Cytotoxic, antioxidative, and ACE inhibiting activities of dolsan leaf mustard juice (DLMJ) treated with lactic acid bacteria

This study was performed to know whether there is any change of physiological activity in DLMJ which is inoculated by lactic acid bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria were isolated from Dolsan leaf mustard Kimchi (DLMK) at 20°C. In the optimum ripening period, the population ofLeuconostoc andLactobacilli in the DLMK were found to be high. TheLeuconostoc, Lactobacilli andLactococci strains were identified asLeuconostoc mesenteroides., Leuconostoc gelidum, Weissella confusa, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus raffinolactis, Lactococcus lactis andWeissella confusa using the Biolog system. The most predominant strain which was isolated from DLMK wasWeissella confusa. As the results of the phylogenetic analysis using 16s rDNA sequence, theWeissella confusa turned out to beWeissella kimchii, with 99.0% similarity. To investigated the change of physiological activity in DLMJ by lactic acid bacteria, 7 predominant strains inoculated to DLMJ (Dolsan Leaf Mustard Juice). The cytotoxicity was found to be under 19.55% all cases Also, the antioxidative activity of the DLMJ treated with lactic acid bacteria was very low, which might have been due to the reduced antioxidative phytochemicals during the preparation of the sterile, sample. The ACE inhibiting activity of DLMJ by inoculation withWeissella kimchii was shown to be the highest (94.0%). This could be that the degradation of sulfur containing materials in DLMJ byWeissella kimchii gave rise to ACE inhibiting activity.     

Species diversity and relative abundance of vaginal lactic acid bacteria from women in Uganda and Korea

AIMS: Lactobacilli play an important role in maintaining vaginal health of women. The aim of this study was to compare the species richness and relative abundance of Lactobacillus and other lactic acid bacteria in women of two geographically distant countries, Uganda and Korea. METHODS AND RESULTS: Vaginal samples were obtained from two women populations in Uganda and Korea. The Lactobacillus Rogosa SL agar was used for initial isolation of lactic acid bacteria. After phenotypic analyses, the 16S rRNA gene was amplified by polymerase-chain reaction and analysed by the BLAST program and phylogenetic tree construction. A total of 338 (128 Korean and 210 Ugandan) vaginal lactic acid bacterial strains were isolated, including five genera: Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus, Streptococcus and Weissella. While Lactobacillus crispatus was common in both populations, Lactobacillus fermentum was common only in Korean women, and Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus vaginalis only in Ugandan women. Among other lactic acid bacteria, Weissella was more common in Ugandan, and Pediococcus in Korean women. All Weissella strains produced hydrogen peroxide, and all Pediococcus strains inhibited Candida species. CONCLUSION: Although many lactic acid bacteria colonize women, their species distributions may be different in women of geographically separated communities. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The knowledge of species richness and relative abundance of vaginal lactic acid bacteria, including Lactobacillus, Pediococcus and Weissella, may lead to the design of better probiotic products as bacterial replacement therapy.     

Isolation and identification of cultivable lactic acid bacteria in traditional yak milk products of Gansu Province in China

Various traditional fermented yak milk and raw milk foods could be considered as an abundant resource for obtaining novel lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with unique properties. Eighty-eight samples of yak milk products were collected from Gansu Province in China. Three hundred and nineteen strains of LAB isolated from these samples were identified by phenotypic methods, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and PCR-Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) technology. Among the isolates, one hundred and sixty-four isolates (51.41% of the total) were classified under Lactobacilli, and one hundred and fifty-five (48.59%) belonged to cocci. All the isolates were classified to six genera (Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, Streptococcus, Enterococcus and Weissella) and twenty-one species. Lactobacillus helveticus (87 strains), Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides (49 strains), Streptococcus thermophilus (39 strains), Lactobacillus casei (31 strains) and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis (19 strains) were considered as the predominant populations in the yak milk products. The results showed that there were abundant genus and species LAB existing in yak milk products in Gansu Province in China. The obtained LAB pure cultures may be a valuable source for further starter selection.     

Identification of lactobacilli residing in chicken ceca with antagonism against Campylobacter

Bacteriocins produced by Lactobacillus salivarius have been recently recognized as a natural means to control Campylobacter and Salmonella in live poultry. This finding is of relevance since Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are the predominant species isolated from poultry that are associated with human campylobacteriosis. In the present work, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from the cecum of twenty Tunisian chickens were identified and those isolates with antagonism against Campylobacter were further characterized. Following their preliminary confirmation as LAB, 150 strains were identified by combining morphological criteria, biochemical tests, and molecular methods, the latter inluding intergenic 16S- 23S PCR, specific lactobacilli PCR, and a biphasic approach. Most of the LAB isolated belonged to the genus Lactobacillus, among them Lb. sakei (33.3%), Lb. salivarius (19.4%), Lb. reuteri (8.6%), and Lb. curvatus (8.6%). The other LAB strains included those of the genus Weissella (16.7%), Enterococcus faecalis (5.3%), Leuconostoc mesenteroides (2.7%), Lactococcus graviae (2.7%), and Streptococcus sp. (2.7%). The Lactobacilli strains were tested for their antagonism against C. jejuni and C. coli. The activity of three of them, Lb. salivarius SMXD51, Lb. salivarius MMS122, and Lb. salivarius MMS151, against the aforementioned target strains could be ascribed to the production of bacteriocins.     

