为了获得优化的猪乳铁蛋白乳杆菌表达系统,并比较重组猪乳铁蛋白的抑菌活性,根据乳杆菌使用密码子的偏嗜性优化合成猪乳铁蛋白成熟肽编码序列,将其克隆到乳杆菌表达载体pPG612.1的XhoⅠ/BamHⅠ位点,获得了plf乳杆菌表达载体质粒pPG612.1-plf。将获得的重组质粒分别电转化入干酪乳杆菌ATCC393、戊糖乳杆菌KLDS1.0413、植物乳杆菌KLDS1.0344和副干酪乳杆菌KLDS1.0652细胞内,获得4种表达猪乳铁蛋白的重组乳杆菌。经木糖诱导,通过Western blotting和激光共聚焦检测重组猪乳铁蛋白的表达,用ELISA方法检测和比较4种重组菌上清中表达猪乳铁蛋白的量,并用琼脂孔穴扩散抑菌法检测4种重组乳杆菌表达乳铁蛋白的抑菌活性。结果表明,乳铁蛋白在4种重组乳杆菌中均得到正确表达,其产物分子量约73 kDa,重组干酪乳杆菌、重组戊糖乳杆菌、重组植物乳杆菌和重组副干酪乳杆菌的重组猪乳铁蛋白表达量分别为9.6μg/mL、10.8μg/mL、12.5μg/mL、9.9μg/mL。重组猪乳铁蛋白对大肠杆菌、金黄色葡萄球菌、鼠伤寒沙门氏菌、巴氏杆菌和李氏杆菌均有一定的抑菌作用,对金黄色葡萄球菌的抑菌作用最强,且4种重组乳杆菌中重组植物乳杆菌表达产物的抑菌效果优于其他重组菌的表达产物。结果表明在4种乳杆菌中重组猪乳铁蛋白的最佳表达系统为植物乳杆菌,该结果为猪乳铁蛋白的乳杆菌表达系统进一步开发与应用奠定了基础。     

Characterization of bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS) from sourdough lactic acid bacteria and evaluation of their in vitro and in situ activity

AIMS: To identify and characterize bacteriocion-producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in sourdoughs and to compare in vitro and in situ bacteriocin activity of sourdough- and nonsourdough LAB. METHODS AND RESULTS: Production of antimicrobial compounds by 437 Lactobacillus strains isolated from 70 sourdoughs was investigated. Five strains (Lactobacillus pentosus 2MF8 and 8CF, Lb. plantarum 4DE and 3DM and Lactobacillus spp. CS1) were found to produce distinct bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS). BLIS-producing Lactococcus lactis isolated from raw barley showed a wider inhibitory spectrum than sourdough LAB, but they did not inhibit all strains of the key sourdough bacterium Lb. sanfranciscensis. Antimicrobial production by Lb. pentosus 2MF8 and Lc. lactis M30 was also demonstrated in situ. CONCLUSIONS: BLIS production by sourdough LAB appears to occur at a low frequency, showing limited inhibitory spectrum when compared with BLIS-producing Lc. lactis. Nevertheless, they are active BLIS producers under sourdough and bread-making conditions. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The activity of BLIS has been demonstrated in situ. It may influence the complex sourdough microflora and support the implantation and stability of selected insensitive bacteria, such as Lb. sanfranciscensis, useful to confer good characteristics to the dough.     

Enzymatic Synthesis of α-d-Glucopyranosyl-2-deoxy-d-glucoses by Transglucosylation Reaction of Buckwheat α-Glucosidase

The transglucosylation reaction of buckwheat α-glucosidase was examined under the coexistence of 2-deoxy-d-glucose and maltose. As the transglucosylation products, two kinds of new disaccharide were chromatographically isolated in a crystalline form (hemihydrate). It was confirmed that these disaccharides were 3-O-α-d-glucopyranosyl-2-deoxy-d-glucose ([α]_d + 132°, mp 130 ~ 132°C, mp of ±-heptaacetate 151 ~ 152°C) and 4-O-±-d-glucopyranosyl-2-deoxy-d-glucose ([±]_d + 136°, mp 168 ~ 170°C), respectively. The principal product formed in the enzyme reaction was 3-O-±-d-glucopyranosyl-2-deoxy-d-glucose.     

Characterisation of autolytic enzymes in Lactobacillus pentosus

AIMS: To characterize autolysis and autolytic system of the lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus pentosus. METHODS AND RESULTS: Autolysis of nine Lact. pentosus strains was evaluated in buffer solution. Their peptidoglycan hydrolase profiles were examined by renaturing SDS-PAGE and revealed two major activity bands at 58 and 112 kDa. Specificity analysis indicated the presence of at least two different types of peptidoglycan hydrolase activities in Lact. pentosus 1091. CONCLUSIONS: Autolysis of Lact. pentosus was shown to be strain dependent and involvement of at least two different autolysins was evidenced. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The autolytic system of Lact. pentosus was characterized for the first time and the data obtained could be used in the selection of strains of technological interest.     

