Relationships among house, rind and core microbiotas during manufacture of traditional Italian cheeses at the same dairy plant
(2016)This study was aimed at establishing the relationships between house, rind and core microbiotas of cheese varieties manufactured at the same industrial dairy plant. Caciotta and Caciocavallo Pugliese cheeses were chosen ... -
Functional proteomics within the genus Lactobacillus
(2016)Lactobacillus are mainly used for the manufacture of fermented dairy, sourdough, meat, and vegetable foods or used as probiotics. Under optimal processing conditions, Lactobacillus strains contribute to food functionality ... -
High-level adherence to a Mediterranean diet beneficially impacts the gut microbiota and associated metabolome
(2016)Objectives Habitual diet plays a major role in shaping the composition of the gut microbiota, and also determines the repertoire of microbial metabolites that can influence the host. The typical Western diet corresponds ... -
Exploitation of Leuconostoc mesenteroides strains to improve shelf life, rheological, sensory and functional features of prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica L.) fruit puree
(2016)Strains of Leuconostoc mesenteroides were identified from raw prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica L.). Five autochthonous strains were selected based on the kinetics of growth and acidification on prickly pear fruit juice, ... -
Drivers for the establishment and composition of the sourdough lactic acid bacteria biota
(2016)The drivers for the establishment and composition of the sourdough microbiota, with particular emphasis on lactic acid bacteria, are-reviewed and discussed. More than 60 different species of lactobacilli were identified ... -
Spatial Distribution of the Metabolically Active Microbiota within Italian PDO Ewes' Milk Cheeses
(2016)Italian PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) Fiore Sardo (FS), Pecorino Siciliano (PS) and Pecorino Toscano (PT) ewes' milk cheeses were chosen as hard cheese model systems to investigate the spatial distribution of the ... -
Salivary and fecal microbiota and metabolome of celiac children under gluten-free diet
(2016)Celiac disease (CD) is an inflammatory autoimmune disorder resulting from the combination of genetic predisposition and gluten ingestion. A life-long gluten free diet (GFD) is the only therapeutic approach. Dysbiosis, which ... -
How organic farming of wheat may affect the sourdough and the nutritional and technological features of leavened baked goods
(2016)Organic farming is gaining broad recognition as a system that complies well with sustainability, an overarching principle that should drive agriculture now and in the coming year. Different cultivars and products can harbour ... -
Metabolism of Fructophilic Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated from the Apis mellifera L. Bee Gut: Phenolic Acids as External Electron Acceptors
(2016)Fructophilic lactic acid bacteria (FLAB) are strongly associated with the gastrointestinal tracts (GITs) of Apis mellifera L. worker bees due to the consumption of fructose as a major carbohydrate. Seventy-seven presumptive ... -
Transcriptional reprogramming and phenotypic switching associated with the adaptation of Lactobacillus plantarum C2 to plant niches
(2016)Lactobacillus plantarum has been isolated from a large variety of ecological niches, thus highlighting its remarkable environmental adaptability as a generalist. Plant fermentation conditions markedly affect the functional ...
