Abstract
Although relative air humidity (RH) strongly influences microbial survival, its use for fighting surface pathogens in the food industry has been inadequately considered. We asked whether RH control could destroy Listeria monocytogenes EGDe by envelope damage. The impact of dehydration in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at 75%, 68%, 43% and 11% RH on the bacterial envelope was investigated using flow cytometry and atomic force microscopy. Changes after rehydration in the protein secondary structure and peptidoglycan were investigated by infrared spectroscopy. Complementary cultivability measurements were performed by running dehydration–rehydration with combinations of NaCl (3–0.01%), distilled water, city water and PBS. The main results show that cell membrane permeability and cell envelope were greatly altered during dehydration in PBS at 68% RH followed by rapid rehydration. This damage led cells to recover only 67% of their initial volume after rehydration. Moreover, the most efficient way to destroy cells was dehydration and rehydration in city water. Our study indicates that rehydration of dried, sullied foods on surfaces may improve current cleaning procedures in the food industry.

Abstract
Extremophiles adopt strategies to deal with different environmental stresses, some of which are severely damaging to their cell membrane. To combat high osmotic stress, deep-sea organisms synthesize osmolytes, small polar organic molecules, like trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), and incorporate them in the cell. TMAO is known to protect cells from high osmotic or hydrostatic pressure. Several experimental and simulation studies have revealed the roles of such osmolytes on stabilizing proteins. In contrast, the effect of osmolytes on the lipid membrane is poorly understood and broadly debated. A recent experiment has found strong evidence of the possible role of TMAO in stabilizing lipid membranes. Using the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation technique, we have demonstrated the effect of TMAO on two saturated fully hydrated lipid membranes in their fluid and gel phases. We have captured the impact of TMAO's concentration on the membrane's structural properties along with the fluid/gel phase transition temperatures. On increasing the concentration of TMAO, we see a substantial increase in the packing density of the membrane (estimated by area, thickness, and volume) and enhancement in the orientational order of lipid molecules. Having repulsive interaction with the lipid head group, the TMAO molecules are expelled away from the membrane surface, which induces dehydration of the lipid head groups, increasing the packing density. The addition of TMAO also increases the fluid/gel phase transition temperature of the membrane. All of these results are in close agreement with the experimental observations. This study, therefore, provides a molecular-level understanding of how TMAO can influence the cell membrane of deep-sea organisms and help in combating the osmotic stress condition.

Abstract
Bacterial spores are extremely resistant life-forms that play an important role in food spoilage and foodborne disease. The return of spores to a vegetative cell state is a three-step process, these being activation, germination, and emergence. High-pressure (HP) processing is known to induce germination in part of the spore population and even to inactivate a high number of Bacillus spores when combined with other mild treatments such as the addition of nisin. The aim of the present work was to investigate the mechanisms involved in the sensitization of spores to nisin following HP treatment at ambient temperature or with moderate heating leading to a heterogeneous spore response. Bacillus subtilis spores were subjected to HP treatment at 500 MPa at 20 and 50°C. The physiological state of different subpopulations was characterized. Then Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy coupled to a synchrotron infrared source was used to explore the heterogeneity of the biochemical signatures of the spores after the same HP treatments. Our results confirm that HP at 50°C induces the germination of a large proportion of the spore population. HP treatment at 20°C generated a subpopulation of ungerminated spores reversibly sensitized to the presence of nisin in their growth medium. Regarding infrared spectra of individual spores, spores treated by HP at 50°C and germinated spores had similar spectral signatures involving the same structural properties. However, after HP was performed at 20°C, two groups of spores were distinguished; one of these groups was clearly identified as germinated spores. The second group displayed a unique spectral signature, with shifts in the spectral bands corresponding to changes in membrane fluidity. Besides, spores spectra in the amide region could be divided into several groups close to spectral properties of dormant, germinated, or inactivated spores. The part of the spectra corresponding to α-helix and β-sheet-structures contribute mainly to the spectral variation between spores treated by HP at 20°C and other populations. These changes in the lipid and amide regions could be the signature of reversible changes linked to spore activation.

