Abstract
Foodborne pathogens and their biofilms pose a risk to human health through food chain. However, the bacteriocin resources combating this threat are still limited. Here, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, one of the most used probiotics in food industry, was prepared on a large scale using alternating tangential flow (ATF) perfusion-based technology. Compared to the conventional fed-batch approach, ATF perfusion remarkably increased the viable cells of L. rhamnosus CLK 101 to 11.93 ± 0.14 log CFU/mL. Based on obtained viable cells, we purified and characterized a novel bacteriocin CLK_01 with a broad spectrum of activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative foodborne pathogens. LC-MS/MS analysis revealed that CLK_01 has a molecular mass of 701.49 Da and a hydrophobic amino acid composition of I-K-K-V-T-I. As a novel bacteriocin, CLK_01 showed high thermal stability and acid-base tolerance over 25-121 °C and pH 2-10. It significantly reduced cell viability of bacterial pathogens (p < 0.001), and strongly inhibited their biofilm formation. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated deformation of pathogenic cells caused by CLK_01, leading to cytoplasmic content leakage and bacterial death. Summarily, we employed ATF perfusion to obtain viable L. rhamnosus, and presented that bacteriocin CLK_01 could serve as a promising biopreservative for controlling foodborne pathogenic bacteria and their biofilms.

Abstract
Propionic acid (PA) is a carboxylic acid applied in a variety of processes, such as food and feed preservative, and as a chemical intermediate in the production of polymers, pesticides and drugs. PA production is predominantly performed by petrochemical routes, but environmental issues are making it necessary to use sustainable processes based on renewable materials. PA production by fermentation with the Propionibacterium genus is a promising option in this scenario, due to the ability of this genus to consume a variety of renewable carbon sources with higher productivity than other native microorganisms. However, Propionibacterium fermentation processes present important challenges that must be faced to make this route competitive, such as: a high fermentation time, product inhibition and low PA final titer, which increase the cost of product recovery. This article summarizes the state of the art regarding strategies to improve PA production by fermentation with the Propionibacterium genus. Firstly, strategies associated with environmental fermentation conditions and nutrition requirements are discussed. Subsequently, advantages and disadvantages of various strategies proposed to improve process performance (high cell concentration by immobilization or recycle, co-culture fermentation, genome shuffling, evolutive and metabolic engineering, and in situ recovery) are evaluated.

Autotrophic lactate production from H2 + CO2 using recombinant and fluorescent FAST-tagged Acetobacterium woodii strains. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 106:1447-1458. [PMID: 35092454 PMCID: PMC8882112 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-022-11770-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2021] [Revised: 12/23/2021] [Accepted: 01/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
AbstractLactate has various uses as industrial platform chemical, poly-lactic acid precursor or feedstock for anaerobic co-cultivations. The aim of this study was to construct and characterise Acetobacterium woodii strains capable of autotrophic lactate production. Therefore, the lctBCD genes, encoding the native Lct dehydrogenase complex, responsible for lactate consumption, were knocked out. Subsequently, a gene encoding a d-lactate dehydrogenase (LDHD) originating from Leuconostoc mesenteroides was expressed in A. woodii, either under the control of the anhydrotetracycline-inducible promoter Ptet or under the lactose-inducible promoter PbgaL. Moreover, LDHD was N-terminally fused to the oxygen-independent fluorescence-activating and absorption-shifting tag (FAST) and expressed in respective A. woodii strains. Cells that produced the LDHD fusion protein were capable of lactate production of up to 18.8 mM in autotrophic batch experiments using H2 + CO2 as energy and carbon source. Furthermore, cells showed a clear and bright fluorescence during exponential growth, as well as in the stationary phase after induction, mediated by the N-terminal FAST. Flow cytometry at the single-cell level revealed phenotypic heterogeneities for cells expressing the FAST-tagged LDHD fusion protein. This study shows that FAST provides a new reporter tool to quickly analyze gene expression over the course of growth experiments of A. woodii. Consequently, fluorescence-based reporters allow for faster and more targeted optimization of production strains.Key points
•Autotrophic lactate production was achieved with A. woodii.
•FAST functions as fluorescent marker protein in A. woodii.
•Fluorescence measurements on single-cell level revealed population heterogeneity.

Abstract
During the past years, there has been a growing interest in the bioproduction of propionic acid by Propionibacterium. One of the major limitations of the existing models lies in their low productivity yield. Hence, many strategies have been proposed in order to circumvent this obstacle. This article provides a comprehensive synthesis and review of important biotechnological aspects of propionic acid production as a common ingredient in food and biotechnology industries. We first discuss some of the most important production processes, mainly focusing on biological production. Then, we provide a summary of important propionic acid producers, including Propionibacterium freudenreichii and Propionibacterium acidipropionici, as well as a wide range of reported growth/production media. Furthermore, we describe bioprocess variables that can have impact on the production yield. Finally, we propose methods for the extraction and analysis of propionic acid and put forward strategies for overcoming the limitations of competitive microbial production from the economical point of view. Several factors influence the propionic acid concentration and productivity such as culture conditions, type and bioreactor scale; however, the pH value and temperature are the most important ones. Given that there are many reports about propionic acid production from glucose, whey permeate, glycerol, lactic acid, hemicelluloses, hydrolyzed corn meal, lactose, sugarcane molasses and enzymatically hydrolyzed whole wheat flour, only few review articles evaluate biotechnological aspects, i.e. bioprocess variables.
