Lactobacillus curvatus and Lact. sake are best adapted to meat fermentations and dominate the flora during the whole process. In fermenting sauerkraut, Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides is the major organism only during the early phase. In this environment Lact. curvatus and Lact. sake provide up to 50% of the microbial flora especially of the later phase, depending on the process conditions. Strains of Lact. curvatus and Lact. sake isolated from fermenting sauerkraut were identified by hybridization with species specific 23S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes and further characterized. In 59 of 72 strains, plasmid DNA was detected. Small cryptic plasmids of 20 strains were found to be homologous with pLc2, a 2·6 kb plasmid from Lact. curvatus LTH683, which was originally isolated from meat. The ability to compete was investigated in fermenting sausages of two strains each of Lact. curvatus and Lact. sake isolated from sauerkraut. One strain each of Lact. curvatus and Lact sake was found to outnumber the meat-borne flora and govern the process. 相似文献

J. SAMELIS, E. TSAKALIDOU, J. METAXOPOULOS AND G. KALANTZOPOULOS. 1995. To confirm the phenotypic characterization of 169 predominant sausage isolates of the Lactobacillus sake/curvatus group, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of whole-cell proteins of 29 representative strains was undertaken. The results of the electrophoretic analysis indicated that each species yielded a specific protein profile, identical to the respective type strain. It was shown that all melibiose-positive isolates belonged to Lact. sake , whether or not they were arginine- and maltose-positive, whereas all melibiose- and arginine-negative isolates were assigned to Lact. curvatus. A group which phenotypically appeared to lie between Lact. sake and Lact. curvatus , on the basis of arginine (+), melibiose (-) and maltose (-) reactions, was shown to be more closely related to Lact. sake. The SDS-PAGE method was valuable in distinguishing between species, but did not allow further differentiation of Lact. curvatus or Lact. sake strains displaying high heterogeneity in secondary physiological and biochemical properties. 相似文献

Lactobacillus curvatus CECT 904 and Lactobacillus sake CECT 4808 were selected on the basis of their proteolytic activities against synthetic substrates. Further, the effects of whole cells, cell extracts, and a combination of both enzymatic sources on muscle sarcoplasmic proteins were determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography analyses. Strains of both species displayed proteinase activities on five sarcoplasmic proteins. The inoculation of whole cells caused a degradation of peptides, whereas the addition of cell extracts resulted in the generation of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic peptides. This phenomenon was remarkably more pronounced when L. curvatus was involved. Whole cells also consumed a great amount of free amino acids, while the addition of intracellular enzymes contributed to their generation. L. sake accounted for a greater release of free amino acids. In general, cell viability and also proteolytic events were promoted when cell suspensions were provided with cell extracts as an extra source of enzymes. 相似文献

In this study, we focused our investigation on two strains of Lactobacillus curvatus, L442 and LTH1174, which are able to produce bacteriocins. L. curvatus LTH1174 is widely studied for its capability to produce curvacin A, while L. curvatus L442 was isolated from traditional Greek fermented sausages and was shown to possess a strong inhibitory activity toward
Listeria monocytogenes. By polymerase chain reaction, we were able to target in both strains the genes for the production of sakacin P and sakacin
Q, sppA and sppQ, respectively, both encoded chromosomally. While sppA was found to be conserved when compared with other sakacin P genes, sppQ showed a deletion of about 15 nucleotides when aligned with sequences obtained from Lactobacillus sakei. This difference did not affect the activity of sakacin Q as determined by testing sensitive strains. Expression analysis
highlighted that sakacin P was expressed in L. curvatus L442 but not in L. curvatus LTH1174. Curing experiments were performed on L. curvatus LTH1174 to study the effect of the megaplasmid, present in this strain. In the plasmid-cured strain, expression of the sppA gene was detected. sppQ was expressed in both plasmid-cured and wild-type L. curvatus LTH1174, although expression was higher in the plasmid-cured strain. 相似文献

