Survival of two Lactobacillus kefir strains after spray drying in reconstituted skim milk with or without the addition of 12.5 g monosodium glutamate/l, 20 g sucrose/l, or 20 g fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS)/l and during subsequent storage under different conditions of temperature (20 and 30°C) and relative humidity (RH) (0, 11 and 23%) was evaluated. After being dried, L. kefir 8321 and L. kefir 8348 had a decrease in viability of 0.29 and 0.70 log cfu/ml respectively, while the addition of different protectants improved the survival of both strains significantly. During storage, bacterial survival was significantly higher under lower conditions of RH (0-11%), and monosodium glutamate and FOS proved to be the best protectants.

(1) Background: This study investigated the impact of in vitro adaptations to acid and bile stress on the cholesterol-lowering activity of the probiotic Lactobacillus kefir M20. (2) Methods: Lactobacillus kefir M20 was extracted from fermented dairy products in Xinjiang, China, and isolated using MRS medium. The lactic acid bacteria were cultured for stress resistance to acid and bile salts and then gavaged into mice for animal experiments.

This study explored the enantiocomplementary bioreduction of substituted 1-(arylsulfanyl)propan-2-ones in batch mode using four wild-type yeast strains and two different recombinant alcohol dehydrogenases from and The selected yeast strains and recombinant alcohol dehydrogenases as whole-cell biocatalysts resulted in the corresponding 1-(arylsulfanyl)propan-2-ols with moderate to excellent conversions (60-99%) and high selectivities (ee > 95%). The best bioreductions-in terms of conversion (>90%) and enantiomeric excess (>99% ee)-at preparative scale resulted in the expected chiral alcohols with similar conversion and selectivity to the screening reactions.

Stabilized enzymes are crucial for the industrial application of biocatalysis due to their enhanced operational stability, which leads to prolonged enzyme activity, cost-efficiency and consequently scalability of biocatalytic processes. Over the past decade, numerous studies have demonstrated that deep eutectic solvents (DES) are excellent enzyme stabilizers. However, the search for an optimal DES has primarily relied on trial-and-error methods, lacking systematic exploration of DES structure-activity relationships.

Protein crystallization as opposed to well-established chromatography processes has the benefits to reduce production costs while reaching a comparable high purity. However, monitoring crystallization processes remains a challenge as the produced crystals may interfere with analytical measurements. Especially for capturing proteins from complex feedstock containing various impurities, establishing reliable process analytical technology (PAT) to monitor protein crystallization processes can be complicated.
