A rapid molecular identification technique was applied on microbial microflora isolated from Brazilian cassava roots given a yeast profile presented in the samples analyzed. A total of 24 strain isolated from cassava were initially grouped and identified in five groups using restriction-fragment length polymorphism (RFLPs) of 5.8S-ITS rDNA region. Sequencing analysis of the domains D1 and D2 of the 26S rRNA gene or 5.8S rRNA-ITS region were used to identify different groups of yeasts. Representative colonies of yeasts of each group were isolated and identified as Debaromyces hansenii, Kodamaea ohmeri, Candida glabrata, C. haemulonii, and Pichia gullhermondii. It is hoped that these results will contribute toward selecting yeast from this microflora capable to degrade cassava starch in the near future.  相似文献

Fifty-one yeast strains isolated from fermented mash of Balinese rice wine, brem, fermented using five different types of starters, ragi tape, were identified on the basis of their internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions and their 18S rDNA sequences. The results revealed that Saccharomyces cerevisiae(35 strains), Candida glabrata(six strains), Pichia anomala(three strains) and Issatchenkia orientalis(seven strains) were the main yeasts in the fermentation of the rice wine. These yeasts undergo succession during the fermentation in which S. cerevisiae was mostly found as the principal yeast at the end of fermentation. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 18S rDNA sequences of selected strains placed the isolated S. cerevisiae strains in the Saccharomyces sensu stricto group. Karyotype analysis of the S. cerevisiae strains resolved using pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) showed that the strains are typically associated with different types of starters.  相似文献

Processes for the production ofgari, East Nigerianfu-fu and West Nigerianfu-fu are described. Changes in pH value, moisture content, microflora and sugar content of cassava duringgari andfu-fu preparation are reported. Mannitol accumulated during thegari fermentation but not in either of thefu-fu fermentations. During each stage ofgari andfu-fu production, lactic acid bacteria predominated. Homofermentative organisms occurred most frequently in the early stages of each process and heterofermenters in the latter ones. Of the 179 microorganisms that were isolated and characterized fromgari andfu-fu, 52% were able to hydrolyse linamarin and 14% starch.  相似文献

Two cassava cultivars were fermented for 3 days with the incorporation of soybean residue or full-fat flour at 25% (w/w) to produce gari. Unfortified gari was superior in taste (P<0.05) to the soybean-fortified gari, though consumers still accepted the latter. Fortified samples from two of the three procedures used, in which soybean was added at different stages of the fermentation, were rated similarly (P>0.05). The water activity of soybean-fortified gari was <0.7, the swelling capacity was 2.5 to 3.3, pH was 5.1±0.2 and total cyanide was 0.8 to 1.3 mg/100 g. The crude protein content of soybean-fortified gari was 8 to 12% (w/w), much higher than the 1 to 2% (w/w) of the unfortified gari. Soybean-fortified gari is recommended for use in areas where cassava is consumed and protein intake is inadequate.The authors are with the Biology Department, The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Nigeria.  相似文献

Culture-based technique was used to study the population dynamics of the bacteria and determine the dominant lactic acid bacteria (LAB) during cassava fermentation. LAB was consistently isolated from the fermented mash with an initial viable count of 6.00 log c.f.u. g−1 observed at 12 h. The aerobic viable count of amylolytic lactic acid bacteria (ALAB) was higher than other group of LAB throughout the fermentation up to 96 h with the highest viable count of 8.08 log c.f.u. g−1. Combination of phenotypic parameters and 16S rDNA gene sequencing identified the dominant group of LAB as Lactobacillus plantarum, L. fermentum and Leuconostoc mesenteroides while the pulse field gel electrophoresis determined that the strains were genotypically heterogeneous. The sugar fermentation profile of the isolates showed that indigestible sugars such as raffinose and stachyose can be fermented by the strains. Information was also generated about the functional properties of the strains. Only strain L. plantarum 9st0 isolate at 0 h of the fermentation produced bacteriocin with antagonism against closely related indicator strains. Quantitatively, the highest amylase activity was produced by strain L. plantarum 7st12, while appreciable amylase was also produced by L. fermentum 1st96. The result of this work showed that selection of mixed starter cultures of bacteriocin- and amylase-producing L. plantarum and L. fermentum will be highly relevant as starter cultures during the intermediate and large scale gari production.  相似文献

