Study of lactic acid bacteria isolated from traditional ripened foods and partial characterization of their bacteriocins
2023, LWTCitation Excerpt :Dnase activity was determined using a Dnase agar medium (Pronadisa, Spain) with 0.05 g/L of methyl green (Sigma). The result was considered positive when after incubating the plates at 30 °C for 48 h, a clear halo was observed around the colonies (Ben Omar et al., 2004). All experiments were performed in duplicate, and S. aureus ATCC 25213 was used as a positive control.
Probiotic potential and safety assessment of bacteriocinogenic Enterococcus faecium strains with antibacterial activity against Listeria and vancomycin-resistant enterococci
2021, Current Research in Microbial SciencesDry-fermented sausages inoculated with Enterococcus faecium CECT 410 as free cells or in alginate beads
2021, LWTCitation Excerpt :Some studies have already applied Enterococcus species to foods such as cheese (Schittler et al., 2019), as well as meat sausages (Rubio, Bover-Cid, Martin, Garriga, & Aymerich, 2013). In addition, E. faecium CECT 410 strains were isolated from different Spanish foods such as salami, ham, yoghurt, cheese, pasteurized milk, and olives (Omar et al., 2004). Although enterococci have been safely used for centuries as starter cultures in food production, the risk-benefit profile has become increasingly problematic (Wang, Yang, & Hyucke, 2020).
