The first Valorial’Connection event of the year was held at Lamballe this 1st February. It gathered more than 50 academic and AgriFood industry partners on site and as many online. Stéphane was invited to give a talk1 for presenting the EU DOMINO project and to talk, more specifically, on the role of data sciences in fermented foods area.

Halophilic and halotolerant bacteria are generally considered to live in natural environments such as see, although they can also be present in foods such as cheese and seafood. These salt-loving bacteria have occasionally been characterized in cheeses, and studies on their ecological and technological functions are still rare. In a previous study, we systematically characterized these micro-organisms in the rind of 13 traditional cheeses. We identified 35 halotolerant strains1, 8 of which were assigned to the Halomonas genus on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis.

Today marked the exciting kickoff of the FermenTwin project, funded by INRAE DIGIT-BIO metaprogram and coordinated by Guillaume Gautreau, an innovative venture set to develop a food microbiota digital twins of fermented vegetable juices.
