The screening of three strains of lactic acid bacteria identified as Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus reuteri, and Lactobacillus helveticus showed significant antagonistic activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae strains characterized by multiple antibiotic resistance. Lactobacilli cocultivated with the Klebsiella strains inhibited their growth 20 to 86% on the first and second days, respectively. Exoproteome analysis of L. rhamnosus cocultivated with K. pneumoniae revealed the induction of peptidoglycan hydrolases, including extracellular lytic transglycosylases, family II (MltA), and endopeptidases capable of disrupting the peptidoglycan bacterial cell wall. 相似文献

Lacto-N-biose (LNB) and galacto-N-biose (GNB) are major building blocks of free oligosaccharides and glycan moieties of glyco-complexes present in human milk and gastrointestinal mucosa. We have previously characterized the phospho-β-galactosidase GnbG from Lactobacillus casei BL23 that is involved in the metabolism of LNB and GNB. GnbG has been used here in transglycosylation reactions, and it showed the production of LNB and GNB with N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylgalactosamine as acceptors, respectively. The reaction kinetics demonstrated that GnbG can convert 69 ± 4 and 71 ± 1 % of o-nitrophenyl-β-d-galactopyranoside into LNB and GNB, respectively. Those reactions were performed in a semi-preparative scale, and the synthesized disaccharides were purified. The maximum yield obtained for LNB was 10.7 ± 0.2 g/l and for GNB was 10.8 ± 0.3 g/l. NMR spectroscopy confirmed the molecular structures of both carbohydrates and the absence of reaction byproducts, which also supports that GnbG is specific for β1,3-glycosidic linkages. The purified sugars were subsequently tested for their potential prebiotic properties using Lactobacillus species. The results showed that LNB and GNB were fermented by the tested strains of L. casei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus (except L. rhamnosus strain ATCC 53103), Lactobacillus zeae, Lactobacillus gasseri, and Lactobacillus johnsonii. DNA hybridization experiments suggested that the metabolism of those disaccharides in 9 out of 10 L. casei strains, all L. rhamnosus strains and all L. zeae strains tested relies upon a phospho-β-galactosidase homologous to GnbG. The results presented here support the putative role of human milk oligosaccharides for selective enrichment of beneficial intestinal microbiota in breast-fed infants. 相似文献

Three hundred and sixty presumptive lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from pregnant sows, newborn, suckling, and weaned piglets were preliminarily screened for anti-Salmonella activity. Fifty-eight isolates consisting of Lactobacillus reuteri (n = 32), Lactobacillus salivarius (n = 10), Lactobacillus mucosae (n = 8), Lactobacillus johnsonii (n = 5), and Lactobacillus crispatus (n = 3) were selected and further characterized for probiotic properties including production of antimicrobial substances, acid and bile tolerance, and cell adherence to Caco-2 cells. Eight isolates including Lact. johnsonii LJ202 and Lact. reuteri LR108 were identified as potential probiotics. LJ202 was selected for further use in co-culture studies of two-bacterial and multiple-bacterial species to examine its inhibitory activity against Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis DMST7106 (SE7106). Co-culture of LJ202 and SE7106 showed that LJ202 could completely inhibit the growth of SE7106 in 10 h of co-culture. In co-culture of multiple-bacterial species, culturable fecal bacteria from pig feces were used as representative of multiple-bacterial species. The study was performed to examine whether interactions among multiple-bacterial species would influence antagonistic activity of LJ202 against SE7106 and fecal coliform bacteria. Co-culture of SE7106 with different combinations of fecal bacteria and probiotic (LJ202 and LR108) or non-probiotic (Lact. mucosae LM303) strains revealed that the growth of SE7106 was completely inhibited either in the presence or in the absence of probiotic strains. Intriguingly, LJ202 exhibited notable inhibitory activity against fecal coliform bacteria while LR108 did not. Taken together, the results of co-culture studies suggested that LJ202 is a good probiotic candidate for further study its inhibitory effects against pathogen infections in pigs. 相似文献

