乙醇胁迫处理对酒酒球菌SD-2a生理特性的影响

为制备高效的葡萄酒乳酸菌发酵剂,以酒酒球菌SD-2a为试验材料,研究了5%、10%不同浓度的乙醇胁迫处理对菌体生长、细胞内MLE活性、冻干存活率及细胞膜脂肪酸组分的影响。试验结果表明乙醇胁迫处理明显降低了菌体的生长速率和生物产量。与对照相比,5%乙醇胁迫处理降低了菌体的冻干存活率,而10%乙醇处理却显著增加了菌体的冻干存活率。细胞膜脂肪酸组分的测定结果表明,前者细胞膜U/S比值为1.12,比对照降低了26.3%,而后者细胞膜U/S比值为2.29,比对照增加了50.6%。故认为酒酒球菌SD-2a为适应不同浓度的乙醇胁迫环境,在细胞膜脂肪酸水平上所采用的机制不同,且菌体的冻干存活率与其细胞膜脂肪酸组分密切相关。

The effect of cold, acid and ethanol shocks on synthesis of membrane fatty acid, freeze-drying survival and malolactic activity of Oenococcus oeni

The effects of stress shocks on the freeze-drying viability, malolactic activity and membrane fatty acid composition of the Oenococcus oeni SD-2a cells were studied. O. oeni SD-2a cells after 2 h of stress exposure exhibited better freeze-drying viability and malolactic fermentation ability. A decrease in unsaturated fatty acids/saturated fatty acids (UFA/SFA) ratio and in the C18:1 relative concentration, and an increase in cyclopropane fatty acids (CFA) content mainly due to the increase in C19cyc11 relative concentration were observed in all stress shocked cells. There was a significant negative correlation between C19cyc11 and C18:lcis11, C16:0 in all stress shocks. The freeze-drying viability exhibited a significant positive correlation with the levels of C19cyc11 in cold and acid shocks. The only significant positive correlation between the ability of O. oeni SD-2a to conduct malic acid degradation and membrane composition existed with C14:0 in ethanol shocks. In general, freeze-drying viabilities were maximum for cells with low UFA/SFA ratio and high CFA levels, and, consequently, with low membrane fluidity. Moreover, CFA formation played a major role in protecting stress shocked cells from lyophilization. However, changes observed in membrane fatty acid composition are not enough to explain the greater freeze-drying viability of cells shocked at 8% ethanol. Thus, other mechanisms could be responsible for this increase in the bacterial resistance to lyophilization.     

Effect of protective agents, freezing temperature, rehydration media on viability of malolactic bacteria subjected to freeze-drying

AIMS: The effects of protective agents, rehydration media and freezing temperature on the viabilities of Lactobacillus brevis and Oenococcus oeni H-2 when subjected to freeze-drying were investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS: Several protectants and rehydration media were tested to improve the survival after freeze-drying. The cells were also frozen at -65 and -20 degrees C to check the effect of freezing temperature on the viability. CONCLUSIONS: The best protectant and rehydration medium to obtain the highest viability after freeze-drying varied with the species of bacteria. Yeast extract (4.0%) and sodium glutamate (2.5% ) gave maximum viability of L. brevis and O. oeni (67.8% and 53.6% respectively). The highest survival of L. brevis and O. oeni were obtained when rehydrated with 10% sucrose and MGY medium respectively. When the bacterial cells were frozen quickly (-65 degrees C) than slowly (-20 degrees C), L. brevis and O. oeni both showed increased viability after freeze-drying. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The viabilities of L. brevis and O. oeni after freeze-drying were shown to be strain specific and dependent on protective agents, rehydration media and freezing temperature.     

