Protein-protein interactions among the components of the biosynthetic machinery responsible for exopolysaccharide production in Streptococcus thermophilus MR-1C

Aim: This study identified protein–protein interactions among the biosynthetic machinery responsible for exopolysaccharide (EPS) production in Streptococcus thermophilus MR‐1C. Methods and Results: Protein–protein interactions were investigated using the yeast two‐hybrid system. A strong protein–protein interaction was detected between the transmembrane activation protein Wzd and the protein tyrosine kinase Wze. Weaker protein–protein interactions were detected between two duplicate Wze proteins and between Wze and the phosphotyrosine phosphatase Wzh. Protein–protein interactions involving a Wzd/Wze fusion protein and Wzd and Wze may indicate that these proteins form multi‐protein complexes. All combinations of the Wzh, Wzd, Wze, Wzg (regulation), CpsE (glycosyl‐1‐phosphate transferase), CpsS (polymerization), CpsL (unknown), CpsW (regulation) and CpsU (membrane translocation) were analysed for protein–protein interactions but no additional interactions were discovered using the yeast two‐hybrid system. Conclusions: Interactions among the phosphotyrosine phosphatase, tyrosine kinase, and transmembrane activation protein are important in the regulation of capsule biosynthesis in Strep. thermophilus MR‐1C. Significance and Impact of the Study: This study provides some valuable insight into the organization and interactions between the many proteins involved in EPS production. A better understanding of this process may facilitate the genetic manipulation of capsule production to impart desirable properties to dairy starter cultures.

Exopolysaccharide production by Lactobacillus delbruckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus strains under different growth conditions

Summary The optimal temperature, pH and incubation time for production of exopolysaccharide (EPS) by Lactobacillus delbruckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus strains in MRS and M17 media, respectively, were determined. In all strains, the temperature and incubation time for EPS production were 45 °C and 18 h, respectively. At 45 °C, L. delbruckiisubsp. bulgaricus B3 and G12 and S. thermophilus W22 strains produced 263, 238 and 127 mg/l, respectively. At 18 h, B3, G12 and W22 strains produced 220, 152 and 120 mg/l, respectively. While the pH for highest EPS production by L. delbruckii subsp. bulgaricus strains was 6.2 (in B3 strain: 211 mg/l, in G12 strain: 175 mg/l), for highest EPS production byS. thermophilus strain it was 6.8 (114 mg/l).     

Fermentation conditions affecting the bacterial growth and exopolysaccharide production by Streptococcus thermophilus ST 111 in milk-based medium

AIMS: To study the effect of different fermentation conditions and to model the effect of temperature and pH on different biokinetic parameters of bacterial growth and exopolysaccharides (EPS) production of Streptococcus thermophilus ST 111 in milk-based medium. METHODS AND RESULTS: The influence of temperature and pH was studied through fermentation and modelling. Fermentations under non-pH controlled conditions with S. thermophilus ST 111 indicated that the EPS production was low in milk medium, even if additional nitrogen sources were supplemented. Under pH-controlled conditions, addition of whey protein hydrolysate to the milk medium resulted in a fivefold increase of the EPS production. This medium did not contain polysaccharides interfering with EPS isolation. Primary and secondary modelling of different fermentations revealed an optimum temperature and pH of 40 degrees C and constant pH 6.2, respectively, for growth in milk medium supplemented with whey protein hydrolysate. Maximum EPS production was observed in the range of 32-42 degrees C and constant pH 5.5-6.6. Whereas growth and maximum EPS production were clearly influenced by temperature and pH, the specific EPS production was only affected by stress conditions (T = 49 degrees C). CONCLUSIONS: Addition of whey protein hydrolysate to milk medium resulted in an increased growth and EPS production of S. thermophilus ST 111 under pH-controlled conditions. A modelling approach allowed studying the influence of temperature and pH on the kinetics of both growth and EPS production. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The use of an appropriate milk-based medium and a combined model of temperature and pH can be of practical importance for the production of yoghurt or other fermented milks as well as for process optimization of the large-scale production of starter strains to be used for their EPS production.     

Activity of the enzymes involved in the synthesis of exopolysaccharide precursors in an overproducing mutant ropy strain of Streptococcus thermophilus

The activities of some enzymes belonging to the Leloir pathway, phosphoglucomutase, UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, UDP-galactose 4-epimerase and galactose 1-P uridyl transferase, were studied in a wild ropy, a non-ropy and an overproducing mutant ropy strain of Streptococcus thermophilus. These activities were assayed over successive culture transfers along with exocellular polysaccharide (EPS) production. The overproducing mutant ropy strain showed increments in polysaccharide production over successive culture transfers, as opposed to reductions in production by the wild ropy strain. The observed variations among strains in the enzyme activities that were analysed in relation to EPS production suggest their involvement in the synthesis of sugar-nucleotide EPS precursors.

Isolation and characterisation of promoter regions from Streptococcus thermophilus

Abstract Four promoter regions required for the expression of a promoterless antibiotic resistance gene ( cat194 ) in Streptococcus thermophilus were isolated by random chromosomal cloning experiments. These were shown to be functional in vivo, and their sequences were determined. Each region expressed different amounts of Cat protein as determined by enzyme activities. One region, STP10, was found to contain the 5' coding region of the large ribosomal subunit protein L20.
