For example, LAB are used in the production of fermented products, such as yoghurts, cheese and pickled vegetables. In addition LAB can inhibit the growth of spoilage microbes and\/or pathogens in their environment by lowering the pH and\/or through the production of antimicrobial peptides, called bacteriocins. Both LAB and bifidobacteria are also thought to have health-promoting abilities and many are used as probiotics for the prevention, alleviation and treatment of intestinal disorders in humans and animals. In this comprehensive book, expert international authors review the most recent cutting-edge research in these areas. Topics include: \u003cem\u003eLactobacillus\u003c\/em\u003e genomics; \u003cem\u003eBifidobacterium\u003c\/em\u003e gene manipulation technologies; metabolism of human milk oligosaccharides in bifidobacteria; proton-motive metabolic cycles; oxidative stress and oxygen metabolism; \u003cem\u003eBifidobacterium \u003c\/em\u003eresponse to O\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e; bile acid stress in LAB and bifidobacteria; protein structure quality control; bacteriocin classification and diversity; lactococcal bacteriocins; lactobacilli bacteriocins; other bacteriocins; production of optically pure lactic acid; antihypertensive metabolites from LAB; the anti-\u003cem\u003eH. pylori\u003c\/em\u003e effect of \u003cem\u003eLactobacillus gasseri\u003c\/em\u003e; probiotics for allergic rhinitis; probiotics health claims in Japan and Europe.
