Journal ArticleDOI
Surface microflora of four smear-ripened cheeses.
Jérôme Mounier,Roberto Gelsomino,Stefanie Goerges,Marc Vancanneyt,Katrien Vandemeulebroecke,Bart Hoste,Siegfried Scherer,Jean Swings,Gerald F. Fitzgerald,Timothy M. Cogan +9 more
TL;DR: The importance of the adventitious, resident microflora in the ripening of smear cheeses is confirmed, based on the different PFGE patterns and mtDNA RFLP profiles of the dominant bacterial and yeast species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life Under Stress: The Probiotic Stress Response and How it may be Manipulated
TL;DR: This review attempts to catalogue the cellular processes available to probiotic bacteria to facilitate survival in stressful conditions, and to speculate on how manipulation of these cellular systems can lead to production of designer strains with enhanced viability in food systems and efficacy following ingestion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of bifidobacterial evolution using a multilocus approach
Marco Ventura,Marco Ventura,Carlos Canchaya,Antonio Del Casale,Franco Dellaglio,Erasmo Neviani,Gerald F. Fitzgerald,Douwe van Sinderen +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, fragments from seven conserved genes were sequenced from each of the currently described type strains of the genus Bifidobacteria, and concatenation of these seven gene sequences for phylogenetic purposes allows a significant increase in the discriminatory power between taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of dietary fatty acids on metabolic activity and host intestinal microbiota composition in C57BL/6J mice
Elaine Patterson,Robert Doherty,Eileen F. Murphy,Rebecca Wall,Orla O’ Sullivan,Kanishka N. Nilaweera,Gerald F. Fitzgerald,Paul D. Cotter,R. Paul Ross,Catherine Stanton +9 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that both the quantity and quality of fat have an impact on host physiology with further downstream alterations to the intestinal microbiota population, with a HF diet supplemented with flaxseed/fish oil positively shaping the host microbial ecosystem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative and Functional Analysis of Sortase-Dependent Proteins in the Predicted Secretome of Lactobacillus salivarius UCC118
Jan-Peter van Pijkeren,Carlos Canchaya,Kieran A. Ryan,Yin Li,Marcus J. Claesson,B. Sheil,Lothar Steidler,Liam O'Mahony,Gerald F. Fitzgerald,Douwe van Sinderen,Paul W. O'Toole +10 more
TL;DR: A comparative bioinformatic analysis of four publicly available Lactobacillus genomes and the genome of L. salivarius strain UCC118 was performed to identify secreted proteins and those linked to the cell wall.
