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 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...

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...

n-3 fatty acids inhibit transcription of human IL-13: Implications for development of T helper type 2 immune responses
Download2013
Cameron, Lisa, Madsen, Norman, MacLean, Emily, Vliagoftis, Harissios, Field, Catherine J.
Fish oil supplementation during pregnancy has been associated with lower levels of cord blood IL-13, suggesting that the administration of n-3 fatty acids may attenuate the development of allergic disease. The present study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which n-3 fatty acid administration...

Novel two-component regulatory systems play a role in biofilm formation of Lactobacillus reuteri rodent isolate 100-23
Download2014-01-01
Su, Marcia Shu-Wei, Gänzle, Michael G.
his study characterized the two-component regulatory systems encoded by bfrKRT and cemAKR, and assessed their influence on biofilm formation by Lactobacillus reuteri 100-23. A method for deletion of multiple genes was employed to disrupt the genetic loci of two-component systems. The operons...

Prebiotics, FODMAPs and dietary fiber - conflicting concepts in development of functional food products?
Download2018-01-01
Yan, Ya Lu, Hu, Ying, Gänzle, Michael G.
The term prebiotic relates to beneficial modulation of intestinal microbiota by dietary carbohydrates, however, uncertainties of the differentiation of the term 'prebiotics' from dietary fiber as well as FODMAPs impede development of functional foods containing prebiotics. This communication...

Prenatal micronutrient supplementation and postpartum depressive symptoms in a pregnancy cohort
Download2013
Tough, Suzanne, Gomez, Mariel F., Eliasziw, Misha, Gagnon, Lisa, Field, Catherine J., Kaplan, Bonnie J., Leung, Brenda M., McCargar, Linda
Background Postpartum depression is a serious problem for women and their offspring. Micronutrient supplements are recommended for pregnant women because of their documented protective effects for the offspring, but their potential beneficial effects on maternal mental health are unknown. This...
