Metagenomic analysis of the microbial community in kefir grains

Food Microbiology, 2014
Kefir grains as a probiotic have been subject to microbial community identification using culture-dependent and independent methods that target specific strains in the community, or that are based on limited 16S rRNA analysis. We performed whole genome shotgun pyrosequencing using two Turkish Kefir grains.

Architecture and Evolution of Prokaryotic Multicellularity: Common Patterns and Diversity

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Prokaryotes form diverse multicellular structures, like biofilms, filaments, and aggregates, comprising hallmark traits such as adhesion, communication, differentiation, and programmed cell death. This review explores how these forms develop, function, and evolve in response to environmental cues.

The Effect of Microbiome‐Modulating Therapeutics on Anthropometric and Hemodynamic Biomarkers in Metabolic Syndrome: A Systematic Review, Meta‐Analysis, and Meta‐Regression of Clinical Trials

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a prevalent cardiometabolic disorder characterized by central obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Microbiome‐targeted therapies with probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics may improve outcomes by modulating metabolism, inflammation, and blood pressure.

Use of reconstituted kefir consortia to determine the impact of microbial composition on kefir metabolite profiles [PDF]

, 2023
Kefir is fermented traditionally with kefir grains, but commercial kefir production often relies on fermentation with planktonic cultures. Kefir has been associated with many health benefits, however, the utilization of kefir grains to facilitate large ...

Plant‐Derived Probiotics From Fermented Foods: Current Evidence on Antiviral Mechanisms and Gut–Lung Axis Modulation

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 6, November 2026.
Plant‐derived probiotics from fermented foods exert anti‐respiratory virus effects via immune regulation, antiviral metabolites, and gut–lung axis, highlighting their advantages, key technologies, and application prospects. ABSTRACT Respiratory viral infections represent a major global public health threat, causing widespread morbidity, mortality, and ...

Kefir grains as a starter for whey fermentation at different temperatures: chemical and microbiological characterisation

, 2012
We report here a comparative analysis of the growth, acidification capacity, and chemical and microbiologic composition between kefir grains after 20 subcultures in whey at 20, 30, and 37 °C and the original kefir grains coming from milk along with a ...

Microbial Profiling, Metabolic Adaptation, and Growth Kinetic Modeling of Intact and Mechanically Damaged Milk Kefir Grains During Successive Batch Fermentations

Journal of Food Process Engineering, Volume 49, Issue 11, November 2026.
Kefir grains were propagated through successive batch fermentation cycles and evaluated for biomass growth, metabolic adaptation, microbial community shifts, and growth kinetics. Mechanical damage reduced biomass regeneration, while the reduced Baranyi model provided the best description of growth dynamics.