Antimicrobial and immunomodulatory potential of various Lactobacillus reuteri strains is closely connected to their metabolite production profile under given cultivation conditions. We determined the in vitro production of antimicrobial substances such as organic acids, ethanol, and reuterin by four strains of L. reuteri (L. reuteri E, L. reuteri KO5, L. reuteri CCM 3625, and L. reuteri ATCC 55730). All studied L. reuteri strains showed the ability to produce lactic acid, acetic acid, and ethanol with concominant consumption of glucose and together with phenyllactic acid—a potent antifungal compound—with concominant consumption of phenylalanine. The reuterin production from glycerol was confirmed for all analyzed lactobacilli strains except L. reuteri CCM 3625. Production of organic acids, ethanol, and reuterin is significantly involved in antimicrobial activity of lactobacilli which was determined using the dual-culture overlay diffusion method against six indicator bacteria and five indicator moulds. In comparison to the referential L. reuteri ATCC 55730, the highest inhibition potential was observed against Escherichia coli CCM 3988 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa CCM 3955. Among analyzed indicators of moulds, the growth of Alternaria alternata CCM F-128 was the most inhibited by all four analyzed L. reuteri strains. Finally, the immunomodulatory potential of analyzed lactobacilli were proven by the determination of the in vitro production of biogenic amines histamine and tyramine. L. reuteri CCM 3625 was able to produce tyramine, and L. reuteri E and L. reuteri KO5 were able to produce histamine under given cultivation conditions. 相似文献

Objective
To investigate the aerotolerance of Lactobacillus rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 and its influencing factors.Results
The growth rate of L. rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 weakened noticeably when the concentration of supplemented H2O2 reached 1 mM, and only 2% of all L. rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 cells survived in MRS broth supplemented with 2 mM H2O2 for 1 h. After pretreatment with 0.5 mM H2O2, the surviving cells of L. rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 in the presence of 5 mM H2O2 for 1 h increased from 3.7 to 7.8 log CFU. Acid stress, osmotic stress, and heat stress at 46 °C also enhanced its aerotolerance, while heat stress at 50 °C reduced the tolerance of L. rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 to oxidative stress. Moreover, treatment with 0.5 mM H2O2 increased the heat stress tolerance of L. rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 by approximately 150-fold.Conclusions
Lactobacillus rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 possesses a stress-inducible defense system against oxidative stress, and the cross-adaptation to different stresses is a promising target to increase the stress tolerance of L. rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 during probiotic food and starter culture production.6.
Eleven Lactobacillus plantarum from Slovak ovine and caprine lump and stored cheeses, and from four commercial probiotic and yogurt cultures (Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus acidophilus) identified using a Maldi-TOF MS analysis were screened in vitro for selected aspects correlated with safety (antibiotic susceptibility patterns, biochemical and haemolytic activity, presence of genes responsible for biogenic amines production), functional traits (including acid, bile tolerance and antimicrobial activity), ecological roles (ability to produce biofilms), and technological applications (acidification and milk coagulation capacity) for assurance of their quality and diversity. The antibiotic susceptibility showed two L. plantarum strains, 19l5 and 18l4, with the presence of the non-wild-type ECOFFs (epidemiological cut-off) for clindamycin and/or gentamicin. All these strains expressed a high acid tolerance at pH 2.5 after a 4 h exposure (bacteria viability varied between 60% and 91%), and bile resistance at 0.3% oxgall ranged from 60% to 99% with no haemolytic activity. Three wild L. plantarum strains, 17l1, 16l4, 18l2, had no harmful metabolic activities, and formed strong biofilms that were measured by a crystal violet assay. Simultaneously, the acid cell-free culture supernatant (ACFCS) from L. plantarum 18l2 had a marked inhibitory effect on the viability of the pathogens as evaluated by flow-cytometry, and also exhibited fast acidification and milk coagulation. As a result, we conclude that L. plantarum 18l2 can be included as part of the created lactobacilli collection that is useful as a starter, or starter adjunct, in the dairy industry, due to its desirable safety and probiotic characteristics, together with rapid acidification capacity compared with other investigated strains from commercially accessible products. 相似文献

