Kim YH, Choi YK, Kim MG, Seo HS, Park S, Lee SH. Key factors for the survival of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum IDCC 3501 in manufacturing and storage. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 108:12. [PMID: 38157004 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-023-12854-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Revised: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
Functional microbiome development has steadily increased; with this, the viability of microbial strains must be maintained not only after the manufacturing process but also at the time of consumption. Survival is threatened by various unavoidable factors during freeze-drying and shelf storage. Here, the aim was to optimize the manufacturing process of the functional strain Lactiplantibacillus plantarum IDCC 3501 after freeze-drying and storage. Explosive growth was achieved using a medium composition with two nitrogen sources and a mineral, and growth was drastically improved by neutralizing the medium pH during the culture of L. plantarum IDCC 3501. Culture optimization involved a smaller cell size, leading to less intracellular free water. Moreover, when maltodextrin (MD) powder was directly added to the harvested cells, some intracellular free water was extracted from the bacterial cells, resulting in a dramatic increase in the viability of L. plantarum IDCC 3501 after freeze-drying and subsequent storage. Furthermore, MD enhanced survival in a dose-dependent manner. Bacterial survival was correlated with lysozyme tolerance; therefore, the positive result might have been caused by the osmotic dehydration of intracellular free water, which would potentially damage the bacterial cells via ice crystallization and/or a phase transition during freeze-drying. These critical factors of L. plantarum IDCC 3501 processing provide perspectives on survival issues for manufacturing microbiome strains. KEY POINTS: • Culture conditions for probiotic bacteria were optimized for high growth yield. • Osmotic dehydration improved bacterial survival after manufacturing and shelf storage. • Reduction in intracellular free water content is crucial for intact survival.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 945:174017. [PMID: 38897455 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
Schwertmannite (Sch), a typical Fe(III)-oxyhydroxysulphate mineral, is the precipitation reservoir of toxic elements in acid mine drainage (AMD). Acid-tolerant microbes in AMD can participate in the microbe-mediated transformation of Sch, while Sch affects the physiological characteristics of these acid-tolerant microbes. Based on our discovery of algae and Sch enrichment in a contaminated acid mine pit lake, we predicted the interaction between algae and Sch when incubated together. The acid-tolerant alga Graesiella sp. MA1 was isolated from the pit-lake surface water of an acidic mine and incubated with different contents of Sch. Sch was detected as the main product at the end of 81 d; however, there was a weak transformation. The presence of dissolved Fe(II) could be largely attributed to the photoreduction dissolution of Sch, which was promoted by Graesiella sp. MA1. The adaptation and growth phases of Graesiella sp. MA1 differed under Sch stress. The photosynthetic and metabolic activities increased and decreased at the adaptation and growth phases, respectively. The MDA contents and antioxidant activity of SOD, APX, and GSH in algal cells gradually enhanced as the Sch treatment content increased, indicating a defense strategy of Graesiella sp. MA1. Metabolomic analysis revealed that Sch affected the expression of significant differential metabolites in Graesiella sp. MA1. Organic carboxylic acid substances were essentially up-regulated in response to Sch stress. They were abundant in the medium-Sch system with the highest Fe(III) reduction, capable of complexing Fe(III), and underwent photochemical reactions via photo-induced charge transfer. The significant up-regulation of reducing sugars revealed the high energy requirement of Graesiella sp. MA1 under Sch stress. And first enriched KEGG pathway demonstrated the importance of sugar metabolism in Graesiella sp. MA1. Data acquired in this study provide novel insights into extreme acid stress adaptation of acid-tolerant algae and Sch, contributing to furthering understanding of AMD environments.

Abstract
To cope with environmental stresses, organisms, including lactic acid bacteria such as O. oeni, produce stress proteins called HSPs. In wine, O. oeni is constantly confronted by stress affecting its membrane fluidity. To survive through in these deleterious conditions, O. oeni synthesizes Lo18, a unique, small HSP which acts as a molecular chaperone and a lipochaperone. The molecular mechanism underlying its lipochaperone activity, particularly regarding membrane lipid composition, remains poorly understood. In this context, Lo18 lipochaperone activity and the associated modification in protein structure were studied during interaction with different liposomes from O. oeni cultures representing unstressed, stressed and stressed-adapted physiological states. The results showed that the presence of the membrane (whatever its nature) induces a modification of Lo18's structure. Also, the presence of oleic acid and/or phosphatidylglycerol is important to favor Lo18-membrane interaction, allowing lipochaperone activity. This research enhances understanding of sHSP-membrane interactions in bacterial systems.

Abstract
The cell membrane, consisting of a phospholipid bilayer, is an important defense system of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) against adverse conditions. However, this membrane gets damaged during the process of spray drying of LAB into powder. In this study, two strains of Lactobacillus bulgaricus L9-7 and L4-2-12 with significantly different survival rates of about 22.49% and 0.43% after spray drying were explored at the cell membrane level. A total of 65 significantly different lipid species were screened from the cell membranes of two strains, with cardiolipin (CL) 15:1_22:6_24:0_28:0 being the crucial lipid species affecting membrane resistance. Finally, the KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that glycerophospholipid metabolism was the most predominant pathway, and eleven lipid species were annotated, including CL. Overall, this paper provides valuable insights into enhancing the heat tolerance of LAB.

Zaręba D, Ziarno M. Tween 80™-induced changes in fatty acid profile of selected mesophilic lactobacilli. Acta Biochim Pol 2024; 71:13014. [PMID: 39027262 PMCID: PMC11254618 DOI: 10.3389/abp.2024.13014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
Fatty acid profiles are crucial for the functionality and viability of lactobacilli used in food applications. Tween 80™, a common culture media additive, is known to influence bacterial growth and composition. This study investigated how Tween 80™ supplementation impacts the fatty acid profiles of six mesophilic lactobacilli strains (Lacticaseibacillus spp., Limosilactobacillus spp., Lactiplantibacillus plantarum). Analysis of eleven strains revealed 29 distinct fatty acids. Tween 80™ supplementation significantly altered their fatty acid composition. Notably, there was a shift towards saturated fatty acids and changes within the unsaturated fatty acid profile. While some unsaturated fatty acids decreased, there was a concurrent rise in cyclic derivatives like lactobacillic acid (derived from vaccenic acid) and dihydrosterculic acid (derived from oleic acid). This suggests that despite the presence of Tween 80™ as an oleic acid source, lactobacilli prioritize the synthesis of these cyclic derivatives from precursor unsaturated fatty acids. Myristic acid and dihydrosterculic acid levels varied across strains. Interestingly, palmitic acid content increased, potentially reflecting enhanced incorporation of oleic acid from Tween 80™ into membranes. Conversely, cis-vaccenic acid levels consistently decreased across all strains. The observed fatty acid profiles differed from previous studies, likely due to a combination of factors including strain-specific variations and growth condition differences (media type, temperature, harvesting point). However, this study highlights the consistent impact of Tween 80™ on the fatty acid composition of lactobacilli, regardless of these variations. In conclusion, Tween 80™ significantly alters fatty acid profiles, influencing saturation levels and specific fatty acid proportions. This work reveals key factors, including stimulated synthesis of lactobacillic acid, competition for oleic acid incorporation, and strain-specific responses to myristic and dihydrosterculic acids. The consistent reduction in cis-vaccenic acid and the presence of cyclic derivatives warrant further investigation to elucidate their roles in response to Tween 80™ supplementation.

