Bridgman, Sarah L., Letourneau, Nicole, Field, Catherine J., Azad, Meghan B., Johnston, David W., Kozyrskyj, Anita L., Kaplan, Bonnie J.
Background Probiotic products that may modify the intestinal microbiota are becoming increasingly available and known to consumers due to their potential to prevent or treat many pediatric health conditions. As scientific knowledge of the health benefits of probiotics increases, it is important...

Mechanisms of hypertriglyceridemia in CTP:phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase (Pcyt2) deficient mice
Download2012
Vine, Donna F., Bakovic, Marica, Singh, Ratnesh K., Fullerton, Morgan D.
Phosphatidylethanolamine is an important inner-leaflet phospholipid, and CTP:phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase-Pcyt2 acts as the main regulator of the de novo phosphatidylethanolamine synthesis from ethanolamine and diacylglycerol. Complete deletion of the mouse Pcyt2 gene is embryonic...

Mechanisms of inactivation of Candida humilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae by pulsed electric fields
Download2017-06-01
Ou, Qi-Xing, Nikolic-Jaric, Marija, Gänzle, Michael
Aims This study aimed to determine how electric field strength, pulse width and shape, and specific energy input relate to the effect of pulsed electric fields (PEF) on viability and membrane permeabilization in Candida humilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae suspended in potassium phosphate...

Mechanisms of pressure-mediated cell death and injury in Escherichia coli: From fundamentals to food applications
Download2015
High hydrostatic pressure is commercially applied to extend the shelf life of foods, and to improve food safety. Current applications operate at ambient temperature and 600 MPa or less. However, bacteria that may resist this pressure level include the pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and strains...

Metabolic flexibility revealed in the genome of the cyst-forming α-1 proteobacterium Rhodospirillum centenum
Download2010
Hao, Jicheng, Rollo, David, Marden, Jeremiah, Stothard, Paul, Kurdoglu, Ahmet A., Kim, Sun, Chowdhury, Sugata R., Mastrian, Stephen D., Swingley, Wesley D., Lu, Yih-Kuang , Touchman, Jeffrey W., Han, Mira, Blankenship, Robert E., Bauer, Carl E., Matthies, Heather J., Helmy,Tamer
Background Rhodospirillum centenum is a photosynthetic non-sulfur purple bacterium that favors growth in an anoxygenic, photosynthetic N2-fixing environment. It is emerging as a genetically amenable model organism for molecular genetic analysis of cyst formation, photosynthesis, phototaxis, and...

Hu, Y., Ketabi, A., Buchko, A., Gänzle, Michael G.
Commercial isomalto‐oligosaccharides (IMO) are functional food ingredients. They are composed of α(1→6)‐ and α(1→4)‐linked oligosaccharides. IMO are partially indigestible, and dietary IMO stimulate beneficial members of intestinal microbiota, including lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. However,...

Follador, Rainer, Gänzle, Michael G.
Oligosaccharides, compounds that are composed of 2–10 monosaccharide residues, are major carbohydrate sources in habitats populated by lactobacilli. Moreover, oligosaccharide metabolism is essential for ecological fitness of lactobacilli. Disaccharide metabolism by lactobacilli is well...

Ripari, Valery, Bai, Yunpeng, Gänzle, Michael G.
This work aimed to study the phenolic acid metabolism of sourdough lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in laboratory media, and in sourdough fermentation with single cultures and in co-fermentations. Lactobacilli were selected from isolates obtained from 35 sourdough samples. Isolates (114 strains) were...

Metabolism of phenolic compounds by Lactobacillus spp. during fermentation of cherry juice and broccoli puree
Download2015-04-01
Filannino, Pasquale, Bai, Yunpeng, Di Cagno, Raffaela, Gobbetti, Marco, Gänzle, Michael G.
This study aimed to investigate the metabolism of phenolic acids and flavonoids during lactic acid fermentation of cherry juice and broccoli puree for potential food and pharmaceutical purposes. When fermenting cherry juice and broccoli puree, Lactobacillus spp. exhibited strain-specific...

Metabolomic study of stress responses leading to plant resistance in mandarin fruit mediated by preventive applications of Bacillus subtilis cyclic lipopeptides
Download2019-10-01
Tunsagool, Paiboon, Wang, Xiohang, Leelasuphakul, Wichitra, Jutidamrongphan, Warangkana, Phaonakrop, Narumon, Jaresitthikunchai, Janthima, Roytrakul, Sittiruk, Chen, Guanqun, Li, Liang
Although green mold rot caused by Penicillium digitatum is a major postharvest disease in mandarin fruit, the fruit’s defense mechanism at the metabolomic level is largely unknown. Here, the expressed metabolome network leading to plant resistance to stresses induced by exposing of different...
