  • Publication number: 20150086675
    Abstract: The dairy industry today faces a problem of providing an alternative to adding sweeteners to fermented milk products in order to achieve the desired sweet taste without the added calories. Furthermore, it would be highly advantageous to establish a method for reducing lactose in fermented milk products to a level which is acceptable for lactose-intolerant consumers. The above problems have been solved by providing mutant Streptococcus thermophilus strains and mutant Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus strains that excrete glucose to the milk when the milk is inoculated and fermented with such Streptococcus thermophilus strains and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp, bulgaricus strains.

  • Publication number: 20150079058
    Abstract: A Bacillus strain characterized by (i): sensitivity for ampicillin, vancomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, streptomycin, erythromycin, clindamycin, tetracycline and chloramphenicol; (ii) antimicrobial activity against E. coli and Clostridium perfringens; and (iii) a sporulation percentage of at least 80 when measured after 2 days of incubation. The invention further relates to a method for selecting such strains. Many of the identified strains according to the invention are of the species Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. Some of the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens were further identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. amyloliquefaciens whereas others were identified as amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum. A Bacillus strain of the invention may be used as a feed additive to animal feed where it has a probiotic effect.