Cyclopropanation and membrane unsaturation improve antibiotic resistance of swarmer Pseudomonas and its sod mutants exposed to radiations, in vitro and in silico approch.

Abstract
It was known that UVc irradiation increases the reactive oxygen species' (ROS) levels in bacteria hence the intervention of antioxidant enzymes and causes also changes in fatty acids (FAs) composition enabling bacteria to face antibiotics. Here, we intended to elucidate an interrelationship between SOD and susceptibility to antibiotics by studying FA membrane composition of UVc-treated P. aeruginosa PAO1 and its isogenic mutants (sodM, sodB and sod MB) membrane, after treatment with antibiotics. Swarmer mutants defective in genes encoding superoxide dismutase were pre-exposed to UVc radiations and then tested by disk diffusion method for their contribution to antibiotic tolerance in comparison with the P. aeruginosa wild type (WT). Moreover, fatty acid composition of untreated and UVc-treated WT and sod mutants was examined by Gaz chromatography and correlated to antibiotic resistance. Firstly, it has been demonstrated that after UVc exposure, swarmer WT strain, sodM and sodB mutants remain resistant to polymixin B, a membrane target antibiotic, through membrane unsaturation supported by the intervention of Mn-SOD after short UVc exposure and cyclopropanation of unsaturated FAs supported by the action of Fe-SOD after longer UVc exposure. However, resistance for ciprofloxacin is correlated with increase in saturated FAs. This correlation has been confirmed by a molecular docking approach showing that biotin carboxylase, involved in the initial stage of FA biosynthesis, exhibits a high affinity for ciprofloxacin. This investigation has explored the correlation of antibiotic resistance with FA content of swarmer P.aeruginosa pre-exposed to UVc radiations, confirmed to be antibiotic target dependant.

Abstract
Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum are two lactic acid bacteria (LAB) widely used in the food industry. The objective of this work was to assess the resistance of these bacteria to freeze- and spray-drying and study the mechanisms involved in their loss of activity. The culturability and acidifying activity were measured to determine the specific acidifying activity, while membrane integrity was studied by flow cytometry. The glass transitions temperature and the water activity of the dried bacterial suspensions were also determined. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) micro-spectroscopy was used to study the biochemical composition of cells in an aqueous environment. All experiments were performed after freezing, drying and storage at 4, 23 and 37 °C. The results showed that Lb. bulgaricus CFL1 was sensitive to osmotic, mechanical, and thermal stresses, while Lpb. plantarum WCFS1 tolerated better the first two types of stress but was more sensitive to thermal stress. Moreover, FTIR results suggested that the sensitivity of Lb. bulgaricus CFL1 to freeze-drying could be attributed to membrane and cell wall degradation, whereas changes in nucleic acids and proteins would be responsible of heat inactivation of both strains associated with spray-drying. According to the activation energy values (47-85 kJ/mol), the functionality loss during storage is a chemically limited reaction. Still, the physical properties of the glassy matrix played a fundamental role in the rates of loss of activity and showed that a glass transition temperature 40 °C above the storage temperature is needed to reach good preservation during storage. KEY POINTS: • Specific FTIR bands are proposed as markers of osmotic, mechanic and thermal stress • Lb. bulgaricus CFL1 was sensitive to all three stresses, Lpb. plantarum WCFS1 to thermal stress only • Activation energy revealed chemically limited reactions ruled the activity loss in storage.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica is a common foodborne pathogen that poses significant safety risks across the world. And benzalkonium bromide (BK) is widely used as a disinfectant to sterilize the food processing equipment. It has been reported that sub-lethal concentration of disinfectants induced not only the homologous resistance but also cross-resistances. This work analyzed the induced resistances of Salmonella Enteritidis by short-term adaptation (STA) and long-term adaptation (LTA) to BK. We have demonstrated that inefficient sterilization exposes Salmonella Enteritidis to sub-lethal concentrations of BK, and adapts bacteria to a higher minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration. In addition, STA, but not LTA, to BK induced heterogeneous resistance to sodium hypochlorite, and cross-resistance to freezing, desiccation, and heating, which may be caused by the membrane composition change of Salmonella Enteritidis. This work could be useful to the optimization of cleaning protocol.

Abstract
Soybean whey contains high levels of off-flavors and anti-nutritional factors and is generally considered unsuitable for direct application in the food industry. In this work, to reduce beany off-flavors and anti-nutritional factors, and to improve its fermentation characteristics, soybean whey was treated with electrodialysis desalination, vacuum concentration and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation. The results showed that electrodialysis desalination increased the fermentation rate and the number of viable lactic acid bacteria of soybean whey yogurt. More than 90% of the antinutritional factor level (urease and trypsin inhibitory activity) was removed due to high-temperature denaturation inactivation and LAB degradation. Concentrated desalted soybean whey yogurt (CDSWY) possessed larger values for firmness and consistency, and a denser network microstructure compared with undesalted yogurt. Over 90% of off-flavors including hexanal, 1-octen-3-ol and 1-octen-3-one were removed after electrodialysis desalination and concentration treatment. Meanwhile, the newly generated β-damascenone through carotenoid degradation and 2,3-butanedione improved the pleasant flavor and sensory quality of CDSWY, while the salty taste of CSWY lowered its sensory quality. This study provided a theoretical basis for better utilization of soybean whey to develop a plant-based yogurt like dairy yogurt.

