Abstract
Sporolactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria, which can be widely found in soil. According to NCBI, only 20 strains of the genus Sporolactobacillus have been identified through phenotypic and genotypic analysis, indicating their relatively low numbers compared to other lactic acid bacteria. Currently, there is a growing interest in isolating and studying Sporolactobacillus, particularly focusing on its physiological characteristics and conducting in vitro experiments. This paper provides a review of the sources and physiological characteristics of Sporolactobacillus, along with genotype analysis, carbohydrate metabolism traits, and potential antibacterial properties. It also delves into basic physiological characteristics, lactic acid production, and applications, offering insights for the future utilization of Sporolactobacillus and laying a foundation for exploring its potential applications.

Association between organic nitrogen substrates and the optical purity of D-lactic acid during the fermentation by Sporolactobacillus terrae SBT-1. Sci Rep 2024; 14:10522. [PMID: 38719898 PMCID: PMC11079031 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-61247-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The development of biotechnological lactic acid production has attracted attention to the potential production of an optically pure isomer of lactic acid, although the relationship between fermentation and the biosynthesis of highly optically pure D-lactic acid remains poorly understood. Sporolactobacillus terrae SBT-1 is an excellent D-lactic acid producer that depends on cultivation conditions. Herein, three enzymes responsible for synthesizing optically pure D-lactic acid, including D-lactate dehydrogenase (D-LDH; encoded by ldhDs), L-lactate dehydrogenase (L-LDH; encoded by ldhLs), and lactate racemase (Lar; encoded by larA), were quantified under different organic nitrogen sources and concentration to study the relationship between fermentation conditions and synthesis pathway of optically pure lactic acid. Different organic nitrogen sources and concentrations significantly affected the quantity and quality of D-lactic acid produced by strain SBT-1 as well as the synthetic optically pure lactic acid pathway. Yeast extract is a preferred organic nitrogen source for achieving high catalytic efficiency of D-lactate dehydrogenase and increasing the transcription level of ldhA2, indicating that this enzyme plays a major role in D-lactic acid formation in S. terrae SBT-1. Furthermore, lactate racemization activity could be regulated by the presence of D-lactic acid. The results of this study suggest that specific nutrient requirements are necessary to achieve a stable and highly productive fermentation process for the D-lactic acid of an individual strain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Environmental stress resistance is still a bottleneck for economical process for l-lactic acid fermentation. Chronological lifespan (CLS) extension has represented a promising strategy for improving stress resistance of microbial cell factories. MAIN METHODS AND MAJOR RESULTS In this study, addition of anti-aging drug cysteine, a kind of extending CLS of microbial cell factories, was systematically evaluated on cell viability and l-lactic acid production in Bacillus coagulans CICC 23843. The results revealed that 16 mm l-cysteine supplement significantly improved l-lactic acid titer in B. coagulans. The enhanced total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and key enzymes activities involving in glycolytic pathway as well as differentially expressed genes involved in cysteine synthesize and cysteine precursor synthesize pathways, and fatty acid degradation pathway may help to further understand the relative mechanism of l-cysteine effect on improving l-lactic acid accumulation. Finally, based on 16 mm l-cysteine supplement, a final l-lactic acid titer of 130.5 g L-1 with l-lactic acid productivity of 4.07 g L-1 h-1 and the conversion rate of 0.94 g g-1 total sugar was achieved in a 5 L bioreactor. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS This study provided a valuable option for engineering lactic acid bacteria lifespan for enhancement of lactic acid yield.

