Isolation and characterization of Lactobacillus casei A14.2, a strain with immunomodulating activity on Apis mellifera. Saudi J Biol Sci 2023; 30:103612. [PMID: 36936701 PMCID: PMC10020679 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2023.103612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2022] [Revised: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Considering the economic and environmental role played by bees and their present threats it is necessary to develop food supplements favoring their health. The aim of this work was to isolate and characterize an immunomodulating probiotic capable to improve the health of honeybee colonies. For this purpose, bacterial strains were isolated from Apis mellifera bees (N = 180) obtained at three apiaries. A total of 44 strains were isolated and 9 of them were identified as Lactobacillus having the capacity to grow under saccharose osmotic stress, at pH 4.0 and possessing a wide susceptibility to antibiotics. Results allowed to select two strains but finally only one of them, strain A14.2 showed a very significant immunomodulating activity. This strain increased the expression of mRNA codifying the antimicrobial peptides 24 h post-administration. We evaluated its growth kinetics under aerobic and microaerobic conditions and its survival in the presence of high concentrations of saccharose. Results demonstrated that Lactobacillus casei A14.2 strain was highly tolerant to oxygen and that it was able to adapt to saccharose enriched environments (50% and 100% w/v). Finally, L. casei A14.2 strain was administered monthly during summer and early fall to 4 honeybee colonies (2 controls and 2 treatments). The results showed a gradual sustained decrease of infestation (p < 0.05) by the pathogenic Nosema spp. but no reduction in the infestation by the mite Varroa destructor. These results suggest that the administration of this potential probiotic, may increase the resistance of honeybee colonies to infectious diseases caused by Nosema spp.

The responses of organic acid production and microbial community to different carbon source additions during the anaerobic fermentation of Chinese cabbage waste. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 371:128624. [PMID: 36642203 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.128624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The effects of glucose, fructose, sucrose and molasses on organic acid levels, protein degradation, nutrient preservation and bacteriome were studied during the anaerobic fermentation of Chinese cabbage waste. The results showed that fructose and molasses additions caused a significant (p < 0.05) increase in lactic acid production (82.16-89.79 %), acetic acid production (175.41-196.93 %), ammonia nitrogen formation (15.93-37.43 %) and reduction of neutral detergent fiber level (8.17-15.87 %). However, few positive effects of glucose and sucrose additions were found on organic acid production. Furthermore, carbon source additions enriched (p < 0.05) the acid-producing bacteria, such as Lactobacillus paralimentarius and Lactobacillus heilongjiangensis, upregulated (p < 0.05) the pathways of carbohydrate and lipid metabolisms and reduced (p < 0.05) the abundances of Lactobacillus buchneri and Escherichia coli and bacteria that were mobile elements-contained and stress-tolerant. Collectively, fructose and molasses additions enhanced the recycling of Chinese cabbage waste by anaerobic fermentation, in which the desired products are organic acids.

Changes in the physicochemical parameters and microbial community of a new cultivar blue wheat cereal wholemeal during sourdough production. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:1031273. [PMID: 36569101 PMCID: PMC9773212 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1031273] [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: 08/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Changes in the characteristics of a new cultivar (DS8472-5) of blue wheat during wholemeal fermentation with Pediococcus acidilactici (LUHS29), Liquorilactobacillus uvarum (LUHS245), and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (LUHS122), including acidity, microbiological and chromaticity parameters, free amino acid (FAA), gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and biogenic amine (BA) contents, macro- and micro-element concentrations and fatty acid (FA) and volatile compounds (VC), were evaluated. In addition, a metagenomic analysis was performed. The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains used for fermentation was a significant factor in wholemeal fermentation sample pH, redness (a*) and LAB counts (p ≤ 0.05). In most of the samples, fermentation increased the FAA content in wheat wholemeal, and the highest concentration of GABA was found in DS8472-5 LUHS122 samples. Phenylethylamine (PHE) was found in all wheat wholemeal samples; however, spermidine was only detected in fermented samples and cadaverine only in DS8472-5 LUHS122. Fermented samples showed higher omega-3 and omega-6 contents and a higher number and variety of VC. Analysis of the microbial profile showed that LAB as part of the natural microbiota present in cereal grains also actively participates in fermentation processes induced by industrial bacterial cultures. Finally, all the tested LAB were suitable for DS8472-5 wheat wholemeal fermentation, and the DS8472-5 LUHS122 samples showed the lowest pH and the highest LAB viable counts (3.94, 5.80°N, and 8.92 log10 CFU/g, respectively).