Wang A, Zhong Q. Drying of probiotics to enhance the viability during preparation, storage, food application, and digestion: A review. Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2024; 23:e13287. [PMID: 38284583 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.13287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
Functional food products containing viable probiotics have become increasingly popular and demand for probiotic ingredients that maintain viability and stability during processing, storage, and gastrointestinal digestions. This has resulted in heightened research and development of powdered probiotic ingredients. The aim of this review is to overview the development of dried probiotics from upstream identification to downstream applications in food. Free probiotic bacteria are susceptible to various environmental stresses during food processing, storage, and after ingestion, necessitating additional materials and processes to preserve their activity for delivery to the colon. Various classic and emerging thermal and nonthermal drying technologies are discussed for their efficiency in preparing dehydrated probiotics, and strategies for enhancing probiotic survival after dehydration are highlighted. Both the formulation and drying technology can influence the microbiological and physical properties of powdered probiotics that are to be characterized comprehensively with various techniques. Furthermore, quality control during probiotic manufacturing and strategies of incorporating powdered probiotics into liquid and solid food products are discussed. As emerging technologies, structure-design principles to encapsulate probiotics in engineered structures and protective materials with improved survivability are highlighted. Overall, this review provides insights into formulations and drying technologies required to supplement viable and stable probiotics into functional foods, ensuring the retention of their health benefits upon consumption.

[PMID: 38188563 PMCID: PMC10768001 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1280350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Some bacteria enter the viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state to survive harsh environmental conditions and external stresses. This alters cell physiology and has implications for the food industry as some bacteria, such as lactobacilli, undergo similar changes during food processing. Methods This study aimed to investigate the transcriptomic changes of a probiotic strain, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Zhang (L. paracasei Zhang), upon transition to the VBNC state using high throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Results Bacteria were inoculated into the de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe medium and maintained at low temperature and pH to induce cell transition to the VBNC state. Cells were harvested for analysis at five stages of VBNC induction: 0, 3, 30, and 180 days after induction and 210 days when the cells entered the VBNC state. Our results showed that the expression of 2,617, 2,642, 2,577, 2,829, and 2,840 genes was altered at these five different stages. The function of differentially expressed genes (DEGs, compared to healthy cells collected at day 0) and their encoded pathways were analyzed by the Gene Ontology Consortium and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses. A total of 10 DEGs were identified in cells that entered the VBNC state: five continuously upregulated (LCAZH_0621, LCAZH_1986, LCAZH_2038, LCAZH_2040, and LCAZH_2174) and five continuously downregulated (LCAZH_0024, LCAZH_0210, LCAZH_0339, LCAZH_0621, and LCAZH_0754). Conclusions This study proposes a molecular model of the VBNC mechanism in L. paracasei Zhang, highlighting that changes in cell metabolism improve substrate utilization efficiency, thereby enhancing bacterial survival under adverse conditions. These data may be useful for improving the survival of probiotics in industrial food processing.

Abstract
Multifunctional textiles have emerged as a significant area of research due to their growing importance and diverse applications. The main requirement for these fabrics is electroconductivity, which is usually gained by incorporating conductive materials such as graphene into the textile structure. In this article, an electrochemical method was demonstrated to integrate different loadings of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) into fabrics for enhanced electrical conductivity. The process involves spray coating of graphene oxide (GO) onto the fabric, followed by in situ electrochemical reduction of GO, resulting in a coating layer of rGO nanosheets. The rGO-coated fabric exhibited exceptional Joule-heating capabilities, achieving 127 °C under a 9 V direct voltage with only 770 μg/cm2 of rGO loading. Moreover, the antibacterial properties of the rGO-coated fabric were demonstrated, showing a significant reduction rate of over 99.99% against both Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. Joule-heating and antibacterial performances of the rGO-coated fabric were investigated over eight repeated cycles, demonstrating excellent repeatability. The simplicity of the fabrication method, along with the electrothermal and antibacterial effects of the rGO-coated fabric, makes it a promising material for various practical applications.

Abstract
To cope with environmental stresses, bacteria have developed different strategies, including the production of small heat shock proteins (sHSP). All sHSPs are described for their role as molecular chaperones. Some of them, like the Lo18 protein synthesized by Oenococcus oeni, also have the particularity of acting as a lipochaperon to maintain membrane fluidity in its optimal state following cellular stresses. Lipochaperon activity is poorly characterized and very little information is available on the domains or amino-acids key to this activity. The aim in this paper is to investigate the importance at the protein structure and function level of four highly conserved residues in sHSP exhibiting lipochaperon activity. Thus, by combining in silico, in vitro and in vivo approaches the importance of three amino-acids present in the core of the protein was shown to maintain both the structure of Lo18 and its functions.

Membrane lipid composition of Carnobacterium maltaromaticum CNCM I-3298, a highly cryoresistant lactic bacterium. Chem Phys Lipids 2023; 255:105326.

Abstract
The growing consumption of fermented products has led to an increasing demand for lactic acid bacteria (LAB), especially for LAB tolerant to freezing/thawing conditions. Carnobacterium maltaromaticum is a psychrotrophic and freeze-thawing resistant lactic acid bacterium. The membrane is the primary site of damage during the cryo-preservation process and requires modulation to improve cryoresistance. However, knowledge about the membrane structure of this LAB genus is limited. We presented here the first study of the membrane lipid composition of C. maltaromaticum CNCM I-3298 including the polar heads and the fatty acid compositions of each lipid family (neutral lipids, glycolipids, phospholipids). The strain CNCM I-3298 is principally composed of glycolipids (32%) and phospholipids (55%). About 95% of glycolipids are dihexaosyldiglycerides while less than 5% are monohexaosyldiglycerides. The disaccharide chain of dihexaosyldiglycerides is composed of α-Gal(1-2)-α-Glc chain, evidenced for the first time in a LAB strain other than Lactobacillus strains. Phosphatidylglycerol is the main phospholipid (94%). All polar lipids are exceptionally rich in C18:1 (from 70% to 80%). Regarding the fatty acid composition, C. maltaromaticum CNCM I-3298 is an atypical bacterium within the genus Carnobacterium due to its high C18:1 proportion but resemble the other Carnobacterium strains as they mostly do not contain cyclic fatty acids.