Abstract
Two lactic bacteria were used in sequential co-cultures to demineralize (DM) and deproteinize (DP) shrimp shells (SS) to obtain chitin. During the first 24 h, Lactobacillus delbrueckii performed the DM in a minimal medium containing 100 g/L SS and 50 g/L glucose. Then, three different conditions were assayed to complete DM and perform the DP stage: 1) Bifidobacterium lactis was added with 35 g/L of glucose (Ld-G → Bl-G); 2) only B. lactis was added (Ld-G → Bl); and 3) a 35 g/L pulse of glucose was added, and at 48 h, B. lactis was inoculated (Ld-G → G → Bl). The highest DM (98.63 %) and DP (88 %) were obtained using a glucose pulse in the DM step and controlling the pH value above 6.0 in the DP step. Finally, a deacetylases cocktail produced by Aspergillus niger catalyzed the deacetylation of the resulting chitin. The chitosan samples had a deacetylation degree higher than 78 % and a solubility of 25 % in 1.0 N acetic acid. The deacetylation yield was 74 % after a mild chemical treatment, with a molecular weight of 71.31 KDa. This work reports an entirely biological process to get chitin and chitosan from SS with high yields.

Abstract
To overcome the problems with current mineral supplements for laying hens including low absorption, mineral antagonism, and high cost, we developed mineral element fermentation complexes (MEFC) by synergistically fermenting bean dregs and soybean meal with strains and proteases and complexing with mineral elements. The fermentation complexation process was optimized based on the small peptide and organic acid contents and the complexation rate of mineral elements after fermentation. The optimal conditions were as follows: the total inoculum size was 5% (v/w), 15% (w/w) wheat flour middling was added to the medium, and mineral elements (with 4% CaCO3) were added after the completion of aerobic fermentation, fermentation at 34°C and 11 days of fermentation. Under these conditions, the complexation rates of Ca, Fe, Cu, Mn, and Zn were 90.62, 97.24, 73.33, 94.64, and 95.93%, respectively. The small peptide, free amino acid, and organic acid contents were 41.62%, 48.09 and 183.53 mg/g, respectively. After 60 days of fermentation, 82.11% of the Fe in the MEFC was ferrous ions, indicating that fermentation had a good antioxidant effect on ferrous ion, and the antioxidant protection period was at least 60 days. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the mineral ions were complexed with amino and carboxyl groups. The added mineral elements promoted microbial growth, protein degradation, and organic acid secretion and significantly improved fermentation efficiency. Animal experiments showed that MEFC had positive effects on several parameters, including production performance (average daily feed intake, P < 0.05; egg production rate, P < 0.05; and average egg weight, P < 0.05), mineral absorption, intestinal morphology (villus height to crypt depth ratio in the jejunum and ileum, P < 0.05), and blood routine and biochemical indexes (red blood cells, P < 0.05; hemoglobin, P < 0.05). This study provides theoretical support for the development of mineral complexes for laying hens via fermentation.

Microb Biotechnol 2022; 15:2717-2729. [PMID: 35921426 PMCID: PMC9618312 DOI: 10.1111/1751-7915.14125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
PLA (3‐D‐phenyllactic acid) is an ideal antimicrobial and immune regulatory compound present in honey and fermented foods. Sporolactobacillus inulinus is regarded as a potent D‐PLA producer that reduces phenylpyruvate (PPA) with D‐lactate dehydrogenases. In this study, PLA was produced by whole‐cell bioconversion of S. inulinus ATCC 15538. Three genes encoding D‐lactate dehydrogenase (d‐ldh1, d‐ldh2, and d‐ldh3) were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), and their biochemical and structural properties were characterized. Consequently, a high concentration of pure D‐PLA (47 mM) was produced with a high conversion yield of 88%. Among the three enzymes, D‐LDH1 was responsible for the efficient conversion of PPA to PLA with kinetic parameters of Km (0.36 mM), kcat (481.10 s−1), and kcat/Km (1336.39 mM−1 s−1). In silico structural analysis and site‐directed mutagenesis revealed that the Ile307 in D‐LDH1 is a key residue for excellent PPA reduction with low steric hindrance at the substrate entrance. This study highlights that S. inulinus ATCC 15538 is an excellent PLA producer, equipped with a highly specific and efficient D‐LDH1 enzyme.

