Soluble extracts of 20 strains of thermophilic lactobacilli (Lactobacillus helveticus, L. lactis and L. bulgaricus) were prepared and added to milk for the culture of 10 strains of Streptococcus thermophilus. Acid production was stimulated in 64.5% of cases for 9 of these 10 strains. The L. helveticus extracts were the most stimulatory, but the same extracts did not always strongly stimulate each strain of Str. thermophilus. The stimulatory effects observed varied with the volume of extract and the strain of Str. thermophilus. The exception was Str. thermophilus 385, which was never stimulated. The stimulatory effects observed were due to aminopeptidases present in the lactobacillus extracts and were not related to a general caseinolytic activity. The possible addition of such extracts to milk for cooked hard cheese is discussed.

Due to its low dietary impact and bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, white kidney bean extract is an attractive raw material for fermented drinks. It can be utilized either on its own or blended with cow's milk, offering a promising solution to help meet dairy product demand during mid-season shortages. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the physicochemical characteristics, sensory properties, and microbiological profile of fermented milk-like drinks made from white kidney bean extract, cow's milk and their blends during 28 days of storage at 4 °C.

The natural transformation system of the thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus comprises at least 16 competence proteins. Recently we found that the outer membrane (OM) competence protein PilW interacts with the secretin channel, which guides type IV pili (T4P) and potential DNA transporter pseudopili through the OM. Here we have used biochemical techniques to study the interactions of cytoplasmic, inner membrane (IM) and OM components of the DNA transporter in T.

Sfela is a white brined Greek cheese of protected designation of origin (PDO) produced in the Peloponnese region from ovine, caprine milk, or a mixture of the two. Despite the PDO status of Sfela, very few studies have addressed its properties, including its microbiology. For this reason, we decided to investigate the microbiome of two PDO industrial Sfela cheese samples along with two non-PDO variants, namely Sfela touloumotiri and Xerosfeli.

The addition of yogurt to fruit smoothies enhances their nutritional value by introducing components not naturally found in fruit products. However, the addition of fermented products can affect the stability of fruit bioactive components in fruits, such as anthocyanins. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of varying yogurt additions (0, 10, 20, and 30%) on the stability of anthocyanins during a 4-week refrigerated storage period.