Aims: To select appropriate micro‐organisms to be used as starter culture for reliable and reproducible fermentation of Lafun. Methods and Results: A total of 22 cultures consisting of yeast, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and Bacillus cereus strains predominant in traditionally fermented cassava during Lafun processing were tested as potential starter cultures. In an initial screening, Saccharomyces cerevisiae 2Y48P22, Lactobacillus fermentum 2L48P21, Lactobacillus plantarum 1L48P35 and B. cereus 2B24P31 were found to be the most promising of the cultures and were subsequently tested in different combinations as mixed starter cultures to ferment submerged cassava roots. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, inoculated singly or combined with B. cereus, gave the softest cassava root after 48 h of fermentation according to determination of compression profile and stress at fracture. Overall, sensory quality testing showed that Lafun obtained from S. cerevisiae‐fermented cassava gave the most preferred stiff porridge. Saccharomyces cerevisiae 2Y48P22 showed pectinase production in a model system. Conclusions: The results suggest that S. cerevisiae 2Y48P22 is the most efficient organism for cassava softening during the fermentation. Therefore, it could be combined with LAB and used as starter for Lafun processing. Significance and Impact of the Study: Starter cultures are made available for controlled fermentation of Lafun.  相似文献

Bacterial strains were isolated from cassava-derived food products and, for the first time, from cassava by-products, with a focus on gari, a flour-like product, and the effluents from the production processes for gari and fufu (a dough also made from cassava flour). A total of 47 strains were isolated, all of which were tested to determine their resistance to acidic pH and to bile salt environments. Four of the 47 isolates tested positive in both environments, and these four isolates also showed antibacterial behaviour towards both Gram-positive and Gram-negative microbial pathogens (i.e. Methicillin-resistance Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella enteritidis, Escherichia coli, Escherichia coli (O157), Yersinia enterocolitica). In most cases, the antibacterial activity was related to bacteriocin production. Molecular identification analysis (16S rDNA and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA-PCR) revealed that the four isolates were different strains of the same species, Lactobacillus fermentum. These results demonstrate that bacteria isolated from cassava-derived food items and cassava by-products have interesting properties and could potentially be used as probiotics.  相似文献

The Tapirapé people of the Tapi'it?wa tribe of Brazil produce several fermented foods and beverages, one of which is called 'cauim'. This beverage usually makes up the main staple food for adults and children. Several substrates are used in its production, including cassava, rice, corn, maize and peanuts. A fermentation using rice and cassava was conducted, and samples were collected at 4-h intervals for microbial analysis. The yeast population was low at the beginning of the fermentation and reached 6.9 x 10(7) CFU mL(-1) after 48 h. During the fermentation process common yeast species were identified by sequencing of the D1/D2 domain of the large-subunit (26S) rRNA gene. The predominant yeast species found was Candida tropicalis. Candida intermedia, Candida parapsilosis, Pichia guilliermondii, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Trichosporon asahii were also found in high numbers during the fermentation. Exophiala dermatidis, often associated with blastomycosis, was found in the mass before inoculation and during the initial stages of the fermentation. Examination of these indigenous fermented foods may provide clues as to how food production and preservation can be expanded and thereby contribute to improve nutrition in native tribes in the region.  相似文献

Cocoa bean fermentation is a spontaneous process involving a succession of microbial activities, starting with yeasts, followed by lactic acid bacteria and acetic acid bacteria. So far, all microbiological studies about cocoa bean fermentation were based on culture-dependent (isolation, cultivation, and identification), or, more recently, culture-independent (PCR-DGGE, or polymerase chain reaction denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) methods. Using a metagenomic approach, total DNA was extracted from heap and box fermentations at different time points and from different locations (Ghana and Brazil, respectively) to generate a 16 S rDNA clone library that was sequenced. The sequencing data revealed a low bacterial diversity in the fermentation samples and were in accordance with the results obtained through culture-dependent and a second, culture-independent analysis (PCR-DGGE), suggesting that almost all bacteria involved in the fermentation process are cultivable. One exception was the identification by 16 S rDNA library sequencing of Gluconacetobacter species of acetic acid bacteria that were not detected by the two other approaches. The presence of Enterobacteriaceae related to Erwinia/Pantoea/Tatumella, as revealed by 16 S rDNA library sequencing, suggests an impact of these bacteria on fermentation.  相似文献

