Screening for antimicrobial features of 197 propionibacteria and tests with several antifungal lactobacilli led to the development of three protective cultures containing Propionibacterium jensenii SM11 and Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei strain SM20, SM29 or SM63. These cultures showed inhibitory activities (up to 5 orders of magnitude) against yeasts in dairy products such as yoghurt or cheese surface at refrigerator temperatures (6 degrees C) without an influence on the quality properties of the food. Initial cell numbers of 5 x 10(7) cells/g of propionibacteria and 1 x 10(8) cells/g of lactobacilli were the optimal concentrations to yield a total inhibition of the spoilage yeasts (Candida pulcherrima, Candida magnoliae, Candida parapsilosis and Zygosaccharomyces bailii).

Little is known about how combining probiotics affects the storage survival and functional performance of individual probiotics when incorporated into non-dairy drinks. Viability of GG (LG), ATCC 55730 (LR), subsp. BB-12 (Bb), and 702 (PJ), either alone or in multi-species combinations included in orange juice (OJ), were assessed during storage in refrigerated conditions and compared with bottled water (BW).

Dysbiosis leads to a number of chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, inflammation, atherosclerosis, etc. However, these diseases can be prevented by using probiotics - living microorganisms that benefit the microflora and, therefore, improve the host organism's health.

In this study we show increased biomass formation for four species of food-grade propionic acid bacteria (Acidipropionibacterium acidipropionici, Acidipropionibacterium jensenii, Acidipropionibacterium thoenii and Propionibacterium freudenreichii) when exposed to oxygen, implicating functional respiratory systems. Using an optimal microaerobic condition, P. freudenreichii DSM 20271 consumed lactate to produce propionate and acetate initially.

Fungi are commonly identified as the cause for dairy food spoilage. This can lead to substantial economic losses for the dairy industry as well as consumer dissatisfaction. In this context, biopreservation of fermented dairy products using lactic acid bacteria, propionibacteria and fungi capable of producing a large range of antifungal metabolites is of major interest.

The novel genus encompasses species of industrial importance but also those associated with food spoilage. In particular, , , and play an important role in food fermentation, as biopreservatives, or as potential probiotics.