A NEWLY ANTI-Streptococcus suis BACTERIOCIN PRODUCING STRAIN FROM UNWEANED PIGLETS FECAL MATTER: ISOLATION,PRELIMINARY IDENTIFICATION,AND OPTIMIZATION OF MEDIUM COMPOSITION FOR ENHANCED BACTERIOCIN PRODUCTION

A newly isolated anti-Streptococcus suis bacteriocin-producing strain LPL1-5 was obtained from healthy unweaned piglets' fecal matter, and was designated as Lactobacillus pentosus LPL1-5 based on morphology, biochemical properties, and 16S rDNA sequencing analysis. The medium composition for enhanced bacteriocin production by L. pentosus LPL1-5 was optimized by statistical methodology. Yeast extract, K₂HPO₄ · 3H₂O, and MnSO₄ · H₂O were identified as significant components influencing pentocin LPL1-5 production using the Plackett–Burman method. Response surface methodology was applied for further optimization. The concentrations of medium components for enhanced pentocin LPL1-5 production were as follows (g/L): lactose 20.00, tryptone 10.00, beef extract 10.00, yeast extract 14.00, MnSO₄ · H₂O 0.84, K₂HPO₄ · 3H₂O 4.92, triammonium citrate 2.00, Na-acetate 5.00, MgSO₄ · 7H₂O 0.58, Tween 80 1.00. Under the optimized condition, a value of 3154.65 ± 27.93 IU/mL bacteriocin activity was achieved, which was 4.2-fold that of the original medium.     

Enhanced lactic acid bacteria viability with yeast coincubation under acidic conditions

ABSTRACT

The enhancing effects of yeasts on the viability of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) under acidic conditions were investigated. Meyerozyma guilliermondii, coaggregative with both LAB strains under acidic conditions, significantly enhanced the viability of Lactobacillus pentosus and L. paracasei in pH 3.0 lactic acid (LA) buffer at 10°C (p < 0.05). Non-coaggregative yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and Cyberlindnera saturnus) also significantly enhanced the LAB viability (p < 0.05), and physical contact between LAB and yeasts was not essential for the viability-enhancing effect, indicating that the coaggregation had no relation to the enhancing mechanism. Although yeast metabolites and LA assimilation had no enhancing effect, hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) decreased after yeast coincubation, and H₂O₂ elimination improved L. pentosus viability. H₂O₂ elimination alone did not sufficiently improve L. paracasei viability, but the addition of antioxidants was effective. These results suggest that the antioxidant activity of yeast increased the LAB viability under acidic conditions.     

Rapid species identification within two groups of closely related lactobacilli using PCR primers that target the 16S/23S rRNA spacer region

A rapid and reliable PCR-based method for distinguishing closely related species within two groups of lactobacilli is described. Primers complementary to species-specific sequences in the 16S/23S rDNA spacer regions were designed after sequencing and sequence comparison of the spacer regions of 32 strains. The strains belong to two groups of closely related Lactobacillus species; one composed of Lactobacillus curvatus, Lactobacillus graminis and Lactobacillus sake, the other of Lactobacillus paraplantarum, Lactobacillus pentosus and Lactobacillus plantarum. PCR assays with the designed primers and subsequent agarose gel analysis of the amplified fragments allowed the same species identification as the DNA/DNA hybridization procedure.

Lactobacillus pentosus strain b240 suppresses pneumonia induced by Streptococcus pneumoniae in mice

Aims: Oral administration of probiotics has been known to improve inflammatory responses against infectious diseases. Here, we describe the inhibitory effect of oral intake of heat‐killed Lactobacillus pentosus strain b240 (b240) on pneumococcal pneumonia in a murine experimental model. Method and Results: The mice treated with oral b240 for 21 days before Streptococcus pneumoniae infection exhibited prolonged survival time and less body weight loss, compared with saline‐treated control mice. Mild pneumonia with significantly reduced secretion of inflammatory cytokines/chemokines according to related mitogen‐activated protein kinase signalling molecules (phosphorylated c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase) was found in b240‐treated mice, whereas severe pneumonia with hypercytokinemia was evident in control mice. Prominent reduction in the number of pneumococci and elevated expression of Toll‐like receptor 2 and 4 in the lung tissues was concomitantly noted in b240‐treated mice. Conclusions: These findings indicate that b240 has inhibitory effects on pneumococcal pneumonia induced by Strep. pneumoniae infection and improves inflammatory tissue responses, resulting in reduced damages to the respiratory tissues. Significance and Impact of the Study: These results demonstrate that oral administration of b240 might protect host animals from Strep. pneumoniae infection by augmentation of innate immune response.