A total of 221 strains of Lactobacillus isolated from meat and meat products were screened for antagonistic activities under conditions that eliminated the effects of organic acids and hydrogen peroxide. Nineteen strains of Lactobacillus sake, three strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, and one strain of Lactobacillus curvatus were shown to inhibit the growth of some other lactobacilli in an agar spot test; and cell-free supernatants from 6 of the 19 strains of L. sake exhibited inhibitory activity against indicator organisms. Comparison of the antimicrobial spectra of the supernatants suggested that the inhibitory compounds were not identical. One of the six strains, L. sake Lb 706, was chosen for further study. The compound excreted by L. sake Lb 706 was active against various lactic acid bacteria and Listeria monocytogenes. Its proteinaceous nature, narrow inhibitory spectrum, and bactericidal mode of action indicated that this substance is a bacteriocin, which we designated sakacin A. Curing experiments with two bacteriocin-producing strains of L. sake resulted in mutants that lacked both bacteriocin activity and immunity to the bacteriocin. Plasmid profile analysis of L. sake Lb 706 and two bacteriocin-negative variants of this strain indicated that a plasmid of about 18 megadaltons may be involved in the formation of bacteriocin and immunity to this antibacterial compound. In mixed culture, the bacteriocin-sensitive organisms were killed after the bacteriocin-producing strain reached maximal cell density, whereas there was no decrease in cell number in the presence of the bacteriocin-negative variant. 相似文献

Plasmid profiles of strains of Lactobacillus curvatus and L. sake isolated from meat or sauerkraut were analysed to investigate plasmid homology and distribution in relation to the ecology of these organisms in fermenting foods. A hybridisation probe was constructed by cloning of pLc2, a cryptic, 2.6-kbp plasmid from L. curvatus LTH683, into the Escherichia coli plasmid pRV50. In Southern hybridisations with the digoxygenine labeled pLc2 probe, pLc2-related small plasmids were frequently detected in meat-borne strains of L. casei subsp. pseudoplantarum, L. curvatus, L. sake, L. alimentarius, L. farciminis and L. halotolerans and in L. curvatus and L. sake isolated from sauerkraut. Among 27 Lactobacillus type strains originally isolated from habitats other than meat this type of homology was detected only with plasmids of L. buchneri and L. mali. Restriction-enzyme mapping of six small cryptic plasmids from L. curvatus and L. sake revealed strong structural homology but no similarity to previously characterized plasmids of lactobacilli. The presence of a variable region in addition to a conserved one and the occurrence of deletions during cloning of pLc2 suggest that vectors derived from these plasmids are likely to be structurally unstable. 相似文献

AIM: The study was carried out to assess the agreement of API 50 CH fermentation data of food lactobacilli with their RAPD profiles to determine whether the system could be used alone as a reliable taxonomic tool for this genus. METHODS AND RESULTS: API 50 CH, RAPD and DNA:DNA reassociation data for 42 lactobacilli from tef and kocho were compared with 30 type strains. Discrepancies were observed between the three methods in assigning strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, Lact. fermentum, Weissella minor and Lact. gallinarum, and Lact. fermentum, Lact. amylophilus, Lact. casei subsp. pseudoplantarum and Lact. rhamnosus. DNA reassociation data agreed well with RAPD results. CONCLUSIONS: API 50 CH profiles should be complemented with molecular genetic results for effective identification in Lactobacillus. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The study suggested less dependability of metabolic data alone as an identification tool. 相似文献

