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 addition of artificial additives and from renewable sources, and the LAB EPS meet these criteria with additional bioactive functions, like antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. This makes the LAB EPS good choices for the production of edible food packaging, which highlight the need of investing in this study area.

Molecular evaluation and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Escherichia coli isolates from food products in Turkey Kyere, Emmanuel Owusu; Bulut, Ece; AVŞAROĞLU ERKAN, MÜRŞİDE DİLEK; Soyer, Yeşim (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-06-01) Some strains of Escherichia coli can be important food borne pathogens. Characterization and antimicrobial resistance testing of 28 E. coli isolates from random food samples obtained in Van, Turkey were performed. Primers for 6 indicator genes (fliC, stx1, stx2, eae, hlyA, and rfbE) for shiga toxin-producing E. coli and 5 indicator genes for each pathogroup (bfpA, aggR, ipaH, daaD, st, and lt) were used. E. coli isolates were also typed using pulsed field gel electrophoresis with the XbaI restriction enzyme...
Biodegradation of the Allelopathic Chemical Pterostilbene by a Sphingobium sp. Strain from the Peanut Rhizosphere Yu, Ri-Qing; Kurt, Zöhre; He, Fei; Spain, Jim C. (American Society for Microbiology, 2019-03-01) Many plants produce allelopathic chemicals, such as stilbenes, to inhibit pathogenic fungi. The degradation of allelopathic compounds by bacteria associated with the plants would limit their effectiveness, but little is known about the extent of biodegradation or the bacteria involved. Screening of tissues and rhizosphere of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) plants revealed substantial enrichment of bacteria able to grow on resveratrol and pterostilbene, the most common stilbenes produced by the plants. Investigati...
Optimisation of spray drying parameters for Lactobacillus acidophilus encapsulation in whey and gum Arabic: Its application in yoghurt Leylak, Cansu; Özdemir, Kübra Sultan; Gurakan, G. Candan; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm (Elsevier BV, 2021-01-01) To maintain viable cells over the critical value of 10(6) cfu g(-1) throughout shelf life of probiotic yoghurt, Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5 was encapsulated by spray drying using whey powder (WP) and gum arabic (GA) mixtures. Box-Behnken Design (BBD) method was used to optimise drying conditions and WP to GA ratio in wall material. Responses were recorded for encapsulation efficiency and production efficiency of microcapsules. Optimum conditions were determined as: inlet air temperature, 140 degrees C; l...
Assessing genetic heterogeneity within bacterial species isolated from gastrointestinal and environmental samples: How many isolates does it take? Dopfer, D.; Buist, W.; Soyer, Yeşim; Munoz, M. A.; Zadoks, R. N.; Geue, L.; Engel, B. (American Society for Microbiology, 2008-06-01) Strain typing of bacterial isolates is increasingly used to identify sources of infection or product contamination and to elucidate routes of transmission of pathogens or spoilage organisms. Usually, the number of bacterial isolates belonging to the same species that is analyzed per sample is determined by convention, convenience, laboratory capacity, or financial resources. Statistical considerations and knowledge of the heterogeneity of bacterial populations in various sources can be used to determine the...
Selective Quantification of Viable Escherichia coli Bacteria in Biosolids by Quantitative PCR with Propidium Monoazide Modification Taskin, Bilgin; Gözen, Ayşe Gül; Duran, Metin (American Society for Microbiology, 2011-07-01) Quantitative differentiation of live cells in biosolids samples, without the use of culturing-based approaches, is highly critical from a public health risk perspective, as recent studies have shown significant regrowth and reactivation of indicator organisms. Persistence of DNA in the environment after cell death in the range of days to weeks limits the application of DNA-based approaches as a measure of live cell density. Using selective nucleic acid intercalating dyes like ethidium monoazide (EMA) and pr...
