K. KATSABOXAKIS AND K. MALLIDIS. 1996. The microflora of soak water was studied during natural fermentation of coarsely ground chickpea seeds at 32°, 37° and 42°C. The soak water was slightly salted with NaCl 0.5% (w/v) and its proportion to sample was 10 : 1 (v/w). A gas-producing Clostridium species isolated from Reinforced Clostridium Agar (RCA) plates incubated anaerobically, was found to dominate this fermentation system particularly at the higher temperatures. Gram-negative bacteria and yeasts were not found. Bacillus species were isolated from Plate Count Agar (PCA) plates and Lactobacillus, Corynebacterium, Micrococcus and Pediococcus spp. from RCA plates were incubated aerobically. Butyric was the main acid produced at 37° and 42°C and CO2 with hydrogen were identified as main fermentation gases. 相似文献

SUMMARY: From various chilled meats, twenty-eight strains of coli-aerogenes bacteria and one Aeromonas were isolated which grew well at +1±5° and some at −1±5°. The optimum growth temperature for most of these strains was nearer 37° than 30°. Nine strains (including the Aeromonas ) fermented lactose rapidly, the remainder slowly or not at all. All the strains which fermented lactose rapidly with the production of gas gave positive presumptive coli-aerogenes tests in MacConkey's broth at 30°, but only five were positive at 37°; none was positive at 44°. Because such organisms can attain populations of millions/cm2 , they could confuse the interpretation of presumptive coli-aerogenes tests made on chilled meat. 相似文献

The microflora of stored coleslaw and factors affecting the growth of spoilage yeasts in coleslaw 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Saccharomyces dairensis and Sacch. exiguus were isolated as the spoilage flora of coleslaw stored at 5° and 10°C. The growth of these yeasts in mixtures of mayonnaise with vegetable was inhibited by onion. Mayonnaise alone killed the yeasts, primarily because of its content of acetic acid and this effect increased as the temperature was increased and as the pH was decreased. Addition of cabbage or carrot tissue removed the lethal effect of mayonnaise and allowed spoilage, by absorbing acetic acid and increasing the pH. 相似文献

Location of tyrosine phenol-lyase in some Gram-negative bacteria 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Abstract From various habitats (plant material, fruits, soil), yeasts belonging to the species of Pichia kluyveri and Hanseniaspora uvarum were isolated that showed killer activity. According to the activity spectrum against other yeasts these strains belonged to 11 different groups that were distinguishable from the killer strains K1 -K10 . The isoelectric points of the killer proteins were in the range of pH 3.5–3.9, the activity optimum was observed at pH 4.2–4.6. Above pH 5 and above a temperature of 25–35°C the killer proteins were inactivated. 相似文献

Although viable fungi have been recovered from a wide variety of icy environments, their metabolic capabilities under frozen conditions are still largely unknown. We investigated basidiomycetous yeasts isolated from an Antarctic ice core and showed that after freezing at a relatively slow rate (0.8°C min−1 ), the cells are excluded into veins of liquid at the triple junctions of ice crystals. These strains were capable of reproductive growth at −5°C under liquid conditions. Under frozen conditions, metabolic activity was assessed by measuring rates of [3 H]leucine incorporation into the acid-insoluble macromolecular fraction, which decreased exponentially at temperatures between 15°C and −15°C and was inhibited by the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide. Experiments at −5°C under frozen and liquid conditions revealed 2–3 orders of magnitude lower rates of endogenous metabolism in ice, likely due to the high salinity in the liquid fraction of the ice (equivalent of ≈ 1.4 mol l−1 of NaCl at −5°C). The mesophile Saccharomyces cerevisae also incorporated [3 H]leucine at −5°C and −15°C, indicating that this activity is not exclusive to cold-adapted microorganisms. The ability of yeast cells to incorporate amino acid substrates into macromolecules and remain metabolically active under these conditions has implications for understanding the survival of Eukarya in icy environments. 相似文献

SUMMARY: To select and count the sugar tolerant yeasts which ferment sixfold concentrated orange juice, a high sugar agar medium was developed which contains 50% of glucose, 1% of citric acid and 1% of Tryptone; it is incubated for 4–5 days at 25°.
The medium has disadvantages: it is troublesome to prepare, and colonies grow slowly and are translucent. These properties result directly' from the high sugar concentration, on which the selective action of the medium depends.
Counts on this medium have been compared with those on potato dextrose or nutrient dextrose agars (with 2% and 1% of glucose respectively), with yeasts isolated from fermenting concentrate, in pure culture, and under various practical conditions. As a rule, the counts were virtually the same on the different media; nutrient dextrose agar occasionally failed to record small numbers of these yeasts. If the two low sugar media were acidified to pH 3·5 the counts were reduced.
Potato dextrose agar recorded, besides the above yeasts, sugar intolerant yeasts entering from dirty machines or through bad canning practice: nutrient dextrose agar recorded bacteria in addition. The difference between parallel plating on these media and on the high sugar medium thus yielded useful information about sources of casual contamination.
It is suggested that the above would also be largely applicable to other sugar-rich concentrates of not less than 50° Brix. 相似文献

