Lactic acid bacteria play an essential role in the  preservation of food raw materials and contribute to the nutritional,  organoleptic, and health properties of food products and animal feed.  The importance of lactic acid bacteria in the production of foods  throughout the world has resulted in a continued scientific interest  in these micro-organisms over the last two decades by academic  research groups as well as by industry. This research has resulted in  a number of important scientific breakthroughs and has led to new  applications. The most recent of these advances is the establishment  of the complete genome sequences of a number of different lactic acid  bacterial species. \u003cbr\u003e  To communicate and stimulate the research on lactic acid bacteria and  their applications, a series of tri-annual symposia on lactic acid  bacteria was started in 1983 under the auspices of the Netherlands  Society for Microbiology (NVVM), which was later also supported by the  Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS). The aim of  these state-of-the-art symposia is to offer a unique platform for  universities, institutes, and industry in this area of biotechnology,  to present recent work, to obtain information on new developments, and  to exchange views with colleagues from all over the world on  scientific progress and applications. The growing number of  participants at these symposia has been a clear demonstration of the  interest of the international industrial and scientific community in  this area of research. \u003cbr\u003e  The 7th Symposium is based on a number of plenary lectures that review  the scientific progress of the last years in the different areas of  research on lactic acid bacteria, and which are documented in this  special issue of \u003cem\u003eAntonie van Leeuwenhoek\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2002-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781402009228\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-2029-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 378\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266216054924,"sku":"9781402009228","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402009228.jpg?v=1770815382","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781402009228","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