Inventory and monitoring of wine microbial consortia   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The evolution of the wine microbial ecosystem is generally restricted to Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Oenococcus oeni, which are the two main agents in the transformation of grape must into wine by acting during alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, respectively. But others species like the yeast Brettanomyces bruxellensis and certain ropy strains of Pediococcus parvulus can spoil the wine. The aim of this study was to address the composition of the system more precisely, identifying other components. The advantages of the polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) approach to wine microbial ecology studies are illustrated by bacteria and yeast species identification and their monitoring at each stage of wine production. After direct DNA extraction, PCR-DGGE was used to make the most exhaustive possible inventory of bacteria and yeast species found in a wine environment. Phylogenetic neighbor-joining trees were built to illustrate microbial diversity. PCR-DGGE was also combined with population enumeration in selective media to monitor microbial changes at all stages of production. Moreover, enrichment media helped to detect the appearance of spoilage species. The genetic diversity of the wine microbial community and its dynamics during winemaking were also described. Most importantly, our study provides a better understanding of the complexity and diversity of the wine microbial consortium at all stages of the winemaking process: on grape berries, in must during fermentation, and in wine during aging. On grapes, 52 different yeast species and 40 bacteria could be identified. The diversity was dramatically reduced during winemaking then during aging. Yeast and lactic acid bacteria were also isolated from very old vintages. B. bruxellensis and O. oeni were the most frequent.  相似文献

The aims of this work were to characterize the fermentation process of mezcal from San Luis Potosi, México and identify the yeasts present in the fermentation using molecular culture-dependent methods (RFLP of the 5.8S-ITS and sequencing of the D1/D2 domain) and also by using a culture-independent method (DGGE). The alcoholic fermentations of two separate musts obtained from Agave salmiana were analyzed. Sugar, ethanol and major volatile compounds concentrations were higher in the first fermentation, which shows the importance of having a quality standard for raw materials, particularly in the concentration of fructans, in order to produce fermented Agave salmiana must with similar characteristics. One hundred ninety-two (192) different yeast colonies were identified, from those present on WL agar plates, by RFLP analysis of the ITS1-5.8S- ITS2 from the rRNA gene, with restriction endonucleases, HhaI, HaeIII and HinfI. The identified yeasts were: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Kluyveromyces marxianus, Pichia kluyveri, Zygosaccharomyces bailii, Clavispora lusitaniae, Torulaspora delbrueckii, Candida ethanolica and Saccharomyces exiguus. These identifications were confirmed by sequencing the D1-D2 region of the 26S rRNA gene. With the PCR-DGGE method, bands corresponding to S. cerevisiae, K. marxianus and T. delbrueckii were clearly detected, confirming the results obtained with classic techniques.  相似文献

Candida glycerinogenes WL2002-5 is an osmotolerant yeast used for the commercial production of glycerol. The TRP1 gene of Candida glycerinogenes (CgTRP1), encoding phosphoribosylanthranilate isomerase (PRAI) was cloned by complementation of the trp1 mutation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae W303-1A. DNA sequence analysis revealed a 735 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a polypeptide of 244 amino acids, which shared 32.9 ~ 49.2% amino acid sequence similarity to PRAI proteins from other species of Saccharomycetales. A trp1 auxotrophic mutant of C. glycerinogenes was selected in medium containing 5-fluoroanthranilic acid, and confirmed by functional and sequence analysis. An integrative vector was constructed with the 18S rDNA gene as integration target and CgTRP1 gene as selectable marker. The trp1 mutant of C. glycerinogenes was transformed with integrative vector, transformants were screened by trp1 complementation. Diagnostic PCR show that the plasmid could be integrated in the site of the 18S rDNA gene of C. glycerinogenes.  相似文献

