacteria continue to be the focus of considerable interest. While traditionally applied in industrial dairy and other food fermentations, lactic acid bacteria are now used in a great variety of drinks, yoghurts or other products that are marketed with specific health benefits. This has been the largest growth segment in the functional foods mark...
متن کاملFunctional genomics of lactic acid bacteria: from food to health
Genome analysis using next generation sequencing technologies has revolutionized the characterization of lactic acid bacteria and complete genomes of all major groups are now available. Comparative genomics has provided new insights into the natural and laboratory evolution of lactic acid bacteria and their environmental interactions. Moreover, functional genomics approaches have been used to u...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Effect of Lactic Acid Bacteria against Common Pathogenic Bacteria
Abstract Background and Objective: Probiotics are living microorganisms that have beneficial effects on the health of digestive system. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial ability of acidic and neutral supernatants (culture supernatant) of lactic acid bacteria against common bacterial pathogens. Meth...
