Detection of the Potential Inactivation of Tetrodotoxin by Lactic Acid Bacterial Exopolysaccharide

Toxins, 2018
Screening for compounds that can neutralize the toxicity of tetrodotoxin (TTX) or reduce its negative effects is necessary. Our study tested the TTX detoxification capacity of exopolysaccharide (EPS) extracted from lactic acid bacteria.

Beyond “you are what you eat”: Unlocking gut microbiota‐mediated biotransformation of dietary phytochemicals

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.
The “efficacy paradox” of phytochemicals, low bioavailability yet significant health benefits, is associated with gut microbiota, which biotransforms dietary precursors into bioactive metabolites, enabling systemic effects. Thus, health outcomes of diet depend not just on intake “the rainbow”, but on gut microbial metabolism, redefining “you are what ...

Predicted Functional Potentials of Bacterial Communities in Fermented Maize Products From Ghana, Nigeria, and Benin via 16S rRNA Amplicon Sequencing and PICRUSt2

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Publicly available 16S rRNA data from West African fermented maize products were analyzed in QIIME2, profiled with SILVA 138, and functionally predicted using PICRUSt2, revealing Lactobacillus‐dominated microbiomes driving key metabolic pathways in carbohydrate utilization, amino acid metabolism, DNA replication, and cell wall biosynthesis.

A new method for the determination of Leuconostoc mesenteroides cell number [PDF]

, 1995
Dilution needed for plate counts (CFU/ml) is known to disrupt streptococci chains, and therefore the validity of this method is controversial. A novel apparatus was designed to disrupt Leuconostoc mesenteroides chains in pairs, by forcing them to pass ...

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.

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 ...

Gap Analysis of Metabolic Conversions of Off‐Flavors and Antinutrients in Plant‐Based Substrates

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT To drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the food production chain, a major shift towards alternatives to conventional meat and dairy products is required. The use of plant‐based proteins is a promising route, but it also comes with challenges: Plant‐based proteins often contain antinutritional factors and off‐flavors, which can ...
