Fructobacillus, a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultative anaerobic bacterium, belongs to the fructophilic lactic acid bacteria (FLAB) group. The group's name originates from fructose, the favored carbon source for its members. Fructobacillus spp.

Among the beer-spoiling microorganisms, the dominant ones belong to the genera , , , and . It is assumed that resistance to hop bitters correlates with resistance to other factors and can significantly impact the brewing industry. Beer preservation with high hydrostatic pressure eliminates the spoiling microorganisms while preserving all desired properties of the beer.

is an important beer-spoiling species, exhibiting high hop tolerance. Here, we present the annotated whole genome sequence of two recently isolated strains, KKP 3565 and KKP 3566. Firstly, to study the genetic basis of the persistence of the two isolates in beer, a comprehensive bioinformatic analysis ensued.

This article investigated the structure, and the spectroscopic and antimicrobial properties of mandelic acid and its alkali metal salts. The electron charge distribution and aromaticity in the analyzed molecules were investigated using molecular spectroscopy methods (FT-IR, FT-Raman, H NMR, and C NMR) and theoretical calculations (structure, NBO, HOMO, LUMO, energy descriptors, and theoretical IR and NMR spectra). The B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) method was used in the calculations.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how adding whole and milled flaxseed affects yogurt quality, focusing on optimal flaxseed dosage and the timing of its addition.
  • It found that adding 1% milled flaxseed resulted in better yogurt qualities compared to whole flaxseed, especially in terms of acidity and thickness.
  • The timing of flaxseed addition also mattered, but surprisingly, the flaxseed didn't significantly affect the number of yogurt bacteria.
