Our research interests focus mainly on physiology and genetics of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and bacteriophages active against them, which are involved in a number of fermentation processes representing dairy and non-dairy foods as well. Genetic approaches are emphasized to characterize essential traits, gene cloning, expression, and regulation of the genes responsible for enzymes used for food manufacturing processes and for antimicrobial proteins produced by LAB, including Leuconostocs strains isolated from fermented foods. We have also studied on rapid and specific detection of the foodborne pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes and Enterobacter sakazakii using newly developed molecular biology methodologies. Ecological aspects of bacteriophages and phage-resistant mechanism has been another major interests in this lab. Molecular characterization on LAB phages including Lactobacillus plantarum bacteriophages have been working for more than 10 years. Besides, many opportunities exist for basic studies in microbiology, genetics, and biochemistry with direct applications to food/dairy systems through modern biotechnology.