Omics analysis reveals mechanism underlying metabolic oscillation during continuous very-high-gravity ethanol fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Biotechnol Bioeng 2021; 118:2990-3001.

Abstract
During continuous very-high-gravity (VHG) ethanol fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the process exhibits sustained oscillation in residual glucose, ethanol, and biomass, raising a question: how do yeast cells respond to this phenomenon? In this study, the oscillatory behavior of yeast cells was characterized through transcriptome and metabolome analysis for one complete oscillatory period. By analyzing the accumulation of 26 intracellular metabolites and the expression of 90 genes related to central carbon metabolism and stress response, we confirmed that the process oscillation was attributed to intracellular metabolic oscillation with phase difference, and the expression of HXK1, HXT1,2,4, and PFK1 was significantly different from other genes in the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway, indicating that glucose transport and phosphorylation could be key nodes for regulating the intracellular metabolism under oscillatory conditions. Moreover, the expression of stress response genes was triggered and affected predominately by ethanol inhibition in yeast cells. This progress not only contributes to the understanding of mechanisms underlying the process oscillation observed for continuous VHG ethanol fermentation, but also provides insights for understanding unsteady state that might develop in other continuous fermentation processes operated under VHG conditions to increase product titers for robust production.

Abstract
Recently, the industrial-scale development of microbial D-lactic acid production has been discussed. In this study, the efficiency of the new isolate Sporolactobacillus terrae SBT-1 for producing D-lactic acid under challenge conditions was investigated. The isolate SBT-1 exhibited superior activity in fermenting a very high glucose or sucrose concentration to D-lactic acid compared to the other S. terrae isolates previously reported in the literature; therefore, SBT-1 could overcome the limitations of effective lactic acid production. In batch cultivation using 360 g/L glucose, SBT-1 produced 290.30 g/L D-lactate with a sufficiently high glucose conversion yield of 86%, volumetric productivity of 3.02 g/L h, and optical purity of 96.80% enantiomer excess. SBT-1 could also effectively utilize 440 g/L sucrose as a sole carbon source to produce 276.50 g/L lactic acid with a conversion yield of 90%, a production rate of 2.88 g/L h, and an optical purity of 98%. D-Lactic acid fermentation by two other related producers, S. inulinus NRIC1133T and S. terrae NRIC0357T, was compared with fermentation by isolate SBT-1. The experimental data revealed that SBT-1 possessed the ability to ferment relatively high glucose or sucrose concentrations to D-lactic acid without obvious catabolite repression and byproduct formation compared to the two reference strains. In draft genome sequencing of S. terrae SBT-1, the results provided here can promote further study to overcome the current limitations for the industrial-scale production of D-lactic acid.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study was to prove that Terrilactibacillus laevilacticus SK5-6, a novel D-lactate producer, exhibited a good fermentation performance comparing to the reference D-lactate producer Sporolactobacillus sp.
Methods
Glucose bioconversion for D-lactate production and the activity of five key enzymes including phosphofructokinase (PFK), pyruvate kinase (PYK), D-lactate dehydrogenase (D-LDH), L-lactate dehydrogenase (L-LDH), and lactate isomerase (LI) were investigated in the cultivation of T. laevilacticus SK5–6 and S. laevolacticus 0361T.
Results
T. laevilacticus SK5–6 produced D-lactate at higher yield, productivity, and optical purity compared with S. laevolacticus 0361T. T. laevilacticus SK5–6, the catalase-positive isolate, simultaneously grew and produced D-lactate without lag phase while delayed growth and D-lactate production were observed in the culture of S. laevolacticus 0361T. The higher production of D-lactate in T. laevilacticus SK5–6 was due to the higher growth rate and the higher specific activities of the key enzymes observed at the early stage of the fermentation. The low isomerization activity was responsible for the high optical purity of D-lactate in the cultivation of T. laevilacticus SK5–6.
Conclusion
The lowest specific activity of PFK following by PYK and D/L-LDHs, respectively, indicated that the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate was the rate limiting step. Under the well-optimized conditions, the activation of D/L-LDHs by fructose-1,6-phosphate and ATP regeneration by PYK drove glucose bioconversion toward D-lactate. The optical purity of D-lactate was controlled by D/L-LDHs and the activation of isomerases. High D-LDH with limited isomerase activity was preferable during the fermentation as it assured the high optical purity.

