植物乳杆菌LpT1和LpT2体外降胆固醇机制

【目的】初步探讨植物乳杆菌LpT1和LpT2的体外降胆固醇机制。【方法】以MRS、MRS+CH、MRS+CH+S和MRS+CH+N四种培养基为基础,接种植物乳杆菌LpT1和LpT2进行培养,通过分析比较培养基上清液、菌体沉淀和菌体细胞内部胆固醇含量以及接种和未接种两种情况上清液、沉淀和细胞内胆固醇总量变化,推测植物乳杆菌体外降胆固醇机制。【结果】乳酸菌体外降胆固醇存在非代谢和代谢降解两条途径,非代谢途径与共沉淀作用和菌体吸收有关。代谢降解是由于植物乳杆菌在生长过程中产生了特殊的酶系,从而将胆固醇降解成其他物质,导致其含量降低。【结论】研究结果为进一步研究植物乳杆菌体外降胆固醇的机制奠定了良好基础。

用固定化方法研究超氧化物歧化酶的活性与结构的关系

 采用吸附、包埋、共价交联等方法固定化超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)所得固定化酶活力回收都不高,表明酶的催化反应速率受超氧阴离子自由基(O_2~-)扩散速率的控制。用海藻酸钠包埋SOD,固定化酶不表现活力,破固定化后所得的糊状物却有很高的活力。用戊二醛交联所得的固定化酶活力回收率也很低,表明ε-NH_3~+的正电荷是酶活力所必需。

A survey of lactic acid bacteria in Italian silage

G razia , L. & S uzzi , G. 1984. A survey of lactic acid bacteria in Italian silage. Journal of Applied Bacteriology 56 , 373–379.
Lactic acid bacteria, isolated from Italian ensiled products, were represented by strains of the genera Lactobacillus and Leuconostoc . The predominant strains were heterofermentative lactobacilli, with Lactobacillus buchneri being the most frequent. Among homofermentative lactic acid bacteria, strains of Lact. plantarum and Lact. casei were recovered. Almost all strains utilized malic acid and showed good acid-tolerance, but only some of them were able to metabolize malic acid at extremely low pH; these were five homofermentative lactobacilli (4 Lact. plantarum and 1 Lacr. casei var. casei ) and two heterofermentative lactobacilli ( Lact. cellobiosus and Lactobacillus sp.).     

苜蓿青贮用乳酸菌复合系Al2的组成多样性

苜蓿是高蛋白的饲料作物,青贮是保存青草过冬的主要手段,但苜蓿是难青贮的作物,添加乳酸菌制剂是解决苜蓿青贮难的有效措施。本研究室通过连续的限制性培养筛选到苜蓿青贮用乳酸菌复合系Al2,用变性梯度凝胶电泳(DGGE)、平板分离及建立16S rDNA克隆文库3种手段相结合分析Al2的组成多样性,确认Al2复合菌系由7株菌组成,全部属于Lactobacillus。其中3株菌Al2-1i,Al2-2i,Al2-3i通过平板分离得到,分别属于L.plantarum(99.9%)、L.kimchii(99.4%)、L.farciminis(100%)。在Al2复合菌系的16S rDNA克隆文库中,上述7种菌的组成比例分别为55.21%、19.79%、14.58%、3.13%、3.13%、3.13%、1.03%。     

Biological ensiling of sugarcane tops

The following lactic acid bacteria were isolated from sugarcane tops silage:Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus buchneri, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Pediococcus cerevisiae, Leuconostoc mesenteroides andStreptococcus lactis. The isolates were grown in a synthetic medium and the final pH, sugar uptake and the effect of adding CaCO₃ and L1, L2 and L3 factors was observed. The importance of the buffering capacity of the ensiled material for the silage process with a view to the occurrence of lactic acid bacteria is discussed.     

Use of DNA probes in the study of silage colonization by Lactobacillus and Pediococcus strains

P.S. COCCONCELLI, E. TRIBAN, M. BASSO AND V. BOTTAZZI. 1991. A technique to monitor lactic acid bacteria inoculants in silage, based on specific DNA probes, was developed and used to evaluate the colonization properties of two strains of Lactobacillus plantarum and one strain of Pediococcus pentosaceus which were used as maize silage inoculants in farm conditions. The results indicated that these three strains were able to dominate the natural microflora of the silage, representing more than the 95% of the bacterial biomass of the maize silage. These studies indicate that the colony hybridization with specific DNA probes may be an effective method for monitoring bacteria and evaluating the colonization properties of inoculants in maize silage.     

