来自詹氏乳杆菌的耐热D-乳酸脱氢酶的酶学性质研究

【目的】D-乳酸脱氢酶是催化丙酮酸合成D-乳酸的关键酶。由于其不耐热,从而限制了D-乳酸高温发酵菌株的构建。本文从詹氏乳杆菌中克隆新型D-乳酸脱氢酶研究其酶学性质,为构建D-乳酸高温发酵菌株,进一步降低D-乳酸生产成本奠定基础。【方法】通过克隆詹氏乳杆菌的D-乳酸脱氢酶,将其进行体外表达,并与来自植物乳杆菌中的D-乳酸脱氢酶的最适温度、最适pH、动力学参数及热稳定性和热失活性相比较,研究詹氏乳杆菌D-乳酸脱氢酶的耐热性。【结果】詹氏乳杆菌的D-乳酸脱氢酶最适温度(45 °C)比植物乳杆菌中的D-乳酸脱氢酶的最适温度(30 °C)高很多,热失活的时间和温度均要比植物乳杆菌中D-乳酸脱氢酶高很多。同时其催化效率(kcat/Km)是植物乳杆菌D-乳酸脱氢酶的3倍左右。【结论】詹氏乳杆菌的D-乳酸脱氢酶具有更好的耐热性和更高的催化活力。

Probiotic properties of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis HV219, isolated from human vaginal secretions

AIMS: To determine the resistance of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis HV219 to acids, bile, antibiotics, inflammatory drugs and spermicides, compare adsorption of the strain to bacteria and Caco-2 cells under stress, and evaluate the antimicrobial activity of bacteriocin HV219. METHODS AND RESULTS: Bacteriocin HV219 activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria was confirmed by leakage of DNA and beta-galactosidase, and atomic force microscopy. Adsorption of bacteriocin HV219 to bacteria is influenced by pH, temperature, surfactants and salts. Initially, only 3% of HV219 cells adhered to Caco-2 cells. However, after 2 h, adherence increased to 7%. Strain HV219 and Listeria monocytogenes ScottA did not compete for colonization. Strain HV219 is sensitive to most antibiotics tested, but resistant to amikacin, ceftazidime, nalidixic acid, metronidazole, neomycin, oxacillin, streptomycin, sulphafurazole, sulphamethoxazole, sulphonamides, tetracycline and tobramycin. Ibuprofen, ciprofloxacin, diklofenak and nonoxylol-9 inhibited the growth of strain HV219. CONCLUSION: Strain HV219 is resistant to hostile conditions in the intestinal tract, including therapeutic levels of specific antibiotics and binds to Caco-2 cells, but not in competition with L. monocytogenes. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Strain HV219 will only be effective as probiotic if taken with specific antibiotics and not with anti-inflammatory drugs and spermicides.     

Pyruvate flux distribution in NADH-oxidase-overproducing Lactococcus lactis strain as a function of culture conditions

The influence of growth conditions on product formation from glucose by Lactococcus lactis strain NZ9800 engineered for NADH-oxidase overproduction was examined. In aerobic batch cultures, a large production of acetoin and diacetyl was found at acidic pH under pH-unregulated conditions. However, pyruvate flux was mainly driven towards lactate production when these cells were grown under strictly pH-controlled conditions. A decreased NADH-oxidase overproduction accompanied the homolactic fermentation, suggesting that the cellular energy was used with preference to maintain cellular homeostasis rather than for NADH-oxidase overproduction. The end product formation and NADH-oxidase activity were also studied in cells grown in aerobic continuous cultures under acidic conditions. A homoacetic type of fermentation as well as a low NADH-oxidase overproduction were observed at low dilution rates. NADH-oxidase was efficiently overproduced as the dilution rate was increased and consequently metabolic flux through lactate dehydrogenase drastically decreased. Under these conditions the flux limitation via pyruvate dehydrogenase was relieved and this enzymatic complex accommodated most of the pyruvate flux. Pyruvate was also significantly converted to acetoin and diacetyl via alpha-acetolactate synthase. At higher dilution rates, acetate production declined and the cultures turned to mixed-acid fermentation. These results suggest that the need to maintain the cellular homeostasis influenced NADH-oxidase overproduction and consequently the end product formation from glucose in these engineered strains.     

