Lactobacillus plantarum is a lactic acid bacterium encountered in a variety of food and feed
fermentations and as a natural inhabitant of human gastrointestinal tract. To survive in these …

Many cellular processes are regulated at the transcriptional level. For this reason the
transcriptome of a cell, the total set of RNAs under a specific condition, contains information …

Background The development of transcriptomic tools has allowed exhaustive description of
stress responses. These responses always superimpose a general response associated to …

Lactobacillus reuteri is a lactic acid bacterium that is highly adapted to the sourdough
environment. It is a dominant member of industrial type II sourdoughs, and is also able to …

Next generation sequencing technologies with advanced bioinformatic tools present a
unique opportunity to compare genomes from diverse niches. The identification of niche …

Dietary fats may exert selective pressures on Lactobacillus species, however, knowledge on
the mechanisms of adaptation to fat stress in these organisms is still fragmentary. This study …

Bacteria can deploy various mechanisms to combat environmental stresses. Many genes
have previously been identified in Lactococcus lactis that are involved in sensing the …

The ability of Lactobacillus plantarum to adapt to various environmental conditions, even the
variable, complex and competitive conditions of the mammalian intestinal tract, makes it an …

In the present study we examine the changes in the expression of genes of Lactococcus
lactis subspecies cremoris MG1363 during growth in milk. To reveal which specific classes …

The organic acid lactate is the predominant fermentation product of Lactobacillus plantarum.
The undissociated form of this organic acid is a strong growth inhibitor for the organism …
