The dairy industry is constantly developing new starters with specific traits. Therefore, strains from natural sources have huge potential for exploration and characterization. The aim of this work was to identify the most efficient, useful, and reliable option for typing 55 Streptococcus thermophilus isolates from traditional Turkish yogurts and four industrial strains. Then, we statistically evaluated whether our conclusions could be extended to the true population. For this purpose, the results of the rapid amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR; using the OPI-02 MOD, M13, and XD9 primers) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE; using the SmaI and ApaI enzymes) typing methods were compared. The discriminatory power, typeability, and reproducibility were analyzed. Additionally, the congruence between typing methods was quantified using the adjusted Rand index (AR), Wallace index (W), and expected Wallace coefficient. Both methods revealed high genetic diversity of the S. thermophilus strains, even in the same yogurt sample. The numerical combination of results for these primers or restriction enzymes increased the congruence between the methods and provided more complete information on the strains. The comparison of these two options showed that using SmaI with ApaI was more advisable and useful than using OPI-02 MOD with M13. Additionally, the first combination represented the best tool to discriminate S. thermophilus strains (Simpson's index of diversity [DI] of 0.999 [0.997-1.000]). This finding was statistically supported. The RAPD (OPI-02 MOD) typing result showed an ability to confidently predict the PFGE (SmaI, ApaI) type (AR = 0.782 [0.618-0.949], W = 0.946 [0.865-1.000]). This result had some statistical support and might represent an important application in the dairy industry for screening strains.

Current applications of exopolysaccharides from lactic acid bacteria in the development of food active edible packaging Moradi, Mehran; Guimarães, Jonas T; Şahin, Serpil (Elsevier BV, 2021-08-01) The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are usually recognized as safe for consumption and comprise several genera with different technological and health-promoting potential for food applications, including probiotic characteristics. Their exopolysaccharides (EPS) have interesting film-forming properties and may be used to produce edible packaging, as a structural enhancer, a bioactive agent or probiotic carrier in edible films and coatings. In these days, there is a specific demand for food products with reduced a...
A kinetic study on the plasmid stability of three Lactococcus lactis strains Avsaroglu, M. Dilek; Buzrul, Sencer; Sanlibaba, Pinar; Alpas, Hami; Akcelik, Mustafa (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-11-01) The plasmid stability of three wild type Lactococcus lactis strains and their mutants was investigated at different incubation time and temperatures in two different media [M17 broth and reconstituted skim milk (RSM)]. The results showed that both incubation times and temperature are effective on plasmid loss. The plasmid profiles of wild type strains exhibited 8 to 9 distinct plasmid species with molecular weights from 2.1 to 24.0 kb. Lactose fermentation ability was found to be encoded by 22.2 (strain U70...
KINETICS OF MICROBIAL-GROWTH, GAS-PRODUCTION, AND DOUGH VOLUME INCREASE DURING LEAVENING AKDOGAN, H; OZILGEN, M (Elsevier BV, 1992-02-01) Microbial growth, gas production, and volume increase were studied experimentally at 10-degrees-C, 15-degrees-C, 20-degrees-C, 25-degrees-C, and 30-degrees-C in a sourdough production process. Microbial growth was simulated with the logistic equation. Gas production and dough volume increase rates were simulated with the Luede-king-Piret and saturation equations, respectively. In a leavening process, carbon dioxide is produced by the Bakers' yeast and entrapped into the gas cells formed by the gluten fil...
Vector construction for transformation of tobacco with a NAC-type transcription factor, TaNAC69-1 Eroğlu, Ayten; BALOĞLU, MEHMET CENGİZ; Yucel, Meral (2016-08-10) NAC type transcription factors are a large family of plant transcription factors related to defense, development, biotic and abiotic responses of plants. To construct vectors for tobacco transformation, traditional and Gateway cloning technology were used. For traditional cloning, firstly TaNAC69-1 gene was isolated from Triticum aestivum L. cv. Yuregir-89. After cDNA synthesis, TaNAC69-1 gene was cloned into pJET1.2 cloning vector. To transfer the gene into dicot expression vector, pORE-E3, both pJET1.2 a...
KINETICS OF SPONTANEOUS WINE PRODUCTION OZILGEN, M; CELIK, M; BOZOGLU, F (Elsevier BV, 1991-03-01) Substrate consumption, ethanol production, microbial growth, and temperature increase in a fermentation vessel are metabolically interrelated biological phenomena. In spontaneous wine fermentations, mixed cultures of various microbial species are involved in the fermentation process. Due to the continuously changing species contributing to the microbial population, these metabolically interrelated parameters are treated separately in the enology literature. In the present study, mathematical models are pres...
