Probiotic Lactobacilli Do Not Protect Chickens against Salmonella Enteritidis Infection by Competitive Exclusion in the Intestinal Tract but in Feed, Outside the Chicken Host

Microorganisms, 2022
Lactobacilli are commonly used as probiotics in poultry to improve production parameters and to increase chicken resistance to enteric infections. However, lactobacilli do not efficiently colonise the chicken intestinal tract, and also, their anti ...

Host Species Adaptation of Obligate Gut Anaerobes Is Dependent on Their Environmental Survival

Microorganisms, 2022
The gut microbiota of warm-blooded vertebrates consists of bacterial species belonging to two main phyla; Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. However, does it mean that the same bacterial species are found in humans and chickens?

Eggshell and Feed Microbiota Do Not Represent Major Sources of Gut Anaerobes for Chickens in Commercial Production

Microorganisms, 2021
In this study, we addressed the origin of chicken gut microbiota in commercial production by a comparison of eggshell and feed microbiota with caecal microbiota of 7-day-old chickens, using microbiota analysis by 16S rRNA sequencing.

Microbial Succession in the Cheese Ripening Process—Competition of the Starter Cultures and the Microbiota of the Cheese Plant Environment

Microorganisms, 2023
A large variety of cheeses can be produced using different manufacturing processes and various starter or adjunct cultures. In this study, we have described the succession of the microbial population during the commercial production and subsequent ...

Coercivity enhancement of hot-deformed NdFeB magnet by doping R80Al20 (R = La, Ce, Dy, Tb) alloy powders

AIP Advances, 2021
Significant enhancement in coercivity for hot deformed (HD) NdFeB magnets is achieved by doping R80Al20 (R= La, Ce, Dy, Tb) alloy powders. All studied samples exhibit fine microstructure with good (00L) texture.
