  • Bacteriophage resistant lactic acid bacteria
    Patent number: 8137950
    Abstract: A lactic acid bacterium (LAB) wherein an YjaE protein is essentially inactive and the LAB thereby get improved resistance to bacteriophages, a starter culture composition comprising the lactic acid bacterium and use of this starter culture manufacturing a food or feed product.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 6, 2006
    Date of Patent: March 20, 2012
    Assignee: Chr. Hansen A/S
    Inventors: Birgitte Stuer-Lauridsen, Thomas Janzen
  • PROBIOTIC BIFIDOBACTERIUM LONGUM
    Publication number: 20110177034
    Abstract: The invention relates to novel, probiotic, anti-inflammatory strains of Bifidobacterium longum, their use for treatment of diseases, and for preparation of human or pet food or pharmaceutical compositions. The strains produce high amounts of exopolysaccharides with a high content of mannose- and glucose residues. Accordingly, the invention also relates to a bacterial polysaccharide composition obtained from the strains, their use for treatment of diseases, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such polysaccharides.
