Factors contributing to the competitiveness of Lactobacillus reuteri in sourdough and rodent gut
DownloadFall 2011
Lactobacillus reuteri is a common organism in cereal-based foods and a gut symbiont in humans and animals, yet the molecular mechanisms allowing its persistence in various niches are not well understood. L. reuteri LTH2584 produces reutericyclin and persists in industrial sourdoughs, where acidic...

Contribution of glutaminase activity in Lactobacillus reuteri to acid resistance and glutamine metabolism in sourdough
DownloadFall 2016
Sourdough is used as an additive in bread production for proper dough volume (leavening), or for desired dough acidity, or for dough texture and bread flavor improvement, or for bread shelf life extension. Lactobacillus reuteri, an intestinal isolate and a stable member of sourdough, prevails in...
