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...

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...

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...

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...

Spring 2016
Sourdough fermentation can generate various peptides and amino acids to improve bread quality, such as taste, flavor and texture. The aim of this PhD dissertation was to investigate the synthesis mechanisms of bioactive and taste active peptides or amino acids during fermentation and their effect...

Degradation of Wheat Germ Agglutinin and Amylase-Trypsin Inhibitors During Sourdough Fermentation
DownloadFall 2020
Non Celiac Wheat Sensitivity (NCWS), an intolerance to the ingestion of wheat products, has increased considerably during the past few years. In sensitive individuals, NCWS manifests by intestinal and extra intestinal symptoms in different ways. Two wheat protein fractions have been linked 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...

2014-01-01
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...
