Abstract
IMPORTANCE While quinones are essential for respiratory microorganisms, their importance for microbes that rely on fermentation metabolism is not understood. This gap in knowledge hinders our understanding of anaerobic microbial habitats, such in mammalian digestive tracts and fermented foods. We show that Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, a model fermentative lactic acid bacteria species abundant in human, animal, and insect microbiomes and fermented foods, uses multiple exogenous, environmental quinones as electron shuttles for a hybrid metabolism involving EET. Interestingly, quinones both stimulate this metabolism as well as cause oxidative stress when extracellular electron acceptors are absent. We also found that quinone-producing, lactic acid bacteria species commonly enriched together with L. plantarum in food fermentations accelerate L. plantarum growth and medium acidification through a mainly quinone- and EET-dependent mechanism. Thus, our work provides evidence of quinone cross-feeding as a key ecological feature of anaerobic microbial habitats.

Screening of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 67 with Strong Adhesion to Caco-2 Cells and the Effects of Protective Agents on Its Adhesion Ability during Vacuum Freeze Drying. Foods 2023; 12:3604. [PMID: 37835257 PMCID: PMC10572606 DOI: 10.3390/foods12193604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/23/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Adhesion to the intestinal tract provides the foundation for Lactobacillus to exert its benefits. Vacuum freeze-drying (VFD) is currently one of the main processing methods for Lactobacillus products. Therefore, the effects of VFD on the adhesion and survival of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 67 were investigated in this study. The results show that L. plantarum 67 exhibits remarkable tolerance following successive exposure to simulated saliva, gastric juice and intestinal juice, and also has a strong adhesion ability to Caco-2 cells. The adhesion and survival rates of L. plantarum 67 significantly decreased after VFD in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), whereas they significantly increased in protective agents (PAs) (p < 0.05). Scanning electron microscope observations show that L. plantarum 67 aggregated more to Caco-2 cells in PAs than in PBS, and its shape and size were protected. Proteomics detection findings indicated that differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) related to adhesins and vitality and their pathways in L. plantarum 67 were significantly affected by VFD (p < 0.05). However, the expression of DEPs (such as cold shock protein, cell surface protein, adherence protein, chitin-binding domain and extracellular transglycosylase, membrane-bound protein) was improved by PAs. Compared with PBS, the PAs significantly adjusted the phosphotransferase system and amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism pathways (p < 0.05). VFD decreased the adhesion and vitality of L. plantarum 67, while the PAs could exert protective effects by regulating proteins and pathways related to adhesion and vitality.

Abstract
Microorganisms living in polar regions rely on specialized mechanisms to adapt to extreme environments. The study of their stress adaptation mechanisms is a hot topic in international microbiology research. In this study, a bacterial strain (Arc9.136) isolated from Arctic marine sediments was selected to implement polyphasic taxonomic identification based on factors such as genetic characteristics, physiological and biochemical properties, and chemical composition. The results showed that strain Arc9.136 is classified to the genus Nocardioides, for which the name Nocardioides arcticus sp. nov. is proposed. The ozone hole over the Arctic leads to increased ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation, and low temperatures lead to increased dissolved content in seawater. These extreme environmental conditions result in oxidative stress, inducing a strong response in microorganisms. Based on the functional classification of significantly differentially expressed genes under 1 mM H2O2 stress, we suspect that Arc9.136 may respond to oxidative stress through the following strategies: (1) efficient utilization of various carbon sources to improve carbohydrate transport and metabolism; (2) altering ion transport and metabolism by decreasing the uptake of divalent iron (to avoid the Fenton reaction) and increasing the utilization of trivalent iron (to maintain intracellular iron homeostasis); (3) increasing the level of cell replication, DNA repair, and defense functions, repairing DNA damage caused by H2O2; (4) and changing the composition of lipids in the cell membrane and reducing the sensitivity of lipid peroxidation. This study provides insights into the stress resistance mechanisms of microorganisms in extreme environments and highlights the potential for developing low-temperature active microbial resources.

