To analyse lactic acid bacteria (LAB) diversity and technological‐functional safety properties of strains present during spontaneous fermented quinoa sourdoughs. Fermentation was performed by daily backslopping at 30°C for 10 days. Autochthonous LAB microbiota monitored a biphasic approach combining random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)‐PCR rRNA gene sequencing with PCR‐denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis. Identification intraspecies differentiation allowed to group...
The wide array of spontaneously fermented sausages the Mediterranean area can represent a reservoir microbial biodiversity and be an important source new technological functional strains able to preserve product properties, counteracting impoverishment their organoleptic typical features due introduction commercial starter cultures. We analysed 15 artisanal salamis from Italy, Spain, Croatia Slovenia evaluate microbiota composition, through culture-dependent culture-independent techniques...
Modulation of animal gut microbiota is a prominent function probiotics to improve the health and performance livestock. In this study, large-scale survey evaluate effect lactic acid bacteria on shaping fecal bacterial community structure feedlot cattle during three experimental periods fattening cycle (163 days) was performed. A commercial located in northwestern Argentina enrolled with fed mixed rations (forage increasing grain diet) convenience-experimental design conducted. pen (n = 21...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the administration feruloyl esterase (FE)-producing strain Lactobacillus fermentum CRL1446 enhances metabolic and oxidative parameters in caloric-restricted (CR) mice. Balb/c male mice were divided into ad libitum fed Group (ALF Group), CR diet (CR Group) plus L. (CR-Lf Group). administered during 45 days given dose 108 cells/mL/day/mouse. FE activity determined intestinal mucosa content at Day 1, 20 45. Triglyceride, total cholesterol,...
Spontaneous fermented sourdoughs prepared from amaranth flour were investigated for the presence of autochthonous lactic acid bacteria (LAB) predominating microbiota. The doughs with daily backslopping on a laboratory scale at 30°C 10 days. LAB counts ranged 2·60 to 8·54 log CFU g(-1) pH declined 6·2 3·8 throughout fermentation. combined use randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR analysis and sequence 16S rRNA was applied intraspecies differentiation taxonomic identification,...
Peruvian chicha de jora is one of the most ancient traditional beverages produced through maize fermentation, still popular to modern consumers, but less studied in terms microbial compositions. In this work, bacterial biodiversity 27 samples collected from 14 different “chicherias” seven provinces Peru was investigated by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). A large dissimilarity composition a direct consequence ingredients, manufacturing processes and geographical influences. The core...
ABSTRACT Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis allowed us to monitor total bacterial communities and establish a pattern of succession between species in vacuum-packaged beef stored at 2 8°C for 9 weeks 14 days. Species-specific PCR was used confirm the presence Lactobacillus sakei curvatus . Multiplex PCRs using 16S rRNA-specific primers differentiation Leuconostoc species. These methods provided desired information about microbial diversity by detecting main microorganisms capable...
Dietary strategies, including the use of probiotics as preventive agents that modulate gut microbiota and regulate function adipose tissue, are suitable tools for prevention or amelioration obesity its comorbidities. We aimed to evaluate effect lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with different adipo- immuno-modulatory capacities on metabolic immunological parameters intestinal composition in high-fat-diet-induced mice fed a high-fat diet
To evaluate changes in the resident microbial population cranial vaginal mucosa induced by a progesterone-releasing intravaginal device (PRID) compared to microbiota of cows with reproductive disorders.Vaginal discharge was evaluated clinical examination and Vaginitis Diagnosis Score performed exfoliative cytology. All samples classified as positive some negative evaluation were later diagnosed for vaginitis cytological analysis. Bacterial diversity profiles PCR-DGGE clustered according...
