We reported earlier that Pediococcus cerevisiae FBB-61 inhibited Lactobacillus plantarum FBB-67 in mixed species inoculation used for the fermentation of brined cucumbers. Herein, 16 isolates of the Pediococcus genus from various sources were tested for inhibitory activity against L. plantarum and other microorganisms by a seeded-agar screening technique. Only two of the 16 isolates gave consistent and distinctive zones of inhibition, and both were isolated from fermenting cucumber brines on separate occasions. These two isolates did not inhibit each other but did inhibit the other 14 Pediococcus isolates in addition to L. plantarum. They also inhibited several other gram-positive bacteria, but not four species each of gram-negative bacteria and yeasts tested. Inoculation of cucumber juice broth with P. cerevisiae FBB-61 and L. plantarum WSO resulted in a drastic reduction in the plate count of L. plantarum WSO during day 1, but counts increased rapidly thereafter. Consequently, acid production by L. plantarum WSO was delayed. Noninhibitory isolates of Pediococcus had no appreciable effect on growth and acid production by L. plantarum WSO. 相似文献

Bio-preservation, a promising preservation method that involves the use of “friendly” microorganisms such as lactic acid bacteria, has recently become a topic of considerable interest. In the present study, 16 lactic acid bacteria isolates were evaluated for antifungal activity against six fungi commonly associated with bread spoilage. The antifungal compounds were heat stable at 121 °C, and only four isolates, DU15, IT10, TE10, and IS10, showed partial loss of activity when supernatants were treated with proteolytic enzymes. The four isolates showed high inhibition activity at pH 3 and were identified using 16S rDNA sequencing as belonging to Leuconostoc mesenteroides DU15, Lactobacillus plantarum TE10, Lactobacillus plantarum IT10, and Lactobacillus plantarum IS10. The minimum germination inhibitions were 30 mg, 50 mg, 40 mg, and 50 mg for TE10, IT10, DU15, and IS10 respectively. The optimum conditions for the strains to produce antifungal compounds were 37 °C for 48 h for IT10, IS10, and TE10, and 30 °C for 24 h for DU15. Antifungal activity was increased threefold when supernatants were filtered using 10 KDa membranes. These findings demonstrate the potential of using lactic acid bacteria antifungal peptides as natural preservatives in bakery products to control the growth of spoilage fungi. 相似文献

As the genomic determinants of nitric oxide (NO) biosynthesis were identified in mammals and microorganisms, it became possible to systematically analyze the genetic conditioning of the process in clinically significant lactobacilli. A computer screening of the genetic determinants of synthetic pathways leading to NO production was performed to verify the NO-synthase origin of NO in Lactobacillus plantarum. Experimental evidence for enzymatic NO generation from L-arginine, rather than nitrite, was obtained by EPR spectroscopy. It was shown with the example of L. plantarum NO synthase that the observed functional activity of proteins is due to a complex transformation of the genetic program into a real catalytic function under certain conditions. 相似文献

The probiotic potential of Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus fermentum strains, capable of overproducing riboflavin, was investigated. The riboflavin production was quantified in co-cultures of lactobacilli and human intestinal epithelial cells, and the riboflavin overproduction ability was confirmed. When milk and yogurt were used as carrier matrices, L. plantarum and L. fermentum strains displayed a significant ability to survive through simulated gastrointestinal transit. Adhesion was studied on both biotic and abiotic surfaces. Both strains adhered strongly on Caco-2 cells, negatively influenced the adhesion of Escherichia coli O157:H7, and strongly inhibited the growth of three reference pathogenic microbial strains. Resistance to major antibiotics and potential hemolytic activity were assayed. Overall, this study reveals that these Lactobacillus stains are endowed with promising probiotic properties and thus are candidates for the development of novel functional food which would be both enriched in riboflavin and induce additional health benefits, including a potential in situ riboflavin production, once the microorganisms colonize the host intestine. 相似文献

