This review summarizes a collection of lactic acid bacteria that are now undergoing genomic
sequencing and analysis. Summaries are presented on twenty different species, with each …

Winemaking can be summarized as the biotransformation of must into wine, which is
performed principally by Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains during the primary or alcoholic …

Few studies have extensively investigated probiotic functions associated with biofilms. Here,
we show that strains of Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus fermentum are able to …

In this study, we investigated the agrBDCA operon in the pathogenic bacterium Listeria
monocytogenes EGD-e. In-frame deletion of agrA and agrD resulted in an altered adherence and …

Autophagy is an intracellular catabolic pathway essential for the recycling of proteins and
larger substrates such as aggregates, apoptotic corpses, or long-lived and superfluous …

Listeria monocytogenes is a food pathogen that can attach on most of the surfaces encountered
in the food industry. Biofilms are three-dimensional microbial structures that facilitate the …

For economic, agricultural, and environmental reasons, composting is frequently used for
organic waste recycling. One approach to limiting the potential risk from bacterial food-borne …

The effects of combined cold, acid and ethanol on the membrane physical state and on the
survival of Oenococcus oeni were investigated. Membrane fluidity was monitored on intact …

The expression gene pattern reflects, in part, mechanisms involved in adaptation to
environmental conditions. Thus, we established and validated a method that enables relative …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a pathogenic bacterium widely investigated for its high incidence
in clinical environments and its ability to form strong biofilms. During biofilm development, …
