A new paper examines how certain strains of bacteria, and specifically the genetic diversity of acetic acid bacteria, influence the smell and flavor of sourdough bread and even how it is processed ...

Now, a team of scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has devised a way to break down this biofilm barrier, using an enzyme from the cow's digestive tract. The findings were ...

ABSTRACT: Gluconacetobacter hansenii GK-1 is an acid-resistant gram-negative bacterium used in vinegar brewing. Oral ingestion of GK-1 was previously reported to help maintain immunity and reduce ...

When bacteria manage to resist antibiotic treatment, it is often because the bacteria form a biofilm of proteins and sugars that acts as a shield against the antibiotic, and it is a part of the ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, have uncovered the potential in the digestive enzymes of cows to break down the “biofilms” of certain types of bacteria, which can ...