Fungi are commonly involved in dairy product spoilage and the use of bioprotective cultures can be a complementary approach to reduce food waste and economic losses. In this study, the antifungal activity of 89 Lactobacillus and 23 Pediococcus spp. isolates against three spoilage species, e.g., Yarrowia lipolytica, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and Penicillium brevicompactum, was first evaluated in milk agar. None of the tested pediococci showed antifungal activity while 3, 23 and 43 lactobacilli isolates showed strong antifungal activity or total inhibition against Y. lipolytica, R. mucilaginosa and P. brevicompactum, respectively. Then, the three most promising strains, Lactobacillus paracasei SYR90, Lactobacillus plantarum OVI9 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus BIOIII28 at initial concentrations of 105 and 107 CFU/ml were tested as bioprotective cultures against the same fungal targets in a yogurt model during a 5-week storage period at 10 °C. While limited effects were observed at 105 CFU/ml inoculum level, L. paracasei SYR90 and L. rhamnosus BIOIII28 at 107 CFU/ml respectively retarded the growth of R. mucilaginosa and P. brevicompactum as compared to a control without selected cultures. In contrast, growth of Y. lipolytica was only slightly affected. In conclusion, these selected strains may be good candidates for bioprotection of fermented dairy products. 相似文献

Background
Acid stress impacts the persistence of lactobacilli in industrial sourdough fermentations, and in intestinal ecosystems. However, the contribution of glutamate to acid resistance in lactobacilli has not been demonstrated experimentally, and evidence for the contribution of acid resistance to the competitiveness of lactobacilli in sourdough is lacking. It was therefore the aim of this study to investigate the ecological role of glutamate decarboxylase in L. reuteri.Results
A gene coding for a putative glutamate decarboxylase, gadB, was identified in the genome of L. reuteri 100-23. Different from the organization of genetic loci coding for glutamate decarboxylase in other lactic acid bacteria, gadB was located adjacent to a putative glutaminase gene, gls3. An isogenic deletion mutant, L. reuteri ?gadB, was generated by a double crossover method. L. reuteri 100-23 but not L. reuteri ?gadB converted glutamate to γ-aminobutyrate (GABA) in phosphate butter (pH 2.5). In sourdough, both strains converted glutamine to glutamate but only L. reuteri 100-23 accumulated GABA. Glutamate addition to phosphate buffer, pH 2.5, improved survival of L. reuteri 100-23 100-fold. However, survival of L. reuteri ?gadB remained essentially unchanged. The disruption of gadB did not affect growth of L. reuteri in mMRS or in sourdough. However, the wild type strain L. reuteri 100-23 displaced L. reuteri ?gadB after 5 cycles of fermentation in back-slopped sourdough fermentations.Conclusions
The conversion of glutamate to GABA by L. reuteri 100-23 contributes to acid resistance and to competitiveness in industrial sourdough fermentations. The organization of the gene cluster for glutamate conversion, and the availability of amino acids in cereals imply that glutamine rather than glutamate functions as the substrate for GABA formation. The exceptional coupling of glutamine deamidation to glutamate decarboxylation in L. reuteri likely reflects adaptation to cereal substrates.9.

This study characterized probiotics Kocuria SM1 and Rhodococcus SM2, which were recovered from the intestinal microbiota of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum). The cultures were Gram-positive, non-motile, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative cocci or rods. Cell multiplication of SM1 and SM2 was observed at 4–37 °C (45 °C for SM1), in 0–20% (w/v) NaCl and at pH 2–11. The viability was not affected when exposed to pepsin at pH 2.0 and 3.0, and pancreatin at pH 8.0. Neither isolates were chrome azurol S-positive for siderophore production. Of the 19 common enzymes analysed using the API-ZYM system, only 8 were evident in the culture of SM1 compared to 11 enzymes for SM2. The secondary metabolites of both probiotics were inhibitory to Acinetobacter baumannii, Vibrio anguillarum and V. ordalii; SM2 inhibited Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. SM2 was resistant to penicillin and sulphatriad, out of six antimicrobial agents; SM1 was resistant to sulphatriad. These results suggest that Kocuria SM1 and Rhodococcus SM2 are able to grow over a wide range of temperature, salinity and pH, including in conditions that mimic the gastrointestinal environment of fish and produce extracellular enzymes that may have a role in the host digestive processes. Importantly, Rhodococcus SM2 displays a high degree of bacteriocinogenic potential against multi-drug-resistant human pathogens that have never been documented among the gut microbiota of fish. 相似文献

