Next generation probiotics
The European Probiotics Association (EPA) revealed at EuroTier this week that Steven Frese, a phD researcher who is now based at the University of California, is the winner of its 2014 Jules Tournut Probiotics Prize. That competition is aimed at rewarding young students for their contribution to probiotic research.
Frese, who gave a presentation about his winning study, has been evaluating host specificity in Lactobacillus reuteri and its implications for the livestock industry.
