[PMID: 38495458 PMCID: PMC10943036 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2024.101257] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, high-throughput sequencing and metabolomics analysis were conducted to analyze the microbial and metabolites of dry-cured Sanchuan ham, Laowo ham, Nuodeng ham, and Heqing ham that have fermented for two years produced from western Yunnan China. Results showed that at the genus level, the dominant bacteria in the four types of ham were Halomonas and Staphylococcus, while the dominant fungi were Aspergillus and Yamadazyma. A total 422 different metabolites were identified in four types of ham, mainly amino acids, peptides, fatty acids, and their structural analogs, which were involved in pantothenate and coenzyme A biosynthesis, caffeine, and tyrosine metabolism. The dominant microorganisms of the four types of ham were mainly related to the metabolism of fatty acids and amino acids. This research enhances the identification degree of these four types of dry-cured ham and provides a theoretical basis for developing innovative and distinctive ham products.

Gene 2024; 927:148668. [PMID: 38852695 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2024.148668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2024] [Revised: 06/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
Evidence has indicated that Enterococcus plays a vital role in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) development. However, the microbial genetic basis and metabolic potential in the disease are yet unknown. We previously isolated a bacteria Enterococcus faecium B6 (E. faecium B6) from children with NAFLD for the first time. Here, we aim to systematically investigate the potential of strain B6 in lipogenic effects. The lipogenic effects of strain B6 were explored in vitro and in vivo. The genomic and functional characterizations were investigated by whole-genome sequencing and comparative genomic analysis. Moreover, the metabolite profiles were unraveled by an untargeted metabolomic analysis. We demonstrated that strain B6 could effectively induce lipogenic effects in the liver of mice. Strain B6 contained a circular chromosome and two circular plasmids and posed various functions. Compared to the other two probiotic strains of E. faecium, strain B6 exhibited unique functions in pathways of ABC transporters, phosphotransferase system, and amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism. Moreover, strain B6 produced several metabolites, mainly enriched in the protein digestion and absorption pathway. The unique potential of strain B6 in lipogenic effects was probably associated with glycolysis, fatty acid synthesis, and glutamine and choline transport. This study pioneeringly revealed the metabolic characteristics and specific detrimental traits of strain B6. The findings provided new insights into the underlying mechanisms of E. faecium in lipogenic effects, and laid essential foundations for further understanding of E. faecium-related disease.

Abstract
Traditional dry cured ham (DCH) is favored by consumers for its distinctive flavor, derived from an array of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Microbiota play a pivotal role in the formation of VOCs. To fully comprehend the pathway by which the microbiota enhance the flavor quality of DCH, it is imperative to elucidate the flavor profile of DCH, the structural and metabolic activities of the microbiota, and the intricate relationship between microbial and VOCs. Thus far, the impact of microbiota on the flavor profile of DCH has not been comprehensively discussed or reviewed, and the succession of bacteria, especially at distinct phases of processing, has not been adequately summarized. This article aims to encapsulate the considerable potential of ferments in shaping the flavor characteristics of DCH, while elucidating the underlying mechanisms through which VOCs are generated in hams via microbial metabolism. Throughout the various stages of DCH processing, the composition of microbiota undergoes dynamic changes. Furthermore, they directly participate in the formation of VOCs in DCH through the catabolism of amino acids, metabolism of fatty acids, and the breakdown of carbohydrates. Several microorganisms, including Lactobacillus, Penicillium, Debaryomyces, Pediococcus, and Staphylococcus, exhibit considerable potential as fermenters in ham production.

Abstract
Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) is widely used in foods and is known as a probiotic to treat or prevent diarrhea in pets and livestock. However, the poor resistance of E. faecium to high temperature processing procedures limits its use. Strain domestication is a low-cost and effective method to obtain high-temperature-resistant strains. In this study, heat treatment was performed from 45 °C to 70 °C and the temperature was gradually increased by 5 °C every 3 days. After domestication, the survival rates of the high temperature adaptation strain RS047-wl under 65 °C water bath for 40 min was 11.5 times higher than WT RS047. Moreover, the saturated fatty acid (SFA) contents in cell membrane and the cell volume significantly increased in the RS047-wl. The combined transcriptomic, metabolomic, and proteomics analysis results showed a significant enhancement of cell wall and membrane synthesis ability in the RS047-wl. In conclusion, one of the main factors contributing to the improved high temperature resistance of RS047-wl was its enhanced ability to synthesize cell wall and membrane, which helped maintain normal cell morphology. Developing a high-temperature-resistant strain and understanding its mechanism enables it to adapt to high temperatures. This lays the groundwork for its future development and application.

