Spanish Network of Lactic Acid Bacteria (RedBal)
Description
Research network dedicated to the study of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that play a relevant role in our daily lives (LAB).
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are bacteria that produce lactic acid from glucose and are naturally found in nutrient-rich environments, such as vegetables, fruits, and milk, as well as in various anatomical locations in animals, for example, in the intestine or mammary gland, from where they reach breast milk. Some LAB have beneficial properties, and their consumption as probiotics helps maintain the health of both humans and animals.
The network integrates 51 groups belonging to various research entities for 4 lines of research:
- HUMAN AND ANIMAL MICROBIOTA. PROBIOTICS;
- FOOD MICROBIOTA. TECHNOLOGY;
- BIOTECHNOLOGY;
- FOOD QUALITY AND SAFETY.
