Differential adaptation of the yeast Candida anglica to fermented food.

A single strain of Candida anglica, isolated from cider, is available in international yeast collections. We present here seven new strains isolated from French PDO cheeses. For one of the cheese strains, we achieved a high-quality genome assembly of 13.

Microbial Dynamics during labneh Ambaris Production in Earthenware Jars.

The responses of various microbial populations to modifications in the physicochemical properties of a food matrix, as well as interactions between these populations already present, are the main factors that shape microbial dynamics in that matrix. This work focused on the study of microbial dynamics during labneh Ambaris production, a traditional Lebanese concentrated fermented goat milk made in jars during 3 months. This was assessed in two earthenware jars at a production facility.

Insights into the Genomic and Phenotypic Landscape of the Oleaginous Yeast .

Although is a model yeast for the study of lipid metabolism, its diversity is poorly known, as studies generally consider only a few standard laboratory strains. To extend our knowledge of this biotechnological workhorse, we investigated the genomic and phenotypic diversity of 56 natural isolates. is classified into five clades with no correlation between clade membership and geographic or ecological origin.

Microbial communities and main features of labneh Ambaris, a traditional Lebanese fermented goat milk product.

Labneh Ambaris is a traditional Lebanese dairy product typically made using goat milk in special earthenware jars. Its production is characterized by the regular additions of milk and coarse salt, all while draining the whey throughout a process that lasts for a minimum of 2 mo. In this study, 20 samples of labneh Ambaris, all produced by spontaneous fermentation, were studied.

Artisanal Household Milk Pasteurization Is Not a Determining Factor in Structuring the Microbial Communities of Labneh Ambaris: A Pilot Study.

Labneh Ambaris is a traditional Lebanese dairy product traditionally made using raw goat's milk in earthenware jars, but recently the use of artisanally pasteurized milk was introduced for safety reasons. In this study, 12 samples of labneh Ambaris were studied, six made using raw goat's milk and six others using artisanally pasteurized goat's milk. These samples were collected during fermentation and their microbial compositions were analyzed.
