Interactions between lactobacillus and yeast: A recent update

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Lactobacillus and yeast are microorganisms widely distributed in nature. Their interactions significantly impact fermentation processes, human health, and medical care. However, there is a lack of a systematic summary of the characteristics of these interactions, and the mechanisms underlying these interactions remain unclear.

Production of Exopolysaccharide by Lactobacillus plantarum and the Prebiotic Activity of the Exopolysaccharide

Food Science and Technology Research, 2010
Characteristics of an exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by a mutant strain of Lactobacillus plantarum, strain 301102S, including yield from whey, monosaccharide analysis, and prebiotic activity, were investigated. The EPS production in whey was higher at 25°C than at 30 and 37°C. The supplementation with yeast extract and glucose in whey gave a high EPS

Isolation and identification of lactic acid bacteria from anna apple cultivar (Malus domestica var. Anna) as potential exopolysaccharide producer [PDF]

Food and Feed Research
Exopolysaccharides are a type of polysaccharide produced by various bacteria through cellular excretion. Lactic acid bacteria-produced exopolysaccharide has comparable physicochemical properties to certain plant polysaccharides such as guar gum or pectin.

Chemistry Underlying the Behavior of Food and Agricultural Components During Industrial Manufacturing Processes and Its Implications in Quality Assurance, Food Quality, and Food Safety Management: A Systematic Review

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Industrial manufacturing processes have transformative effects on the components of food matrix. These transformations in food matrix and components have direct implications for quality assurance (QA), food quality (e.g., nutritional profile and texture), and food safety management (e.g., pathogen control and toxin mitigation). ABSTRACT This systematic

Structural characterisation of the highly branched exopolysaccharide produced by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus NCFB2074

, 2005
Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus NCFB2074 when grown in skimmed milk secretes a highly branched exopolysaccharide. The exopolysaccharide has a heptasaccharide repeat unit and is composed of glucose and galactose in the molar ratio 3:4.

Modulation of biofilm exopolysaccharides by the Streptococcus mutans vicX gene

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The cariogenic pathogen Streptococcus mutans effectively utilizes dietary sucrose for the synthesis of exopolysaccharide, which act as a scaffold for its biofilm, thus contributing to its pathogenicity, environmental stress tolerance, and antimicrobial ...

Potential of Seaweed to Improve the Quality and Shelf Life of Fish and Fishery Products

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Growing global demand for safe fish preservation has increased interest in natural alternatives. Seaweed‐derived bioactive compounds possess antioxidant and antimicrobial properties that enhance fish quality, safety, and shelf life. These sustainable preservatives may reduce spoilage and synthetic preservative use, though further research ...

The Effect of Cellulose Overproduction on Binding and Biofilm Formation on Roots by Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2005
Agrobacterium tumefaciens growing in liquid attaches to the surface of tomato and Arabidopsis thaliana roots, forming a biofilm. The bacteria also colonize roots grown in sterile quartz sand.

Identification of the Clostridial cellulose synthase and characterization of the cognate glycosyl hydrolase, CcsZ.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Biofilms are community structures of bacteria enmeshed in a self-produced matrix of exopolysaccharides. The biofilm matrix serves numerous roles, including resilience and persistence, making biofilms a subject of research interest among persistent ...
