Dairy propionibacteria are gram positive, aerotolerant and mesophilic bacteria found in dairy products, and in diverse habitats such as soil, plants, and digestive tracts of ruminants. They are essential as ripening culture ...

Probiotics are live microorganisms that confer health benefits to the host when administered in adequate amounts. In the last decades there has been a great interest from food and pharmaceutical industries to develop ...

Propionibacteria were first described by the end of the nineteenth century and named some years later by Orla-Jensen (1909) who proposed the genus Propionib acterium for referring to bacteria that produce propionic acid ...

In the present study, the effect of bile on the growth, cell permeabilization and β-galactosidase activity of dairy propionibacteria was determined. Two groups of strains with different behavior in media with oxgall ...

Plant lectins are specific carbohydrate-binding proteins that are widespread in legumes such as beans and pulses, seeds, cereals, and many plants used as farm feeds. They are highly resistant to cooking and digestion, ...

Pategrás is a typical semi-hard cheese of Argentina. Over the years, successive technological changes have been applied to its manufacture, being the addition of propionibacteria (PAB) one of the most relevant. The aims ...

The potential of probiotic bacteria to produce prebiotic oligosaccharides by transgalactosylation has been minimally studied. In this work, we screened the β-galactosidase (β-gal) activity of dairy propionibacteria (PAB) ...

Adhesion to the host intestinal mucosa is considered relevant for orally delivered probiotics as it prolongs their persistence in the gut and their health promoting effects. Classical propionibacteria are microorganisms ...