Summary The aim of this research was to develop methods to use low-cost carbon compounds for rhizobial inoculant production. Five raw starch materials; steamed cassava, sticky rice, fresh corn, dry corn and sorghum were tested for sugar production by an amylase-producing fungus. Streamed cassava produced the highest amount of reducing sugar after fermentation. Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA110, Azorhizobium caulinodans IRBG23, Rhizobium phaseoli TAL1383, Sinorhizobium fredii HH103, and Mesorhizobium ciceri USDA2429 were tested on minimal medium supplemented with reducing sugar obtained from cassava fermentation. All strains, except B. japonicum USDA110, could grow in medium containing cassava sugar derived from 100 g steamed cassava per litre, and the growth rates for these strains were similar to those in medium containing 0.5 (w/v) mannitol. The sugar derived from steamed cassava was further used for production of glycerol using yeast. After 1 day of yeast fermentation, the culture containing glycerol and heat-killed yeast cells, was used to formulate media for culturing bradyrhizobia. A formulation medium, FM4, with a glycerol concentration of 0.6 g/l and yeast cells (OD600 = 0.1) supported growth of B. japonicum USDA110 up to 3.61 × 109 c.f.u./ml in 7 days. These results demonstrate that steamed cassava could be used to provide cheap and effective carbon sources for rhizobial inoculant production.  相似文献

Recombinant Candida utilis for the production of biotin   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Biotin is an important nutritional supplement but is difficult to manufacture effectively. Here we present a trial of biotin production using the food yeast Candida utilis. In this system, we cloned the C. utilis biotin synthase (BIO2) gene, the gene of the rate-limiting enzyme for biotin biosynthesis, and assembled it under the control of a strong promoter. A series of plasmids were constructed to direct the integration of the BIO2 gene, either high-copy integration with 18S rDNA fragment or low-copy integration with URA3 or HIS3 fragment. The BIO2 gene can be successfully integrated into the C. utilis chromosome and can drive biotin production using these plasmids. The biotin yield in this system can reach 100-fold above the endogenous level in a small-scale culture. Although the biotin production is not stable if the selection pressure is removed, this system has the potential to produce biotin-rich feed or food additives directly without the requirement of further purification.  相似文献

Summary Candida utilis strain BKT4 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain BKT7 isolated from burukutu (a local wine brewed from sorghum) were used to enrich fufu. During the fermentation process, there were changes in the microbiological and biochemical characteristics of the cassava. The total viable counts increased with increasing fermentation time while the counts of the lactics and fungi increased at the later stages of the fermentation due to the acidity of the medium. Various bacteria (Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Klebsiella, Escherichia, Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Corynebacterium), moulds (Penicillium, Aspergillus, Fusarium, Mucor, Rhizopus) and yeasts (Candida, Saccharomyces, Hansenula, Rhodotorula) were found to be associated with the fermentation process. The pH of the fermenting cassava increased from 4.2 to 5.7 after 72 h while the cyanide level decreased from 2.2 mg/kg to 0.7 mg/kg over the same period of fermentation. Fufu (prepared by crushing and sieving fermenting cassava roots) enriched with 0.5 g of C. utilis strain BKT4, S. cerevisiae BKT7 and a mixed culture of the two organisms revealed a crude protein of 7.90, 6.34 and 10.0% respectively as compared to 2% protein content of the enriched fufu. There was a corresponding increase in protein content of the product as the quantity of the enrichment yeast was increased from 0.5 to 3.0 g. The aroma of the enriched fufu was preferred to that of the commercial fufu. Generally, good acceptability and organoleptic qualities (colour, taste, texture and aroma) of the protein enriched fufu was best achieved within 48 h of enrichment. The results of this study suggest that fufu can be made more nutritious with yeasts particularly Candida utilis strain BKT4 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain BKT7.  相似文献

Background  

The use of a multistarter fermentation process with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and non-Saccharomyces wine yeasts has been proposed to simulate natural must fermentation and to confer greater complexity and specificity to wine. In this context, the combined use of S. cerevisiae and immobilized Starmerella bombicola cells (formerly Candida stellata) was assayed to enhance glycerol concentration, reduce ethanol content and to improve the analytical composition of wine. In order to investigate yeast metabolic interaction during controlled mixed fermentation and to evaluate the influence of S. bombicola on S. cerevisiae, the gene expression and enzymatic activity of two key enzymes of the alcoholic fermentation pathway such as pyruvate decarboxylase (Pdc1) and alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh1) were studied.  相似文献

