Lactic Acid Bacteria and Bifidobacteria: Current Progress

Description

Fill title edited due to title length restrictions – Lactic Acid Bacteria and Bifidobacteria: Current Progress in Advanced Research

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and bifidobacteria are foundational organisms in fermentation science and are widely studied in food microbiology for their functional roles in complex microbial ecosystems. Lactic Acid Bacteria and Bifidobacteria: Current Progress in Advanced Research is an expert-edited volume that consolidates modern, research-level advances across these organisms—bridging industrial relevance with the molecular and genomic frameworks driving current discovery. 

Edited by Kenji Sonomoto and Atsushi Yokota, the book emphasizes “what’s new and useful” for scientists: genomic perspectives on Lactobacillus, emerging gene manipulation approaches for Bifidobacterium, and metabolic pathways relevant to host-associated niches such as human milk oligosaccharide utilization. It also addresses real-world biological constraints, including oxidative and bile stress responses, protein quality control, and the diversity of antimicrobial peptides (bacteriocins) across LAB lineages. 

Beyond mechanisms, the volume surveys applied directions such as production of optically pure lactic acid and bioactive metabolite research, while keeping the framing grounded in evidence-focused scholarship. This is a strong fit for microbiology libraries, lab teams, and graduate researchers working in fermentation, probiotics, and microbial physiology who want an up-to-date reference rather than an introductory overview.
