Lactic acid bacteria constitute a diverse group of industrially significant, safe microorganisms
that are primarily used as starter cultures and probiotics, and are also being developed as …

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have long been used in industrial applications mainly as starters
for food fermentation or as biocontrol agents or as probiotics. However, LAB possess several …

Symbionts play an indispensable role in gut homeostasis, but underlying mechanisms
remain elusive. To clarify the role of lactic-acid-producing bacteria (LAB) on intestinal stem …

We describe the metabolic engineering of two strains of Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius to
divert their fermentative carbon flux from a mixed acid pathway, to one in which ethanol …

Lactic acid bacteria are well known to be beneficial for food production and, as probiotics,
they are relevant for many aspects of health. However, their potential as cell factories for the …

The Lactobacillus genus represents the largest and most diverse genera of all the lactic acid
bacteria (LAB), encompassing species with applications in industrial, biotechnological and …

The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a functionally related group of low-GC Gram-positive
bacteria known essentially for their roles in bioprocessing of foods and animal feeds. Due to …

A Lactobacillus brevis strain with the ability to synthesize butanol from glucose was
constructed by metabolic engineering. The genes crt, bcd, etfB, etfA, and hbd, composing …

Evaluating a wealth of quantitative data, Biofuels: Biotechnology, Chemistry, and
Sustainable Development discusses different types of biofuels, the science behind their …

Although functional interplay between intestinal microbiota and distant sites beyond the gut
