  • Process for increasing the yield of subsp, and/or subsp. bacteria cultures during aerobic fermentation
    Patent number: 9854822
    Abstract: Microbial starter cultures. More specifically, a method for preparing a microbial starter culture wherein the microorganism is inoculated in a culture medium comprising at least one 5 yield enhancing agent selected from the group consisting of a purine base, a pyrimidine base, a nucleoside and a nucleotide. Such microbial starter cultures are useful in the manufacturing of food, feed and pharmaceutical products.

  • Porphyrin containing lactic acid bacterial cells and use therof
    Patent number: 9410117
    Abstract: Culturally modified lactic acid bacterial cells containing a porphyrin compound and their use in a novel method of reducing the oxygen content in a food and feed product or starting material is provided and means of improving the shelf life and/or quality of such products by using the culturally modified bacterial cells. Such culturally modified cells are useful in the manufacturing of a food and a feed product and for the manufacturing of metabolites produced by modified cells.

  • Use of compounds involved in biosynthesis of nucleic acids as cryoprotective agents
    Patent number: 9289003
    Abstract: A new type of cryoprotective agents that are useful for retaining the viability and metabolic activity of frozen or freeze-dried microbial cultures, is disclosed. The cryoprotective agent comprises compounds involved in biosynthesis of nucleic acids. Methods for the preparation as well as the uses of such cultures are given. Such cultures are useful as starter cultures in the manufacturing of food and feed products. Starter cultures of the invention include culture of lactic acid bacteria, e.g. Lactococcus species as well as other species.
