Characterisation and biochemical properties of predominant lactic acid bacteria from fermenting cassava for selection as starter cultures

Author: Kostinek, M ; Specht, I ; Edward, VA ; Pinto, C ; Egounlety, M ; Sossa, C ; Mbugua, S ; Dortu, C ; Thonart, P ; Taljaard, L ; Mengu, M ; Franz, CMAP ; Holzapfel, WH Date: Mar 2007 A total of 375 lactic acid bacteria were isolated from fermenting cassava in South Africa, Benin, Kenya and Germany, and were characterised by phenotypic and genotypic tests. These could be divided into five main groups comprising strains of ... Read more
Diversity and technological properties of predominant lactic acid bacteria from fermented cassava used for the preparation of Gari, a traditional African food

Author: Kostinek, M ; Specht, I ; Edward, VA ; Schillinger, U ; Hertel, C ; Holzapfel, WH ; Franz, CMAP Date: Aug 2005 Traditional fermentation of cassava is dominated by a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) population. Fermentation is important for improving product flavour and aroma as well as safety, especially by reduction of its toxic cyanogenic glycosides. The ... Read more
Isolation and screening of microorganisms from a gari fermentation process for starter culture development

Author: Edward, VA ; Egounlety, M ; Huch, M ; Van Zyl, PJ ; Singh, S ; Nesengani, ND ; Haakuria, VM ; Franz, CMAP Date: Aug 2012 Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), is used for the production of a variety of West African foods and ranks fourth in the list of major crops in developing countries after rice, wheat and maize. Gari is one of the most popular foods produced ... Read more
Potential of lactic acid bacteria for the reduction of fumonisin exposure in African fermented maize based foods

Author: Dawlal, Pranitha ; Brabet, C ; Thantsha, MS ; Buys, EM Date: Oct 2017 Maize, which contributes to a large portion of the African diet and serves as the base substrate for many fermented cereal products, has been reported to be contaminated with fumonisins. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro ability of ... Read more
Production of freeze-dried lactic acid bacteria starter culture for cassava fermentation into gari

Author: Yao, AA ; Dortu, C ; Egounlety, M ; Pinto, C ; Edward, VA ; Huch, M ; Franz, CMAP ; Holzapfel, W ; Mbugua, S ; Mengu, M ; Thonart, P Date: Oct 2009 Sixteen lactic acid bacteria, eight Lactobacillus plantarum, three L. pentosus, two Weissella paramesenteroides, two L. fermemtum and one Leuconostoc mesenteroides ssp. mesenteroides were previously isolated from cassava fermentation and ...

Recent advances in genetic tools for engineering probiotic lactic acid bacteria

Author: Mugwanda, Kanganwiro ; Hamese, Saltiel ; Van Zyl, Winschau F ; Prinsloo, E ; Du Plessis, M ; Dicks, L ; Thimiri Govindaraj, Deepak B Date: Jan 2023 Synthetic biology has grown exponentially in the last few years, with a variety of biological applications. One of the emerging applications of synthetic biology is to exploit the link between microorganisms, biologics, and human health. To ... Read more
Visualisation and quantification of fumonisins bound by lactic acid bacteria isolates from traditional African maize-based fermented cereals, ogi and mahewu

Author: Dawlal, Pranitha ; Brabet, C ; Thantsha, MS ; Buys, EM Date: Jan 2019 Consumption of fumonisin-contaminated foods has a negative influence on the health of humans (carcinogen; oesophageal cancer in Eastern Cape in South Africa). Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have emerged as a promising natural detoxification agent ... Read more