Vaginal commensal lactobacilli are considered to contribute significantly to the control of vaginal microbiota by competing with other microflora for adherence to the vaginal epithelium and by producing antimicrobial compounds. However, the molecular mechanisms of symbiotic prokaryotic-eukaryotic communication in the vaginal ecosystem remain poorly understood. Here, we showed that both DNA methylation and histone modifications were associated with expression of the DEFB1 gene, which encodes the antimicrobial peptide human β-defensin-1, in vaginal keratinocyte VK2/E6E7 cells. We investigated whether exposure to Lactobacillus gasseri and Lactobacillus reuteri would trigger the epigenetic modulation of DEFB1 expression in VK2/E6E7 cells in a bacterial species-dependent manner. While enhanced expression of DEFB1 was observed when VK2/E6E7 cells were exposed to L. gasseri, treatment with L. reuteri resulted in reduced DEFB1 expression. Moreover, L. gasseri stimulated the recruitment of active histone marks and, in contrast, L. reuteri led to the decrease of active histone marks at the DEFB1 promoter. It was remarkable that distinct histone modifications within the same promoter region of DEFB1 were mediated by L. gasseri and L. reuteri. Therefore, our study suggested that one of the underlying mechanisms of DEFB1 expression in the vaginal ecosystem might be associated with the epigenetic crosstalk between individual Lactobacillus spp. and vaginal keratinocytes. 相似文献

Gut bacterium Pantoea sp. is one of the predominant bacterial species in the larval gut of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella. The phenotypic characters of Pantoea sp. were investigated with BIOLOG phenotype MicroArray (PM) in this study. Totally 950 different metabolic phenotypes were tested using the PM plates 1–10. Results exhibited that Pantoea sp. was able to metabolize 37.37 % of the tested carbon sources, 91.32 % of nitrogen sources, 100 % of sulfur sources, and 98.31 % of phosphorus sources. Most informative utilization patterns for carbon sources of Pantoea sp. were organic acids and carbohydrates, and for nitrogen were various amino acids. The bacterium had 94 different biosynthetic pathways. It had a wide range of adaptabilities, and could still metabolize in osmolytes with up to 9 % sodium chloride, 6 % potassium chloride, 5 % sodium sulfate, 20 % ethylene glycol, 4 % sodium formate, 4 % urea, 5 % sodium lactate, 200 mmol/L sodium phosphate (pH 7.0), 100 mmol/L ammonium sulfate (pH 8.0), 100 mmol/L sodium nitrate, and 100 mmol/L sodium nitrite, respectively. It also exhibited active metabolism under pH values between 4.5 and 10. Pantoea sp. showed active decarboxylase activities while poor deaminase activities in the presence of various amino acids. The phenotypic characterization of Pantoea sp. increased our knowledge of the bacterium, in particular its interactions with insect hosts and the adaptability in gut environments, and showed us some possible approaches to controlling diamondback moth through decreasing Pantoea sp. density. 相似文献

Emerging evidence suggests that probiotic therapy can play a role in the prevention and management of oral inflammatory diseases through immunomodulation and down-regulation of the inflammatory cascade. The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the viability of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) and its production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), when exposed to supernatants of two mixed Lactobacillus reuteri strains (ATCC PTA 5289 and DSM 17938). The experiments were conducted in the presence and absence of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β. L. reuteri strains were grown and the bacterial supernatant was collected. The cell-free supernatant was diluted to concentrations equivalent to the ones produced by 0.5 to 5.0 × 107 CFU/mL bacteria. Cell viability was assessed with the MTT colorimetric assay and the amount of PGE2 in the cell culture medium was determined using the monoclonal enzyme immune assay kits. Our findings showed that none of the L. reuteri supernatants were cytotoxic or affected the viability of HGF. The most concentrated bacterial supernatant stimulated the production of PGE2 by the gingival cells in a significant way in the presence of IL-1β (p < 0.05), suggesting that bacterial products secreted from L. reuteri might play a role in the resolution of inflammation in HGF. Thus, our findings justify further investigations on the influence of probiotic bacteria on gingival inflammatory reactions. 相似文献