Combined cold, acid, ethanol shocks in Oenococcus oeni: effects on membrane fluidity and cell viability

The effects of combined cold, acid and ethanol on the membrane physical state and on the survival of Oenococcus oeni were investigated. Membrane fluidity was monitored on intact whole O. oeni cells subjected to single and combined cold, acid and ethanol shocks by using fluorescence anisotropy with 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) as a probe. Results showed that cold shocks (14 and 8 degrees C) strongly rigidified plasma membrane but did not affect cell survival. In contrast, ethanol shocks (10-14% v/v) induced instantaneous membrane fluidisation followed by rigidification and resulted in low viability. Acid shocks (pH 4.0 and pH 3.0) exerted a rigidifying effect on membrane without affecting cell viability. Whatever the shock orders, combined cold (14 degrees C) and ethanol (14% v/v) shocks resulted in strong membrane rigidification. Interestingly, O. oeni survived combined cold and ethanol shocks more efficiently than single ethanol shock. Membrane rigidification was induced by ethanol-and-acid (10% v/v - pH 3.5) shock and correlated with total cell death. In contrast, O. oeni recovered its viability when subjected to cold (8 degrees C)-then-ethanol-and-acid shock which strongly rigidified the membrane. Our results suggested a positive short-term effect of combined cold, acid and ethanol shocks on membrane fluidity and viability of O. oeni.     

Cell surface damage and morphological changes in Oenococcus oeni after freeze-drying and incubation in synthetic wine

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of freeze-drying in the presence of trehalose as a cryoprotectant, followed by incubation in synthetic wine, on surface damage, viability and l-malic acid consumption of the oenological strain Oenococcus oeni UNQOe 73.2. After freeze-drying, no significant differences were observed in the number of viable cells (for both acclimated and non-acclimated cultures) respect to the fresh culture. In contrast, loss of viability was observed after wine incubation for 24 h, being acclimated freeze-dried cells the best conditions for this. After the preservation process, small changes in cell morphology were observed by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The Zeta potential and AFM showed that 24 h of wine incubation was enough to induce several cell surface modifications. Plate count data allowed us to establish that surface damage is an important factor for loss of viability, regardless of the acclimation treatment. Although the number of surviving O. oeni cells decreased dramatically after incubation in synthetic wine for 15 days, the consumption of l-malic acid was higher than 70%, with freeze-dried cells showing a better performance than fresh cultures. These results demonstrate that O. oeni freeze-dried cultures could be applied to direct wine inoculation, to conduct malolactic fermentation, maintaining its technological properties and reducing the time and costs of the winemaking process.     

Effect of adaptation to ethanol on cytoplasmic and membrane protein profiles of Oenococcus oeni

The practical application of commercial malolactic starter cultures of Oenococcus oeni surviving direct inoculation in wine requires insight into mechanisms of ethanol toxicity and of acquired ethanol tolerance in this organism. Therefore, the site-specific location of proteins involved in ethanol adaptation, including cytoplasmic, membrane-associated, and integral membrane proteins, was investigated. Ethanol triggers alterations in protein patterns of O. oeni cells stressed with 12% ethanol for 1 h and those of cells grown in the presence of 8% ethanol. Levels of inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase and phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, which generate reduced nicotinamide nucleotides, were decreased during growth in the presence of ethanol, while glutathione reductase, which consumes NADPH, was induced, suggesting that maintenance of the redox balance plays an important role in ethanol adaptation. Phosphoenolpyruvate:mannose phosphotransferase system (PTS) components of mannose PTS, including the phosphocarrier protein HPr and EII(Man), were lacking in ethanol-adapted cells, providing strong evidence that mannose PTS is absent in ethanol-adapted cells, and this represents a metabolic advantage to O. oeni cells during malolactic fermentation. In cells grown in the presence of ethanol, a large increase in the number of membrane-associated proteins was observed. Interestingly, two of these proteins, dTDT-glucose-4,6-dehydratase and D-alanine:D-alanine ligase, are known to be involved in cell wall biosynthesis. Using a proteomic approach, we provide evidence for an active ethanol adaptation response of O. oeni at the cytoplasmic and membrane protein levels.     

