环丙沙星预先处理牙鲆消化道对干酪乳杆菌定植的影响

利用1株干酪乳杆菌,通过实验研究用环丙沙星预先处理牙鲆消化道后乳杆菌的定植和演替规律。在投喂含有1.2×10^9CFU/g乳杆菌的饲料5 d后,消化道定植的乳杆菌超过106CFU/g,其后维持在10^6～10^8CFU/g动态平衡中。同时随着乳杆菌的投喂,不经环丙沙星预先处理牙鲆消化道的正常组,鱼消化道的弧菌数从10^7～8CFU/g降低到10^6CFU/g左右;而经环丙沙星预先处理牙鲆消化道的药饵组,鱼胃、小肠和盲囊的弧菌数则是先增加,然后显著下降。停喂乳杆菌7 d后,2个实验组鱼消化道的乳杆菌均从10^5～6CFU/g下降到10^4CFU/g,干酪乳杆菌正常组鱼盲囊中弧菌从10^5CFU/g回升到10^6CFU/g,胃和小肠中弧菌数量基本不变。干酪乳杆菌药饵组则有所不同：除胃中弧菌数量则基本不变外,盲囊和小肠中弧菌数量继续下降,其原因有待进一步研究。实验结果表明,干酪乳杆菌能在牙鲆消化道内定植,而用预先处理牙鲆消化道后,更有利于乳杆菌的定植;乳杆菌的投喂和定植,使牙鲆消化道中的弧菌数量明显下降。     

Lactobacillus reuteri CRL 1098 prevents side effects produced by a nutritional vitamin B12 deficiency

Aims:  To evaluate the efficiency of the vitamin B_12-producing Lactobacillus reuteri CRL1098 strain in preventing the symptoms caused by a nutritional cobalamin-deficient diet in pregnant female mice and their weaned offspring.
Methods and Results:  Pregnant female mice were divided into three groups: animals fed with a B₁₂-deficient diet (DD), animals fed with DD plus L. reuteri CRL1098 and animals fed with a B₁₂-sufficient diet. The animals received the different feedings from the end of gestation up to weaning. At the end of the trials, they and their corresponding offspring were bled to determine haematological, immunological and histological parameters. The administration of the pseudovitamin B₁₂-producing strain prevented the symptoms observed in female and weaned young animals fed with a nutritional B₁₂-deficient diet.
Conclusions:  Our data suggest that the pseudovitamin B₁₂ produced by L. reuteri CRL1098 is biologically active and effective in preventing the pathologies caused by the nutritional deficiency of B₁₂ both in pregnant mice and their offspring.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  The ability of L. reuteri CRL1098 to prevent a nutritional vitamin deficiency was demonstrated for the first time. The addition of a GRAS micro-organism to complement the B₁₂ content in deficient foods is an interesting biotechnological alternative.     

Proteomic analysis of lactose-starved Lactobacillus casei during stationary growth phase

Aims:  Starvation stress is a condition that nonstarter lactic acid bacteria (NSLAB) normally encounter. This study was aimed to investigate starvation-induced proteins in Lactobacillus casei during stationary growth phase.
Methods and Results:  The impact of carbohydrate starvation on L. casei GCRL163 was investigated using two different media (a modified de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe broth and a semi-defined medium). Cells were grown in the presence of excess lactose (1%) or starvation (0%) and differences in the patterns of one-dimensional sodum dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and two-dimensional electrophoresis of the cytosolic protein fractions were investigated. Differentially regulated proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. Many differentially regulated proteins were enzymes of various metabolic pathways involved in carbohydrate metabolism to yield energy. Differences in protein expression were also observed in the two culture conditions tested in this experiment.
Conclusion:  Numerous glycolytic enzymes were differentially regulated under lactose starvation. The differential expression of these glycolytic enzymes suggests a potential survival strategy under harsh growth conditions (i.e. lactose starvation).
Significance and Impact of the Study:  This paper reports improved understanding of stress responses and survival mechanism of NSLAB under lactose-depleted cheese-ripening condition. This knowledge of how NSLAB bacteria adapt to lactose starvation could be applied to predict the performances of bacteria in other industrial applications.     

Characterization and purification of a new bacteriocin with a broad inhibitory spectrum produced by Lactobacillus plantarum lp 31 strain isolated from dry-fermented sausage

Aims:  Characterization and purification of a new bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus plantarum LP 31 strain, isolated from Argentinian dry-fermented sausage.
Methods and Results:  Lactobacillus plantarum LP 31 strain produces an antimicrobial compound that inhibits the growth of food-borne pathogenic bacteria. It was inactivated by proteolytic enzymes, was stable to heat and catalase and exhibited maximum activity in the pH range from 5·0 to 6·0. Consequently, it was characterized as a bacteriocin. It was purified by RP (reverse-phase) solid-phase extraction, gel filtration chromatography and RP-HPLC. Plantaricin produced by Lact. plantarum LP 31 is a peptide with a molecular weight of 1558·85 Da as determined by Maldi-Tof mass spectrometry and contains 14 amino acid residues. It was shown to have a bactericidal effect against Pseudomonas sp., Staphylococcus aureus , Bacillus cereus and Listeria monocytogenes.
Conclusions:  The bacteriocin produced by Lact. plantarum LP 31 may be considered as a new plantaricin according to its low molecular weight and particular amino acid composition.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  In view of the interesting inhibitory spectrum of this bacteriocin and because of its good technological properties (resistance to heat and activity at acidic pH), this bacteriocin has potential applications as a biopreservative to prevent the growth of food-borne pathogens and food spoilage bacteria in certain food products.     

Modeling and experimental studies on intermittent starch feeding and citrate addition in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of starch to flavor compounds

Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) is a combined process of saccharification of a renewable bioresource and fermentation process to produce products, such as lactic acid and ethanol. Recently, SSF has been extensively used to convert various sources of cellulose and starch into fermentative products. Here, we present a study on production of buttery flavors, namely diacetyl and acetoin, by growing Lactobacillus rhamnosus on a starch medium containing the enzyme glucoamylase. We further develop a structured kinetics for the SSF process, which includes enzyme and growth kinetics. The model was used to simulate the effect of pH and temperature on the SSF process so as to obtain optimum operating conditions. The model was experimentally verified by conducting SSF using an initial starch concentration of 100 g/L. The study demonstrated that the developed kinetic was able to suggest strategies for improved productivities. The developed model was able to accurately predict the enhanced productivity of flavors in a three stage process with intermittent addition of starch. Experimental and simulations demonstrated that citrate addition can also lead to enhanced productivity of flavors. The developed optimal model for SSF was able to capture the dynamics of SSF in batch mode as well as in a three stage process. The structured kinetics was also able to quantify the effect of multiple substrates present in the medium. The study demonstrated that structured kinetic models can be used in the future for design and optimization of SSF as a batch or a fed-batch process.