Abstract
Ligilactobacillus salivarius is a lactic acid bacterium exhibiting several health benefits. However, it is sensitive to freeze-drying and storage in the dried state, thus limiting its commercial exploitation. Our objective was to identify markers of cell resistance by applying multiscale characterization to L. salivarius CECT5713 cell populations exhibiting different resistance to freeze-dried storage. Cells were produced under two different sets of production conditions differing in the culture parameters (temperature, neutralizing solution, and harvesting time) and the protective formulation composition. The culturability, membrane integrity, and cell biochemical composition assessed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) micro-spectroscopy were evaluated after freezing, freeze-drying, and subsequent storage at 37 °C. Membrane properties (fatty acid composition, membrane fluidity, and phospholipid organization), as well as matrix physical properties (glass transition temperature and water activity), were determined. The most resistant cells to freeze-dried storage exhibited the highest cyclic fatty acid content and the most rigid membrane. Freeze-drying and storage induced damage to membrane integrity, proteins, nucleic acids, and constituents of the peptidoglycan cell wall. From the FTIR spectra analysis, we propose the minimization of the variations of the 1058 and 1714 cm-1 vibration bands (that arise mainly from symmetric C-O-C stretching and CO stretching, respectively) induced by the freeze-drying process as a marker of storage stability. We confirmed that a matrix with a glass transition temperature at least 50 °C higher than the storage temperature is crucial for L. salivarius CECT5713 storage stability. In addition, this work explored promising FTIR methods for a better understanding of the protection mechanisms involved.

Abstract
Algae plays a significant role for the primary production in the oligotrophic ecosystems such as the acid mine pit lakes. Graesiella sp. MA1 was a new acid-tolerant photosynthetic protist isolated from an acid mine pit lake. To understand the acid responses of Graesiella sp. MA1, its physiological changes and metabolomics were studied during long-term acid stress. Photosynthetic pigments, soluble proteins, and antioxidant systems of Graesiella sp. MA1 cells displayed two phases, the adaptation phase and the growth phase. During the adaptation phase, both photosynthetic pigments and soluble proteins were inhibited, while antioxidant activity of SOD, APX, and GSH were promoted to response to the organism's damage. Metabolomics results revealed lipids and organic acids were abundant components in Graesiella sp. MA1 cells. In response to acid stress, the levels of acid-dependent resistant amino acids, including glutamate, aspartate, arginine, proline, lysine, and histidine, accumulated continuously to maintain orderly intracellular metabolic processes. In addition, fatty acids were mainly unsaturated, which could improve the fluidity of the cell membranes under acid stress. Metabolomic and physiological changes showed that Graesiella sp. MA1 had tolerance during long-term acid stress and the potential to be used as a bioremediation strain for the acidic wastewater.

Abstract
The mechanism underlying antimicrobial activity of conjugated bile acids against strains of lactic acid bacilli is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate two typical conjugated bile acids (glycochenodeoxycholic acid and taurochenodeoxycholic acid) for their mechanisms of antimicrobial activity against four strains of different species of lactic acid bacilli at the physiological pH of the small intestine of humans. The bacterial cell membrane integrity, transmembrane potential, and transmembrane pH gradient were examined using the fluorescence probes SYTO 9 plus propidium iodide, 3,3'-dipropylthiadicarbocyanine iodide, and 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein diacetate N-succinimidyl ester, respectively. The intracellular ATP levels were measured by the firefly luciferase-based bioluminescence method. It was found that the antimicrobial activity of conjugated bile acids against the strains of lactic acid bacilli is strain-specific, and glycochenodeoxycholic acid showed significantly greater antimicrobial activity than taurochenodeoxycholic acid against the strains of lactic acid bacilli. The conjugated bile acids inhibited the growth of strains of lactic acid bacilli by disrupting membrane integrity, dissipating transmembrane potential, reducing the transmembrane pH gradient, and depleting intracellular ATP. In conclusion, the antimicrobial activity of conjugated bile acids against lactic acid bacilli is a multifactorial phenomenon. This study will provide valuable information for developing strategies to improve the ability of lactic acid bacilli to tolerate bile in vivo.

Abstract
In the study, we investigated the different compositions of biochar-derived dissolved organic matter (BDOM) that play a key role in the biodegradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and chloramphenicol (CAP) by P. stutzeri and S. putrefaciens, and found that aliphatic compounds in Group 4, fulvic acid like in Region III, and solid microbial byproduct like in region IV are key common factors. The growth and antibiotic degradation efficiency of P. stutzeri and S. putrefaciens are positively correlated with the content of Group 4 and Region III, and negatively correlated with Region IV. This is consistent with the optimal biodegradation results of BDOM700 with the highest content of Group 4 and Region III. Additionally, the degradation efficiency of SMX by Pseudomonas stutzeri is negatively correlated with the percentage of polycyclic aromatics in Group 1, but not with CAP. Similarly, the percentage of fatty acids in S. putrefaciens was positively correlated with Group 1, whereas P. stutzeri did not. This indicates that some components of BDOM have varying effects on different bacteria or types of antibiotics. This study provides new insights into enhancing antibiotic biodegradation by controlling the composition of BDOM.

Abstract
Microbial lipids are considered promising and environmentally friendly substitutes for fossil fuels and plant-derived oils. They alleviate the depletion of limited petroleum storage and the decrement of arable lands resulting from the greenhouse effect. Microbial lipids derived from oleaginous yeasts provide fatty acid profiles similar to plant-derived oils, which are considered as sustainable and alternative feedstocks for use in the biofuel, cosmetics, and food industries. Rhodotorula toruloides is an intriguing oleaginous yeast strain that can accumulate more than 70% of its dry biomass as lipid content. It can utilize a wide range of substrates, including low-cost sugars and industrial waste. It is also robust against various industrial inhibitors. However, precise control of the fatty acid profile of the lipids produced by R. toruloides is essential for broadening its biotechnological applications. This mini-review describes recent progress in identifying fatty synthesis pathways and consolidated strategies used for specific fatty acid-rich lipid production via metabolic engineering, strain domestication. In addition, this mini-review summarized the effects of culture conditions on fatty acid profiles in R. toruloides. The perspectives and constraints of harnessing R. toruloides for tailored lipid production are also discussed in this mini-review.

[PMID: 37358810 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-023-12640-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/27/2023]
Abstract
Menaquinone-7 is a form of vitamin K2 that has been shown to have numerous healthy benefits. In this study, several surfactants were investigated to enhance the production of menaquinone-7 in Bacillus natto. Results showed that Brij-58 supplementation influenced the cell membrane via adsorption, and changed the interfacial tension of fermentation broth, while the changes in the state and the composition of the cell membrane enhanced the secretion and biosynthesis of menaquinone-7. The total production and secretion rate of menaquinone-7 increased by 48.0% and 56.2% respectively. During fermentation, the integrity of the cell membrane decreased by 82.9% while the permeability increased by 158% when the maximum secretory rate was reached. Furthermore, Brij-58 supplementation induced the stress response in bacteria, resulting in hyperpolarization of the membrane, and increased membrane ATPase activity. Finally, changes in fatty acid composition increased membrane fluidity by 30.1%. This study provided an effective strategy to enhance menaquinone-7 yield in Bacillus natto and revealed the mechanism of Brij-58 supplementation in menaquinone-7 production. KEY POINTS: • MK-7 yield in Bacillus natto was significantly increased by Brij-58 supplementation. • Brij-58 could be adsorbed on cell surface and change fermentation environment. • Brij-58 supplementation could affect the state and composition of the cell membrane.

