2. 1. Lactobacillus reuteri in health and disease

   Author : Gabriela Sinkiewicz; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : breast milk; lactobacilli; Lactobacillus reuteri; probiotics; Bifidobacteria; clostridium; faeces; Gingivitis; oral health;

   Abstract : People have exploited fermentation by lactobacilli for centuries as a means of preparing and preserving foods. Several different bacterial species are today used as probiotic bacteria in different products both for human and animal applications. READ MORE

4. 2. Exploring the Propanediol Utilization Pathway in Lactobacillus reuteri

   Author : Lu Chen; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : Lactobacillus reuteri; propanediol utilization pathway; microcompartment; shell proteins; glycerol; 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde; 3-hydroxypropionic acid; 1; 3-propanediol; glycerol dehydratase; 1; 3-propanediol oxidoreductase; propionaldehyde dehydrogenase; redox balance; substrate selectivity;

   Abstract : Concerns regarding environmental issues have led to increasing efforts for investigating sustainable production routes for the future industry that is based on renewable resources. Among the biobased chemicals, the C3-chemicals 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde (3-HPA), 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) and 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP), have been identified as top candidates for the chemical industry.

5. 3. Antibiotic resistance in Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus plantarum

   Author : Maria Egervärn; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) may act as reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes that can be transferred via the food chain or within the gastrointestinal tract to pathogenic bacteria. This thesis provides data required for assessing the potential risk of using antibiotic resistant strains of the LAB species Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus plantarum as food processing aids or probiotics.

6. 4. Lactobacillus characterization and effects on oral biofilm composition

   Author : Nelly Romani Vestman; Ingegerd Johansson; Jukka Meurman; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lactobacillus; L. gasseri; probiotic traits; oral biofilm; breastfeeding; oral microbiota; odontologi; Odontology;

   Abstract : The human body is home for millions of bacteria. The largest microbial community is located in the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract, including the oral cavity with >700 identified taxa. Lactobacillus, which is normal inhabitant of the GI tract, contributes to health by possible biofilm and immune modulation. READ MORE

7. 5. Microbial production of 3-hydroxypropionic acid and poly(3-hydroxypropionate): Investigation of Lactobacillus reuteri propanediol utilization pathway enzymes

   Author : Ramin Sabet Azad; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Platform chemicals; biopolymers; 3-hydroxypropionic acid; 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde; glycerol; poly 3-hydroxypropionate ; polyhydroxyalkanoates; Escherichia coli; Lactobacillus reuteri; propanediol utilization pathway; propionaldehyde dehydrogenase; biotransformation; cofactor regeneration; NADH oxidase;

   Abstract : Concerns regarding environmental issues such as greenhouse gas emissions and climate change have led to a shift within the research community and chemical and energy industry sectors for finding sustainable routes for producing fuels and chemicals from renewable resources, thereby minimizing our dependence on petroleum. The C3-chemical 3-hydroxypropionic acid has been identifed as a top candidate for the biobased chemical industry. READ MORE
