GroESL-overproducing Lactobacillus paracasei NFBC 338 was dried, and its viability was compared with that of controls. Spray- and freeze-dried cultures overproducing GroESL exhibited approximately 10-fold and 2-fold better survival, respectively, demonstrating the importance of GroESL in stress tolerance, which can be exploited to enhance the technological performance of sensitive probiotic cultures.

The bacterial heat shock response is characterized by the elevated expression of a number of chaperone complexes. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that GroEL expression in probiotic Lactobacillus paracasei NFBC 338 was increased under heat adaptation conditions (52 degrees C for 15 min). Subsequently, the groESL operon of L.
