Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Profiling Uncovers Response Mechanisms of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris DSM 3922 T to Acid Stress

Abstract

Fruit juice spoilage caused by A. acidoterrestris contamination has become a major concern and challenge in the food industry, and this bacterium has been suggested as a target microbe in the design of the pasteurization process. However, the response mechanisms of A. acidoterrestris to acid stress still remain unknown.
