Journal ArticleDOI

Nucleic acid-based approaches to investigate microbial-related cheese quality defects

TL;DR: The DNA-based methods that are available to detect/quantify spoilage bacteria, and relevant metabolic pathways in cheeses are reviewed and it is highlighted how these strategies can be employed to improve cheese quality and reduce the associated economic burden on cheese processors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative genomics of the lactic acid bacteria

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses, comparison of gene content across the group, and reconstruction of ancestral gene sets indicate a combination of extensive gene loss and key gene acquisitions via horizontal gene transfer during the coevolution of lactic acid bacteria with their habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Traits of fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. involved in suppression of plant root pathogens.

TL;DR: The understanding of the relevant characteristics will facilitate the direct selection and/or construction of strains which will perform under a variety of environmental conditions, and facilitate attempts aimed at the improvement of strains based on deregulating pathways or introducing traits from one strain to another.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid Mini-Prep Isolation of High-Quality Plasmid DNA from Lactococcus and Lactobacillus spp.

TL;DR: A simple, rapid plasmid mini-prep procedure for lactococci and lactobacilli which gives high yields and can be performed on overnight broth cultures is presented, suitable for routine plasmids isolation from lactic acid bacteria.