Abstract
AIMS Enhancing biosurfactant production from indigenous Lactobacillus plantarum MGL-8 using mango waste substrate, and evaluating its characteristics as food sanitiser. METHODS AND RESULTS Mango juice (a mixture of mango paste, sucrose, glycerol, and deionised water) was used for batch fermentation with L. plantarum MGL-8 (L-MJ) and uninoculated (MC-MJ). Agitation, aeration, and temperature were controlled. Maximum Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) growth was observed in MC-MJ and L-MJ at 48 h, and the L-MJ fermentation provided the highest biosurfactant yield of 4.22 g l-1 at 120 h. The dried crude biosurfactant (BSF) provided surface tension 36.6 mN m-1 , a maximum emulsification index (E24%) of 41% and zone of inhibition of 15.53 mm. Preliminary characterisation by Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) indicated a multi-component glycolipoprotein BSF associated with fatty dodecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, octadecanoic acid, proteins, and polysaccharides. The BSF also displayed bactericidal activity against Listeria monocytogenes at 400 µg ml-1 . CONCLUSIONS Mango waste substrate enhanced biosurfactant production by indigenous L. plantarum MGL-8. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The study identifies a production process and characteristics of the biosurfactant, which can be employed as a food sanitiser.

Abstract
Camel milk, similar to cow milk, contains all of the essential nutrients as well as potentially health-beneficial compounds with anticarcinogenic, antihypertensive, and antioxidant properties. Camel milk has been used for the treatment of allergies to cow milk, diabetes, and autism. Camel milk helps decrease cholesterol levels in blood and improves metabolism. One of the most desirable food tastes is sweetness. However, the excessive ingestion of sugar negatively affects human health. Monk fruit sweetener is a natural, 0-calorie sweetener with many health-beneficial functions. Monk fruit sweetener helps decrease symptoms of asthma and diabetes, prevents oxidation and cancer, protects the liver, regulates immune function, and lowers glucose levels. Monk fruit sweetener is 100 to 250 times sweeter than sucrose. The objective of this study was to examine the influence of different concentrations of monk fruit sweetener on the physicochemical properties and microbiological counts of drinking yogurt made from camel milk. Camel milk drinking yogurt was produced with 0, 0.42, 1.27, and 2.54 g/L of monk fruit sweetener and stored for 42 d. The physicochemical characteristics and microbiological counts of yogurts were measured at d 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42. For the physicochemical characteristics, pH, titratable acidity, viscosity, and color [lightness-darkness (L*), red-green axis (a*), yellow-blue axis (b*), chroma (C*), and hue angle (h*)] values were evaluated. The counts of Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, coliforms, and yeast and mold were determined. Three replications were conducted. The sweetener addition significantly influenced pH, viscosity, and color (a*, b*, C*, and h*) values. Control samples had significantly higher pH values, lower viscosity, lower b* and C* values, and higher h* values than the samples with 1.27 and 2.54 g/L of monk fruit sweetener. Growth of S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, and probiotic culture L. acidophilus was not affected by the incorporation of monk fruit sweetener. Monk fruit sweetener can be added in camel milk yogurts as a health-beneficial 0-calorie sweetener.

Abstract
The growing need for Lactobacillus bacteria usage in industry and the expending probiotic market led to a search for new cost-efficient fermentation media from which a high yield of these bacteria could be obtained. The following study aimed to elaborate cultivation medium, for Lactobacillus spp. growth, which main components would be wheat, maize, barley, and rye flours. The optimal temperature for Lactobacillus growth in new semi-solid fermentation (SSF) medium, water content, and pH of the medium were analyzed by the plate count method. It was established, that the highest bacteria counts were obtained from cultures conducted in the SSF medium with flours to water ratio of 1:1.5 with a natural pH of 6.0 at 37 °C. Subsequently, the growth kinetics of analyzed strains, in both MRS and the SSF media, were studied. The newly designed media contributed to the increased duration of selected Lactobacillus strains lag phase, which varied from 1.98 to 5.64; nevertheless, the maximum growth rate of the strains was two times higher in the SSF medium rather than in MRS, which also resulted in shorter generation time. The developed medium has the potential to become a new cost-efficient fermentation medium for Lactobacillus spp.