Stress response and signalling of a low-temperature bioaugmentation system in decentralized wastewater treatment: Degradation characteristics, community structure, and bioaugmented mechanisms. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 342:118257.

Abstract
Low temperatures present challenges for stable wastewater treatment operations in cold regions. Low-temperature effective microorganisms (LTEM) were added as a bioaugmentation strategy at a decentralized treatment facility to improve performance. The effects of a low-temperature bioaugmentation system (LTBS) with LTEM at low temperatures (4 °C) on organic pollutant performance, microbial community changes, and the metabolic pathways of functional genes and functional enzymes were studied. To explore the bioaugmentation mechanism of LTBS based on stress response and signalling. The results showed that the start-up time of the LTBS (S2) with LTEM was shorter (8 days) and that it removed COD and NH4+-N at higher rates (87 % and 72 %, respectively) at 4 °C. LTEM effectively degraded complex macromolecular organics into small molecular organics, and decomposing sludge flocs and the changing the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) structure removed more organics and nitrogen. LTEM and local microbial communities (nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria) improved the ability of organic matter degradation and denitrification of the LTBS and formed a core microbial community dominated by LTEM (Bacillus and Pseudomonas). Finally, based on the functional enzymes and metabolic pathways of the LTBS, a low-temperature strengthening mechanism consisting of 6 cold stress responses and signal pathways under low temperatures was formed. This study demonstrated that the LTEM-dominated LTBS could provide an engineering alternative for future decentralized wastewater treatment in cold regions.

Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria severely threaten human health. Traditional Chinese herbs are potential sources of new or alternative medicine. In this study, we analyzed for the first time antibacterial substances in the methanol-phase extract from a traditional Chinese herb-Commelina communis Linn-which showed an inhibition rate of 58.33% against 24 species of common pathogenic bacteria. The extract was further purified using preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (Prep-HPLC), which generated four single fragments (Fragments 1 to 4). The results revealed that Fragment 1 significantly increased bacterial cell surface hydrophobicity and membrane permeability and decreased membrane fluidity, showing disruptive effects on cell integrity of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, such as Bacillus cereus, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella enterica subsp., compared to the control groups (p < 0.05). In sum, 65 compounds with known functions in Fragment 1 were identified using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS), of which quercetin-3-o-glucuronide was predominant (19.35%). Comparative transcriptomic analysis revealed multiple altered metabolic pathways mediated by Fragment 1, such as inhibited ABC transporters, ribosome, citrate cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, and upregulated nitrogen metabolism and purine metabolism, thereby resulting in the repressed bacterial growth and even death (p < 0.05). Overall, the results of this study demonstrate that Fragment 1 from C. communis Linn is a promising candidate against common pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
Introduction: Rhamnolipids (RLs) are secondary metabolites naturally produced by bacteria of the genera Pseudomonas and Burkholderia with biosurfactant properties. A specific interest raised from their potential as biocontrol agents for crop culture protection in regard to direct antifungal and elicitor activities. As for other amphiphilic compounds, a direct interaction with membrane lipids has been suggested as the key feature for the perception and subsequent activity of RLs. Methods: Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are used in this work to provide an atomistic description of their interactions with different membranous lipids and focusing on their antifungal properties. Results and discussion: Our results suggest the insertion of RLs into the modelled bilayers just below the plane drawn by lipid phosphate groups, a placement that is effective in promoting significant membrane fluidification of the hydrophobic core. This localization is promoted by the formation of ionic bonds between the carboxylate group of RLs and the amino group of the phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) or phosphatidylserine (PS) headgroups. Moreover, RL acyl chains adhere to the ergosterol structure, forming a significantly higher number of van der Waals contact with respect to what is observed for phospholipid acyl chains. All these interactions might be essential for the membranotropic-driven biological actions of RLs.

Abstract
The physiological effects of oxygen on Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 during cultivation and the ensuing properties of the freeze-dried probiotic product was investigated. On-line flow cytometry and k-means clustering gating was used to follow growth and viability in real time during cultivation. The bacterium tolerated aeration at 500 mL/min, with a growth rate of 0.74 ± 0.13 h-1 which demonstrated that low levels of oxygen did not influence the growth kinetics of the bacterium. Modulation of the redox metabolism was, however, seen already at non-inhibitory oxygen levels by 1.5-fold higher production of acetate and 1.5-fold lower ethanol production. A significantly higher survival rate in the freeze-dried product was observed for cells cultivated in presence of oxygen compared to absence of oxygen (61.8% ± 2.4% vs. 11.5% ± 4.3%), coinciding with a higher degree of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA:SFA ratio of 10 for air sparged vs. 3.59 for N2 sparged conditions.). Oxygen also resulted in improved bile tolerance and boosted 5'nucleotidase activity (370 U/L vs. 240 U/L in N2 sparged conditions) but lower tolerance to acidic conditions compared bacteria grown under complete anaerobic conditions which survived up to 90 min of exposure at pH 2. Overall, our results indicate the controlled supply of oxygen during production may be used as means for probiotic activity optimization of L. reuteri DSM 17938.

Abstract
Freezing is widely used for bacterial cell preservation. However, resistance to freezing can greatly vary depending on bacterial species or growth conditions. Our study aims at identifying cellular markers of cryoresistance based on the comparison of three lactic acid bacteria (LAB) exhibiting different tolerance to freezing: Carnobacterium maltaromaticum CNCM I-3298, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus ATCC 11842, and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus CFL1. A thorough characterization of their cytoplasmic membrane properties was carried out by measuring their fatty acid composition, membrane fluidity, and lipid phase transition upon cooling from 50 to -50 °C. Vitrification temperatures of the intra- and extra-cellular compartments were also quantified by differential scanning calorimetry. Additionally, the cell biochemical characterization was carried out using a recently developed Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) micro-spectroscopic approach allowing the analysis of live bacteria in an aqueous environment. The multivariate analysis of the FTIR spectra of fresh and thawed cells enabled the discrimination of the three bacteria according to their lipid, protein, and cell wall peptidoglycan components. It also revealed freezing-induced modifications of these three cellular components and an increase in bacteria heterogeneity for the two strains of L. bulgaricus, the freeze-sensitive bacteria. No cellular damage was observed for C. maltaromaticum, the freeze-resistant bacteria. Comparison of the results obtained from the different analytical methods confirmed previously reported cryoresistance markers and suggested new ones, such as changes in the absorbance of specific infrared spectral bands. FTIR microspectroscopy could be used as a rapid and non-invasive technique to evaluate the freeze-sensitivity of LAB.

