New Insights into Various Production Characteristics of Streptococcus thermophilus Strains

Streptococcus thermophilus is one of the most valuable homo-fermentative lactic acid bacteria, which, for a long time, has been widely used as a starter for the production of fermented dairy products. The key production characteristics of S. thermophilus, for example the production of extracellular polysaccharide, proteolytic enzymes and flavor substances as well as acidifying capacity etc., ha...

UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 4-epimerase activity indicates the presence of N-acetylgalactosamine in exopolysaccharides of Streptococcus thermophilus strains.

The monomer composition of the exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by Streptococcus thermophilus LY03 and S. thermophilus Sfi20 were evaluated by high-pressure liquid chromatography with amperometric detection and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Both strains produced the same EPS composed of galactose, glucose, and N-acetylgalactosamine. Further, it was demonstrated that the activity of ...

Metabolic engineering of acetaldehyde production by Streptococcus thermophilus.

The process of acetaldehyde formation by the yogurt bacterium Streptococcus thermophilus is described in this paper. Attention was focused on one specific reaction for acetaldehyde formation catalyzed by serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT), encoded by the glyA gene. In S. thermophilus, SHMT also possesses threonine aldolase (TA) activity, the interconversion of threonine into glycine and ace...

Enhanced exopolysaccharide production by metabolic engineering of Streptococcus thermophilus.

It is possible that the low levels of production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs) by lactic acid bacteria could be improved by altering the levels of enzymes in the central metabolism that influence the production of precursor nucleotide sugars. To test this hypothesis, we identified and cloned the galU gene, which codes for UDP glucose pyrophosphorylase (GalU) in Streptococcus thermophilus LY03. H...

Bioprospecting of strains of Streptococcus thermophilus from Indian fermented milk products for folate production

This study deals with the bio-prospecting of folate producing strains of Streptococcus thermophilus isolated from milk and different fermented milk products of Indian origin. From a total of 500 randomly selected colonies isolated from 209 different samples, 117 isolates were identified as S. thermophilus by classical biochemical and molecular characterization. Frequency of incidence of S. ther...