A total of 103 cultures of yeasts were isolated from seven kinds of fresh raw seafoods. The isolates comprised six genera, Candida, Cryptococcus, Debaryomyces, Rhodotorula, Sterigmatomyces and Trichosporon , and included 21 different species. All the isolates were psychrotrophic yeasts. Proteolytic activities of 50 psychrotrophic strains were studied by use of skim milk within the temperature range of 0–42°C. All the strains showed various degrees of proteolysis. In particular, Candida lipolytica. Trichosporon pullulans and Candida scottii were active species at low temperatures. Sensory spoilage due to the proteolytic yeasts were observed in mackerel homogenates stored at 10°C. C. lipolytica -inoculated homogenates caused spoilage with ammoniacal odours after 1 week of storage. Values of total volatile basic nitrogen at 10°C were highest with C. lipolytica among 35 strains tested, followed by Tr. pullans. Trichosporon cutaneum, C. scottii, Rhodotorula glutinis and Cryptococcus luteolus. Proteolytic psychrotrophic yeasts were widely distributed in raw seafoods. 相似文献

S ummary . Three hundred and forty eight strains of micro-organisms were isolated from packaged bacon which had been cured by one or other of 2 methods (A and B) and stored at 0–10° for 7 weeks. Before storage, Micrococcus sub-group 7 (47%) and coryneform bacteria (33%) were the principal contaminants of bacon cured by method A and Micrococcus subgroup 1 (20%) and Microbacterium thermosphactum (21%), in bacon cured by method B. After 7 days at 0°, coagulase negative staphylococci accounted for 10 and 33% of the microflora in bacon A and B, respectively: other organisms were micrococci, 60% (A) and 25% (B); corynebacteria, 20% (A) and 12·5% (B), yeasts ( Torulopsis candida and T. dattila ) 5% (A) and 29% (B). In the following month at 10°, Micrococcus sub-group 5 was the dominant (43–88%) contaminant of bacon B; the incidence of Streptococcus Group N ranged from 27–36% and that of unidentified lactic acid bacteria from 23–32%. Towards the end of storage, the order of dominance was Micrococcus sub-group 3 (38–58%) and atypical streptobacteria (38%) in A; Streptococcus Group N (42%) and Gram positive rods (5–20%) in B. Staphylococci tended to die out during storage of bacons cured by the 2 methods and coagulase positive staphylococci were not isolated. 相似文献

Classification of the spoilage flora of raw and pasteurized bovine milk, with special reference to Pseudomonas and Bacillus 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Eighty-one bacterial strains isolated from refrigerated raw milk, 124 from pasteurized milk and cream stored at 5°C and 7°C, and 19 type and reference strains of Pseudomonas spp. and Bacillus spp. were characterized by numerical phenotypic analysis. Data were processed with simple matching ( S SM ) and Jaccard ( S J ) coefficients, and UPGMA clustering. Fourteen clusters of Gram-negative bacteria were formed at S J = 79% ( S SM = 90%). Raw milk was exclusively spoilt by Gram-negative bacteria, the majority of which were Pseudomonas fluorescens biovar I, Ps. fragi, Ps. lundensis and Ps. fluorescens biovar III. Minor groups in raw milk included Enterobacteriaceae spp. and Acinetobacter spp. Pasteurized milk was spoilt by essentially the same Gram-negative organisms in 65% (5°C) and 50% (7°C) of the cases. The phenotypic characteristics of Gram-negative bacteria are given. Bacillus polymyxa (both temperatures) and B. cereus (only at 7°C) were responsible for 77% of samples spoiled by the Gram-positive organisms. Minor milk spoilage groups included other Bacillus spp. and lactic acid bacteria. All Bacillus spp. grew fermentatively in milk, and most strains denitrified. It is suggested that: (i) industrial recontamination tests of pasteurized milk are directed against Pseudomonas; (ii) milk is stored at 5°C or lower to avoid growth of B. cereus ; and (iii) the significance of gas-producing and nitrate/nitrite-reducing Bacillus strains is recognized in cheese production. 相似文献