Abstract
Ligilactobacillus salivarius is a lactic acid bacteria that has been gaining attention as a promising probiotic. Numerous strains exhibit functional properties with health benefits such as antimicrobial activity, immunological effects, and the ability to modulate the intestinal microbiota. However, just a small number of them are manufactured at an industrial scale and included in commercial products. The under exploitation of L. salivarius strains that remain in the freezer of companies is due to their incapacity to overcome the environmental stresses induced by production and stabilization processes.The present study summarizes the functionalities and applications of L. salivarius reported to date. It aims also at providing a critical evaluation of the literature available on the manufacturing steps of L. salivarius concentrates, the bacterial quality after each step of the process, and the putative degradation and preservation mechanisms. Here, we highlight the principal issues and future research challenges for improving the production and long-term preservation at the industrial scale of this microorganism, and probably of other probiotics.Key points• L. salivarius beneficial properties and commercialized products.• Production conditions and viability of L. salivarius after stabilization processes.• Prospects for identifying preservation mechanisms to improve L. salivarius stability.

Abstract
Optimisation of cultivation conditions in the industrial production of probiotics is crucial to reach a high-quality product with retained probiotic functionality. Flow cytometry-based descriptors of bacterial morphology may be used as markers to estimate physiological fitness during cultivation, and can be applied for online monitoring to avoid suboptimal growth. In the current study, the effects of temperature, initial pH and oxygen levels on cell growth and cell size distributions of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 were measured using multivariate flow cytometry. A pleomorphic behaviour was evident from the measurements of light scatter and pulse width distributions. A pattern of high growth yielding smaller cells and less heterogeneous populations could be observed. Analysis of pulse width distributions revealed significant morphological heterogeneities within the bacterial cell population under non-optimal growth conditions, and pointed towards low temperature, high initial pH, and high oxygen levels all being triggers for changes in morphology towards cell chain formation. However, cell size did not correlate to survivability after freeze-thaw or freeze-drying stress, indicating that it is not a key determinant for physical stress tolerance. The fact that L. reuteri morphology varies depending on cultivation conditions suggests that it can be used as marker for estimating physiological fitness and responses to its environment.

Food Microbiol 2021; 102:103905. [PMID: 34809937 DOI: 10.1016/j.fm.2021.103905] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2021] [Revised: 09/13/2021] [Accepted: 09/15/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acid stress is one of the most important environmental stresses that adversely affect the growth of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), such as Oenococcus oeni which was isolated from grape-berries and mainly used in wine fermentation. The aim of this paper is to comprehensively characterize the mechanisms of acid stress regulation in O. oeni and to provide a viable theoretical basis for breed and improvement of existing LAB. METHOD First, six O. oeni mutants with acid-sensitive (strains b2, a1, c2) and acid-tolerant (strains b1, a3, c1) phenotypes were screened from three wild-type O. oeni, and then their genome (sequencing), transcriptome and metabolome (LC-MS/MS) were examined. RESULTS A total of 459 genes were identified with one or more intragenic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these mutants, and were extensively involved in metabolism and cellular functions with a high mutation rates in purine (46%) and pyrimidine (48%) metabolic pathways. There were 210 mutated genes that cause significant changes in expression levels. In addition, 446 differentially accumulated metabolites were detected, and they were consistently detected at relatively high levels in the acid-tolerant O. oeni mutant. The levels of intracellular differentially expressed genes and differential metabolites changed with increasing culture time. CONCLUSION The integrative pathways analysis showed that the intracellular response associated with acid regulation differed significantly between acid-sensitive and acid-tolerant O. oeni mutants, and also changed at different growth stages.

Abstract
In bacteria, exposure to changes in environmental conditions can alter membrane fluidity, thereby affecting its essential functions in cell physiology. To adapt to these changes, bacteria maintain appropriate fluidity by varying the composition of the fatty acids of membrane phospholipids, a phenomenon known as homeophasic adaptation. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, this response is achieved mainly by two mechanisms of fatty acid desaturation: the FabA-FabB and DesA-DesB systems. This study analyzed the effect of ultraviolet-A (UVA) radiation-the major fraction of solar UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface-on the homeophasic process. The prototypical strain PAO1 was grown under sublethal UVA doses or in the dark, and the profiles of membrane fatty acids were compared at early logarithmic, logarithmic and stationary growth phases. In the logarithmic growth phase, it was observed that growth under sublethal UVA doses induced the expression of the desaturase-encoding genes desA and desB and increased the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids; in addition, membrane fluidity could also increase, as suggested by the indices used as indicators of this parameter. The opposite effect was observed in the stationary growth phase. These results demonstrate the relevant role of UVA on the homeophasic response at transcriptional level.

Abstract
Metabolic reprogramming is crucial for the adaptation to environmental temperature stress. It is generally accepted that fatty acid (FA) desaturation is suppressed at high temperature, which decreases the ratio of unsaturated FAs to saturated FAs (UFAs/SFAs) to maintain the fluidity of cell membranes and favor cellular survival. Here by working in C. elegans, we found that FA desaturation is essential for longevity in response to temperature upshift at the organismal level, opposite to its role in cellular survival. High temperature unexpectedly increases the contents of total fat and multiple UFA species. Specifically, monounsaturated oleic acid (OA) is required for animal survival at high temperature. Mechanistic study showed that OA acts through HSF-1, which in turn promotes histone acetylation as well as the expression of defense genes that are crucial for longevity at high temperature. Together, our findings reveal an unprecedented role for FA desaturation in organismal fitness to temperature upshift, and implicate divergent metabolic requirements between cellular and organismal survival upon temperature stress.

Dabigatran Etexilate Induces Cytotoxicity in Rat Gastric Epithelial Cell Line via Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species Production. Cells 2021; 10:cells10102508.

