Biochemical analysis of respiratory metabolism in the heterofermentative Lactobacillus spicheri and Lactobacillus reuteri
Download2015-01-01
Ianniello, Rocco G., Zheng, Jinshui, Zotta, Teresa, Ricciardi, Annamaria, Gänzle, Michael G.
Aims: This study evaluated the aerobic and respiratory metabolism in Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus spicheri, two heterofermentative species used in sourdough fermentation. Methods and Results: In silico genome analysis, production of metabolites and gene expression of pyruvate oxidase,...

Characterization of α-Galactooligosaccharides formed via Heterologous Expression of α- 2 Galactosidases from Lactobacillus reuteri in Lactococcus lactis
Download2014-01-01
Wang, Yvonne, Black, Brenna A., Curtis, Jonathan M., Gänzle, Michael G.
α-Galacto-oligosaccharides (α-GOS) are produced by transgalactosylation reactions of α-galactosidase (α-Gal) or by conversion of raffinose family oligosaccharides by levansucrase. Similarly to β-GOS, α-GOS have the potential to mimic glycan receptors on eukaryotic cells and act as molecular...

Contribution of glutaminases to glutamine metabolism and acid resistance in Lactobacillus reuteri and other vertebrate host adapted lactobacilli
Download2020-04-01
Li, Qing, Tao, QianYing, Teixeira, Juanana S., Shu-Wei Su, Marcia, Gänzle, Michael G.
The bacterial conversion of glutamine to glutamate is catalyzed by glutamine-amidotransferases or glutaminases. Glutamine deamination contributes to the formation of the bioactive metabolites glutamate, γ-aminobutyrate (GABA) and γ-glutamyl peptides, and to acid resistance. This study aimed to...

Dynamics of Enterobacteriaceae and lactobacilli in model sourdoughs are driven by pH and concentrations of sucrose and ferulic acid
Download2019-01-01
Dinardo, Francesca Rita, Minervini, Fabio, De Angelis, Maria, Gobbetti, Marco, Gänzle, Michael G.
This study aimed to assess, in model sourdough fermentations, the relevance of physico-chemical features of flour for the interactions between Enterobacteriaceae and lactobacilli, and for the interactions within the latter microbial group. Initially, model sourdoughs made with white wheat flour,...

Effect of copy number of the spoVA2mob operon, sourdough and reutericyclin on ropy bread spoilage caused by Bacillus spp.
Download2020-10-01
Li, Zhen, Siepmann, Francieli Begnini, Tovar, Luis E. Rojas, Chen, Xiaoyan, Gänzle, Michael G.
Bacillus spp. cause ropy bread spoilage of bread, which is characterized by a rotten fruity odor, followed by discoloration and degradation of the crumb. Bacillus spp. are wheat grain endophytes and form heat resistant endospores, therefore, process hygiene and heating during baking do not...

Effect of temperature on production of oligosaccharides and dextran by Weissella cibaria 10 M
Download2018-01-01
The formation of HoPS and oligosaccharides in sourdough fermentation improves bread quality but is dependent on the expression of glycansucrases by lactic acid bacteria. Data on the expression of dextransucrases by Weissella spp., however, are limited. This study therefore aimed to assess...

Enzymatic and microbial conversion of flour components during bread making determines bread quality. Metabolism of sourdough microbiota and the activity of cereal enzymes are interdependent. Acidification, oxygen consumption, and thiols accumulation by microbial metabolism modulate the activity...

A standard level of sugar addition to bread is 2% (flour base) but sweet baked goods including hamburger buns, hot dog buns and some sandwich bread contain more than 10% sucrose. This study aimed to provide an integrated assessment of different strategies for sugar-reduced bread by using...

Food fermentations for improved digestibility of plant foods - an essential ex situ digestion step in agricultural societies?
Download2021-01-05
The fermentation of plant foods detoxifies and eliminates compounds that are inherently present in grains and legumes and have antinutritive properties, including cyanogenic glycosides, vicine and convicine, phytate, phenolic compounds, immune-reactive proteins and fermentable oligosaccharides,...

Functional characterization of sucrose phosphorylase and scrR, a regulator of sucrose metabolism in Lactobacillus reuteri
Download2013-01-01
Teixeira, Januana S., Abdi, Reihaneh, Su, Marcia Shu-Wei, Schwab, Clarissa, Gänzle, Michael G.
Lactobacillus reuteri harbours alternative enzymes for sucrose metabolism, sucrose phosphorylase, fructansucrases, and glucansucrases. Sucrose phosphorylase and fructansucrases additionally contribute to raffinose metabolism. Glucansucrases and fructansucrases produce exopolysaccharides as...