Dynamics and biodiversity of populations of lactic acid bacteria and acetic acid bacteria involved in spontaneous heap fermentation of cocoa beans in Ghana

The Ghanaian cocoa bean heap fermentation process was studied through a multiphasic approach, encompassing both microbiological and metabolite target analyses. A culture-dependent (plating and incubation, followed by repetitive-sequence-based PCR analyses of picked-up colonies) and culture-independent (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis [DGGE] of 16S rRNA gene amplicons, PCR-DGGE) approach revealed a limited biodiversity and targeted population dynamics of both lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and acetic acid bacteria (AAB) during fermentation. Four main clusters were identified among the LAB isolated: Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus fermentum, Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides, and Enterococcus casseliflavus. Other taxa encompassed, for instance, Weissella. Only four clusters were found among the AAB identified: Acetobacter pasteurianus, Acetobacter syzygii-like bacteria, and two small clusters of Acetobacter tropicalis-like bacteria. Particular strains of L. plantarum, L. fermentum, and A. pasteurianus, originating from the environment, were well adapted to the environmental conditions prevailing during Ghanaian cocoa bean heap fermentation and apparently played a significant role in the cocoa bean fermentation process. Yeasts produced ethanol from sugars, and LAB produced lactic acid, acetic acid, ethanol, and mannitol from sugars and/or citrate. Whereas L. plantarum strains were abundant in the beginning of the fermentation, L. fermentum strains converted fructose into mannitol upon prolonged fermentation. A. pasteurianus grew on ethanol, mannitol, and lactate and converted ethanol into acetic acid. A newly proposed Weissella sp., referred to as "Weissella ghanaensis," was detected through PCR-DGGE analysis in some of the fermentations and was only occasionally picked up through culture-based isolation. Two new species of Acetobacter were found as well, namely, the species tentatively named "Acetobacter senegalensis" (A. tropicalis-like) and "Acetobacter ghanaensis" (A. syzygii-like).     

Characterization of lactic acid bacteria isolated from sourdoughs for Cornetto, a traditional bread produced in Basilicata (Southern Italy)

A total of 41 strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from durum wheat sourdoughs used to produce Cornetto di Matera bread, were identified by SDS-PAGE of whole cell proteins (WCP) and screened for acid production ability, antimicrobial activity and exopolysaccharide (EPS) production. The isolates were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum (49%), Leuconostoc mesenteroides (17%), Lactobacillus curvatus (15%), Lactobacillus paraplantarum (12%), Weissella cibaria (5%) and Lactobacillus pentosus (2%). Several strains of Lb. plantarum and Leuc. mesenteroides showed a high acid production ability. The antagonistic activity was tested using an agar-spot deferred antagonism assay against a set of five indicators. The species had different profiles of inhibition. Lb. plantarum had the largest spectrum of inhibition, while no isolates of W. cibaria and Leuc. mesenteroides showed antimicrobial activity. No strains had antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus. The inhibitory activity of five strains was confirmed to be sensitive to proteolytic enzymes and thus potentially due to bacteriocin production. All Leuc. mesenteroides and W. cibaria strains produced EPS from sucrose. Some Lb. plantarum and Lb. paraplantarum strains produced EPS from different sugars in solid media. EPS production in liquid media was different within the species, with the highest production in liquid media containing glucose and maltose. A defined strain starter culture (W. cibaria DBPZ1006, Lb. plantarum DBPZ1015 and S. cerevisiae MTG10) was selected on the basis of technological properties and tested in model sourdough fermentations.     

Cellular fatty acid composition of Leuconostoc oenos

The cellular fatty acid composition of 70 lactic acid bacteria was examined by capillary gas chromatography. Fifty-four Leuconostoc oenos strains, including three reference, type strains from the other Leuconostoc spp., nine Pediococcus spp. and two Lactobacillus spp. were studied. Eighteen fatty acids were determined, of which 10 were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The relative percentages of the 18 fatty acids of the Leuconostoc strains were analyzed numerically and grouped using the unweighted pair-group method. Results show that four clusters could be defined at r = 0.920, with five strains unassigned. The major fatty acids of the Leuc. oenos strains were found to be palmitic acid (C16:0), palmitoleic acid (C16:1–9), oleic acid (C18: 1–9), vaccenic acid (C18: 1–11), dihyrosterculic acid (C19-cyclopropane-9) and lactobacillic acid (C19-cyclopropane-11). It was mainly on the basis of the amounts of oleic acid and the C19-cyclopropane fatty acids that the strains of Leuc. oenos could be distinguished from each other. This is the first report of the occurrence of dihydrosterculic acid in lactic acid bacteria. For the majority of Leuc. oenos strains, the result obtained with the cellular fatty acid analysis confirmed the phenotypic relationships.