Abstract
Dabigatran is a novel oral anticoagulant that directly inhibits free and fibrin-bound thrombins and exerts rapid and predictable anticoagulant effects. While the use of this reagent has been associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, the reason why dabigatran use increases gastrointestinal bleeding risk remains unknown. We investigated the cytotoxicity of dabigatran etexilate and tartaric acid, the two primary components of dabigatran. The cytotoxicity of dabigatran etexilate and tartaric acid was measured in a cell viability assay. Intracellular mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mitROS) production and lipid peroxidation were measured using fluorescence dyes. Cell membrane viscosity was measured using atomic force microscopy. The potential of ascorbic acid as an inhibitor of dabigatran cytotoxicity was also evaluated. The cytotoxicity of dabigatran etexilate was higher than that of tartaric acid. Dabigatran etexilate induced mitROS production and lipid peroxidation and altered the cell membrane viscosity. Ascorbic acid inhibited the cytotoxicity and mitROS production induced by dabigatran etexilate. Therefore, we attributed the cytotoxicity of dabigatran to dabigatran etexilate, and proposed that the cytotoxic effects of dabigatran etexilate are mediated via mitROS production. Additionally, we demonstrated that dabigatran cytotoxicity can be prevented via antioxidant treatment.

Development of a Novel Restrictive Medium for Monascus Enrichment From Hongqu Based on the Synergistic Stress of Lactic Acid and Ethanol. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:702951.

Abstract
Hongqu is a famous fermented food produced by Monascus and has been used as food coloring, wine starters and food additives for thousands of years in China. Excellent Monascus strain is an important prerequisite for producing high-quality Hongqu. However, the isolation of Monascus pure culture from Hongqu samples is time-consuming and laborious because it is easily interfered by other microorganisms (especially filamentous fungi). Therefore, the development of restrictive medium for Monascus enrichment from Hongqu is of great significance for the preparation and screening of excellent Monascus strains. Results of this study showed that Monascus has good tolerance to lactic acid and ethanol. Under the conditions of tolerance limits [7.5% lactic acid (v/v) and 12.0% ethanol (v/v)], Monascus could not grow but it still retained the vitality of spore germination, and the spore activity gradually decreased with the increasing concentrations of lactic acid and ethanol. More interestingly, the addition of lactic acid and ethanol significantly changed the microbial community structure in rice milk inoculated with Hongqu. After response surface optimization, Monascus could be successfully enriched without the interference of other microorganisms when 3.98% (v/v) lactic acid and 6.24% (v/v) ethanol were added to rice milk simultaneously. The optimal enrichment duration of Monascus by the restrictive medium based on the synergistic stress of lactic acid and ethanol is 8∼24 h. The synergistic stress of lactic acid and ethanol had no obvious effects on the accumulation of major metabolites in the progeny of Monascus, and was suitable for the enrichment of Monascus from different types of Hongqu. Finally, the possible mechanisms on the tolerance of Monascus to the synergistic stress of lactic acid and ethanol were preliminarily studied. Under the synergistic stress of lactic acid and ethanol, the cell membrane of Monascus defends against lactic acid and ethanol into cells to some extent, and the superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities of Monascus were higher than those of other fungi, which significantly reduced the degree of lipid peroxidation of cell membrane, while secreting more amylase to make reducing sugars to provide the cells with enough energy to resist environmental stress. This work has great application value for the construction of Monascus strain library and the better development of its germplasm resources.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During winemaking, malolactic fermentation (MLF) is usually induced by Oenococcus oeni owing to its high resistance to wine stress factors. To ensure a controlled and efficient MLF process, starter cultures are inoculated in wine. In previous studies, O. oeni strains with sub-lethal acid or ethanol stresses showed higher freeze-drying vitality and better MLF performance. To explore the mechanisms involved, influences of acid and ethanol stresses on O. oeni SD-2a were investigated in this study to gain a better understanding of the cross-protection responses. RESULTS The results showed that acid and ethanol stresses both caused damage to cell membranes and decreased cellular adenosine triphosphate concentration. At the same time, acid stress increased the uptake of glutathione, while ethanol stress led to cell depolarization. The results of comparative proteomic analysis highlighted that heat shock protein was induced with almost all acid and ethanol stresses. In addition, the expression of stress-relevant genes (hsp20, clpP, trxA, ctsR, recO, usp) increased greatly with ethanol and acid stress treatments. Finally, the viability of O. oeni was improved with acid and ethanol pretreatments after freeze-drying. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that acid and ethanol stresses had mixed influences on O. oeni SD-2a. Some physiological and molecular changes would contribute to a more stress-tolerant state of O. oeni, thereby improving the viability of lyophilized cells. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Butanol inhibits bacterial activity by destroying the cell membrane of Clostridium acetobutylicum strains and altering functionality. Butanol toxicity also results in destruction of the phosphoenolpyruvate-carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS), thereby preventing glucose transport and phosphorylation and inhibiting transmembrane transport and assimilation of sugars, amino acids, and other nutrients. In this study, based on the addition of exogenous butanol, the tangible macro indicators of changes in the carbon ion beam irradiation-mutant Y217 morphology were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The mutant has lower microbial adhesion to hydrocarbon (MATH) value than C. acetobutylicum ATCC 824 strain. FDA fluorescence intensity and conductivity studies demonstrated the intrinsically low membrane permeability of the mutant membrane, with membrane potential remaining relatively stable. Monounsaturated FAs (MUFAs) accounted for 35.17% of the mutant membrane, and the saturated fatty acids (SFA)/unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) ratio in the mutant cell membrane was 1.65. In addition, we conducted DNA-level analysis of the mutant strain Y217. Expectedly, through screening, we found gene mutant sites encoding membrane-related functions in the mutant, including ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter-related genes, predicted membrane proteins, and the PTS transport system. It is noteworthy that an unreported predicted membrane protein (CAC 3309) may be related to changes in mutant cell membrane properties. KEY POINTS: • Mutant Y217 exhibited better membrane integrity and permeability. • Mutant Y217 was more resistant to butanol toxicity. • Some membrane-related genes of mutant Y217 were mutated.