Flow cytometric assessment of membrane integrity of ethanol-stressed Oenococcus oeni cells

The practical application of commercial malolactic starter cultures of Oenococcus oeni surviving direct inoculation in wine requires insight into the mechanisms involved in ethanol toxicity and tolerance in this organism. Exposure to ethanol resulted in an increase in the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane, enhancing passive proton influx and concomitant loss of intracellular material (absorbing at 260 nm). Cells grown in the presence of 8% (vol/vol) ethanol revealed adaptation to ethanol stress, since these cells showed higher retention of compounds absorbing at 260 nm. Moreover, for concentrations higher than 10% (vol/vol), lower rates of passive proton influx were observed in these ethanol-adapted cells, especially at pH 3.5. The effect of ethanol on O. oeni cells was studied as the ability to efficiently retain carboxyfluorescein (cF) as an indicator of membrane integrity and enzyme activity and the uptake of propidium iodide (PI) to assess membrane damage. Flow cytometric analysis of both ethanol-adapted and nonadapted cells with a mixture of the two fluorescent dyes, cF and PI, revealed three main subpopulations of cells: cF-stained intact cells; cF- and PI-stained permeable cells, and PI-stained damaged cells. The subpopulation of O. oeni cells that maintained their membrane integrity, i.e., cells stained only with cF, was three times larger in the population grown in the presence of ethanol, reflecting the protective effect of ethanol adaptation. This information is of major importance in studies of microbial fermentations in order to assign bulk activities measured by classical methods to the very active cells that are effectively responsible for the observations.     

Colony dimorphism associated with stress resistance in Oenococcus oeni VP01 cells during stationary growth phase

The resistance to stresses as starvation, the presence of ethanol, sulfite and low pH, is a fundamental prerequisite for starter cultures used to induce malolactic fermentation in wine. In order to evaluate stress resistance of cells undergone starvation, cells viability in laboratory cultures of Oenococcus oeni VP01 strain was monitored during prolonged stationary growth phase. Once entered the stationary phase, strain VP01 showed 99% reduction of cell viability within 4 days. The remaining cells population maintained viability over 70 days and, when plated on agar medium, generated small colonies. The occurrence of this phenomenon was associated to stress resistance, since 10-day-old cells resulted more resistant than 3-day-old cells to ethanol and low pH conditions. No genomic mutations were revealed by pulse-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis in aged cultures. Total protein analysis by bidimensional electrophoresis highlighted differential protein expression in cultures differentially aged. It was demonstrated that O. oeni starving cultures at the stationary phase are constituted by dynamic cell populations. These results offer interesting perspective for a better understanding of cells behavior when inoculated in wine.     

Lactobacillic Acid Accumulation in the Plasma Membrane of Oenococcus oeni: A Response to Ethanol Stress?

It is known that ethanol strongly interferes with the development and activity of lactic acid bacteria in wine. In this work, it was observed that membrane composition was dependent of ethanol concentration and cell physiological state. The protein electrophoretic profile was modified in the membranes of Oenococcus oeni cultured in presence of 8 and 10% ethanol. Concerning the membrane lipid composition, it was observed that O. oeni maintained a high level of phospholipid biosynthesis via the relative increased biosynthesis of phosphoethanolamine and sphingomyelin in presence of ethanol. On the other hand, ethanol induced an increase in the membrane lactobacillic acid percentage at the expense of cis-vaccenic acid. This increased synthesis of lactobacillic acid appears as the more significant change induced by ethanol in O. oeni membrane. The increase of lactobacillic acid in the membrane of O. oeni clearly appears as a factor that provides protection against the toxic effect of ethanol, balancing the increase of membrane fluidity normally attributed to ethanol. The results presented in this paper constitute evidence that lactobacillic acid may have a part in the survival and or adaptive mechanisms developed by O. oeni under culture adverse conditions, allowing these bacteria to maintain their activity in the presence of ethanol, namely performing malolactic fermentation in wine.