Usefulness of length heterogeneity-PCR for monitoring lactic acid bacteria succession during maize ensiling

The use of length-heterogeneity PCR was explored to monitor lactic acid bacteria succession during ensiling of maize. Bacterial diversity was studied during the fermentation of 30-day-old maize in optimal and spoilage-simulating conditions. A length heterogeneity PCR profile database of lactic acid bacteria isolated from the silage and identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing was established. Although interoperonic 16S rRNA gene length polymorphisms were detected in some isolates, strain analysis showed that most of the lactic acid bacteria species thriving in silage could be discriminated by this method. The length heterogeneity PCR profiles of bacterial communities during maize fermentation were compared with those on a database. Under optimal fermentation conditions all the ecological indices of bacterial diversity, richness and evenness, deduced from community profiles, increased until day thirteen of fermentation and then decreased to the initial values. Pediococcus and Weissella dominated, especially in the first days of fermentation. Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis and Lactobacillus brevis were mainly found after six days of fermentation. A peak corresponding to Lactobacillus plantarum was present in all the fermentation phases, but was only a minor fraction of the population. Unsuitable fermentation conditions and withered maize leaves in the presence of oxygen and water excess caused an enrichment of Enterococcus sp. and Enterobacter sp.     

Use of DNA probes in the study of silage colonization by Lactobacillus and Pediococcus strains

Diversity of a stable enrichment culture which is useful for silage inoculant and its succession in alfalfa silage

Alfalfa is a kind of forage that is difficult to ensile for good quality. Therefore, inoculants are always used to enhance the preservation of alfalfa silage. Through continuous restricted subcultivation, a lactic acid bacteria community (Al2) was selected from well-fermented alfalfa silage, which sharply decreased the pH level and produced a large amount of lactic acid. The adding of Al2 to alfalfa at ensiling resulted in a more rapid drop in pH and higher levels of lactic acid, and it also reduced the ammonia-nitrogen content significantly (P < 0.01). Plate isolation, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and the construction of a 16S rRNA gene clone library were used to identify the composition diversity of the Al2 community; seven strains were detected in the community, the predominant strain belonging to Lactobacillus plantarum. Samples of alfalfa silages of duration 0, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 30 days were studied with DGGE analysis. The DGGE band patterns of Al2-treated and non inoculated were rather different, and the components of Al2 were the dominant bacteria in Al2-treated silages, especially L. plantarum, while Pediococcus pentosaceaus was predominant in naturally fermented alfalfa silage.     

Monitoring Lactobacillus plantarum in grass silages with the aid of 16S rDNA-based quantitative real-time PCR assays

Ensiling plant material with the aid of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is a common agricultural practice for conserving forages independently of the time point of harvest. Despite ensiling being a natural process, it can be improved by the treatment of the harvested forage with starter cultures before storage. Within this context, Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) is the most frequently used LAB in commercially available starter cultures. In order to enable the monitoring of the population dynamics of L. plantarum in silage, methods for species-specific detection based on the 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequence were developed by applying a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR) approach. The QRT-PCR assay was also applied to estimate the development of the L. plantarum population within experimental grass silages. In addition, a multiplex QRT-PCR assay was developed to estimate the amount of L. plantarum 16S rDNA in relation to total bacterial 16S rDNA. This multiplex QRT-PCR assay was applied to monitor the influence of different silage additives on the L. plantarum population.     

Comparative analysis of amylolytic lactobacilli and Lactobacillus plantarum as potential silage inoculants

Abstract Two starch-degrading Lactobacillus strains, Lactobacillus amylovorus NRRLB4540 and Lactobacillus amylophilus NCIB11546, were assessed for their potential as silage inoculants. Lactobacillus amylovorus was considered suitable as a silage inoculant for crops which are low in water-soluble carbohydrate, but contain starch, which is unavailable to most conventional silage inoculants. This was on the basis of it exhibiting similar growth characteristics to an inoculant strain of Lactobacillus plantarum and secreting an amylase which was optimally active in the silage pH range. Lactobacillus amylophilus was found to be intolerant of low acid conditions but displayed considerable potential for the industrial production of lactic acid from inexpensive starch-based substrates as it fermented sugars to the desirable L(+) isomer of lactic acid only.