Abstract
Membranes are the primary site of freezing injury during cryopreservation or vitrification of cells. Addition of cryoprotective agents (CPAs) can reduce freezing damage, but can also disturb membrane integrity causing leakage of intracellular constituents. The aim of this study was to investigate lipid-CPA interactions in a liposome model system to obtain insights in mechanisms of cellular protection and toxicity during cryopreservation or vitrification processing. Various CPAs were studied including dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), glycerol (GLY), ethylene glycol (EG), dimethyl formamide (DMF), and propylene glycol (PG). Protection against leakage of phosphatidylcholine liposomes encapsulated with carboxyfluorescein (CF) was studied upon CPA addition as well as after freezing-and-thawing. Molecular interactions between CPAs and phospholipid acyl chains and headgroups as well as membrane phase behavior were studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. A clear difference was observed between the effects of DMSO on PC-liposomes compared to the other CPAs tested, both for measurements on CF-retention and membrane phase behavior. All CPAs were found to inhibit membrane leakiness during freezing. However, exposure to high CPA concentrations already caused leakage before freezing, increasing in the order DMSO, EG, DMF/PG, and GLY. With DMSO, liposomes were able to withstand up to 6M concentrations compared to only 1M for GLY. Cholesterol addition to PC-liposomes increased membrane stability towards leakiness. DMSO was found to dehydrate the phospholipid headgroups while raising the membrane phase transition temperature, whereas the other CPAs caused an increase in the hydration level of the lipid headgroups while decreasing the membrane phase transition temperature.

Abstract
Canonized view on temperature effects on growth rate of microorganisms is based on assumption of protein denaturation, which is not confirmed experimentally so far. We develop an alternative concept, which is based on view that limits of thermal tolerance are based on imbalance of cellular energy allocation. Therefore, we investigated growth suppression of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the supraoptimal temperature range (30-40°C), i.e. above optimal temperature (Topt). The maximal specific growth rate (μmax) of biomass, its concentration and yield on glucose (Yx/glc) were measured across the whole thermal window (5-40°C) of the yeast in batch anaerobic growth on glucose. Specific rate of glucose consumption, specific rate of glucose consumption for maintenance (mglc), true biomass yield on glucose (Yx/glc(true)), fractional conservation of substrate carbon in product and ATP yield on glucose (Yatp/glc) were estimated from the experimental data. There was a negative linear relationship between ATP, ADP and AMP concentrations and specific growth rate at any growth conditions, whilst the energy charge was always high (~0.83). There were two temperature regions where mglc differed 12-fold, which points to the existence of a 'low' (within 5-31°C) and a 'high' (within 33-40°C) metabolic mode regarding maintenance requirements. The rise from the low to high mode occurred at 31-32°C in step-wise manner and it was accompanied with onset of suppression of μmax. High mglc at supraoptimal temperatures indicates a significant reduction of scope for growth, due to high maintenance cost. Analysis of temperature dependencies of product formation efficiency and Yatp/glc revealed that the efficiency of energy metabolism approaches its lower limit at 26-31°C. This limit is reflected in the predetermined combination of Yx/glc(true), elemental biomass composition and degree of reduction of the growth substrate. Approaching the limit implies a reduction of the safety margin of metabolic efficiency. We hypothesize that a temperature increase above Topt (e.g. >31°C) triggers both an increment in mglc and suppression of μmax, which together contribute to an upshift of Yatp/glc from the lower limit and thus compensate for the loss of the safety margin. This trade-off allows adding 10 more degrees to Topt and extends the thermal window up to 40°C, sustaining survival and reproduction in supraoptimal temperatures. Deeper understanding of the limits of thermal tolerance can be practically exploited in biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Anhydrobiosis is a unique state of living organisms when metabolism is temporarily and reversibly delayed in response to the extreme desiccation of cells. The production of dry active preparations of yeast grown under anaerobic conditions is not currently possible because preparations are extremely sensitive to the dehydration procedure, though they could be very helpful in different biotechnological processes, including bioethanol production. To characterize mechanisms responsible for such sensitivity to the dehydration procedure, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to study the composition of aerobically grown yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae resistant to dehydration and grown under conditions of severe oxygen limitation and sensitive to dehydration. Results indicated that significantly lower amounts of lipids in cells, grown under conditions of severe oxygen limitation, may be related to the mechanisms of sensitivity. Dehydration of both resistant and sensitive S. cerevisiae cells was accompanied by similar changes in main cellular compounds. Amounts of nucleic acids and proteins decreased slightly, whereas that of lipids and carbohydrates increased. Artificially reduced sensitivity to dehydration in S. cerevisiae cells, grown under conditions of severe oxygen limitation, led to the increase in the lipid concentration. The chemical composition of S. cerevisiae membranes is proposed to dictate the resistance to dehydration in resistant and sensitive cells.

