The vector pCW5 with plasmid pC7, originally isolated in Lactobacillus paraplantarum C7 derived from kimchi, was constructed using a p32 strong promoter, the pC7 replicon, and green fluorescent protein (GFP) as the reporter. The constructed vector was transformed into E. coli and Leuconostoc mesenteroides, and GFP expression detected using a Western blot analysis. GFP fluorescence was recognized in E. coli and Leuconostoc mesenteroides using a confocal microscope. In addition, GFP fluorescence was also clearly detected in several industrially important lactic acid bacteria (LAB), including Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus paraplantarum, and Lactobacillus plantarum. Thus, pCW5 was shown to be effective for Leuconostoc mesenteroides when using GFP as the reporter, and it can also be used as a broad-host-range vector for other lactic acid bacteria.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how 4% microalgae (MC) and fermented microalgae (FMC) affect gut bacteria and obesity in male mice, with implications for animal metabolic health.
- Mice were divided into four diets over 12 weeks, and gut microbiome analysis showed significant changes in microbial communities for those on MC and FMC diets.
- Results indicated that both MC and FMC could help manage metabolism-related disorders and obesity by altering gut microbiota and enhancing metabolic pathways.

A key factor influencing consumer acceptance of soybean products is the aroma and taste profile, which can be modulated through fermentation using unique microbial strains. This study aimed to identify and characterize novel microbial strains with the potential to enhance flavour profiles including umami, while reducing undesirable flavour notes such as beany aromas. The results showed an 800% (8-fold) increase in free amino acids in samples fermented with , which correlated with an increase in umami intensity as measured using an E-tongue.

Microcystin-LRs (MC-LR) produced by harmful cyanobacterial blooms (HCBs) pose significant hepatotoxic risks to both the environment and public health. Despite the identification and characterization of a limited number of MC-LR degrading bacteria, the challenge of safely removing MC-LRs from freshwater systems without disrupting aquatic ecosystems remains substantial. This study focused on the isolation of lactic acid bacteria from Bapshikhe, a traditional Korean fermented food, and investigated the mechanisms underlying the degradation of MC-LRs by these bacteria.

This study aimed to investigate the possibility of producing fermented roe deer sausages using acid whey without the addition of sodium nitrite. Additionally, ascorbic acid was added to improve the oxidative stability of the product, and sodium chloride (NaCl) was partially replaced by potassium chloride (KCl) (7:3). The sausages were analyzed after fermentation (on day 30) and during post-production aging (i.

Roccaverano Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) is a fresh soft cheese produced in Roccaverano area (Italy). This study aimed to evaluate Roccaverano PDO microbiota, together with aromatic profile and sensory analysis to be compared with 15 non-PDO cheeses of the same type. Microbiota was evaluated through shotgun metagenomics sequencing, while GC-MS analysis was conducted to study volatile organic compounds (VOCs) presence and concentration.
