Lactic acid bacteria as functional starter cultures for the food fermentation industry
Frédéric Leroy,Luc De Vuyst +1 more
TLDR
New starter cultures of lactic acid bacteria with an industrially important functionality are being developed that can contribute to the microbial safety or offer one or more organoleptic, technological, nutritional, or health advantages.Abstract:
The production of fermented foods is based on the use of starter cultures, for instance lactic acid bacteria that initiate rapid acidification of the raw material. Recently, new starter cultures of lactic acid bacteria with an industrially important functionality are being developed. The latter can contribute to the microbial safety or offer one or more organoleptic, technological, nutritional, or health advantages. Examples are lactic acid bacteria that produce antimicrobial substances, sugar polymers, sweeteners, aromatic compounds, vitamins, or useful enzymes, or that have probiotic properties.read more

Nucleic acid-based approaches to investigate microbial-related cheese quality defects
Daniel J. O'Sullivan,Linda Giblin,Paul L.H. McSweeney,Jeremiah J. Sheehan,Paul D. Cotter,Paul D. Cotter +5 more
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.

The complex microbiota of raw milk
Lisa Quigley,Lisa Quigley,Orla O'Sullivan,Catherine Stanton,Tom P. Beresford,R. Paul Ross,Gerald F. Fitzgerald,Paul D. Cotter +7 more
TL;DR: There is concern that the presence of antibiotic residues in milk leads to the development of resistance, particularly among pathogenic bacteria, and the approaches, both culture-dependent and culture-independent, which can be taken to investigate the microbial composition of milk are compared.

Proteolytic systems of lactic acid bacteria
TL;DR: This review provides the current status in the research of proteolytic systems of LAB with industrial relevance and indicates that the current knowledge on stress-related proteolysis in LAB is almost exclusively based on studies on L. lactis.

Isolation of Tyrosine Decarboxylaseless Mutants of a Bacteriocin-Producing Enterococcus faecalis Strain and Their Application in Cheese
TL;DR: Enterococcus faecalis INIA 4, a bacteriocin-producing strain, was exposed to the mutagenic agent ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) and a modified differential plating medium permitted the isolation of mutants IN-01 to 4-09 with reduced tyrosine decarboxylase activity.