Hydrostatic pressure may affect the intracellular pH of microorganisms by (i) enhancing the dissociation of weak organic acids and (ii) increasing the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane and inactivation of enzymes required for pH homeostasis. The internal pHs of Lactococcus lactis and Lactobacillus plantarum during and after pressure treatment at 200 and 300 MPa and at pH values ranging from 4.0 to 6.5 were determined. Pressure treatment at 200 MPa for up to 20 min did not reduce the viability of either strain at pH 6.5. Pressure treatment at pH 6.5 and 300 MPa reduced viable cell counts of Lactococcus lactis and Lactobacillus plantarum by 5 log after 20 and 120 min, respectively. Pressure inactivation was faster at pH 5 or 4. At ambient pressure, both strains maintained a transmembrane pH gradient of 1 pH unit at neutral pH and about 2 pH units at pH 4.0. During pressure treatment at 200 and 300 MPa, the internal pH of L. lactis was decreased to the value of the extracellular pH during compression. The same result was observed during treatment of Lactobacillus plantarum at 300 MPa. Lactobacillus plantarum was unable to restore the internal pH after a compression-decompression cycle at 300 MPa and pH 6.5. Lactococcus lactis lost the ability to restore its internal pH after 20 and 4 min of pressure treatment at 200 and 300 MPa, respectively. As a consequence, pressure-mediated stress reactions and cell death may be considered secondary effects promoted by pH and other environmental conditions. 相似文献

In this study, twenty Lactobacillus plantarum strains which were isolated from the fecal samples of humans were investigated in vitro for their characteristics as potential new probiotic strains. The L. plantarum strains were examined for resistance to gastric acidity in simulated gastric juice at pH 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5. The growth of test cultures with different pH was monitored after 0, 10, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min of incubation using a spectrophotometer at 550 nm. At the same time, samples were serially diluted in sterile PBS, and counts of viable bacteria were determined by plate counts using MRS agar for each pH and time parameter. The strains were also examined for resistance to 0.4% phenol, production of H2O2, adhesion to Caco-2 cell line and antimicrobial activity. It was determined that the artificial gastric juice, even at pH 2.0, did not significantly change the viability of the cultures. Except L. plantarum AA1-2, all strains were detected at 8 ~ 9 log10 CFU/g. It was found that all L. plantarum strains showed good resistance to 0.4% phenol, and only one strain (AC18-82) produced H2O2. Good adhesion of L. plantarum strains to Caco-2 cells was observed in this experiment. These selected strains also showed antimicrobial activity. 相似文献

Lead causes a broad range of adverse effects in humans and animals. The objective was to evaluate the potency of lactobacilli to bind lead in vitro and the protective effects of a selected Lactobacillus plantarum CCFM8661 against lead-induced toxicity in mice. Nine strains of bacteria were used to investigate their binding abilities of lead in vitro, and L. plantarum CCFM8661 was selected for animal experiments because of its excellent lead binding capacity. Both living and dead L. plantarum CCFM8661 were used to treat 90 male Kunming mice during or after the exposure to 1?g/L lead acetate in drinking water. The results showed oral administration of both living and dead L. plantarum CCFM8661 offered a significant protective effect against lead toxicity by recovering blood ??-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase activity, decreasing the lead levels in blood and tissues, and preventing alterations in the levels of glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase, and reactive oxygen species caused by lead exposure. Moreover, L. plantarum CCFM8661 was more effective when administered consistently during the entire lead exposure, not after the exposure. Our results suggest that L. plantarum CCFM8661 has the potency to provide a dietary strategy against lead toxicity. 相似文献

Sixteen Lactobacillus plantarum strains, isolated from fermented table olives, were studied for the presence and expression of genes involved in the production of bacteriocins, pheromones and other peptides. The presence of 13 genes that belong to pln locus was monitored, while for the study of gene expression, producer strains were cultured in growth medium with variant salinity (0, 4, 6, and 8 % NaCl) and pH (3.5, 4.0, 4.5, and 6.4). The effect of producer strain on the growth of indicator microorganisms was evaluated using a well diffusion assay. In parallel, Real-Time PCR was employed to monitor the genetic expression of plnE/F and plnJ/K genes for strains that revealed the highest antimicrobial activity. The well diffusion assay showed that the growth of Lactobacillus pentosus was inhibited by six L. plantarum strains when cultured on control medium (0 % NaCl, pH 6.4). Moreover, when the same growth medium was supplemented with 4 and 6 % NaCl, the growth of L. pentosus was inhibited by three and two L. plantarum strains, respectively. Growth of L. pentosus was favoured when L. plantarum strains were cultured on a growth medium with lowered pH (3.5, 4.0, and 4.5). No inhibition of pathogens was observed, but in a few cases, inhibition of Aureobasidium pullulans was detected. The Real-Time PCR assay revealed that the expression of genes was dependent on producer strains and growth phase, whereas inhibition of indicator strains was enhanced in earlier stages of the growth curve in the presence of NaCl, although similar counts were obtained. 相似文献

