Modeling for gellan gum production by Sphingomonas paucimobilis ATCC 31461 in a simplified medium
Article Abstract:
The optimum carbon sources and environmental factors for the production of gellan gum by Sphingomonas paucimobilis ATCC 31461 in a simplified medium are determined. The kinetic models have predicted that higher gellan gum production and higher conversion efficiency are obtained in fed-batch fermentation at the same total glucose concentration.

The enterococcal surface protein, Esp, is involved in Enterococcus faecalis biofilm formation
Article Abstract:
The surface protein Esp of Enterococcus faecalis is necessary for biofilm formation on polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride plastic surfaces. E. faecalis is a human commensal but it can cause urinary tract infection, surgical wound infection, bacteremia, and bacterial endocarditis.

Citrate metabolism by Enterococcus faecalis FAIR-E 229
Article Abstract:
Enterococcus faecalis FAIR-E 229 can metabolize citrate into products that can contribute to the flavor of cheese and other fermented dairy products. This bacterium is present in many dairy products and can even be the predominant microorganism in fully ripened cheese.
