Structure-function relationships of bacterial and enzymatically produced reuterans and dextran in sourdough bread baking application
Download2015-12-19
Chen, Xiao Yan, Levy, Clemens, Gänzle, Michael G.
Exopolysaccharides from lactic acid bacteria may improve texture and shelf life of bread. The effect of exopolysaccharides on bread quality, however, depends on properties of the EPS and the EPS producing strain. This study investigated structure-function relationships of EPS in baking...

Teixeira, Januana S., Maier, Maximilian B., Miller, Petr, Gänzle, Michael G., McMullen, Lynn M.
This study investigated the effect of growth temperature (8–32 °C), process temperature (−17 to 32 °C), and sodium chloride concentration (0–3 %) on the lethality of pressure to Listeria monocytogenes. Pressure treatments were performed using a 5-strain cocktail of L. monocytogenes. Cultures...

The locus of heat resistance (LHR) mediates heat resistance in Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli and Enterobacter cloacae

Mercer, Ryan G., Walker, Brian D., Yang, Xianqin, McMullen, Lynn M., Gänzle, Michael G.
Enterobacteriaceae comprise food spoilage organisms as well as food-borne pathogens including Escherichia coli. Heat resistance in E. coli was attributed to a genomic island called the locus of heat resistance (LHR). This genomic island is also present in several other genera of...

Baracos, Vickie, Dieleman, Levinus, Farhangfar, Arazm, Lin, Xiaoxi B., Gänzle, Michael G., Sawyer, Michael B., Valcheva, Rosica, Schieber, Andreas
CPT-11 is a drug used as chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. CPT-11 causes toxic side-effects in patients. CPT-11 toxicity has been attributed to the activity of intestinal microbiota, however, intestinal microbiota may also have protective effects in CP!-11 chemotherapy. This study aimed to...

Transcriptome microRNA profiling of bovine mammary epithelial cells challenged with Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus aureus bacteria reveals pathogen directed microRNA expression profiles
Download2014
Zhao, Xin, Liang, Guanxiang, Jin, Weiwu, Guan, Leluo, Beaudoin, Frédéric, Ibeagha-Awemu, Eveline M.
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression and have been shown to be critical regulators to the fine-tuning of epithelial immune responses. However, the role of miRNAs in bovine responses to E. coli and S. aureus, two mastitis causing pathogens, is not well...

Xylo-oligosaccharides and virginiamycin differentially modulate gut microbial composition in chickens
Download2015
Zhao, Xin, Pourabedin, Mohsen, Guan, Leluo
Background The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance in pathogens have led to a restriction on the use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in animal feed in some countries. The potential negative after-effects of a ban on AGPs could be mitigated by improving animal intestinal health...