Abstract
Mechanical properties of nano-sized vesicles made up of natural membranes are crucial to the development of stable, biocompatible nanocontainers with enhanced functional, recognition and sensing capabilities. Here we measure and compare the mechanical properties of plasma and inner membrane nanovesicles ∼80 nm in diameter obtained from disrupted yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. We provide evidence of a highly deformable behaviour for these vesicles, able to support repeated wall-to-wall compressions without irreversible deformations, accompanied by a noticeably high Young's modulus (∼300 MPa) compared to that obtained for reconstituted artificial liposomes of similar size and approaching that of some virus particles. Surprisingly enough, the results are approximately similar for plasma and inner membrane nanovesicles, in spite of their different lipid compositions, especially on what concerns the ergosterol content. These results point towards an important structural role of membrane proteins in the mechanical response of natural membrane vesicles and open the perspective to their potential use as robust nanocontainers for bioapplications.

Abstract
In a chemically defined medium and in Luria broth, cold strongly reduced maximal population density of Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 in anaerobiosis and caused formation of filaments. In cooked spinach, maximal population density of B. cereus in anaerobiosis was the same at cold and optimal temperatures, with normal cell divisions. The lipid containing fraction of spinach, but not the hydrophilic fraction, restored growth of B. cereus under cold and anaerobiosis when added to the chemically defined medium. This fraction was rich in unsaturated, low melting point fatty acids. Addition of phosphatidylcholine containing unsaturated, low melting point, fatty acids similarly improved B. cereus anaerobic growth at cold temperature. Addition of hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine containing saturated, high melting point, fatty acids did not modify growth. Fatty acids from phospholipids, from spinach and from hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine, although normally very rare in B. cereus, were inserted in the bacterium membrane. Addition of phospholipids rich in unsaturated fatty acids to cold and anaerobic cultures, increased fluidity of B. cereus membrane lipids, to the same level as those from B. cereus normally cold adapted, i.e. grown aerobically at 15 °C. B. cereus is therefore able to use external fatty acids from foods or from the growth medium to adapt its membrane to cold temperature under anaerobiosis, and to recover the maximal population density achieved at optimal temperature.

Abstract
The impact of simultaneous anaerobiosis and low temperature on growth parameters, metabolism, and membrane properties of Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 was studied. No growth was observed under anaerobiosis at 12°C. In bioreactors, growth rates and biomass production were drastically reduced by simultaneous anaerobiosis and low temperature (15°C). The two conditions had a synergistic effect on biomass reduction. In anaerobic cultures, fermentative metabolism was modified by low temperature, with a marked reduction in ethanol production leading to a lower ability to produce NAD(+). Anaerobiosis reduced unsaturated fatty acids at both low optimal temperatures. In addition, simultaneous anaerobiosis and low temperatures markedly reduced levels of branched-chain fatty acids compared to all other conditions (accounting for 33% of total fatty acids against more 71% for low-temperature aerobiosis, optimal-temperature aerobiosis, and optimal-temperature anaerobiosis). This corresponded to high-melting-temperature lipids and to low-fluidity membranes, as indicated by differential scanning calorimetry, 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) fluorescence anisotropy, and infrared spectroscopy. This is in contrast to requirements for cold adaptation. A link between modification in the synthesis of metabolites of fermentative metabolism and the reduction of branched-chain fatty acids at low temperature under anaerobiosis, through a modification of the oxidizing capacity, is assumed. This link may partly explain the impact of low temperature and anaerobiosis on membrane properties and growth performance.

Abstract
Exposure of pancreatic β cells to long-chain saturated fatty acids (SFA) induces a so-called endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress that can ultimately lead to cell death. This process is believed to participate in insulin deficiency associated with type 2 diabetes, via a decrease in β-cell mass. By contrast, some unsaturated fatty acid species appear less toxic to the cells and can even alleviate SFA-induced ER stress. In the present study, we took advantage of a simple yeast-based model, which brings together most of the trademarks of lipotoxicity in human cells, to screen fatty acids of various structures for their capacity to counter ER stress. Here we demonstrate that the tendency of a free fatty acid (FFA) to reduce SFA toxicity depends on a complex conjunction of parameters, including chain length, level of unsaturation, position of the double bonds and nature of the isomers (cis or trans). Interestingly, potent FFA act as building blocks for phospholipid synthesis and help to restore an optimal membrane organization, compatible with ER function and normal protein trafficking.

