Microbiology of 'obiolor': a Nigerian fermented non-alcoholic beverage

Obiolor is an acidic non-alcoholic beverage prepared by fermenting sorghum and millet malts. The traditional process for the production and microbiological characteristics of the beverage were investigated. Bacillus spp., Lactobacillus plantarum and Streptococcus lactis were the associated micro-organisms most actively involved. Yeasts were present in low numbers towards the end of the fermentation. Other micro-organisms isolated did not appear to play a role in the fermentation process. Variations in the important microbial groups involved and their metabolic products were studied. Titratable acidity increased gradually until the end of the fermentation while the total soluble solids and pH declined. Acetobacter spp. were probably responsible for the unacceptability of the product after 24 h.

Culture-Independent Analysis of Lactic Acid Bacteria Diversity Associated with Mezcal Fermentation

Mezcal is an alcoholic beverage obtained from the distillation of fermented juices of cooked Agave spp. plant stalks (agave must), and each region in Mexico with denomination of origin uses defined Agave species to prepare mezcal with unique organoleptic characteristics. During fermentation to produce mezcal in the state of Tamaulipas, not only alcohol-producing yeasts are involved, but also a lactic acid bacterial community that has not been characterized yet. In order to address this lack of knowledge on this traditional Mexican beverage, we performed a DGGE-16S rRNA analysis of the lactic acid bacterial diversity and metabolite accumulation during the fermentation of a typical agave must that is rustically produced in San Carlos County (Tamaulipas, Mexico). The analysis of metabolite production indicated a short but important malolactic fermentation stage not previously described for mezcal. The denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis of the 16S rRNA genes showed a distinctive lactic acid bacterial community composed mainly of Pediococcus parvulus, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus composti, Lactobacillus parabuchneri, and Lactobacillus plantarum. Some atypical genera such as Weissella and Bacillus were also found in the residual must. Our results suggest that the lactic acid bacteria could strongly be implicated in the organoleptic attributes of this traditional Mexican distilled beverage.     

Stable expression of the Lactobacillus casei bacteriophage A2 repressor blocks phage propagation during milk fermentation

A general strategy was applied to implement resistance against temperate bacteriophages that infect food fermentation starters through cloning and expression of the phage repressor. Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393 and phage A2 were used to demonstrate its feasibility as milk fermentation is drastically inhibited when the strain is infected by this phage. The engineered strain Lact. casei EM40::cI, which has the A2 repressor gene (cI) integrated into the genome, was completely resistant and able to ferment milk whether phage was present or not. In addition, viable phages were eliminated from the milk, probably through adsorption to the cell wall. Finally, the integration of cI in the genome resulted in a stable resistance phenotype, being unnecessary selective pressure during milk fermentation.     

Probiotication of tomato juice by lactic acid bacteria

This study was undertaken to determine the suitability of tomato juice as a raw material for production of probiotic juice by four lactic acid bacteria (Latobacillus acidophilus LA39, Lactobacillus plantarum C3, Lactobacillus casei A4, and Lactobacillus delbrueckii D7). Tomato juice was inoculated with a 24-h-old culture and incubated at 30 degrees C. Changes in pH, acidity, sugar content, and viable cell counts during fermentation under controlled conditions were measured. The lactic acid cultures reduced the pH to 4.1 or below and increased the acidity to 0.65% or higher, and the viable cell counts (CFU) reached nearly 1.0 to 9.0 x 10(9)/ml after 72 h fermentation. The viable cell counts of the four lactic acid bacteria in the fermented tomato juice ranged from 10(6) to 10(8) CFU/ml after 4 weeks of cold storage at 4 degrees C. Probiotic tomato juice could serve as a health beverage for vegetarians or consumers who are allergic to dairy products.     