Five Lactobacillus strains (2 L. gasseri, 2 L. plantarum and 1 L. reuteri) were cultured in modified MRS medium containing fatty acids (FAs) instead of Tween 80 for 24 h at 37 degrees C, to learn the effect of saturated and unsaturated FAs on the Lactobacillus growth. Free FAs included palmitic (16:0), palmitoleic (c9-16:1), stearic (18:0), oleic (c9-18:1), elaidic (t9-18:1), cis-vaccenic (c11-18:1), vaccenic (t11-18:1), linoleic (c9, c12-18:2), conjugated linoleic (c9, t11- and t10, c12-18:2), alpha-linolenic (c9, c12, c15-18:3), alpha-eleostearic (c9, t11, t13-18:3), eicosapentaenoic (20:5), and docosahexaenoic (22:6) acids. Among free FAs, oleic acid stimulated the growth of all Lactobacillus strains, whereas palmitoleic acid had almost no affect on the Lactobacillus growth. Saturated FAs such as stearic and palmitic acids inhibited or did not affect the Lactobacillus growth. Polyunsaturated FAs such as alpha-linolenic, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids strongly inhibited the Lactobacillus growth at 7.6 x 10(-4) m. Octadecenoic acids such as oleic, elaidic, cis-vaccenic and vaccenic acids remarkably promoted the growth of L. gasseri, regardless of the different double bond positions and configurations. When oleic or cis-vaccenic acid was incubated with L. gasseri, the FAs was transformed to cyclopropane FAs (methyleneoctadecanoic acids) after incorporation into the cells. On the other hand, trans FAs such as elaidic and vaccenic acids incorporated into the cells were not converted to another FAs. Conjugated linoleic and alpha-eleostearic acids having a trans double bond promoted the Lactobacillus growth. The growth of L. gasseri was also stimulated by trans-rich free FAs from hydrogenated canola and fish oils. These results showed that octadecenoic acid and trans FAs had strong promotion activities for the Lactobacillus growth due to their incorporation into membrane lipids. 相似文献

Two closely related lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus sakei and Lactobacillus curvatus, are very difficult to be rapidly differentiated. Here we report multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based restriction enzyme analysis that is useful for rapid and reliable identification of these two species. This method employs both polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction enzyme analysis (REA). First, multiplex-PCR using three primers that were designed from 16S rDNA sequence produces two bands, a 433-bp and a 623-bp band. A 433-bp band represents only L. sakei and L. curvatus among lactobacilli and genetically related bacteria, and a 623-bp band is used for further identification by restriction analysis. Second, restriction analysis of 623-bp band using Hind III restriction enzyme discriminates L. sakei from L. curvatus. This method could identify 28 strains as L. sakei or L. curvatus, which were frequently isolated from kimchi, a traditional fermented cabbage product in South Korea. Therefore, these results suggest that this method is simple, rapid, and reliable for the identification of L. sakei and L. curvatus species. 相似文献

A comparison of cellular fatty acid profiles of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans DSM 642 and 14 wild strains of this species, isolated from two completely different environments, soil and the human intestine, was carried out. All the D. desulfuricans strains grown on lactate and sulfate indicated the presence of considerable amounts of i-C15:0, i-C17:1 and C16:0. Although differences in the quantities of individual fatty acids present in each strain were clear in the group of soil strains (similarity, 67.6%), in contrast to almost identical fatty acid patterns (similarity, near 100%) in the intestinal strains, the results were variable within the limits acceptable for species demonstration. The higher similarity of the fatty acid profiles of intestinal strains may be a result of the similarity of biocenoses in the human digestive tract. The coefficients of variability of i-C17:1 and i-C15:0 (the major branched-chain fatty acids), as well as clustering of the investigated strains compared with strains described in the literature after plotting percentages of i-C17:1 fatty acid against i-C15:0 fatty acid, confirmed a certain heterogeneity of cellular fatty acid profiles within the group of soil strains, in contrast to almost ideal homogeneity within the group of intestinal isolates. Intestinal strains contained a higher ratio of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids (2.2 +/- 0.14) than did soil strains (1.6 +/- 0.2; in one case, 2.7). We propose that intestinal D. desulfovibrio bacteria should be assumed to be a highly homogeneous group and should be represented by the strain D. desulfuricans subsp. intestinus in collections of microbial cultures. 相似文献

