Kefir: A Potential Gut Microbiota Modulator: A Systematic Review of Human Interventional Studies

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Daily cow's milk kefir intake transiently enriches gut microbiota, modulates the intestinal environment by increasing SCFA and reducing pH and oxygen, and exerts antimicrobial effects via SCFAs, bacteriocins, exopolysaccharides, and microbial fractions, highlighting its potential for gut health promotion.

Distinct Bacterial Communities in São Jorge Cheese with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO)

Foods, 2023
São Jorge cheese is an iconic product of the Azores, produced from raw cow’s milk and natural whey starter (NWS). Although it is produced according to Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) specifications, the granting of the PDO label depends crucially ...

Genomic Characterization of Dairy Associated Leuconostoc Species and Diversity of Leuconostocs in Undefined Mixed Mesophilic Starter Cultures

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Undefined mesophilic mixed (DL-type) starter cultures are composed of predominantly Lactococcus lactis subspecies and 1–10% Leuconostoc spp. The composition of the Leuconostoc population in the starter culture ultimately affects the characteristics and ...

Fermentation and Enzymatic Pre‐Treatments to Modulate Sensory Properties of Extruded Plant‐Based Meat Alternatives

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.
Fermentation, enzymatic hydrolysis, and enzymatic crosslinking are emerging pre‐treatments to improve the sensory properties of extruded plant‐based meat alternatives. This review critically examines current literature to identify underlying mechanisms, benefits, and key research gaps associated with these pre‐treatments.

Vancomycin-Resistant Streptococci or Leuconostoc sp [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1985
Two strains of gram-positive cocci highly resistant to vancomycin (MICs of 512 and 1,024 micrograms/ml) were isolated from blood cultures in two compromised patients. These organisms were identified as Leuconostoc spp. Leuconostoc spp. are gram-positive cocci found in vegetables and dairy products; they had not been isolated previously from clinical ...

Purine and pyrimidine bases as growth substances for lactic acid bacteria [PDF]

, 1941
In 1936 Richardson (1) showed that uracil was essential for the anaerobic growth of Staphylococcus aureus, but not for aerobic growth of the same organism.

Integrative Insights Into Bioactive Peptides in Milk Fermented With Autochthonous and Commercial Cultures Using High‐Throughput Peptidomics and Machine Learning

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
This article highlights the crucial role of starter culture selection in shaping the peptide profile of fermented dairy drinks. Using high‐throughput peptidome profiling, the study demonstrates that different starter cultures yield distinct quantities and types of bioactive peptides, with excessive microbial combinations potentially reducing peptide ...

Neonatal Leuconostoc lactis meningitis

International Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics, 2021
Leuconostoc lactis has a low potential for human infection, although serious infections have been documented in immunocompromised persons. The source of this organism is a dairy product. A 3-day old neonate was presented with multifocal clonic seizures who were given formula feed from birth.

The Dairy Ruminant Gut Microbiome: Profile, Responsiveness to Seasonality and Impact on Milk Quality

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 5, May 2026.
The dairy ruminant gut microbiome that is shaped by host and diet is affected by seasonality and rearing. These factors can impact dairy productivity and milk quality potentially through the gut microbiota. ABSTRACT The gut microbiome (GM) and particularly the rumen microbiome (RM) affect the ruminant health and they are associated with milk quality ...

Natural Lactic Acid Bacteria Population and Silage Fermentation of Whole-crop Wheat [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2015
Winter wheat is a suitable crop to be ensiled for animal feed and China has the largest planting area of this crop in the world. During the ensiling process, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play the most important role in the fermentation. We investigated the
