| lactic acid bacteria from raw milk as potentially beneficial strains to prevent bovine mastitis. | bovine mastitis produces a wide variety of problems in the dairy farm. the treatment of this disease is based on the use of antibiotics which are not always effective. these drugs are also responsible for the presence of residues in the milk and the increase of antibiotic-resistant strains. probiotic products were proposed as a valid alternative to antibiotic therapies and are also useful for the prevention of infectious syndromes. with the aim of designing a probiotic product to prevent bovine ... | 2012 | 22261519 |
| modelling growth and bacteriocin production by pediococcus acidilactici pa003 as a function of temperature and ph value. | to investigate the effect of ph and temperature on the cell growth and bacteriocin production of pediococcus acidilactici pa003, a lactic acid bacterium isolated from traditionally fermented cabbage, the kinetic behaviour of p. acidilactici pa003 was simulated in vitro during laboratory fermentations by making use of mrs broth. firstly, primary models were developed for cell growth, glucose consumption, lactic acid and bacteriocin production for a given set of environmental conditions. based on ... | 2012 | 22246730 |
| nutritional quality of fermented defatted soya and flaxseed flours and their effect on texture and sensory characteristics of wheat sourdough bread. | the use of soya and flaxseed flours fermented with pediococcus acidilactici for wheat sourdough bread production was investigated. the protein digestibility, biogenic amine contents of soya and flaxseed sourdoughs, texture and sensory features of bread were studied. the fermentation with p. acidilactici significantly improved soya and flaxseed protein extraction and increased protein digestibility on an average by 13.5%. the concentrations of histamine (3.8 ± 2.3 and 4.0 ± 0.2 mg/kg), tyramine ( ... | 2012 | 22229277 |
| draft genome sequence of probiotic strain pediococcus acidilactici ma18/5m. | pediococcus acidilactici ma18/5m is a commercially available probiotic that is widely used in swine, poultry, aquaculture feeds, and human dietary supplements. we prepared a genome sequence for this strain consisting of 2 scaffolds totaling 1,992,928 bases including gaps for a total of 3,346 bases and a g+c content of 42%. | 2012 | 22275099 |
| characterization of d: -lactate dehydrogenase from pediococcus acidilactici that converts phenylpyruvic acid into phenyllactic acid. | the gene coding for d: -lactate dehydrogenase (d: -ldh) from pediococcus acidilactici dsm 20284 was cloned and expressed in e. coli. the recombinant enzyme was purified by nickel-affinity chromatography. it converted phenylpyruvic acid (ppa) to 3-phenyllactic acid maximally at 30°c and ph 5.5 with a specific activity of 140 and 422 u/mg for ppa and pyruvate, respectively. the k (m), turnover number (k (cat)), and catalytic efficiency (k ... | 2012 | 22261863 |
