Statistical
analysis R: A language and environment for statistical computing (R Development Core Team (2008); R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria) was used for statistical analysis. Results were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and considered significant at p < 0.05. ALK inhibitor Sequence analysis and accession number The 16S ribosomal gene sequence was analyzed using the Blast server for identification of Procaryotes ( http://bioinfo.unice.fr/blast/). Sequence similarity searches were carried out using Basic Local Aligment Search Tool (BLAST) on the JGI website ( http://www.jgi.doe.gov/). Multiple alignments were obtained using the CLUSTALW2 program on the EMBL-EBI web site ( http://www.ebi.ac.uk/). The tool TreeTop of GeneBee Molecular Biology Server was used for phylogenetic tree construction ( http://www.genebee.msu.su/genebee.html). The partial nucleotide sequence of the tdc locus and the 16S ribosomal DNA sequence of L. plantarum IR BL0076 are available in the GenBank database under the accession
number [GenBank : JQ040309] and [GenBank : JX025073] respectively. Acknowledgements We are grateful to Benoît Bach from Inter-Rhône for providing the Lactobacillus plantarum strain IR BL0076. Mass spectrometry analyses were performed by the Lipides-Arômes platform, UMR FLAVIC, INRA Dijon.
