Food microbiology is the study of the microorganisms that inhabit, create, or contaminate food.This includes the study of microorganisms causing food spoilage; pathogens that may cause disease (especially if food is improperly cooked or stored); microbes used to produce fermented foods such as cheese, yogurt, bread, beer, and wine; and microbes with other useful roles, such as producing ...

Campylobacter coli is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic, non-endospore-forming, S-shaped bacterial species within genus Campylobacter. [1] In humans, C. coli can cause campylobacteriosis, a diarrhoeal disease which is the most frequently reported foodborne illness in the European Union. [2]
Microbial food cultures are live bacteria, yeasts or moulds used in food production. Microbial food cultures carry out the fermentation process in foodstuffs. Used by humans since the Neolithic period (around 10 000 years BC) [1] fermentation helps to preserve perishable foods and to improve their nutritional and organoleptic qualities (in this case, taste, sight, smell, touch).
Eric A. Johnson is a microbiologist and an academic.He is a retired Professor of Bacteriology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, serving from 1985 to 2020. [1]Johnson, most known for his research on Clostridium botulinum and its neurotoxins in food and industrial microbiology, has developed physiochemical-based methods for basic and applied research of Clostridium botulinum and ...
Anne Arnold Madden is an American biologist, inventor, and science communicator who advocates for finding "microbial solutions to human problems." [1]Madden’s research on microscopic life is often featured in the press, particularly her studies on the microbial community of food, [2] [3] using advanced DNA techniques to create the first atlas of arthropods in USA homes, [4] [5] [6 ...
Lactococcus lactis is a gram-positive bacterium used extensively in the production of buttermilk and cheese, [1] but has also become famous as the first genetically modified organism to be used alive for the treatment of human disease. [2]
Fermented sausage harbor a variety of lactic acid-producing bacteria and, depending on the style, occasionally fungi. Fermentation not only decreases the pH by lactic acid production, but also produces a variety of flavor compounds through lipolysis.