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

Sourdough lactic acid bacteria were selected for antifungal activity by a conidial germination assay. The 10-fold-concentrated culture filtrate of Lactobacillus plantarum 21B grown in wheat flour hydrolysate almost completely inhibited Eurotium repens IBT18000, Eurotium rubrum FTDC3228, Penicillium corylophilum IBT6978, Penicillium roqueforti IBT18687, Penicillium expansum IDM/FS2, Endomyces fibuliger IBT605 and IDM3812, Aspergillus niger FTDC3227 and IDM1, Aspergillus flavus FTDC3226, Monilia sitophila IDM/FS5, and Fusarium graminearum IDM623. The nonconcentrated culture filtrate of L. plantarum 21B grown in whole wheat flour hydrolysate had similar inhibitory activity. The activity was fungicidal. Calcium propionate at 3 mg ml−1 was not effective under the same assay conditions, while sodium benzoate caused inhibition similar to L. plantarum 21B. After extraction with ethyl acetate, preparative silica gel thin-layer chromatography, and chromatographic and spectroscopic analyses, novel antifungal compounds such as phenyllactic and 4-hydroxy-phenyllactic acids were identified in the culture filtrate of L. plantarum 21B. Phenyllactic acid was contained at the highest concentration in the bacterial culture filtrate and had the highest activity. It inhibited all the fungi tested at a concentration of 50 mg ml−1 except for P. roqueforti IBT18687 and P. corylophilum IBT6978 (inhibitory concentration, 166 mg ml−1). L. plantarum 20B, which showed high antimold activity, was also selected. Preliminary studies showed that phenyllactic and 4-hydroxy-phenyllactic acids were also contained in the bacterial culture filtrate of strain 20B. Growth of A. niger FTDC3227 occurred after 2 days in breads started with Saccharomyces cerevisiae 141 alone or with S. cerevisiae and Lactobacillus brevis 1D, an unselected but acidifying lactic acid bacterium, while the onset of fungal growth was delayed for 7 days in bread started with S. cerevisiae and selected L. plantarum 21B. 相似文献

This study aimed at investigating the regulatory system of bacteriocin synthesis by Lactobacillus plantarum strains in vegetables and fruits in a model system. Sterile and neutralized cell-free supernatant (CFS) from L. plantarum strains grown in MRS broth showed in vitro antimicrobial activities toward various indicator strains. The highest activity was that of L. plantarum C2. The antimicrobial activity was further assayed on vegetable and fruit agar plates (solid conditions) and in juices (liquid conditions). A regulatory mechanism of bacteriocin synthesis via quorum sensing was hypothesized. The synthesis of antimicrobial compounds seemed to be constitutive under solid conditions of growth on vegetable and fruit agar plates. In contrast, it depended on the size of the inoculum when L. plantarum C2 was grown in carrot juice. Only the inoculum of ca. 9.0 log CFU ml−1 produced detectable activity. The genes plnA, plnEF, plnG, and plnH were found in all L. plantarum strains. The genes plnJK and plnN were detected in only three or four strains. Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography purification and mass spectrometry analysis revealed the presence of a mixture of eight peptides in the most active fraction of the CFS from L. plantarum C2. Active peptides were encrypted into bacteriocin precursors, such as plantaricins PlnJ/K and PlnH and PlnG, which are involved in the ABC transport system. A real-time PCR assay showed an increase in the expression of plnJK and plnG during growth of L. plantarum C2 in carrot juice. 相似文献