Abstract
The plasma membrane (PM) is a main site of injury during osmotic perturbation. Sterols, major lipids of the PM structure in eukaryotes, are thought to play a role in ensuring the stability of the lipid bilayer during physicochemical perturbations. Here, we investigated the relationship between the nature of PM sterols and resistance of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to hyperosmotic treatment. We compared the responses to osmotic dehydration (viability, sterol quantification, ultrastructure, cell volume, and membrane permeability) in the wild-type (WT) strain and the ergosterol mutant erg6Δ strain. Our main results suggest that the nature of membrane sterols governs the mechanical behavior of the PM during hyperosmotic perturbation. The mutant strain, which accumulates ergosterol precursors, was more sensitive to osmotic fluctuations than the WT, which accumulates ergosterol. The hypersensitivity of erg6Δ was linked to modifications of the membrane properties, such as stretching resistance and deformation, which led to PM permeabilization during the volume variation during the dehydration-rehydration cycles. Anaerobic growth of erg6Δ strain with ergosterol supplementation restored resistance to osmotic treatment. These results suggest a relationship between hydric stress resistance and the nature of PM sterols. We discuss this relationship in the context of the evolution of the ergosterol biosynthetic pathway.

Abstract
Cardiolipin is a unique phospholipid of the mitochondrial inner membrane. Its peroxidation correlates with release of cytochrome c and induction of apoptosis. The phthalocyanine photosensitizer Pc 4 binds preferentially to the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. Earlier Förster resonance energy transfer studies showed colocalization of Pc 4 and cardiolipin, which suggests cardiolipin as a target of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with Pc 4. Using liposomes as membrane models, we find that Pc 4 binds to cardiolipin-containing liposomes similarly to those that do not contain cardiolipin. Pc 4 binding is also studied in MCF-7c3 cells and those whose cardiolipin content was reduced by treatment with palmitate. Decreased levels of cardiolipin are quantified by thin-layer chromatography. The similar level of binding of Pc 4 to cells, irrespective of palmitate treatment, supports the lack of specificity of Pc 4 binding. Thus, factors other than cardiolipin are likely responsible for the preferential localization of Pc 4 in mitochondria. Nonetheless, cardiolipin within liposomes is readily oxidized by Pc 4 and light, yielding apparently mono- and dihydroperoxidized cardiolipin. If similar products result from exposure of cells to Pc 4-PDT, they could be part of the early events leading to apoptosis following Pc 4-PDT.

Abstract
The phthalocyanine photosensitizer Pc 4 has been shown to bind preferentially to mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum membranes. Upon photoirradiation of Pc 4-loaded cells, membrane components, especially Bcl-2, are photodamaged and apoptosis, as indicated by activation of caspase-3 and cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, is triggered. A series of analogs of Pc 4 were synthesized, and the results demonstrate that Pcs with the aminopropylsiloxy ligand of Pc 4 or a similar one on one side of the Pc ring and a second large axial ligand on the other side of the ring have unexpected properties, including enhanced cell uptake, greater monomerization resulting in greater intracellular fluorescence and three-fold higher affinity constants for liposomes. The hydroxyl-bearing axial ligands tend to reduce aggregation of the Pc and direct it to lysosomes, resulting in four to six times more killing of cells, as defined by loss of clonogenicity, than with Pc 4. Whereas Pc 4-PDT photodamages Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, Pc 181-PDT causes much less photodamage to Bcl-2 over the same dose-response range relative to cell killing, with earlier cleavage of Bid and slower caspase-3-dependent apoptosis. Therefore, within this series of photosensitizers, these hydroxyl-bearing axial ligands are less aggregated than is Pc 4, tend to localize to lysosomes and are more effective in overall cell killing than is Pc 4, but induce apoptosis more slowly and by a modified pathway.