Relative catalytic efficiencies and transcript levels of three d- and two l-lactate dehydrogenases for optically pure d-lactate production in Sporolactobacillus inulinus. Microbiologyopen 2018; 8:e00704. [PMID: 30066438 PMCID: PMC6528580 DOI: 10.1002/mbo3.704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2018] [Revised: 07/02/2018] [Accepted: 07/03/2018] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
As the optical purity of the lactate monomer is pivotal for polymerization, the production of optically pure d‐lactate is of significant importance. Sporolactobacillus inulinus YBS1‐5 is a superior optically pure d‐lactate‐producing bacterium. However, little is known about the relationship between lactate dehydrogenases in S. inulinus YBS1‐5 and the optical purity of d‐lactate. Three potential d‐lactate dehydrogenase (D‐LDH1‐3)‐ and two putative l‐lactate dehydrogenase (L‐LDH1‐2)‐encoding genes were cloned from the YBS1‐5 strain and expressed in Escherichia coli D‐LDH1 exhibited the highest catalytic efficiency toward pyruvate, whereas two L‐LDHs showed low catalytic efficiency. Different neutralizers significantly affected the optical purity of d‐lactate produced by strain YBS1‐5 as well as the transcription levels of ldhDs and ldhLs. The high catalytic efficiency of D‐LDH1 and elevated ldhD1 mRNA levels suggest that this enzyme is essential for d‐lactate synthesis in S. inulinus YBS1‐5. The correlation between the optical purity of d‐lactate and transcription levels of ldhL1 in the case of different neutralizers indicate that ldhL1 is a key factor affecting the optical purity of d‐lactate in S. inulinus YBS1‐5.

Microb Cell Fact 2017; 16:213. [PMID: 29178877 PMCID: PMC5702109 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-017-0827-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2017] [Accepted: 11/16/2017] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Optically pure d-lactic acid (≥ 99%) is an important precursor of polylactic acid. However, there are relatively few studies on d-lactic acid fermentation compared with the extensive investigation of l-lactic acid production. Most lactic acid producers are mesophilic organisms. Optically pure d-lactic acid produced at high temperature not only could reduce the costs of sterilization but also could inhibit the growth of other bacteria, such as l-lactic acid producers. Results Thermophilic Bacillus coagulans is an excellent producer of l-lactic acid with capable of growing at 50 °C. In our previous study, the roles of two l-lactic acid dehydrogenases have been demonstrated in B. coagulans DSM1. In this study, the function of another annotated possible l-lactate dehydrogenase gene (ldhL3) was verified to be leucine dehydrogenase with an activity of 0.16 units (μmol/min) per mg protein. Furthermore, the activity of native d-lactate dehydrogenase was too low to support efficient d-lactic acid production, even under the control of strong promoter. Finally, an engineered B. coagulans D-DSM1 strain with the capacity for efficient production of d-lactic acid was constructed by deletion of two l-lactate dehydrogenases genes (ldhL1 and ldhL2) and insertion of the d-lactate dehydrogenase gene (LdldhD) from Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus DSM 20081 at the position of ldhL1. Conclusions This genetically engineered strain produced only d-lactic acid under non-sterilized condition, and finally 145 g/L of d-lactic acid was produced with an optical purity of 99.9% and a high yield of 0.98 g/g. This is the highest optically pure d-lactic acid titer produced by a thermophilic strain.