Bacteriocin-producing Lactobacillus plantarum LPCO10 and its non-bacteriocin-producing, bacteriocinimmune derivative, L. plantarum 55-1, were evaluated separately for growth and persistence in natural Spanish-style green olive fermentations. Both strains were genetically marked and selectively enumerated using antibiotic-containing media. Plasmid profile and bacteriocin production (bac+) were used as additional markers. When olive brines were inoculated at 105 CFU/ml, the parent strain, LPCO10, proliferated to dominate the epiphytic microflora, sharing high population levels with other spontaneously occurring lactobacilli and persisting throughout the fermentation (12 weeks). In contrast, the derivative strain could not be isolated after 7 weeks. Stability of both plasmid profile and bac+ (LPCO10 strain) or bac- (55-1 strain) phenotype was shown by L. plantarum LPCO10 and L. plantarum 55-1 isolated throughout the fermentation. Bacteriocin activity could be found in the L. plantarum LPCO10-inoculated brines only after ammonium sulfate precipitation and concentration (20 times) of the final brine. Spontaneously occurring lactobacilli and lactic coccus populations, which were isolated from each of the fermenting brines studied during this investigation, were shown to be sensitive to the bacteriocins produced by L. plantarum LPCO10 when tested by the drop diffusion test. The declines in both pH and glucose levels throughout the fermentative process were similar in L. plantarum LPCO10- and in L. plantarum 55-1-inoculated brines and were comparable to the declines in the uninoculated brines. However, the final concentration of lactic acid in L. plantarum LPCO10-inoculated brines was higher than in the L. plantarum 55-1-inoculated brines and uninoculated brines. These results indicated that L. plantarum LPCO10 may be useful as a starter culture to control the lactic acid fermentation of Spanish-style green olives. 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

Twenty-five strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from South Indian traditional fermented foods Kallappam batter, Koozh and Mor Kuzhambu. Further 6 strains were selected based on their antimicrobial activity. They were identified according to morphological, biochemical and physiological criteria. Identification by 16S rDNA sequence homology of the isolates revealed the presence of Weissella paramesenteroides, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus fermentum. Lactobacillus plantarum AS1 showed maximum antimicrobial activity among 6 strains and this strain was chosen for biopreservation. When male Albino Wistar rats were fed with L. plantarum AS1 (approx. 109 cells/mL for a month), there was no sign of any illness and they were on par with control rats in terms of weight gain/week. In the L. plantarum AS1–treated group, there was reduction in the populations of indigenous microflora of coliforms, yeast and molds; however, the lactobacilli population increased comparatively. L. plantarum AS1 was able to retain its normal growth in the presence of increasing concentration of bile salt in the MRS and it also tolerated the artificial gastric juice simulating the condition inside the stomach where it was viable for 24 h with bacterial count of 6.079 logCFU/mL. L. plantarum AS1 reduced the cholesterol in the MRS broth by 57.3%. Hence, all these properties established it as an effective probiont. L. plantarum AS1 found to be an effective biopreservative in cheese, where it decreased the population of Salmonella typhi by 2.95 log cycles. 相似文献

Lactobacillus plantarum strains isolated and identified from naturally-fermented Chinese sauerkraut were examined in vitro for potential probiotic properties and in vivo for cholesterol-lowering effect in mice. Among 7 isolated L. plantarum strains, strains S2-5 and S4-1 were found to possess desirable probiotic properties including ability to survive at pH 2.0 for 60 min, tolerate pancreatin and bile salts, adhere to Caco-2 cells, produce high β-galactosidase activity and antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli O157 and Shigella flexneri CMCC(B). In addition, strains S2-5 and S4-1 were susceptible to several antibiotics, and capable of reducing cholesterol level in MRS medium by assimilation of cholesterol at 20.39 and 22.28 μg ml?1, respectively. The in vivo study with L. plantarum S4-1 showed that feeding with fermented milk containing this strain was able to effectively reduce serum cholesterol level in mice, demonstrating its potential as an excellent probiotic candidate for applications in functional products. 相似文献

