Current technological shortcomings limit the economic viability of capturing and utilizing small sources of methane. The development of a reactor to overcome these limitations would unlock economic opportunity and incentivize reduced methane emissions. A microfluidic bioreactor containing immobilized methanotrophs has the potential to overcome these limitations by profitably converting small...
Dairy leuconostocs are frequently used as aroma-producing bacteria in mesophilic cultures used as starters for milk fermentations. Sixty Leuconostoc strains from different culture collections were studied taxonomically for species identification. Based on morphological, physiological and biochemical tests, twenty of these strains were typed as Leuconostoc mesenteroides ssp. cremoris (Leu. cremoris)....
Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris Ropy 352 and L. lactis
subsp. cremoris Hollandicus produce an exopolysaccharide (EPS) that
imparts commercially desirable textural and rheological properties
to fermented milk products. This ropy phenotype is expressed under
specific environmental conditions. A mucoid EPS phenotype, also
expressed under specific environmental conditions, but not involved...
