商品簡介
Scientists mostly from Japan and France provide a snapshot of the current basic science underlying the study of the two types of bacteria as intestinal bacteria, starter strains for fermented food and other products, and recently as probiotics for humans. They cover genetics and energy metabolism, stress response, bacteriocins from lactic acid bacteria, lactic acid for bioplastics, and health benefits. Specific topics include the current status of Bifidobacterium gene manipulation technologies, oxidative stress and oxygen metabolism in lactic acid bacteria, lactococcal bacteriocins, producing optically pure lactic acid for biplastics, and anti-hypertensive metabolites from lactic acid bacteria.