Lactobacillus plantarum JJ18 and Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum JJ60, probiotics from idli batter, produce bacteriocins JJ18 and JJ60 having a wide spectrum of activity. After optimising the environmental conditions for bacteriocin production the effect of various media components was determined. Maximum bacteriocin production was observed in MRS broth, pH 6.4 at 37 °C after 36 h. Tryptone (as nitrogen source) and glucose (as carbon source) are required for optimal production of bacteriocins JJ18 and JJ60. Activity was not affected by surfactants like Triton X-100, Tween 80 and Tween 20 or by treatment with NaCl, urea and EDTA. Protease treatment resulted in complete loss of activity of the partially purified bacteriocins JJ18 and JJ60, while lipase and α-amylase had no effect, indicating that the bacteriocin is a simple protein. Tris tricine SDS-PAGE electrophoresis depicted a single band of less than 3.5 kDa. However, the strain Lactobacillus plantarum JJ18 was inhibited by bacteriocin JJ60 and Lactobacillus plantarum JJ60 by bacteriocin JJ18, whereas no inhibition was observed against the respective producer strains, indicating that the two bacteriocins are different. The bacteriocins remained active over a wide range of pH and temperature. The bacteriocins were able to adsorb onto producer and target cells, Lactobacillus plantarum and Listeria monocytogenes and differentially in the presence of various surfactants, salts and solvents. A bactericidal mode of action was observed against Listeria monocytogenes. Given their wide spectrum of activity against various pathogens, the bacteriocins JJ18 and JJ60 can be applied as bio-preservatives in the food industry. 相似文献

The current knowledge of the physiology and gene expression of industrially relevant microorganisms is largely based on laboratory studies under conditions of rapid growth and high metabolic activity. However, in natural ecosystems and industrial processes, microbes frequently encounter severe calorie restriction. As a consequence, microbial growth rates in such settings can be extremely slow and even approach zero. Furthermore, uncoupling microbial growth from product formation, while cellular integrity and activity are maintained, offers perspectives that are economically highly interesting. Retentostat cultures have been employed to investigate microbial physiology at (near-)zero growth rates. This minireview compares information from recent physiological and gene expression studies on retentostat cultures of the industrially relevant microorganisms Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactococcus lactis, Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Aspergillus niger. Shared responses of these organisms to (near-)zero growth rates include increased stress tolerance and a downregulation of genes involved in protein synthesis. Other adaptations, such as changes in morphology and (secondary) metabolite production, were species specific. This comparison underlines the industrial and scientific significance of further research on microbial (near-)zero growth physiology. 相似文献

Lactobacillus
plantarum has been used in human clinical trials to promote beneficial effects in the immune system, to alleviate intestinal disorders, and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. It is also involved in many fermentation processes in the food industry. However, information on the fate of ingested L. plantarum is limited. In this study, 61 subjects received daily doses of fermented milk containing 2 × 1011 cells of L. plantarum Lp115 for different periods of time. The target microorganism was monitored in the fecal microbiota via quantitative PCR (qPCR). L. plantarum was detected and quantified in all of the subjects during the ingestion periods. The differences between the L. plantarum levels at time zero and during all the different ingestion periods were statistically significant (P = 0.001). However, at 15 and 45 days after discontinuing supplementation, the number of lactobacilli was reduced to the baseline level (those at time zero). A longer period with L. plantarum in the diet did not result in increased levels of this bacterium in the stool, based on postconsumption evaluations (P = 0.001). The qPCR method was specific and sensitive for L. plantarum quantification in such a complex microbial environment as the gastrointestinal tract. 相似文献

Extracellular vesicles, which are highly conserved in most cells, contain biologically active substances. The vesicles and substances interact with cells and impact physiological mechanisms. The skin is the most external organ and is in direct contact with the external environment. Photoaging and skin damage are caused by extrinsic factors. The formation of wrinkles is a major indicator of skin aging and is caused by a decrease in collagen and hyaluronic acid. MMP-1 expression is also increased. Due to accruing damage, skin aging reduces the ability of the skin barrier, thereby lowering the skin’s ability to contain water and increasing the amount of water loss. L. plantarum suppresses various harmful bacteria by secreting an antimicrobial substance. L. plantarum is also found in the skin, and research on the interactions between the bacteria and the skin is in progress. Although several studies have investigated L. plantarum, there are only a limited number of studies on extracellular vesicles (EV) derived from L. plantarum, especially in relation to skin aging. Herein, we isolated EVs that were secreted from L. plantarum of women in their 20s (LpEVs). We then investigated the effect of LpEVs on skin aging in CCD986sk. We showed that LpEVs modulated the mRNA expression of ECM related genes in vitro. Furthermore, LpEVs suppressed wrinkle formation and pigmentation in clinical trials. These results demonstrated that LpEVs have a great effect on skin aging by regulating ECM related genes. In addition, our study offers important evidence on the depigmentation effect of LpEVs. 相似文献
