The changes during the fermentation of ogi, a cereal-based traditional lactic acid-fermented weaning food were studied up to the spoilage stage. Ogi off-odour was first noticed at the fourth day of fermentation (including 24 h steeping). Yeast isolates such as Candida valida, C. krusei, Geotrichum candidum and bacteria like Lactobacillus brevis, L. plantarum, Pediococcus pentosaceus, Bacillus subtilis, Brevibacterium linens, Br. oxydans and other two Brevibacterium spp. dominated the fermenting mash at the spoilage stage. The brevibacteria contributed most significantly to ogi off-odour. Ogi samples inoculated with lactic acid bacteria increased acidity and product acceptability over the time of fermentation. The pH, titratable acidity, dissolved hydrogen sulphide and the presence of brevibacteria appear as good indices for monitoring spoilage. Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) levels appear to be the most useful of the parameters studied. No coliforms and clostridia were identified during spoilage.  相似文献

A new medium containing 200 ppb of 2-hydroxy-2',4,4'-trichlorodiphenyloxide (CH3565) and 10 ppm of cetyl-trimethyl-ammonium bromide (Cetrimide) in tryptic soy agar was developed and tested with 19 pure cultures of Pseudomonas, 20 microorganisms of other genera, commercially prepared ground beef, and laboratory-prepared inoculated ground beef. The new medium, CETCH agar, was compared with an antibiotic-containing medium. CETCH agar provided greater pseudomonad recoveries, a shorter incubation period prior to plate counting, and greater ease of preparation.  相似文献

The bacterial flora of water in Narragansett Bay, R.I., was observed semimonthly from 1962 to 1964. Dominant isolates were keyed to genus, and the isolates for each genus were expressed as percentage of total isolates. There was a consistent inverse relationship between arthrobacters and the dominant pseudomonads. Pseudomonad growth on agar plates markedly inhibited arthrobacter cross-streaks. Agar from inhibition zones as well as supernatant fluids from pseudomonad broth cultures inhibited arthrobacter motility and caused the cells to agglutinate. Gummy pseudomonad residues from vacuum-evaporated broth cultures readily passed a G-25 Sephadex column. This material agglutinated arthrobacter cells, but failed to cause arthrobacter inhibition in filter-pad assays. In contrast, sterile medium inside a dialysis sac, inoculated externally with a pseudomonad, was inhibitory to arthrobacters in pad assay but failed to agglutinate arthrobacter cells. Pseudomonad isolates from soil showed similar inhibiting and agglutinating activities for both soil and seawater arthrobacter isolates. The inhibitory and agglutinating activities of pseudomonad isolates appeared to diminish on prolonged laboratory cultivation.  相似文献

Summary A protocol for producing competent Pseuclomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas putida, and Xanthomonas maltophilia was adapted and modified from existing methods. Cells were incubated on ice for 30 minutes in buffered 100 mM MgCl2 followed by 30 minutes in buffered 100 mM CaCl2 prior to addition of DNA. The MgCl2-CaCl2 incubation increased transformation efficiency two to three times, compared with protocols which use incubation in either Mg2+ or Ca2+, but not both.  相似文献

Signal extracts prepared from culture supernatants of Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO stimulated GacA-dependent expression of small RNAs and hence of antibiotic compounds in both hosts. Pseudomonas corrugata LMG2172 and P. fluorescens SBW25 also produced signal molecules stimulating GacA-controlled antibiotic synthesis in strain CHA0, illustrating a novel, N-acyl-homoserine lactone-independent type of interspecies communication.  相似文献

Naphthalenesulfonate-degrading bacteria were obtained by continuous enrichment from a naphthalene-degrading population from sewage. In addition to naphthalene, Pseudomonas sp. A3 can utilize 2-naphthalenesulfonate (2NS) and Pseudomonas sp. C22 can utilize both 1-naphthalenesulfonate (1NS) and 2NS as sole carbon sources. In a mixture of 1NS and 2NS, the former substrate is utilized by strain C22 only after complete consumption of 2NS. During exponential growth, approximately 10% of the organic carbon of naphthalenesulfonates is temporarily excreted. These unidentified metabolites can readily be used by other bacteria, which, by supplying strain C22 with vitamins, allow optimal growth in stable mixed cultures. The degradative capability of Pseudomonas sp. A3 for 2NS was irreversibly lost under nonselective growth conditions and could be transferred from the wild type to a distinguishable cured strain of the wild type.  相似文献

Fine Structure of Selected Marine Pseudomonads and Achromobacters   总被引:2,自引:3,他引:2  
The fine structure of more than 20 marine pseudomonads and more than 15 achromobacters was examined. Under the conditions extant, clear differences between members of these two groups were seen. The pseudomonads displayed the characteristic gram-negative morphology: the cell wall was irregularly undulant and the cytoplasmic membrane more nearly planar, ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles were loosely packed throughout the periphery of the cytoplasm, and the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was axially disposed. Cell division appeared to be by constriction. Some strains characteristically produced evaginations or blebs of the cell wall. Occasionally, thick, densely stained ring structures were seen which are possibly analogous to mesosomes. In contrast, the achromobacters demonstrated a regularly undulant outer cell wall element and a planar inner wall. The cytoplasmic membrane was thin and not readily observed. RNP particles were densely stained and tightly packed in the cytoplasm; the DNA was most often lobate in disposition. Cellular division was mediated by the formation of a septum which consisted of the cytoplasmic membrane and the inner element of the cell wall. Mesosomes were observed in all of the strains examined. Dense inclusion bodies were also seen in many strains.  相似文献

