Antibiotic susceptibilities, hemolytic activities, and technological properties of 46 isolates from kimchi were evaluated to select starter candidates. All strains were susceptible to clindamycin and erythromycin, while some exhibited resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, streptomycin, and tetracycline; all were resistant to kanamycin based on the EFSA breakpoint values for species. PCR analysis did not detect resistance genes for these six antibiotics in any strain.

Huangjiu, a traditional Chinese alcoholic beverage with a history spanning thousands of years, holds significant cultural and economic value in China. Despite its importance, the complexity of Huangjiu fermentation and the intricate interactions within its microbial community remain underexplored. This study addresses this gap by identifying the core volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and key microorganisms that define the flavor profile of Huangjiu.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC)-mediated diarrhea can be mitigated by inhibiting bacterial adhesion to intestinal surface. Some lactic acid bacteria (LAB) produce exopolysaccharides (EPS) that can inhibit ETEC adhesion. In this study, we fermented soy flour-based dough (SoyD) with EPS-producing LAB strains Pediococcus pentosaceus TL (PpTL), Leuconostoc citreum TR (LcTR), Leuconostoc mesenteroides WA (LmWA) and L.

The gut microbiota is an immune system regulator in the gut-skin axis. Dysfunctional interactions between the gut microbiota and the gut immune system can lead to the development of skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis (AD). Probiotics and postbiotics positively affect the balance of the gut microbiota, immune regulation, protection against pathogens, and barrier integrity.

The (1→3)(1→6)-α-D-dextran (alternating dextran) produced by Leuconostoc citreum SK24.002 is a novel functional exopolysaccharide, and its low molecular weight derivatives have potential applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. In this work, we used sonication, a green polysaccharide disruption method, to study the degradation process of this dextran by changing the intensity and duration of the sonication treatment and the concentration of the dextran solution.