Acidic proteome of growing and resting Lactococcus lactis metabolizing maltose

The acidic proteome of Lactococcus lactis grown anaerobically was compared for three different growth conditions: cells growing on maltose, resting cells metabolizing maltose, and cells growing on glucose. In maltose metabolizing cells several proteins were up-regulated compared with glucose metabolizing cells, however only some of the up-regulated proteins had apparent relation to maltose metabolism. Cells growing on maltose produced formate, acetate and ethanol in addition to lactate, whereas resting cells metabolizing maltose and cells growing on glucose produced only lactate. Increased levels of alcohol-acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ADH) and phosphate acetyltransferase (PTA) in maltose-growing cells compared with glucose-growing cells coincided with formation of mixed acids in maltose-growing cells. The resting cells did not grow due to lack of an amino acid source and fermented maltose with lactate as the sole product, although ADH and PTA were present at high levels. The maltose consumption rate was approximately three times lower in resting cells than in exponentially growing cells. However, the enzyme levels in resting and growing cells metabolizing maltose were similar, which indicates that the difference in product formation in this case is due to regulation at the enzyme level. The levels of 30S ribosomal proteins S1 and S2 increased with increasing growth rate for resting cells metabolizing maltose, maltose-growing cells and glucose-growing cells. A modified form of HPr was synthesized under amino acid starvation. This is suggested to be due to alanine misincorporation for valine, which L. lactis is auxotrophic for. L. lactis conserves the protein profile to a high extent, even after prolonged amino acid starvation, so that the protein expression profile of the bacterium remains almost invariant.     

Lactobacillus lactis protoplasts at different stages of cell cultivation

Abstract Protein profiles of both protoplasts and cell homogenates of Lactobacillus lactis prepared in the course of cell multiplication were compared. The sodium dodecyl sulfate acrylamide gel electrophoretograms of whole cell homogenates and protoplasts show almost the same complexity. Protoplast protein profiles after 4 hours of growth exhibit new bands in both the low and high molecular mass region of the gel. The changes in protein composition during conversion of the cells into protoplasts are predominantly quantitative in nature.

Cloning of a chromosomal fragment from Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis partially complementing Escherichia coli recA functions

A recA-like gene was isolated from a gene library of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis by intergeneric complementation of an E. coli recA mutant. A plasmid was obtained which fully complemented the RecA response to DNA damaging agents and UV inducibility of prophage, but not P1 plating efficiency in an E. coli recA mutant. The cloned DNA fragment also partially complemented the rec mutation in Lc. lactis MMS36. Hybridization studies showed that there was no detectable sequence homology between the recA gene of E. coli and Lc. lactis subsp. lactis chromosomal DNA.

Atypical citrate‐fermenting Lactococcus lactis strains isolated from dromedary’s milk

Aim: The aim was to isolate and characterize Lactococcus strains with new properties compared to those of usual Lactococcus dairy starters derived from cow’s milk. Methods and Results: Algerian dromedary’s milk was screened for proteolytic isolates able to grow rapidly on agar milk medium. PCR experiments revealed that 74 proteolytic isolates belonged to the genus Lactococcus and harboured the prtP gene encoding the lactococcal cell‐surface proteinase. Among these, 85% were able to ferment citrate (Cit⁺ phenotype) and were classified as Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis. This classification was confirmed after sequencing of the 16S rDNA gene of five Cit⁺ isolates. In contrast to dairy lactococci described in the literature, several Cit⁺ isolates exhibited a tolerance to 50°C (Ther⁺) and alkaline pH. Two genetic approaches allowed to show the presence of four independent plasmids (so‐called pTher, pPrt, pLac, pCit) associated with the four respective phenotypes: Ther⁺, cell‐surface proteinase activity PrtP (PrtP⁺), lactose catabolism (Lac⁺) and citrate utilization (Cit⁺). Two types of pCit plasmid were amplified by inverse PCR: class 1 was characterized by a 9‐kb plasmid harbouring the expected lactococcal citQRP operon and class 2 by a 23‐kb plasmid harbouring the Leuconostoc cit cluster (citI‐CitMCDEFGRP). Conclusions: This work enlarges knowledge of the biovariety diacetylactis by far mainly limited to the citrate‐fermenting ability and suggests that the cit plasmid system of some lactococcal strains could have been acquired from another lactic acid bacteria (Leuconostoc spp.). Significance and Impact of the Study: This study reveals new potential dairy lactococci starters of the biovariety diacetylactis able to grow rapidly in milk at a higher temperature in addition to their casein, lactose and citrate‐utilizing abilities.
