The microbial diseases cause significant damage in agriculture, resulting in major yield and
quality losses. To control microbiological damage and promote plant growth, a number of …

The Lactobacillus genus represents the largest and most diverse genera of all the lactic acid
bacteria (LAB), encompassing species with applications in industrial, biotechnological and …

Abstract GEnome-scale Metabolic models (GEMs) are powerful tools to predict cellular
metabolism and physiological states in living organisms. However, due to our imperfect …

Genome-scale metabolic modeling has become widespread for analyzing microbial
metabolism. Extending this established paradigm to more complex microbial communities is …

Motivation In a genome-scale metabolic model, the biomass produced is defined to have a
molecular weight (MW) of 1 g mmol− 1. This is critical for correctly predicting growth yields …

Genome‐scale metabolic network reconstructions and constraint‐based analyses are
powerful methods that have the potential to make functional predictions about microbial …

Cheese is characterized by a rich and complex microbiota that plays a vital role during both
production and ripening, contributing significantly to the safety, quality, and sensory …

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are well known to elicit health benefits in humans, but their
functional metabolic landscapes remain unexplored. Here, we analyze differences in …

Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. cremoris is an obligate heterolactic fermentative lactic
acid bacterium that is mostly used in industrial dairy fermentations. The phosphoketolase …

Background Lactobacillus reuteri is a heterofermentative Lactic Acid Bacterium (LAB) that is
commonly used for food fermentations and probiotic purposes. Due to its robust properties, it …
