Exopolysaccharides from the lactose-negative yeast Rhodotorula glutinis 16P were synthe­ sized by co-cultivation with the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis MP11 or with the homofermentative lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus helveticus 9A in a cheese whey ultrafiltrate. Exopoly­ saccharides were produced by lactose hydrolysis, performed by two pathways: with ß-galactosidase from Kluyveromyces lactis M...

Miang (fermented tea leaves) is one of the fermented products in the northern part of Thailand. Young tea leaves are collected, steamed, wrapped tightly in individual bundles, packed into containers, Identification of lactic acid bacteria from fermented tea leaves (miang) in Thailand and proposals of Lactobacillus thailandensis sp. nov., Lactobacillus camelliae sp. nov., and Pediococcus siamens...

Flavor development in ripening Cheddar cheese depends on complex microbial and biochemical processes that are difficult to study in natural cheese. Thus, our group has developed Cheddar cheese extract (CCE) as a model system to study these processes. In previous work, we found that CCE supported growth of Lactobacillus casei, one of the most prominent nonstarter lactic acid bacteria (NSLAB) spe...

We report the draft genome sequence of Lactobacillus agilis strain Marseille, isolated from stool samples of a child suffering from kwashiorkor. This strain can use two metabolic pathways allowing the assimilation of glucose and xylose. Here, we present the first draft genome of the Lactobacillus agilis species.

In the present study, Lactobacillus (160) isolates were isolated from curd sample. The isolates were aimed to analyze the antibacterial potential against Escherichia coli, Vibrio cholerae sub sp., ogawa, V. cholerae sub sp., inaba, Klebsiella sp., Proteus sp. and Shigella dysenteriae. All the isolates were inhibiting the tested Enteropathogenic bacteria except S. dysenteriae. Lactobacillus isol...

BACKGROUND Probiotic bacteria are becoming an important tool for improving human health, controlling diseases and enhancing immune responses. The availability of a cost effective cultivation conditions has profound effect on the efficiency and role of probiotic bacteria. Therefore the current study was conducted with an objective to develop a low cost growth medium for enhancing the biomass pro...

This scientific paper determined the microbiological quality of Macedonian white brined cheese. Four best variants cheeses were analysed for their parameters. From pathogenic microflora following parameters examined: a total number Coliforms, E. coli, staphylococci, Molds, Yeast, Listeria and Salmonella. lactic acid bacteria Lactococcus Lactobacillus bacteria. In all examined cheese samples not...

The present research was undertaken to evaluate the sensory profile and consumers' liking of functional ovine cheese containing probiotic cultures. Ovine cheese was made from ewe's milk by animals reared in extensive conditions; cheesemaking trials were performed by using rennet paste containing probiotic cells. Experimental cheeses were denoted: cheese manufactured using lamb rennet paste with...
