Identification and characterization of lactic acid bacteria isolated from traditional pickles in Sichuan, China

The pickle, a traditional fermented vegetable product, is popular in Sichuan Province of China. The objective of this study was to investigate the diversity of dominant lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in pickles by analyzing 36 samples collected from 6 different regions in Sichuan Province. The LAB counts in these samples varied from 3.90 to 8.40 log cfu ml^-1. In total, 185 presumptive LAB with Gram-positive and catalase-negative properties were obtained from these samples using MRS agar, and those strains were identified at the species level by physiological tests, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and multiplex PCR assay. The results revealed that all isolates were accurately identified as Enterococcus thailandicus (2 strains), Lactobacillus alimentarius (16 strains), L. brevis (24 strains), L. paracasei (9 strains), L. plantarum (81 strains), L. pentosus (38 strains), L. sakei (8 strains), L. spicheri (1 strain), Leuconostoc lactis (1 strain) and Pediococcus ethanolidurans (5 strains). The predominant LAB in Sichuan pickle was L. plantarum, which were isolated from most samples. The results also demonstrated that different regions in Sichuan Province have complex compositions of LAB species, and such a rich resource of LAB strains provides raw data for further studies involving probiotic strain selection.     

Detection of alcohol-tolerant hiochi bacteria by PCR.

We report a sensitive and rapid method for detection of hiochi bacteria by PCR. This method involves the electrophoresis of amplified DNA. Nucleotide sequences of the spacer region between 16S and 23S rRNA genes of 11 Lactobacillus strains were identified by analysis of PCR products. Five primers were designed by analysis of similarities among these sequences. A single cell of Lactobacillus casei subsp. casei could be detected when purified genomic DNA was used as the template. When various cell concentrations of L. casei subsp. casei were added to 50 ml of pasteurized sake and the cells were recovered, the detection limit was about one cell. No discrete band was observed in electrophoresis after PCR when human, Escherichia coli, mycoplasma, Acholeplasma, yeast, or mold DNA was used as the template.     

Evaluation of amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) and species-specific PCR for identification of Bifidobacterium species

Molecular biological methods based on genus-specific PCR, species-specific PCR, and amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) of two PCR amplicons (523 and 914bp) using six restriction enzymes were used to differentiate among species of Bifidobacterium. The techniques were established using DNA from 16 type and reference strains of bifidobacteria of 11 species. The discrimination power of 914bp amplicon digestion was higher than that of 523bp amplicon digestion. The 914bp amplicon digestion by six restrictases provided unique patterns for nine species; B. catenulatum and B. pseudocatenulatum were not differentiated yet. The NciI digestion of the 914bp PCR product enabled to discriminate between each of B. animalis, B. lactis, and B. gallicum. The reference strain B. adolescentis CCM 3761 was reclassified as a member of the B. catenulatum/B. pseudocatenulatum group. The above-mentioned methods were applied for the identification of seven strains of Bifidobacterium spp. collected in the Culture Collection of Dairy Microorganisms (CCDM). The strains collected in CCDM were differentiated to the species level. Six strains were identified as B. lactis, one strain as B. adolescentis.     

Species-specific oligonucleotide probes for the detection and identification of Lactobacillus isolated from mouse faeces

AIMS: To develop species-specific monitoring techniques for rapid detection and identification of Lactobacillus isolated from mouse faeces. METHODS AND RESULTS: The specificity of oligonucleotide probes was evaluated by dot blot hybridization to 16S rDNA and 23S rDNA amplified by PCR from 12 Lactobacillus type strains and 100 strains of Lactobacillus isolated from mouse faeces. Oligonucleotide probes specific for each Lactobacillus species hybridized only with targeted rDNA. The Lactobacillus strains isolated from mouse faeces were identified mainly as Lactobacillus intestinalis, L. johnsonii, L. murinus and L. reuteri using species-specific probes. 16S rDNA of eight unidentified isolates were sequenced and two new probes were designed. Four of eight strains of unhybridized Lactobacillus were identified as L. johnsonii/gasseri group, and the remaining four strains as L. vaginalis. CONCLUSIONS: The species-specific probe set of L. intestinalis, L. johnsonii, L. murinus, L. reuteri and L. vaginalis in this study was efficient for rapid identification of Lactobacillus isolated from mouse faeces. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The oligonucleotide probe set for Lactobacillus species harboured in the mouse intestine, can be used for rapid identification of lactobacilli and monitoring of the faecal Lactobacillus community.     

Rapid identification of Lactobacillus brevis using the polymerase chain reaction

AIMS: Species-specific PCR was applied to identify Lactobacillus brevis and the sensitivity and the specificity of the protocol were determined. METHODS AND RESULTS: Strains of Lact. brevis obtained from foods, particularly dairy products, and various strain collections, were identified by PCR using primers which amplified a 1340 bp fragment within the 16S rRNA gene. The PCR product was obtained after amplification of all the Lact. brevis strains tested; the size of the amplicon was as expected. No PCR products were observed after amplification from DNA of several lactic acid bacteria (LAB) species. CONCLUSIONS: A PCR method was optimized to identify Lact. brevis. The protocol was highly efficient and sensitive. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Conventional phenotypic methods often lead to ambiguous identification of LAB species belonging to Lact. brevis. The proposed protocol is sensitive, specific, and can be applied to total DNA extracted by use of chelating matrix with loss of neither sensitivity nor specificity.

Detection of Leptospiraceae by amplification of 16S ribosomal DNA

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed to detect Leptospiraceae. Primers were used to amplify 1 631 base-pair (bp) 5'-region of 16S rDNA. Representative strains from the species, Leptospira interrogans sensu stricto, L. borgpetersenii, L. noguchii, L. santarosai, L. weilii, L. inadai, L. meyeri and the single member strain of Leptonema were amplified. In contrast, strains representing the saprophytic species. L. biflexa, L. wolbachii and L. parva were not amplified. There was no PCR product from 23 phylogenetically unrelated species of bacteria. As little as 10-1 pg of purified DNA and as few as 10-1 leptospires could be detected using the PCR analysis. Isolates of leptospires from clinical sources gave a positive PCR band, but those from surface waters did not.

Mycobacterium species identification--a new approach via dnaJ gene sequencing

The availability of the dnaJ1 gene for identifying Mycobacterium species was examined by analyzing the complete dnaJ1 sequences (approximately 1200 bp) of 56 species (54 of them were type strains) and comparing sequence homologies with those of the 16S rRNA gene and other housekeeping genes (rpoB, hsp65). Among the 56 Mycobacterium species, the mean sequence similarity of the dnaJ1 gene (80.4%) was significantly less than that of the 16S rRNA, rpoB and hsp65 genes (96.6%, 91.3% and 91.1%, respectively), indicating a high discriminatory power of the dnaJ1 gene. Seventy-one clinical isolates were correctly clustered to the corresponding type strains, showing isolates belonging to the same species. In order to propose a method for strain identification, we identified an area with a high degree of polymorphism, bordered by conserved sequences, that can be used as universal primers for PCR amplification and sequencing. The sequence of this fragment (approximately 350 bp) allows accurate species identification and may be used as a new tool for the identification of Mycobacterium species.
