This study explores selenium enrichment of milk through microbial transformation, utilizing Geotrichum candidum LG-8, isolated from traditional dairy products. A combination of electronic tongue, electronic nose, HPLC-ICP-MS, and UHPLC-QTOF-MS were used to evaluate milk quality, organic selenium types, and various components. The milk retained a weakly acidic pH post-transformation, with a flavor profile rich in sour, sweet, and umami tastes. Odor analysis revealed predominant contributions from nitrogen oxides, aromatic compounds, ketones, and organic sulfides. Selenium concentrations increased with higher initial selenium levels, with 50 μg/mL yielding concentrations of MeSeCys, SeCys2, Se(IV), SeMet, and Se(VI) at 5.15, 20.80, 1.41, 75.31 and 0.44 μg/L respectively. Significant changes were observed in the milk's amino acid profile, with metabolite identification and metabolic pathways mapping(including KEGG). The findings highlight the potential of Geotrichum candidum LG-8 for generating functional organic selenium-enriched milk, offering promising nutritional benefits in dairy production.

Geotrichum candidum, a polymorphic fungus, exists in yeast, mold, and intermediate morphotypes, each with varying genome sizes and phenotypic traits. While G. candidum has been studied as a probiotic in dairy cattle and aquaculture, the differential probiotic potential of its morphotypes has not been fully investigated; therefore, the current study was designed to investigate their impact on the modulation of physiological and gut microbial diversity in BALB/c male mice.

Objective: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are gastrointestinal disorders, which can be triggered by gut microbiota dysbiosis. The development of IBS-like symptoms has been linked to the overgrowth of spp. In addition, the critical role of fungi has been highlighted in the pathogenesis of IBD.

Globally recognized for its unique sensory attributes, Natural Bloomy Rind Artisanal Minas Cheese (NBRAMC) from the Canastra microregion is made from raw cow's milk using a natural starter culture derived from the local environment. During ripening process, microorganisms, predominantly Geotrichum candidum, develop on the surface, with the microbial community playing a crucial role in shaping the cheese's distinctive characteristics. This study aimed to characterize the microbial community, including filamentous fungi, yeasts, and bacteria, present in the rind and core of NBRAMC.
