An interest to bacteriocins as natural alternative for antibiotics and chemical preservatives is grow at present. The selection of novel strains producing antimicrobial peptides is in focus. The probiotics are preferable because they are recognized as safe and thereby can be applied in medications, foods, feeds. Moreover, the benefits of probiotics for human and animal health is proved. The growth kinetics of industrial probiotic strains Lactobacillus plantarum B-11007, Lactobacillus salivarius B-2214 ? Lactobacil...

Honey is the unique product which forms in fermentation of flower nectar by bees. It has been known for its healing properties for many centuries. The prevail component of the honey is monosaccharides (first of all glucose and fructose). Nevertheless, di-, tri- and oligosaccharides as well as proteins and pigmenting phenolic compounds can be detected. The specific saccharides of honey are in interest as prebiotics. The phenolic compounds can suppress different microbes including pathogens and food contaminants. Th...

Currently, one of the priorities for sustainable development is human life getting better with functional foods. Non-dairy matrices are considered as promising alternative for production of foods and beverages with probiotic microbes. The development of these new products appears to be a hot area in which probiotic cereal beverages occupy a special place. The corn, buckwheat, oats, rye, wheat and barley flour was studied. Two-stage enzymatic hydrolysis of the water suspensions of the flour with amylases and protea...

Modern industrial biotechnology considers extremophilic microorganisms and, in particular, extreme halophiles as promising producers for the bioeconomy of the future. Extremely halophilic bacteria and archaea can be used for the production of carotenoids, polyhydroxyalkanoates, polysaccharides, osmoprotectors, thermostable enzymes, photosystem proteins, and can also be sources of unique biologically active substances for medical purposes. The implementation of large-scale industrial processes with minimal requirem...

The antibiotic resistance is one of biosphere scale problem created by not only the medicine, but veterinary, food industry and animal husbandry. Bacteriocins are defined as ribosomally synthesized peptides with narrow or in some cases broad antimicrobial activity producing by various bacteria, especially against closely-related species. Among bacteriocin producers food-grade lactic acid bacteria (LAB) provide an increase interest due to their safety, preservative ability and potential probiotic properties. Unlike...
