Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sylvie Lortal"
- Sylvie Lortal's recent research primarily focuses on the microbiota associated with fruit processing, particularly mangoes, exploring how microbial communities change from tree to ready-to-eat products using advanced metabarcoding techniques in various studies.
- Her studies reveal the significant influence of terroir and pre-harvest factors on the epiphytic bacterial and fungal communities of mangoes, highlighting the complexity and diversity present in these microbiomes, which can impact fruit quality and processing methods.
- Lortal also investigates microbial interactions and colony dynamics in foods, such as cheese, examining how spatial distribution and physicochemical properties of substrates affect microbial growth and metabolite production, providing insights into the behavior of beneficial bacteria in food systems.