Abstract
Probiotic bacteria are known to have ability to tolerate inhospitable conditions experienced during food preparation, food storage, and gastrointestinal tract of consumer. As probiotics are living cells, they are adversely affected by the harsh environment of the carrier matrix as well as low pH, bile salts, oxidative stress, osmotic pressure, and commensal microflora of the host. To overcome the unfavorable environments, many probiotics switch on the cell-mediated protection mechanisms, which helps them to survive, acclimatize and remain operational in the harsh circumstances. In this review, we provide comprehensive understanding on the different stresses experienced by the probiotic when added in carrier food as well as during human gastrointestinal tract transit. Under such situation how these health beneficial bacteria protect themselves by activation of several defense systems and get adapted to the lethal environments.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the time-course effect of Lactobacillus plantarum NJAU-01 in scavenging exogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The results showed that L. plantarum NJAU-01 at 107 CFU/mL was able to eliminate a maximum of 4 mM H2O2 within a prolonged lag phase and resume to proliferate during the following culture. Redox state in the start-lag phase (0 h, without the addition of H2O2), indicated by glutathione and protein sulfhydryl, was impaired in the lag phase (3 h and 12 h) and then gradually recovered during subsequent growing stages (20 h and 30 h). By using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and proteomics analysis, a total of 163 proteins such as PhoP family transcriptional regulator, glutamine synthetase, peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase, thioredoxin reductase, ribosomal proteins, acetolactate synthase, ATP binding subunit ClpX, phosphoglycerate kinase, UvrABC system protein A and UvrABC system protein B were identified as differential proteins across the entire growth phase. Those proteins were mainly involved in H2O2 sensing, protein synthesis, repairing proteins and DNA lesions, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism. Our data suggest that biomolecules of L. plantarum NJAU-01 are oxidized to passively consume H2O2 and are restored by the enhanced protein and/or gene repair systems.

Selenium stress response of the fruit origin strain Fructobacillus tropaeoli CRL 2034. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2023; 107:1329-1339.

Abstract
The fruit-origin strain Fructobacillus tropaeoli CRL 2034 can biotransform selenium into seleno-nanoparticles and selenocysteine. The proteomic analysis of F. tropaeoli CRL 2034 exposed to 5 and 100 ppm of Se showed a dose-dependent response since 19 and 77 proteins were deregulated, respectively. In the presence of 5 ppm of Se, the deregulated proteins mainly belonged to the categories of energy production and conversion or had unknown functions, while when cells were grown with 100 ppm of Se, most of the proteins were grouped into amino acid transport and metabolism, nucleotide transport and metabolism, or into unknown functions. However, under both Se conditions, glutathione reductases were overexpressed (1.8-3.1-fold), while mannitol 2-dehydrogenase was downregulated (0.54-0.19-fold), both enzymes related to oxidative stress functions. Mannitol 2-dehydrogenase was the only enzyme found that contained SeCys, and its activity was 1.27-fold increased after 5 ppm of Se exposure. Our results suggest that F. tropaeoli CRL 2034 counteracts Se stress by overexpressing proteins related to oxidative stress resistance and changing the membrane hydrophobicity, which may improve its survival under (food) storage and positively influence its adhesion to intestinal cells. Selenized cells of F. tropaeoli CRL 2034 could be used for producing Se-enriched fermented foods. KEY POINTS: • Selenized cells of F. tropaeoli showed enhanced resistance to oxidative stress. • SeCys was found in the Fructobacillus mannitol 2-dehydrogenase polypeptide chain. • F. tropaeoli mannitol 2-dehydrogenase activity was highest when exposed to selenium.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between prooxidants and antioxidants, which is the cause of various chronic human diseases. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been considered as an effective antioxidant to alleviate oxidative stress in the host. To obtain bacterium resources with good antioxidant properties, in the present study, 113 LAB strains were isolated from 24 spontaneously fermented chili samples and screened by tolerance to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Among them, Lactobacillus plantarum GXL94 showed the best antioxidant characteristics and the in vitro antioxidant activities of this strain was evaluated extensively. The results showed that L. plantarum GXL94 can tolerate hydrogen peroxide up to 22 mM, and it could normally grow in MRS with 5 mM H2O2. Its fermentate (fermented supernatant, intact cell and cell-free extract) also had strong reducing capacities and various free radical scavenging capacities. Meanwhile, eight antioxidant-related genes were found to up-regulate with varying degrees under H2O2 challenge. Furthermore, we evaluated the probiotic properties by using in vitro assessment. It was showed that GXL94 could maintain a high survival rate at pH 2.5% or 2% bile salt or 8.0% NaCl, live through simulated gastrointestinal tract (GIT) to colonizing the GIT of host, and also show higher abilities of auto-aggregation and hydrophobicity. Additionally, the usual antibiotic susceptible profile and non-hemolytic activity indicated the safety of the strain. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that L. plantarum GXL94 could be a potential probiotic candidate for producing functional foods with antioxidant properties.

