  2. 1. Lactic acid bacteria fermentations in oat-based suspensions

    Author : Olof Mårtensson; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; beta-glucans; probiotics; prebiotics; bacterial survival; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik; oats; ropiness; lactic acid bacteria; ropy;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the fermentation characteristics of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in oat-based suspensions, with formulation work of fermented products based on oat and with nutritional studies of these products. Changes in structure in terms of viscosity and ropiness were studied when exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing LAB strains, namely, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. READ MORE

  4. 2. Influence of Lactic Acid Fermentation on Enteropathogenic Bacteria. Growth Inhibition in Cereal Gruels and in Human Intestine

    Author : Rose Kingamkono; Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : intestinal mucosal permeability; enteropathogenic bacteria; enterotoxins; lactic acid fermentation;

    Abstract : Togwa, a lactic-fermented cereal gruel, is widely consumed in Tanzania as a soft drink or used as a complementary food for young children. Studies were conducted to evaluate the potential of togwa to inhibit growth of common enteropathogenic bacteria and heat-labile (LT) enterotoxin production. READ MORE

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance is now a large threat with worldwide agreement that we will fall into a post-antibiotic era unless there is suitable treatment alternatives discovered. In recent years, chronic wounds have become a major burden on society and treatment is complicated. READ MORE

  7. 5. Interplay between bacteria and host epithelial cells

    Author : Lisa Maudsdotter; Ann-Beth Jonsson; Cindy Grove Arvidson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Microbial-cell interaction; Adherence; Infection; Lactic acid bacteria; Antimicrobial peptides; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : Bacterial pathogens have developed multiple ways of manipulating host cell functions to exploit the host environment. We found that interactions with epithelial cells increase the resistance of the human pathogen Neisseria meningitidis to the antimicrobial peptide LL-37. READ MORE
