Journal ArticleDOI

Cell to cell communication by autoinducing peptides in gram-positive bacteria.

TL;DR: An overview of the characteristics of autoinducing peptide-based quorum sensing systems, their application in various gram-positive bacteria, and the discovery of new systems in natural and engineered ecosystems is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

High temporal and inter-individual variation detected in the human ileal microbiota

TL;DR: The results indicate that the microbiota of the human ileum is relatively unstable, less complex and consisting of different dominating phylotypes when compared with the colonic microbiota.
Journal ArticleDOI

Controlled gene expression systems for lactic acid bacteria: transferable nisin-inducible expression cassettes for Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, and Lactobacillus spp.

TL;DR: A transferable dual-plasmid inducible gene expression system for use in lactic acid bacteria that is based on the autoregulatory properties of the antimicrobial peptide nisin produced by Lactococcus lactis was developed as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exopolysaccharides produced by lactic acid bacteria: from health-promoting benefits to stress tolerance mechanisms

TL;DR: The beneficial properties of exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by LAB are summarized, focusing on advantageous applications of EPS in the food industry, i.e., yogurt and gluten-free bakery products, since it was found that these microbial biopolymers positively affect the texture of foods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenotypic and genomic diversity of Lactobacillus plantarum strains isolated from various environmental niches.

TL;DR: An extensive phenotypic and genomic diversity analysis was conducted to elucidate the molecular basis of the high flexibility and versatility of this species and lead to a better comprehension of niche adaptation and functionality of the organism.
