Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are important starter, commensal, or pathogenic microorganisms.
The stress physiology of LAB has been studied in depth for over 2 decades, fueled mostly by …

Here, we review what is known about the microorganisms present in raw milk, including milk
from cows, sheep, goats and humans. Milk, due to its high nutritional content, can support a …

The genus Lactobacillus comprises 261 species (at March 2020) that are extremely diverse
at phenotypic, ecological and genotypic levels. This study evaluated the taxonomy of …

The history of the last 100 years of the science and technology of yogurt, sour cream,
cultured butter, cultured buttermilk, kefir, and acidophilus milk has been one of continuous …

Lactobacillus species are found in nutrient-rich habitats associated with food, feed, plants,
animals and humans. Due to their economic importance, the metabolism, genetics and …

Reductive genomic evolution, driven by genetic drift, is common in endosymbiotic bacteria.
Genome reduction is less common in free-living organisms, but it has occurred in the …

Lactic acid-producing bacteria are associated with various plant and animal niches and play
a key role in the production of fermented foods and beverages. We report nine genome …

Literature covered: early 2000s to late 2017 Bacteria frequently exchange metabolites with
other micro-and macro-organisms. In these often obligate cross-feeding interactions, primary …

Drought stress not only effect the population and activities of microorganisms inhabiting the
rhizosphere but also various physiological and biochemical process in plants that is …

Humans are essentially sterile during gestation, but during and after birth, every body
surface, including the skin, mouth, and gut, becomes host to an enormous variety of …
