Research on lactic acid bacteria has advanced greatly in recent years and is assuming importance in many diverse areas including biotechnology, nutrition, health, and food safety. This book represents a broad review of current lactic acid bacteria research with contributions from a number of well-known scientists. The work encompasses a wide range of interests including both traditional and developing fields. An essential reference text for established researchers and a valuable introduction for the newcomer to the field. Authors include: Oscar P. Kuipers, Harry S. Rollema, Marke M. Beerthuyzen, Jan Roelof van der Meer, Willem M. de Vos, Roland J. Siezen, Livia Alm, E. Ryd-Kjellen, G. Setterberg, L. Blomquist, Daniele Atlan, Christophe Gilbert, Brigitte Blanc, Jacques Frot-Coutaz, Raymond Portalier, Michael J. Gasson, L. Stepaniak, P.F. Fox, T. Sorhaug, K. Sletten, R. Tobiassen, R. E. Brackett, D.Y-Y. Hao, Remy Cachon, Charles Divies, Bruno Pot, Danielle Janssens, Michael P. Heaton, Francis C. Neuhaus. Topics covered include:
• Biosynthesis and protein engineering of nisin
• Bacteriophage problems in starter cultures
• Proteolytic system of lactobacilli
• Endopeptidases, aminopeptidases and phosphatases
• Expression of heterologous genes
• Immobilisation of lactic acid bacteria
• Secondary cell wall polymers