Aims: To explain the role of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces uvarum strains (formerly Saccharomyces bayanus var. uvarum ) in wine fermentation.
Methods and Results: Indigenous Saccharomyces spp. yeasts were isolated from Amarone wine (Italy) and analysed. Genotypes were correlated to phenotypes: Melibiose− and Melibiose+ strains displayed a karyotype characterized by three and two bands between 225 and 365 kb, respectively. Two strains were identified by karyotype analysis (one as S. cerevisiae and the other as S. uvarum ). The technological characterization of these two strains was conducted by microvinifications of Amarone wine. Wines differed by the contents of ethanol, residual sugars, acetic acid, glycerol, total polysaccharides, ethyl acetate, 2-phenylethanol and anthocyanins. Esterase and β-glucosidase activities were assayed on whole cells during fermentation at 13° and 20°C. Saccharomyces uvarum displayed higher esterase activity at 13°C, while S. cerevisiae displayed higher β-glucosidase activity at both temperatures.
Conclusions: The strains differed by important technological and qualitative traits affecting the fermentation kinetics and important aroma components of the wine.
Significance and Impact of the Study: The contribution of indigenous strains of S. cerevisiae and S. uvarum to wine fermentation was ascertained under specific winemaking conditions. The use of these strains as starters in a winemaking process could differently modulate the wine sensory characteristics. 相似文献

AIMS: The present study was conducted to screen for psychrophilic yeasts that are able to degrade pectin compounds at low temperature, and to examine the cold-active pectinolytic enzymes produced by the isolated psychrophilic yeasts. METHODS AND RESULTS: Psychrophilic yeasts, which grow on pectin as a sole carbon source, pectinolytic-psychrophilic yeast (PPY) strains PPY-3, 4, 5 and 6, were isolated from soil from Abashiri (Hokkaido, Japan). The sequences of 28S rDNA D1/D2 of strains PPY-3 and 4 indicated a taxonomic affiliation to Cryptococcus cylindricus and Mrakia frigida, respectively, strains PPY-5 and 6 belonged to Cystofilobasidium capitatum. The isolated strains were able to grow on pectin at below 5 degrees C, and showed the activities of several cold-active pectinolytic enzymes. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study indicate the possibility that the isolated strains produce novel pectinolytic enzymes that are able to degrade pectin compounds at low temperature. Significance and Impact of the Study: It is possible that the cold-active pectinolytic enzymes from the isolated strains can be applied to the food industry, e.g. the clarification of fruit juice below 5 degrees C. 相似文献

A total of 34 thermophilic isolates identified as members of the genus Thermoactinomyces by a range of chemotaxonomic, microscopic and determinativebiochemical tests, were isolated from two acid soils. Growth studies in shake flask and fermenteridentified the isolates to be moderately acidophilic with growth occurring between pH4·5 and 6·0 with optima at pH 5·0. The isolates differed considerablyfrom known Thermoactinomyces cultures in their pH profile, colony morphology andin several biochemical tests.Extracellular enzyme activities are identified and partiallycharacterized in termsof their thermostability, pH and temperature profiles from crude supernatantfluid samples. Optimal protease, amylase and pullulanase activity was observed at pH5·0–5·5 and 75–80 °C with each showing T (50) values of 10, 30 and 30 min, respectively. A highly thermotolerant extracellularesterase was also identified which retained 50% activity after 8 h at 90°C . This is the firstreport of an acidophilic member of the genus Thermoactinomyces. 相似文献

1. The predominant organisms isolated from the outer wrapper leaves of freshly harvested white cabbages were: bacteria, yeasts, Alternaria spp., Aureobasidium pullulans, Botrytis cinerea, Cladosporium spp. and Penicillium spp.
2. Few qualitative or quantitative changes were seen in the leaf surface flora during storage at 2°C for up to 33 weeks.
3. Numbers of bacteria, particularly fluorescent and pectolytic pseudomonads, were considerably higher on cabbages drenched with fungicide or water than on corresponding undrenched cabbages. 相似文献

Effect of pH and NaCl on growth from spores of non-proteolytic Clostridium botulinum at chill temperature 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The effect of combinations of temperature (2°, 3°, 4°, 5°, 8° and 10°C), pH (5·0–7·2) and NaCl (0·1–5·0% w/w) on growth from spores of non-proteolytic Clostridium botulinum types B, E and F was determined using a strictly anaerobic medium. Inoculated media were observed weekly for turbidity, and tests were made for the presence of toxin in conditions that approached the limits of growth. Growth and toxin production were detected at 3°C in 5 weeks, at 4°C in 3/4 weeks and at 5°C in 2/3 weeks. The resulting data define growth/no growth boundaries with respect to low temperature, pH, NaCl and incubation time. This is important in assessment of the risk of growth and toxin production by non-proteolytic Cl. botulinum in minimally processed chilled foods. 相似文献