The protective effect of feeding milk fermented with a mixture of Lactobacillus casei and Lact. acidophilus against Shigella sonnei was studied. There was a 100% survival rate in mice fed for 8 d with fermented milk and then dosed orally with Sh. sonnei. The survival rate in control mice was approximately 60% after 21 d. Colonization of the liver and spleen with Sh. sonnei was markedly inhibited by pretreatment with fermented milk. Differences in cell counts of 2–3 log units between treated and control mice were always obtained, shigellas were not detected in these organs by the 10th day in treated mice, while high levels were maintained in the controls. Higher levels of anti-shigella antibodies were found both in sera and in small intestinal fluid of mice treated with fermented milk, suggesting that the protective immunity could be mediated by the mucosal tissue. These results suggest that milk fermented with Lact. casei and Lact. acidophilus could be used as a prophylactic against gastrointestinal infections by shigellas. 相似文献

Behaviour of Listeria monocytogenes in meat and its control by a bacteriocin-producing strain of Lactobacillus sake 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Lactobacillus sake Lb 706 can release a bacteriocin inhibitory to Listeria monocytogenes . In MRS broth, viable counts decreased rapidly when Lact. sake Lb 706 was added, whereas growth of the listerias was not affected by a bacteriocin-negative variant of the same Lactobacillus strain. Inhibition of L. monocytogenes was also observed in pasteurized minced meat inoculated with Lact. sake Lb 706. The bacteriocin produced is apparently effective in meat. However, the effect of the bacteriocin producer was less evident in minced meat than in broth. In comminuted cured raw pork filled into casings (German-type 'fresh Mettwurst'), L. monocytogenes was able to grow at a pH of 6.3, but addition of Lact. sake Lb 706 prevented the growth of listerias during the first few days after manufacture. At normal pH (5.7) L. monocytogenes did not multiply and addition of Lact. sake Lb 706 reduced viable counts of listerias by about one log cycle. Lactobacillus sake Lb 706 therefore may have some potential as a protective culture in meat products. 相似文献

The effects of various fats and fatty acids on the growth of Lactobacillus delbrueckii strains have been studied using modified MRS broth without Tween 80 as a basic growth medium. Among the six L. delbrueckii strains studied all except one strain required Tween 80 or Tween 20 as a fatty acid supplement for the growth. Tween 40 and Tween 60, which contain solely medium and long chain saturated fatty acids, inhibited the growth of all L. delbrueckii strains when present as a sole fat supplement in MRS broth. Free oleic acid but not free lauric acid could substitute Tween 80 or Tween 20 supplement suggesting that unsaturated fatty acids are essential growth factors for most L. delbrueckii strains. Among the natural food oils tested, the oils containing the lowest amounts of saturated long chain fatty acids promoted the growth of L. delbrueckii most effectively. Especially cellular C18:1 and C19 cyclopropane fatty acid contents of L. delbrueckii were strongly affected by exogenous fatty acid composition and by strain suggesting genetic diversity and polymorphism among the genes encoding and/or regulating cyclopropane synthase. In addition obviously most if not all L. delbrueckii strains lack particular synthase, desaturase and/or dehydrase activities required for de novo synthesis of long chain unsaturated fatty acids. These biochemical features could be used as informative chemotaxonomic characteristics for L. delbrueckii starter strain identification and selection. 相似文献

Abstract The bacterial fatty acids of three strains of Desulfobulbus grown on propionate were analysed. The fatty acid profiles of all three strains were very similar, being dominated by C17: 1Δ11, which represented approx. 50% of the total fatty acids, and with major contributions from C15:0, C16:0, C15:1, C18:1Δ11 and C14:0. This data indicates that all three strains are closely related despite their different habitats (1 marine and 2 freshwater) and that C17:1Δ11 is a biomarker for Desulfobulbus . 相似文献