This study aimed to disclose the acid tolerance mechanism of Lactobacillus plantarum by comparing L. plantarum ZDY 2013 with the type strain L. plantarum ATCC 8014 in terms of cell membrane, energy metabolism, and amino acid metabolism. L. plantarum ZDY 2013 had a superior growth performance under acidic condition with 100-fold higher survival rate than that of L. plantarum ATCC 8014 at pH 2.5. To determine the acid tolerance physiological mechanism, cell integrity was investigated through scanning electron microscopy. The study revealed that L. plantarum ZDY 2013 maintained cell morphology and integrity, which is much better than L. plantarum ATCC 8014 under acid stress. Analysis of energy metabolism showed that, at pH 5.0, L. plantarum ZDY 2013 enhanced the activity of Na+/K+-ATPase and decreased the ratio of NAD+/NADH in comparison with L. plantarum ATCC 8014. Similarly, amino acid metabolism of intracellular arginine, glutamate, and alanine was improved in L. plantarum ZDY 2013. Correspondingly, the activity of arginine deiminase and glutamate decarboxylase of L. plantarum ZDY 2013 increased by 1.2-fold and 1.3-fold compared with L. plantarum ATCC 8014 in acid stress. In summary, it is demonstrated that the special physiological behaviors (integrity of cell membrane, enhanced energy metabolism, increased amino acid and enzyme level) of L. plantarum ZDY 2013 can protect the cells from acid stress. 相似文献

In addition to the already known cagA gene, novel genetic markers have been associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) virulence: the dupA and vacAi genes. These genes might play an important role as specific markers to determine the clinical outcome of the disease, especially the vacAi gene, which has been expected to be a good marker of severe pathologies like gastric adenocarcinoma. In the present study, the association of cagA, dupA, and vacAi genes with gastroduodenal pathologies in Chilean patients was studied. One hundred and thirty-two patients positive for H. pylori were divided into two groups—non-severe and severe gastric pathologies—and investigated for the presence of cagA, dupA, and vacAi H. pylori virulence genes by PCR. The cagA gene was detected in 20/132 patients (15.2%), the vacAi1 gene was detected in 54/132 patients (40.9%), the vacAi2 gene was detected in 26/132 patients (19.7%), and the dupA gene was detected in 50/132 (37.9%) patients. Logistic regression model analysis showed that the vacAi1 isoform gene in the infected strains and the severity of the diseases outcome were highly associated, causing severe gastric damage that may lead to gastric cancer (p < 0.0001; OR = 8.75; 95% CI 3.54–21.64). Conversely, cagA (p = 0.3507; OR = 1.62; 95% CI 0.59–4.45) and vacAi2 (p = 0.0114; OR = 3.09; 95% CI 1.26–7.60) genes were not associated with damage, while the dupA gene was associated significantly with non-severe clinical outcome (p = 0.0032; OR = 0.25; 95% CI 0.09–0.65). In addition, dupA gene exerts protection against severe gastric pathologies induced by vacAi1 by delaying the outcome of the disease by approximately 20 years. 相似文献

The yajC gene (Lbuc_0921) from Lactobacillus buchneri NRRL B-30929 was identified from previous proteomics analyses in response to ethanol treatment. The YajC protein expression was increased by 15-fold in response to 10 % ethanol vs 0 % ethanol. The yajC gene encodes the smaller subunit of the preprotein translocase complex, which interacts with membrane protein SecD and SecF to coordinate protein transport and secretion across cytoplasmic membrane in Escherichia coli. The YajC protein was linked to sensitivity to growth temperatures in E. coli, involved in translocation of virulence factors during Listeria infection, and stimulating a T cell-mediated response of Brucella abortus. In this study, the L. buchneri yajC gene was over-expressed in E. coli. The strain carrying pET28byajC that produces YajC after isopropyl β-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside induction showed tolerance to 4 % ethanol in growth media, compared to the control carrying pET28b. This is the first report linking YajC to ethanol stress and tolerance. 相似文献