Interaction between isolation source, cellular fatty acid composition and stress tolerance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its subspecies 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

The physiological properties and fatty acid content of 59 strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated from soft-drink factories, a fruit puree factory, a fuel-alcohol distillery and a winery were compared. Discriminant analysis of the results allocated the strains to four groups according to their source. Resistance to preservatives and temperature stress were correlated with differences in fatty acid composition. The fatty acid C18: 1Δ11, growth at pH 2 and in the presence of 200–600 mg 1-1 benzoate or sorbate, and maximal growth rate at 42°C were characteristics associated with yeasts from particular environments. However, tolerance of thermal stress and content of the C18: 2 fatty acid were associated with subspecies: the former species S. capensis, S. chevalieri , etc. The relative content of C10 : 0, C12 : 0 and C18 : 0 acids varied according to both isolation source and subspecies. 相似文献

Many yeasts and bacteria were isolated from moist hays (>30% water content) treated with up to 3% propionic acid-based preservatives. Predominant yeasts were Candida guilliermondii var. guilliermondii and Hyphopichia burtonii. Growth of both species was decreased more than 50% in liquid medium containing 54 mmol/l ammonium propionate but some still occurred in 135 mmol/l propionate. Both metabolized between 80 and 85% of 27 mmol/l ammonium propionate in 1% malt broth within four weeks at 25°C. Growth on solid malt extract agar containing ammonium propionate was decreased by decreasing the water availability (water activity, aw ) in the medium. Growth rates were slightly greater when glycerol rather than NaCl was used to alter aw in the range 0.995 to 0.93. At both 0.995 and 0.95 aw optimum growth was at pH 6. The significance of these findings with regard to the preservation of moist hay is discussed. 相似文献

The Microflora of Milking Equipment Cleansed by Chemical Methods 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
S ummary : The incidence of the main types of bacteria among 2,856 isolated on Yeastrel-milk agar incubated at 30° from 121 rinses of dairy equipment cleansed by chemical methods, showed that micrococci were dominant in low colony count (<104 /ft2 ) rinses of equipment treated by immersion cleaning in caustic soda or cleansed in detergent-hypochlorite solutions, whereas nonpigmented Gram-negative rods were dominant in low count rinses of equipment cleansed with detergent-sterilizers containing quaternary ammonium compounds. Gram-negative rods were dominant and streptococci frequent in high count (<2·5 × 105 /ft2 ) rinses irrespective of the chemical used. A high proportion of the streptococci and coli-aerogenes organisms gave acid reactions in litmus milk after 72 h at 22°, many of the anaerogenic Gram-negative rods and several of the aerobic sporeformers gave proteolytic reactions, whereas the majority of the micrococci, corynebacteria and other asporogenous Gram-positive rods showed no change. Bacteria isolated from high count rinses were more active in producing milk spoilage reactions at 22° than those isolated from low count rinses. 相似文献

The role of the yeast flora of Nigerian palm wine in the leavening activity of the beverage was investigated by subjecting organisms from the wine to dough-raising tests. Those with appreciable leavening activity were identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida spp. They produced maximum dough volumes in 3–4 h at 37°C. The study has provided experimental evidence that yeasts contribute to the leavening activity of palm wine and has identified strains which have potential utility in commercial bread baking. 相似文献

The production and stability of pediocin N5p from Pediococcus pentosaceus , isolated from wine, were examined in grape juice medium. Maximum growth and higher titre (4000 U ml-1 ) were observed at a initial pH of 7·5 and 30°C. The activity of the inhibitory substance was stable between pH values from 2·0 to 5·0 at 4° and 30°C. At pH 10·0 it was completely inactivated. When submitted to 30 min at 80°, 100° and 115°C, maximal stability was observed at pH 2·0. Ethanol up to 10% did not affect pediocin activity at acid pH, nor did 40–80 mg 1-1 SO2 , independently or combined with different ethanol concentrations, affect inhibitory activity. 相似文献

Abstract Cellulolytic actinomycetes were isolated from the hindgut of four different termites: Macrotermes, Armitermes, Odontotermes and Microcerotermes spp.
The isolated actinomycetes ( Streptomyces sp. and Micromonospora sp.) were grown on cellulosic substrates and their extracellular cellulase (Cl , Cx and cellobiase) activity evaluated; using filter paper as a substrate for Cl , carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) for Cx and d -cellobiose for cellobiase, all strains were shown to degrade soluble and insoluble cellulose; optimum pH for growth was 6.2–6.7 at 28°C; three strains could grow at 48°C on cellulosic substrates.
Some strains exhibited high cellulase activity, constant for 5–7 days, but inhibition by glucose was a common feature for almost all isolates. 相似文献