Two yeast strains, producing needle-shaped ascospores under suitable conditions, were isolated from grapes grown in Hungary. Based on these two strains, Metschnikowia viticola (type strain NCAIM Y.01705, CBS 9950, JCM 12561) is proposed as a new yeast species. Considering its phenotypic features, the restriction fragment patterns of 18S rDNA and the sequence of the D1/D2 domain of 26S rDNA, the proposed new species is closely related to Candida kofuensis.  相似文献

Inoculated fermentation by selected indigenous yeast strains from a specific location could provide the wine with unique regional sensory characteristics. The identification and differentiation of local yeasts are the first step to understand the function of yeasts and develop a better strain-selection program for winemaking. The indigenous yeasts in five grape varieties, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Marselan, and Merlot cultivated in Xiangning, Shanxi, China were investigated. Eight species of seven genera including Aureobasidium pullulans, Candida zemplinina, Hanseniaspora uvarum, Hanseniaspora occidentalis, Issatchenkia terricola, Metschnikowia pulcherrima, Pichia kluyveri, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were identified using Wallerstein Laboratory Nutrient medium with sequencing of the 26S rDNA D1/D2 domain. H. uvarum and S. cerevisiae were the predominant species, while most non-Saccharomyces species were present in the whole fermentation process at different levels among the grape varieties. The genotypes of S. cerevisiae from each microvinification were determined by using interdelta sequence analysis. The 102 isolates showed eight different genotypes, and genotype III was the predominant genotype found. The distribution of S. cerevisiae strains during the fermentation of Marselan was also studied. Six genotypes were observed among the 92 strains with different genotypes of competitiveness at different sampling stages. Genotype V demonstrated the potential for organizing starter strains and avoiding inefficient fermentation. In general, this study explored the yeast species in the grapes grown in Xiangning County and provided important information of relationship of local yeast diversity and its regional wine sensory characteristics.  相似文献

Wastewater from avermectin production is refractory with high output, high chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration and high cost further. The current wastewater treatment technology, with little reuse of the organic material, needs high dilution ratio during treatment. Yeast single cell protein was produced from the wastewater of avermectins fermentation in this research. First, the yeast strain (H-1) which show enough tolerance to avermectins residue was screened from the wastewater, and it was identified as being most closely related to Candida tropicalis (100%, EF120592.1) using 18S rDNA gene sequence analysis. Second, its growth characteristics in the avermectins wastewater were studied. The dry biomass reached the maximal point of 10 g/L, the COD removal was up to 66.67%, and avermectins removal in the wastewater was 99.48% at the optimal condition that it was liquid volume 50 ml (250 ml flask), pH 4.0, temperature 30°C, inoculum volume 10% (V/V) and fermentation period 20 h. Third, the nutritional contents of dry yeast powder were determined, in which the water content was 8.12%, ash content was 5.18% and the crude protein was 40.02%. The dry yeast powder from avermectin waste liquor was promising to be used as a raw material or nitrogen source for commercial production of avermectins. The project was economically feasible by primary cost accounting.  相似文献

In order to test whether 18S rDNA can influence positively xylanase gene effective expression in the yeast of Candida utilis, a targeting vector pGLR9K-XA was constructed by adding an interested gene xynA from Streptomyces olivaceoviridis into the vector pGLR9K which is constructed by ourselves. pGLR9K contains the 18S rDNA, GAP promoter and CYH resistance gene sequence, all of which is from C. utilis. Then the vector pGLR9K-XA was transformed into C. utilis. To test the vector and transformed system, PCR, Southern blot and DNS methods were used. The results showed that xylanase gene can be detected in the chromosome DNA of recombinant C. utilis and the enzyme activity of xylanase is up to 60 IU ml−1 in the study. It is suggested that this system can be used to express exogenous genes in C. utilis as a bioreactors. This is the first report that xylanase gene was expressed in C. utilis.  相似文献