Bacillus thuringiensis (Berliner) bears essential characteristics in the control of insect pests, such as its unique mode of action, which confers specificity and selectivity. This study assessed cry gene contents from Bt strains and their entomotoxicity against Diatraea saccharalis (F.) and Diatraea flavipennella (Box) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae). Bioassays with Bt strains were performed against neonates to evaluate their lethal and sublethal activities and were further analyzed by PCR, using primers to identify toxin genes. For D. saccharalis and D. flavipennella, 16 and 18 strains showed over 30% larval mortality in the 7th day, respectively. The LC50 values of strains for D. saccharalis varied from 0.08 × 105 (LIIT-0105) to 4104 × 105 (LIIT-2707) spores + crystals mL?1. For D. flavipennella, the LC50 values of strains varied from 0.40 × 105 (LIIT-2707) to 542 × 105 (LIIT-2109) spores + crystals mL?1. For the LIIT-0105 strain, which was the most toxic to D. saccharalis, the genes cry1Aa, cry1Ab, cry1Ac, cry1B, cry1C, cry1D, cry1F, cry1I, cry2Aa, cry2Ab, cry8, and cry9C were detected, whereas for the strain LIIT-2707, which was the most toxic to D. flavipennella, detected genes were cry1Aa, cry1Ab, cry1Ac, cry1B, cry1D, cry1F, cry1I, cry2Aa, cry2Ab, and cry9. The toxicity data and toxin gene content in these strains of Bt suggest a great variability of activity with potential to be used in the development of novel biopesticides or as source of resistance genes that can be expressed in plants to control pests. 相似文献

To identify and investigate the role of surface layer proteins (SLPs) on the probiotic properties of Lactobacillus strains, SLPs were extracted from Lactobacillus bulgaricus fb04, L. rhamnosus fb06, L. gasseri fb07, and L. acidophilus NCFM by 5 mol/L lithium chloride. The molecular masses of the four SLPs were approximately 45–47 kDa as analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Hydrophobic amino acids were the main components of the four SLPs. The secondary structure content of the four SLPs showed extensive variability among different strains. After the SLPs were removed from the cell surface, the autoaggregation ability, coaggregation ability, and gastrointestinal tolerability of the four lactobacilli were significantly reduced as compared with the intact cells (P?<?0.05). When exposed to bile salt stress, L. rhamnosus fb06, L. gasseri fb07, and L. acidophilus NCFM expressed more SLPs as determined by Bradford method. In conclusion, the four lactobacilli all possessed functional SLPs, which had positive contributions to the probiotic properties of the four Lactobacillus strains. This research could reveal the biological contributions of SLPs from Lactobacillus strains and offer a theoretical basis for the application of lactobacilli and their SLPs in food and pharmaceutical industries. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of five strains of meat-borne bacteria to decrease N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) and to elucidate the mechanism in Mann-Rogosa-Sharp (MRS) broth. Lactobacillus pentosus R3 was found to be the most effective in decreasing the concentration of the two N-nitrosamines (NAs) in MRS broth, with a rate of 22.05% for NDMA and 23.31% for NDEA. The concentration of the two NAs could not be reduced by either extracellular metabolites or intracellular extracts of Lb. pentosus R3 (P?>?0.05), and proteinaceous substances in the cell debris were found to be responsible for the decrease. These were surface-layer proteins (SLPs) located on the cell wall. Therefore, the decrease in NDMA and NDEA by Lb. pentosus R3 is associated with its SLPs. Lb. pentosus R3 may be developed as a starter culture in the production of fermented foods with lower NAs. 相似文献

Due to problem of preservation of dairy products which serve as a matrix for probiotics, it is challenging to use these probiotics as food supplements in many developing countries. To determine the suitability of the Lactobacillus strains for exploitation as probiotics in honey, we investigated the effect of their storage on the viability, functionality, and the mechanism associated with their protective effect. Three isolates obtained from our laboratory collection were identified through amplification of the 16S rRNA gene. The viability of the strains in honey at different storage conditions was studied. Three genes (hdc, gtf, and clpL) responsible for the resistance of bacteria in acidic environments were screened. SDS-PAGE analysis of total protein was performed to observe protein profile changes of the strains after exposure to honey. All the three isolates, namely, GGU, GLA51, and GLP56, were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum strains. After 28 days of storage in honey at 4 °C, viable cell concentrations of the three strains were higher than 2.04?×?106 CFU/ml. During the same period at room temperature, only the Lactobacillus plantarum GLP56 strain remained viable with a cell concentration of 1.86?×?104 CFU/ml. The clpL gene coding for ATPase was detected in all the three strains. The protein of molecular weight ~?50 kDa was absent in the protein profile of Lactobacillus plantarum GGU after 60 days of storage in honey at 4 °C. The Lactobacillus plantarum GLP56, Lactobacillus plantarum GLA51, and Lactobacillus plantarum GGU strains exposed to honey can withstand acidic environmental stress but their viability declines over time. 相似文献
