From Diversity to Dominance: How Salt and CO2 Shape LAB-dominated Ecosystems in Vegetable Fermentations

Tom Eilers, Tim Van Rillaer, Stijn Wittouck…·Sarah Lebeer

This study investigates how salt and CO2 levels influence microbial community dynamics in vegetable fermentations, showing that lower salt delays LAB dominance while CO2 mitigates Enterobacterales growth.

Exopolysaccharides of Lactobacillus crispatus mediate key balancing interactions with the vaginal mucosa

Vanessa Croatti, Caroline E. M. K. Dricot, Tom Eilers…·Sarah Lebeer

This study identifies exopolysaccharides (EPS) from Lactobacillus crispatus as critical for modulating immune responses in the vaginal mucosa, with EPS disruption leading to pro-inflammatory effects.
