Zheng, Jinshui, Wittouck, Stijn, Salvetti, Elisa, Franz, Charles M.A.P., Harris, Hugh M.B., Mattarelli, Paola, O'Toole, Paul W., Pot, Bruno, Vandamme, Peter, Walter, Jens, Watanabe, Koichi, Wuyts, Sander, Felis, Giovanna E., Gänzle, Michael G., Lebeer, Sarah
The genus Lactobacillus comprises 261 species (at March 2020) that are extremely diverse at phenotypic, ecological and genotypic levels. This study evaluated the taxonomy of Lactobacillaceae and Leuconostocaceae on the basis of whole genome sequences. Parameters that were evaluated included core...

African cereal fermentations: A review on fermentation processes and microbial composition of non-alcoholic fermented cereal foods and beverages
Download2022-10-02
Pswarayi, Felicitas, Gänzle, Michael G.
Africa has a rich tradition of cereal fermentations to produce diverse products including baked goods, porridges, non-alcoholic beverages and alcoholic beverages. Diversity also relates to the choice of the fermentation substrates, which include wheat, maize, teff, sorghum and millet, and the...

Willing, Benjamin P., Finlay, B. Brett , Thanachayanont, Teerawat, Croxen, Matthew, Vacharaksa, Anjalee
Host resistance to bacterial infections is thought to be dictated by host genetic factors. Infections by the natural murine enteric pathogen Citrobacter rodentium (used as a model of human enteropathogenic and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli infections) vary between mice strains, from mild...

Antimicrobial plant secondary metabolites, MDR transporters and antimicrobial resistance in cereal-associated lactobacilli: is there a connection?
Download2022-04-01
Pswarayi, Felicitas, Qiao, Nanzhen, Guar, Guatam, Gänzle, Michael
Cereal-associated lactobacilli resist antimicrobial plant secondary metabolites. This study aimed to identify multi-drug-resistance (MDR) transporters in isolates from mahewu, a Zimbabwean fermented cereal beverage, and to determine whether these MDR-transporters relate to resistance against...

Campylobacter jejuni colonization is associated with a dysbiosis in the cecal microbiota of mice in the absence of prominent inflammation
Download2013
Selinger, L. Brent, Inglis, G. Douglas, Uwiera, Richard R. E., Lone, Abdul, Xu, Yong
Background Campylobacter jejuni causes enterocolitis in humans, but does not incite disease in asymptomatic carrier animals. To survive in the intestine, C. jejuni must successfully compete with the microbiota and overcome the host immune defense. Campylobacter jejuni colonization success varies...

Characterization of isogenic mutants with single or double deletions of four phenolic acid esterases in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum TMW1.460
Download2023-03-02
Gaur, Gautam, Chen, Chen, Gänzle, Michael G.
In plants, hydroxycinnamic and hydroxybenzoic acids occur mainly as esters. This study aimed to determine the contribution of individual phenolic acid esterases in Lp. plantarum TMW1.460, which encodes for four esterases: TanA, Lp0796, Est1092 and a homolog of Lj0536 and Lj1228 that was termed...

Chemically defined diet alters the protective properties of fructo-oligosaccharides and isomalto-oligosaccharides in HLA-B27 transgenic rats
Download2014
Koleva, Petya, Ketabi, Ali, Dieleman, Levinus A., Gänzle, Michael G., Valcheva, Rosica
Non-digestible oligosaccharides (NDO) were shown to reduce inflammation in experimental colitis, but it remains unclear whether microbiota changes mediate their colitis-modulating effects. This study assessed intestinal microbiota and intestinal inflammation after feeding chemically defined...

Conversion of hydroxycinnamic acids by Furfurilactobacillus milii in sorghum fermentations: Impact on profile of phenolic compounds in sorghum and on ecological fitness of Ff. milii
Download2023-05-01
Gaur, Gautam, Damm, Sandra, Passon, Maike, Lo, Hiu Kwan, Schieber Andreas, Gänzle, Michael G.
The conversion of phenolic compounds by lactobacilli in food fermentations contributes to food quality. The metabolism of phenolics by lactobacilli has been elucidated in the past years but information on the contribution of specific enzymes in food fermentations remains scarce. This study aimed...

Development of ruminal and fecal microbiomes are affected by weaning but not weaning strategy in dairy calves
Download2016
Khafipour, Ehsan, Steele, Michael A., Meale, Sarah J., Plaizier, Jan C., Li, Shucong, Derakhshani, Hooman, Azevedo, Paula
The nature of weaning, considered the most stressful and significant transition experienced by dairy calves, influences the ability of a calf to adapt to the dramatic dietary shift, and thus, can influence the severity of production losses through the weaning transition. However, the effects of...

Diet and environment shape fecal bacterial microbiota composition and enteric pathogen load of grizzly bears
Download2011-01-01
Northrup, Joseph M., Cristescu, Bogdan, Schwab, Clarissa, Stenhouse, Gordon B., Gänzle, Michael G.
Background Diet and environment impact the composition of mammalian intestinal microbiota; dietary or health disturbances trigger alterations in intestinal microbiota composition and render the host susceptible to enteric pathogens. To date no long term monitoring data exist on the fecal...