Microbial Species Diversity,Community Dynamics,and Metabolite Kinetics of Water Kefir Fermentation

Water kefir is a sour, alcoholic, and fruity fermented beverage of which the fermentation is started with water kefir grains. These water kefir grains consist of polysaccharide and contain the microorganisms responsible for the water kefir fermentation. In this work, a water kefir fermentation process was followed as a function of time during 192 h to unravel the community dynamics, the species diversity, and the kinetics of substrate consumption and metabolite production. The majority of the water kefir ecosystem was found to be present on the water kefir grains. The most important microbial species present were Lactobacillus casei/paracasei, Lactobacillus harbinensis, Lactobacillus hilgardii, Bifidobacterium psychraerophilum/crudilactis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Dekkera bruxellensis. The microbial species diversities in the water kefir liquor and on the water kefir grains were similar and remained stable during the whole fermentation process. The major substrate, sucrose, was completely converted after 24 h of fermentation, which coincided with the production of the major part of the water kefir grain polysaccharide. The main metabolites of the fermentation were ethanol and lactic acid. Glycerol, acetic acid, and mannitol were produced in low concentrations. The major part of these metabolites was produced during the first 72 h of fermentation, during which the pH decreased from 4.26 to 3.45. The most prevalent volatile aroma compounds were ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl octanoate, and ethyl decanoate, which might be of significance with respect to the aroma of the end product.     

Free fatty acid accumulation by mesophilic lactic acid bacteria in cold-stored milk

This study was aimed to determine the accumulation of free fatty acid by mesophilic lactic acid bacteria (Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis 1471, Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris 1000 and Lactobacillus casei 111) in cold-stored milk. According to the results, all cold-stored milks had higher acid degree values than those of fresh milk. This phenomenon showed that a slight increase occurred in the accumulation of free fatty acids as a result of spontaneous lipolysis during cold storage. All lactic acid bacteria showed good performance in production of titratable acidity, which increased during fermentation of the milk (fresh and stored milks). Moreover, as the storage time was prolonged, more free fatty acid accumulation was obtained from the fermentation of the cold-stored milk by the investigated lactic acid bacteria. The control milk, which was without lactic acid bacteria, showed no change in the accumulation of free fatty acid during fermentation. From this result, it can be suggested that longer cold-storage time can induce higher free fatty acid accumulation in milk by lactic acid bacteria.     

Gastrointestinal survival and potential bioactivities of Lactobacillus curieae CCTCC M2011381 in the fermentation of plant food

Lactobacillus curieae CCTCC M2011381 is a novel strain isolated from stinky tofu brine. In order to evaluate the potential of the strain in fermenting plant foodstuff and possible bioactivity produced in fermentation, the growth of the strain in soymilk, soy protein isolate and ginkgo nut beverages was studied firstly. Cell counts of the strain could increase 4 log CFU/mL after 20 h of growth in all materials. The scavenging ratio of diphenyl picryl hydrazinyl radical was improved by the fermentation due to total flavonoids content increase, peptides formation, and efficient transformation of soy isoflavone glycoside to aglycone. Meanwhile, the fermentation significantly enhanced the inhibitions of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase of all the three materials. The highest inhibition of 67.2% was achieved by the fermented ginkgo nut beverage. The fermentation also significantly raise the inhibition of angiotensin I converting enzyme of soy protein isolate and ginkgo nut beverages. Finally, the strain was verified survival in mice gastrointestinal tract within all the fermented matrices. The highest cell count, 5.14 log CFU/g faeces, was detected at 5 d after the gavage of fermented soy protein isolate beverage. Accordingly, L. curieae has the prospect as the starter culture in fermentation of plant foodstuff.     

Effect of phenolic compounds, ethyl alcohol, and sodium metabisulphite on the lytic activity of phage PL-1 on a Lactobacillus casei S strain

The effect of phenolic compounds, ethyl alcohol, and sodium metabisulphite on the lytic activity of virulent bacteriophage PL-1 on a Lactobacillus casei S strain isolated from a lactic acid beverage fermentation was investigated. Catechin, caffeic, and gallic acids, commercially produced red, white, and champagne tannins, ethyl alcohol, and sodium metabisulphite inhibited plaque formation. Catechin, caffeic, and gallic acids were the most effective inhibitors of plaque formation. Commercially supplied oenocyanin was not effective.