Changes in N-nitrosamines, residual nitrites, lipid oxidation, biogenic amines, and microbiota in Chinese sausages following treatment with tea polyphenols and their palmitic acid–modified derivatives. J Food Prot 2023; 86:100072. [PMID: 37001484 DOI: 10.1016/j.jfp.2023.100072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of tea polyphenol (TP), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and their palmitic acid-modified derivatives palmitoyl-TP (pTP) and palmitoyl-EGCG (pEGCG) on the accumulation of N-nitrosamine and biogenic amines (BAs), residual nitrites, and lipid oxidation in Chinese sausages. The microorganisms, color, and texture properties of sausages were evaluated. TP, EGCG, pTP, or pEGCG significantly inhibited the accumulation of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and BAs, residual nitrites, and lipid oxidation, but enhanced the redness, hardness, and chewiness of sausages. The concentration of NDMA in sausages was reduced by 58.11%, 63.51%, 36.49%, and 44.59%, respectively, after treatment with TP, EGCG, pTP, and pEGCG. Both EGCG and pEGCG exhibited excellent inhibitory effects on the predominant BAs, including putrescine, tyramine, cadaverine, histamine, and 2-phenylethylamine. Palmitoyl-EGCG was found to be the strongest inhibitor of lipid oxidation. Besides, the four antioxidants weakly affected the population of total aerobic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria but totally suppressed the growth of undesirable Enterobacteriaceae. The principal component and correlation analyses proved that BAs, nitrites, lipid oxidation, and microbiota were responsible for the formation of NDMA. The results indicated that palmitic acid-modified TPs and similar derivatives might serve as potential preservatives to improve the safety and quality of fermented meat products.

Abstract
The problems of spoilage, disease, and biofilm caused by bacterial quorum-sensing (QS) systems have posed a significant challenge to the development of the food industry. Quorum-quenching (QQ) enzymes can block QS by hydrolyzing or modifying the signal molecule, making these enzymes promising new candidates for use as antimicrobials. With many recent studies of QQ enzymes and their potential to target foodborne bacteria, an updated and systematic review is necessary. Thus, the goals of this review were to summarize what is known about the effects of bacterial QS on the food industry; discuss the current understanding of the catalytic mechanisms of QQ enzymes, including lactonase, acylase, and oxidoreductase; and describe strategies for the engineering and evolution of QQ enzymes for practical use. In particular, this review focuses on the latest progress in the application of QQ enzymes in the field of food. Finally, the current challenges limiting the systematic application of QQ enzymes in the food industry are discussed to help guide the future development of these important enzymes.

Genome-wide association mapping reveals genes underlying population-level metabolome diversity in a fungal crop pathogen. BMC Biol 2022; 20:224. [PMID: 36209159 PMCID: PMC9548119 DOI: 10.1186/s12915-022-01422-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 09/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Fungi produce a wide range of specialized metabolites (SMs) involved in biotic interactions. Pathways for the production of SMs are often encoded in clusters of tightly arranged genes identified as biosynthetic gene clusters. Such gene clusters can undergo horizontal gene transfers between species and rapid evolutionary change within species. The acquisition, rearrangement, and deletion of gene clusters can generate significant metabolome diversity. However, the genetic basis underlying variation in SM production remains poorly understood. Results Here, we analyzed the metabolite production of a large population of the fungal pathogen of wheat, Zymoseptoria tritici. The pathogen causes major yield losses and shows variation in gene clusters. We performed untargeted ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry to profile the metabolite diversity among 102 isolates of the same species. We found substantial variation in the abundance of the detected metabolites among isolates. Integrating whole-genome sequencing data, we performed metabolite genome-wide association mapping to identify loci underlying variation in metabolite production (i.e., metabolite-GWAS). We found that significantly associated SNPs reside mostly in coding and gene regulatory regions. Associated genes encode mainly transport and catalytic activities. The metabolite-GWAS identified also a polymorphism in the 3′UTR region of a virulence gene related to metabolite production and showing expression variation. Conclusions Taken together, our study provides a significant resource to unravel polymorphism underlying metabolome diversity within a species. Integrating metabolome screens should be feasible for a range of different plant pathogens and help prioritize molecular studies.
