Modelling and optimization of environmental conditions for kefiran production by Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens

A mathematical model for kefiran production by Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens was established, in which the effects of pH, substrate and product on cell growth, exopolysaccharide formation and substrate assimilation were considered. The model gave a good representation both of the formation of exopolysaccharides (which are not only attached to cells but also released into the medium) and of the time courses of the production of galactose and glucose in the medium (which are produced and consumed by the cells). Since pH and both lactose and lactic acid concentrations differently affected production and growth activity, the model included the effects of pH and the concentrations of lactose and lactic acid. Based on the mathematical model, an optimal pH profile for the maximum production of kefiran in batch culture was obtained. In this study, a simplified optimization method was developed, in which the optimal pH profile was determined at a particular final fermentation time. This was based on the principle that, at a certain time, switching from the maximum specific growth rate to the critical one (which yields the maximum specific production rate) results in maximum production. Maximum kefiran production was obtained, which was 20% higher than that obtained in the constant-pH control fermentation. A genetic algorithm (GA) was also applied to obtain the optimal pH profile; and it was found that practically the same solution was obtained using the GA.     

Enhanced kefiran production by mixed culture of Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens and Saccharomyces cerevisiae

In a batch mixed culture of Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which could assimilate lactic acid, cell growth and kefiran production rates of L. kefiranofaciens significantly increased, compared with those in pure cultures. The kefiran production rate was 36 mg l(-1) h(-1) in the mixed culture under the anaerobic condition, which was greater than that in the pure culture (24 mg l(-1) h(-1)). Under the aerobic condition, a more intensive interaction between these two strains was observed and higher kefiran production rate (44 mg l(-1) h(-1)) was obtained compared with that under the anaerobic condition. Kefiran production was further enhanced by an addition of fresh medium in the fed-batch mixed culture. In the fed-batch mixed culture, a final kefiran concentration of 5.41 g l(-1) was achieved at 87 h, thereby attaining the highest productivity at 62 mg l(-1) h(-1). Simulation study considered the reduction of lactic acid in pure culture was performed to estimate the additional effect of coculture with S. cerevisiae. Slightly higher cell growth and kefiran production rates in the mixed culture than those expected from pure culture by simulation were observed. These results suggest that coculture of L. kefiranofaciens and S. cerevisiae not only reduces the lactic acid concentration by consumption but also stimulates cell growth and kefiran production of L. kefiranofaciens.     

Bioprocess development for kefiran production by Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens in semi industrial scale bioreactor

Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens is non-pathogenic gram positive bacteria isolated from kefir grains and able to produce extracellular exopolysaccharides named kefiran. This polysaccharide contains approximately equal amounts of glucose and galactose. Kefiran has wide applications in pharmaceutical industries. Therefore, an approach has been extensively studied to increase kefiran production for pharmaceutical application in industrial scale. The present work aims to maximize kefiran production through the optimization of medium composition and production in semi industrial scale bioreactor. The composition of the optimal medium for kefiran production contained sucrose, yeast extract and K₂HPO₄ at 20.0, 6.0, 0.25 g L⁻¹, respectively. The optimized medium significantly increased both cell growth and kefiran production by about 170.56% and 58.02%, respectively, in comparison with the unoptimized medium. Furthermore, the kinetics of cell growth and kefiran production in batch culture of L. kefiranofaciens was investigated under un-controlled pH conditions in 16-L scale bioreactor. The maximal cell mass in bioreactor culture reached 2.76 g L⁻¹ concomitant with kefiran production of 1.91 g L⁻¹.     

Physicochemical properties of exopolysaccharide produced by Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens ZW3 isolated from Tibet kefir

An exopolysaccharide (EPS) producing strain, ZW3, was isolated from Tibet kefir grain and was identified as Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens. FT-IR spectroscopy revealed the presence of carboxyl, hydroxyl, and amide groups, which correspond to a typical heteropolymeric polysaccharide. The GC analysis of ZW3 EPS revealed that it was glucogalactan in nature. Exopolymer showed similar flocculation stability like xanthan gum but better than guar gum with a melting point of 93.38 degrees C which is lower than xanthan gum (153.4 degrees C) and guar gum (490.11 degrees C). Compared with other commercially available hydrocolloids like xanthan gum, guar gum and locust gum ZW3 EPS showed much better emulsifying capability.     

Kinetic modeling of kefiran production in mixed culture of Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens and Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Growth and kefiran production rates of Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens were significantly enhanced in a mixed culture with Saccharomyces cerevisiae as compared with those in a pure culture. Because a positive effect on growth and kefiran production of L. kefiranofaciens in a mixed culture was observed, the elucidation of interaction between L. kefiranofaciens and S. cerevisiae may lead to higher productivity. Hence, microbial performance of each strain was investigated and analyzed by a mathematical model. The mathematical model for kefiran fermentation in a mixed culture of L. kefiranofaciens and S. cerevisiae was established, and the impact of S. cerevisiae on cell growth, kefiran formation, and substrate assimilation of L. kefiranofaciens were considered. The behavior of L. kefiranofaciens in a mixed culture was predicted using a developed mathematical model in this work, and the predictions were compared with the results from mixed culture experiments. The overall mathematical model is capable of describing the behavior of S. cerevisiae in a mixed culture as a lactic acid consumer, nitrogen source competitor and protective function inducer for L. kefiranofaciens. Furthermore, the constructed model described the phenomena in mixed cultures under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Finally, the optimal inoculation ratios of S. cerevisiae to L. kefiranofaciens at 7-fold and 10-fold under aerobic and anaerobic conditions were obtained by applying the mixed culture model, respectively.     

Isolation and partial characterization of bacteriocins produced by Lactobacillus gasseri JCM 2124

Four antibacterially active peptides (B1 to B4) were purified from the culture broth of L. gasseri JCM 2124. The B2 peptide (gassericin B2) was determined to be 4400 Da by mass spectrometry and partially sequenced. Gassericin B2 did not show any sequence similarities to other known bacteriocins. The B1 and B3 peptides shared identical sequences with two peptides of a two-component bacteriocin from Lactobacillus acidophilus. However, synergistic activity upon complementation of B1 and B3 was not observed. Based on amino acid sequencing and molecular mass, it is suggested that B1 and B4 peptides were derived from B3 (gassericin B3).     

Fermented product of rice with Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens induces anti-aging effects and heat stress tolerance in nematodes via DAF-16

ABSTRACT

Rice kefiran is superior in functionality, has high concentration of mucilaginous polysaccharide, and low lipid content, compared to conventional kefiran. However, reports on its physiological functionality, especially studies on life expectancy and aging, in model organisms are rare. In this study, nematodes were used as model organisms that were fed rice kefiran, along with Escherichia coli OP50, as a result of which, the lifespan of nematodes was extended and age-related retardation of mobility was suppressed. It also increased the heat stress resistance in nematodes. Experiments using daf-16 deletion mutant revealed that rice kefiran functions via DAF-16. Thus, this study revealed the longevity, anti-aging and heat stress tolerance effects of rice kefiran in nematodes.
