Biogenic amines (BAs) are produced by microbial decarboxylation in various foods. Histamine and tyramine are recognized as the most toxic of all BAs. Applying degrading amine enzymes such as multicopper oxidase (MCO) is considered an effective method to reduce BAs in food systems. This study analyzed the characterization of heterologously expressed...

Introduction Domestic poultry is a natural reservoir of Campylobacter, the host–pathogen interaction being predominantly asymptomatic. This study investigated whether chickens remain asymptomatic partly because of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Material and Methods Campylobacter spp. and LAB were isolated from the gut of poultry chickens using enrichm...

Lactic acid bacteria that inhabit in the lung play important roles in maintaining the microbiome balance by interacting with the host immune system. Numerous metabolites (e.g., short chain fatty acids, bacteriocins, and hydrogen peroxide) produced by Lactobacillus sakei possess a special inhibitory spectrum against invading pathogens. In this resea...

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the influence of different indigenous lactic acid bacteria isolates - as a single culture or bacterial consortium - on the functional and physicochemical properties of fermented curly kale juice. All tested variants exhibited good growth parameters, manifested by efficient pH lowering, increases in acidity, and...

The objective of this work was to develop a chitosan/agar-agar bioplastic film incorporated with bacteriocin that presents active potential when used as food packaging. The formulation of the film solution was determined from an experimental design, through the optimization using the desirability function. After establishing the concentrations of t...
Obesity is a major public health problem related to various chronic health conditions. Lactobacillus species has been reported in obese individuals; however, its role is unknown. We compared the abundance and composition of Lactobacillus species by analyzing feces from 64 healthy control subjects and 88 obese subjects. We isolated one Lactobacillus...

Dry aging is a traditional method that improves meat quality, and diverse microbial communities are changed during the process. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are widely present in fermented foods and has many beneficial effects, such as immune enhancement and maintenance of intestinal homeostasis. In this study, we conducted metagenomic analysis to ev...

Spheroids of intestinal cells (Caco-2) were used to evaluate the adhesion/invasion ability of Listeria monocytogenes (pathogen) and Lactobacillus sakei 1 (potential probiotic). Besides, transcriptomic analyses of Caco-2 cells in three dimensional cultures were done, with the aim of revealing possible host-foodborne bacteria interactions. Result of ...

Alginate microspheres loaded with two fermentation active agents, calcium cations and strain LS0296 identified as Lactobacillus sakei, have been prepared and characterized. The role of calcium cation is twofold, it acts as gelling cation and as fermentation active agent. Encapsulation and the presence of calcium ions in the same compartment do not ...
