Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Erika Van den Berghe"
- Erika Van Den Berghe's research primarily focuses on the production of bacteriocins by lactic acid bacteria, specifically exploring how environmental factors like temperature and pH influence these processes.
- Key findings include the discovery of a temperature- and pH-dependent switch-off mechanism for Enterocin A production in Enterococcus faecium and the consistent production of macedocin by Streptococcus macedonicus during cheese manufacture conditions.
- Her studies emphasize the potential application of these bacteriocins as natural preservatives in food, enhancing safety and extending shelf life while being produced under optimal conditions relevant to food processing.