We used thermoluminescence, electron spin resonance, and viscosimetric measurements to establish whether or not a spice had been irradiated. Thermoluminescence, using the 1788 EN official protocol with an alternative method for the extraction of mineral impurities, led to proof of irradiation or proof of no treatment. Electron spin resonance led to different spectrum shapes depending on the chemical composition of the spices; ESR could only be used as proof of irradiation up to several weeks after irradiation, and only for some spices. Viscosimetric measurements carried out on spice suspensions led to a presumption of treatment (or of no treatment) and possibly to proof of irradiation.  相似文献

Functional bacterial amyloids (FuBA) are important components in many environmental biofilms where they provide structural integrity to the biofilm, mediate bacterial aggregation and may function as virulence factor by binding specifically to host cell molecules. A novel FuBA system, the Fap system, was previously characterized in the genus Pseudomonas, however, very little is known about the phylogenetic diversity of bacteria with the genetic capacity to apply this system. Studies of genomes and public metagenomes from a diverse range of habitats showed that the Fap system is restricted to only three classes in the phylum Proteobacteria, the Beta-, Gamma- and Deltaproteobacteria. The structural organization of the fap genes into a single fapABCDEF operon is well conserved with minor variations such as a frequent deletion of fapA. A high degree of variation was seen within the primary structure of the major Fap fibril monomers, FapC, whereas the minor monomers, FapB, showed less sequence variation. Comparison of phylogenetic trees based on Fap proteins and the 16S rRNA gene of the corresponding bacteria showed remarkably similar overall topology. This indicates, that horizontal gene transfer is an infrequent event in the evolution of the Fap system.  相似文献

Root-colonizing, saprophytic fluorescent pseudomonads of the Pseudomonas putida-P. fluorescens group express similar levels of catalase and superoxide dismutase activities during growth on a sucrose- and amino acid-rich medium. Increased specific activities of catalase but not superoxide dismutase were observed during growth of these bacteria on components washed from root surfaces. The specific activities of both enzymes were also regulated during contact of these bacteria with intact bean roots. Increased superoxide dismutase and decreased catalase activities were observed rapidly, by 10 min upon inoculation of cells onto intact bean roots. Catalase specific activity increased with time to peak at 12 h before declining. By 48 h, the cells displayed this low catalase but maintained high superoxide dismutase specific activities. Catalase with a low specific activity and a high superoxide dismutase activity also were present in extracts of cells obtained from 7-day-old roots colonized from inoculum applied to seed. This specific activity of superoxide dismutase of root-contacted cells was about fourfold-higher in comparison to cells grown on rich medium, whereas the specific activity for catalase was reduced about fivefold. A single catalase isozyme, isozyme A, and one isozyme of superoxide dismutase, isozyme 1, were detected during growth of the bacteria on root surface components and during exposure of cells to intact bean roots for 1 h. An additional catalase, isozyme B, was detected from bacteria after exposure to the intact bean roots for 12 h. Catalase isozyme A and superoxide dismutase isozyme 1 were located in the cytoplasm and catalase band B was located in the membrane of P. putida.  相似文献

We have initiated a series of experiments to quantify the impact of environmental variables on the observed frequency of micronuclei in monolayer cultures. In this paper the influence of preirradiation of cell culture vessels on micronucleus formation in Chinese hamster ovary cells was examined. Dry cell culture vessels were preirradiated with 2 Gy of either alpha particles or X rays and immediately plated with nonirradiated cells. About 48 h later a group of randomly chosen containers was set aside, and the rest of the containers were exposed to a range of doses of X rays or alpha-particle radiation. Nonirradiated cells plated on previously irradiated cell culture surfaces manifested nearly as many micronuclei as the irradiated cells. In all experiments, preirradiation of the cell substrate (the culture dish) led to a significantly increased micronucleus frequency relative to unirradiated substrate. These results suggest that methods of cell culture vessel sterilization and the composition of cell attachment surfaces could be a confounding factor, particularly in low-dose experiments.  相似文献

AIMS: To evaluate the effect of high-pressure processing (HPP) on Listeria monocytogenes, microbial and chemical changes and shelf-life in chilled cold-smoked salmon (CSS). METHODS AND RESULTS: First, challenge tests with L. monocytogenes were carried out using HPP of the product at 0.1 (control), 150, 200 and 250 MPa. Secondly, storage trials with the naturally contaminated product and HPP at 0.1 (control) and 200 MPa were realized. Shelf-life, microbial changes and chemical changes were determined and existing predictive models and multiple compound quality indices evaluated. HPP with 250 MPa did not inactivate L. monocytogenes but significant lag phases of 17 and 10 days were observed at ca 5 and 10 degrees C, respectively. HPP with 200 MPa had a marked effect on both colour and texture of CSS. CONCLUSIONS: High-pressure processing was unable to prevent growth of L. monocytogenes or spoilage of chilled CSS. Existing mathematical models allowed growth rates of L. monocytogenes and shelf-life of samples without high-pressure treatments to be predicted. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: High-pressure processing seems more appropriate for new types of salmon products than for a classical product like CSS where consumers expect specific quality attributes.  相似文献