Abstract
Currently, the main role of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) in wine is to conduct the malolactic fermentation (MLF). This process can increase wine aroma and mouthfeel, improve microbial stability and reduce the acidity of wine. A growing number of studies support the appreciation that LAB can also significantly, positively and negatively, contribute to the sensorial profile of wine through many different enzymatic pathways. This is achieved either through the synthesis of compounds such as diacetyl and esters or by liberating bound aroma compounds such as glycoside-bound primary aromas and volatile thiols which are odorless in their bound form. LAB can also liberate hydroxycinnamic acids from their tartaric esters and have the potential to break down anthocyanin glucosides, thus impacting wine color. LAB can also produce enzymes with the potential to help in the winemaking process and contribute to stabilizing the final product. For example, LAB exhibit peptidolytic and proteolytic activity that could break down the proteins causing wine haze, potentially reducing the need for bentonite addition. Other potential contributions include pectinolytic activity, which could aid juice clarification and the ability to break down acetaldehyde, even when bound to SO2, reducing the need for SO2 additions during winemaking. Considering all these findings, this review summarizes the novel enzymatic activities of LAB that positively or negatively affect the quality of wine. Inoculation strategies, LAB improvement strategies, their potential to be used as targeted additions, and technological advances involving their use in wine are highlighted along with suggestions for future research.

Abstract
Freeze-drying or lyophilization has become a reference process for preserving lactic acid bacteria. The development of stable freeze-dried lactic acid bacteria (LAB) requires maintaining the biological activity of the cells and the macroscopic porous structure while increasing the efficiency of the manufacturing process. Physical properties of protective solutions, such as glass transition and collapse temperatures, are key elements not only for process optimization but also for the stability of freeze-dried LAB. This chapter provides a stepwise approach for developing a protective formulation for the long-term preservation of LAB and an efficient freeze-drying process. Methods for determining glass transition and collapse temperatures of protective solutions and cell suspensions, as well as water activity and water content of freeze-dried products, are described.

Abstract
Effects of chemical structure, concentration, and pH on antimicrobial activity of conjugated bile acids were investigated in 4 strains of lactobacilli. Considerable differences were observed in the antimicrobial activity between the 6 human conjugated bile acids, including glycocholic acid, taurocholic acid, glycodeoxycholic acid, taurodeoxycholic acid, glycochenodeoxycholic acid, and taurochenodeoxycholic acid. Glycodeoxycholic acid and glycochenodeoxycholic acid generally showed significantly higher antimicrobial activity against the lactobacilli, but glycocholic acid and taurocholic acid exhibited the significantly lower antimicrobial activity. Glycochenodeoxycholic acid was selected for further analysis, and the results showed its antimicrobial activity was concentration-dependent, and there was a significantly negative linear correlation (R2 > 0.98) between bile-antimicrobial index and logarithmic concentration of the bile acid for each strain of lactobacilli. Additionally, the antimicrobial activity of glycochenodeoxycholic acid was also observed to be pH-dependent, and it was significantly enhanced with the decreasing pH, with the result that all the strains of lactobacilli were unable to grow at pH 5.0. In conclusion, chemical structure, concentration, and pH are key factors influencing antimicrobial activity of conjugated bile acids against lactobacilli. This study provides theoretical guidance and technology support for developing a scientific method for evaluating the bile tolerance ability of potentially probiotic strains of lactobacilli.

Abstract
Analysis by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to characterize the lipid profile of 3 lactic acid bacteria strains. By gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, 23 fatty acids were identified. Dominant acids were palmitic (C16:0), oleic (C18:1), and α-linoleic acid (C18:3n-3) for Lactobacillus paracasei; for Lactococcus lactis they were palmitic (C16:0), gondoic (C20:1), myristoleic (C14:1), and eicosadienoic acid (C20:2), respectively; and in the case of Lactobacillus curvatus were C18:1, C18:2n-6, and C16:0, respectively. The effect of the medium on fatty acid composition was also determined. In addition, the fatty acid profile was also compared using MALDI MS analysis. The MALDI-TOF MS was used for qualitative analysis and identification of bacterial lipids. Phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylcholine, triacylglycerols, and ceramides were the most abundant species in lactic acid bacteria. One hundred different combinations of fatty acids in polar and nonpolar lipids have been identified, including 11 phospholipids (18 phosphatidylglycerol, 16 phosphatidylethanolamine, 10 phosphatidylinositol, 8 phosphatidylcholine, 4 lyso-phosphatidylethanolamine, 3 lyso-phosphatidylcholine, 3 phosphatidylserine, 1 lyso-phosphatidic acid, 1 lyso-phosphatidylglycerol, 1 lyso-phoshatidylinositol, and 1 phosphatidic acid), 23 triacylglycerols, 9 ceramides, and 2 sphingomyelin. The most abundant fatty acids identified were C16:0, C16:1, C18:0, and C18:3. Obtained lipid profiles allowed to distinguish the tested bacterial strains.

Abstract
Pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment can be used to increase intracellular small molecule concentrations in bacteria, which can lead to enhanced robustness of these cells during further processing. In this study we investigated the effects of the PEF treatment temperature and the presence of 8% (v/v) ethanol in the PEF medium on cell survival, membrane fluidity and intracellular trehalose concentrations of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1. A moderate PEF treatment temperature of 21 °C resulted in a high cell survival combined with higher intracellular trehalose concentrations compared to a treatment at 10 and 35 °C. Interestingly, highest intracellular trehalose concentrations were observed upon supplementing the PEF medium with 8% ethanol, which resulted in more than a doubling in intracellular trehalose concentrations, while culture survival was retained. Overall, this study shows that treatment temperature and PEF medium optimization are important directions for improving molecule uptake upon PEF processing.

Abstract
Increasing knowledge about lactic acid bacteria as fermentation starters and probiotics to improve health has led to a growing awareness of their application potential. Despite a long history of applying cryoprotectants, the maintenance of probiotic viability is still a major challenge. In this study, we implemented a strategy and explored its mechanisms in detail. We found that the survival rates after freeze-drying were positively correlated with the relative concentration of the octadecenoic acid (C18:1) and with the ratio of unsaturated to saturated FAs (U/S ratio). The addition of C18:1 significantly improved the survival of L. plantarum after freeze-drying. Contrary to the most commonly used cryoprotectants, the addition of C18:1 did not affect the glass transition temperature or collapse temperature. We predicted that the cell membrane characteristics would be significantly degraded during the drying stage, but C18:1 can effectively maintain the cell membrane integrity and fluidity. Our experiments confirmed those predictions, and simultaneously found that the enzyme activities of key enzymes of glucose metabolism were increased compared with the control group. These finding indicate that C18:1 might serve as a lyoprotectant to maintain the cell membrane integrity and fluidity, and thereby increasing the survival rate of L. plantarum after freeze-drying. This study constitutes a strategy to safeguard bacterial viability.
