Genomic Analysis and In Vitro Investigation of the Hop Resistance Phenotype of Two Novel Loigolactobacillus backii Strains, Isolated from Spoiled Beer

Despoina Eugenia Kiousi et al.

Summary: This study presents the annotated whole genome sequence of two strains of Loigolactobacillus backii, a beer-spoiling bacteria with high hop tolerance. The genetic basis and adaptation of the strains in the brewery environment were studied, revealing their ability to survive and grow in the presence of hop compounds. The findings provide insights into the mechanisms behind the tolerance of Lg. backii to extreme conditions in the brewery.

Genetic and phenotypic assessment of the antimicrobial activity of three potential probiotic lactobacilli against human enteropathogenic bacteria

Despoina Eugenia Kiousi et al.

Summary: This study examined the antimicrobial and antibiofilm properties of Lactiplantibacillus pentosus L33, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum L125, and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei SP5 against clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enterica, and Escherichia coli. The results showed that these three lactobacilli were able to inhibit the growth and biofilm formation of the pathogens. Gene expression analysis and sequence prediction also revealed their ability to produce functional bacteriocins.

Microbial Fermentation for Improving the Sensory, Nutritional and Functional Attributes of Legumes

Dhananga Senanayake et al.

Summary: The rapidly growing population, resource scarcity, and future sustainability of the food supply are major concerns for the food industry. Legumes have the potential to be ideal future food crops due to their rich nutrient profile, cost-effective production, and resource usage efficiency. However, there are limitations associated with legumes in terms of their sensory, nutritional, and functional properties. This review focuses on the use of fermentation as a strategy to overcome these challenges and discusses its potential application in modifying the techno-functional properties of legume substrates.

The Clash of Microbiomes: From the Food Matrix to the Host Gut

Despoina Eugenia Kiousi et al.

Summary: Food fermentation has improved the safety and organoleptic characteristics of raw materials, and the potential health benefits of these products have attracted scientific attention. However, only a few products have been authorized as 'functional foods' due to data inconsistency and lack of in-depth preclinical characterization. Omics platforms and bioinformatic algorithms offer comprehensive data analysis of microbe-microbe, microbe-matrix, and microbe-host interactions, providing insights for maximizing their beneficial effects. Integrating these platforms into food science remains a challenge, but coordinated efforts and interdisciplinary collaboration can drive the field towards a new era.

Selection of Lactiplantibacillus Strains for the Production of Fermented Table Olives

Teresa Zotta et al.

Summary: This study evaluated Lactiplantibacillus strains for their technological properties relevant to the production of fermented table olives. The strains exhibited high diversity, with most of them capable of fermenting xylose. EPS production and antimicrobial activity varied among strains. The strains also showed strain-specific resistance to phenolic compounds and the ability to release hydroxytyrosol. Additionally, the strains displayed tolerance to simulated gastro-intestinal tract conditions and exhibited strain-dependent radical scavenging activity and biofilm formation.

Bacterial community dynamics explain carbon mineralization and assimilation in soils of different land-use history

Samuel E. Barnett et al.

Summary: Soil dwelling microorganisms play a crucial role in the carbon cycle by both degrading and stabilizing soil organic matter. However, the factors that drive the variation in bacterial community structure and function with respect to land use are still poorly understood. In this study, a multi-substrate DNA stable isotope probing experiment was conducted to examine the dynamics of bacterial growth and carbon assimilation in different land-use habitats. The results showed that carbon mineralization, community composition, and carbon assimilation dynamics all varied with land use. Furthermore, microbial community dynamics were found to influence carbon assimilation dynamics and were associated with soil DNA content. The findings suggest that soil DNA yield, which is easily measurable, may be a useful indicator for predicting microbial community dynamics related to soil carbon cycling.

Establishment of a polymerase chain reaction-based method for strain-level management of Enterococcus faecalis EF-2001 using species-specific sequences identified by whole genome sequences

Hiroshi Hamamoto et al.

Summary: Controlling and managing bacterial species is crucial in the development and manufacture of fermented foods. A research study successfully identified specific fermentation strains by comparing their genome sequences. A PCR method was designed to amplify DNA fragments of these specific strains under different conditions. This method is simple, accurate, and helpful in controlling the quality of fermented foods.