Abstract
An understanding of membrane destabilization induced by osmotic treatments is important to better control cell survival during biotechnological processes. The effects on the membranes of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae of perturbations similar in intensity (same amount of energy) but differing in the source type (heat, compression and osmotic gradient) were investigated. The anisotropy of the fluorescent probe 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene was measured before and after each treatment to assess the reversibility of the membrane changes related to each treatment. Except for heat shock at 75 degrees C, changes in membrane fluidity were reversible after the return to initial conditions, showing that two kinds of physical stress can be distinguished regarding the reversibility of membrane changes: high and mild energy stresses. With the application of osmotic gradients, anisotropy was assessed during treatment with five osmotic pressure levels from 30.7 to 95.4 MPa with two different yeast strains and related to the rate of cell death caused by each stress. The exposure of cells to increasing osmotic pressures involved a progressive lowering of membrane anisotropy during lethal perturbations. Osmotic stresses associated with reversible fluidity changes of increasing intensity in the membrane led to proportional death rates and time-dependent cell death of increasing rapidity during the application of the stress. Finally, a hypothesis relating the extent of membrane structural changes to the kinetic of cell death is proposed.

Abstract
Cryptococcus flavescens (previously reported as C. nodaensis), a biological control agent of Fusarium head blight, has been previously shown to have improved desiccation tolerance after cold adaptation. The goal of the current study was to determine the effect of cold adaptation on the physicochemical properties of C. flavescens that may be responsible for its improved desiccation tolerance. The results show that cold adaptation improves liquid hyperosmotic shock tolerance and alters the temperature dependence of osmotic shock tolerance. Fluorescence anisotropy was used to characterize differences in the membrane fluidity of C. flavescens with and without cold adaptation. Force curves from atomic force microscopy showed a significant increase in the cell wall spring constant after cold adaptation. Cold adaptation of C. flavescens during culturing was shown to produce smaller cells and produced a trend towards higher CFU yields. These results suggest that cold adaptation significantly alters the membrane properties of C. flavescens and may be an effective method of improving the desiccation tolerance of microorganisms. In addition, we provide information on the correct naming of the isolate as C. flavescens.

Abstract
Yeasts are often exposed to variations in osmotic pressure in their natural environments or in their substrates when used in fermentation industries. Such changes may lead to cell death or activity loss. Although the involvement of the plasma membrane is strongly suspected, the mechanism remains unclear. Here, the integrity and functionality of the yeast plasma membrane at different levels of dehydration and rehydration during an osmotic treatment were assessed using various fluorescent dyes. Flow cytometry and confocal microscopy of cells stained with oxonol, propidium iodide, and lucifer yellow were used to study changes in membrane polarization, permeabilization, and endocytosis, respectively. Cell volume contraction, reversible depolarization, permeabilization, and endovesicle formation were successively observed with increasing levels of osmotic pressure during dehydration. The maximum survival rate was also detected at a specific rehydration level, of 20 MPa, above which cells were strongly permeabilized. Thus, we show that the two steps of an osmotic treatment, dehydration and rehydration, are both involved in the induction of cell death. Permeabilization of the plasma membranes is the critical event related to cell death. It may result from lipidic phase transitions in the membrane and from variations in the area-to-volume ratio during the osmotic treatment.

Abstract
The survival of Bradyrhizobium japonicum under hyperosmotic treatments achieved at various temperatures was investigated. The bacterial viability was measured at a combination of different levels of osmotic pressure (1.4-49.2 MPa) in glycerol solutions and temperature (4-28 degrees C). Viability was dependent on these two variables, with low temperatures (10 and 4 degrees C) exhibiting a protective effect against exposure to high levels of osmotic pressure. To understand these results, the relation between membrane physical state and structure of whole cells and osmotic shock tolerance of B. japonicum was studied. Membrane physical changes were evaluated by using 1,3-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) and Laurdan (6-dodecanoil-2-dimethylaminonaphtelene) as probes. The results showed that the membrane of B. japonicum was subjected to a progressive phase transition from the liquid-crystalline to the gel phase during cooling between 28 and 4 degrees C. Accordingly, under isotonic conditions, the Laurdan GP spectra showed that, in the range 12-28 degrees C, membrane lipids were in the liquid-crystalline phase, and in a gel phase at 4 degrees C. The study of the variation in anisotropy of DPH revealed that cooling cells before the hyperosmotic treatment could induce opposite effects to the fluidizing effect of the hyperosmotic shock. Cell resistance was finally related to modifications of the membrane structure depending on combined effects of cooling and dehydration.