Abstract
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum KM1 was screened from natural fermented products, which had probiotic properties and antioxidant function. The survival rate of L. plantarum KM1 was 78.26% at 5 mM H2O2. In this study, the antioxidant mechanism of L. plantarum KM1 was deeply analyzed by using the proteomics method. The results demonstrated that a total of 112 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were screened, of which, 31 DEPs were upregulated and 81 were downregulated. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis indicated that DEPs participated in various metabolic pathways such as pyruvate metabolism, carbon metabolism, trichloroacetic acid cycle, amino acid metabolism, and microbial metabolism in diverse environments. These metabolic pathways were related to oxidative stress caused by H2O2 in L. plantarum KM1. Therefore, the antioxidant mechanism of L. plantarum KM1 under H2O2 stress provided a theoretical basis for its use as a potential natural antioxidant.

Abstract
Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris can survive pasteurization and is implicated in pasteurized fruit juice spoilage. However, the mechanisms underlying heat responses remain largely unknown. Herein, gene transcription changes of A. acidoterrestris under heat stress were detected by transcriptome, and an integrated analysis with proteomic and physiological data was conducted. A total of 911 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was observed. The majority of DEGs and differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were exclusively regulated at the mRNA and protein level, respectively, whereas only 59 genes were regulated at both levels and had the same change trends. Comparative analysis of the functions of the specifically or commonly regulated DEGs and DEPs revealed that the heat resistance of A. acidoterrestris was primarily based on modulating peptidoglycan and fatty acid composition to maintain cell envelope integrity. Low energy consumption strategies were established with attenuated glycolysis, decreased ribosome de novo synthesis, and activated ribosome hibernation. Terminal oxidases, cytochrome bd and aa3, in aerobic respiratory chain were upregulated. Meanwhile, the MarR family transcriptional regulator was upregulated, reactive oxygen species (ROS) was discovered, and the concentration of superoxide dismutase (SOD) increased, indicating that the accompanied oxidative stress was induced by high temperature. Additionally, DNA and protein damage repair systems were activated. This study provided a global perspective on the response mechanisms of A. acidoterrestris to heat stress, with implications for better detection and control of its contamination in fruit juice.

Abstract
Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are an important part of human gut microbiota. Among numerous benefits, their antioxidant properties are attracting more and more attention. Multiple in vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated that lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, along with their cellular components, possess excellent antioxidant capacity, which provides a certain degree of protection to the human body against diseases associated with oxidative stress. Recently, lactobacilli and bifidobacteria have begun to be considered as a new source of natural antioxidants. This review summarizes the current state of research on various antioxidant properties of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. Special emphasis is given to the mechanisms of antioxidant activity of these bacteria in the human gut microbiota, which involve bacterial cell components and metabolites. This review is also dedicated to the genes involved in the antioxidant properties of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria strains as indicators of their antioxidant potential in human gut microbiota. Identification of the antioxidant biomarkers of the gut microbiota is of great importance both for creating diagnostic systems for assessing oxidative stress and for choosing strategies aimed at restoring the normal functioning of the microbiota and, through it, restoring human health. In this review, the practical application of probiotic strains with proven antioxidant properties to prevent oxidative stress is also considered.

Abstract
During the storage of yogurt, acid-resistant bacteria continue to produce lactic acid (i.e., post-acidification process), leading to undesirable taste and flavor. Many methods have been proposed to inhibit post-acidification. However, the specific genes involved during this biological process have not yet been systematically studied. Hence, herein, we assessed the culture starter Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus ATCC11842 with regards to its transcriptomes under in vitro acid- and cold-culture conditions. Through differential gene expression analysis, we screened out 69 candidate genes that persistently responded to acid with or without cold stress. qPCR was then used to determine the in situ expression levels of these candidate genes at different stages of yogurt fermentation and storage. Genes whose expression levels did not change much from the end of fermentation to the early stage of yogurt storage were more likely to be post-acidification genes, as such stability indicated that they were not affected by cold stress. LDB_RS05285 was determined to be one such gene; the overexpression of this gene showed that the increase of gene expression could reduce the acid production of the strain without affecting normal growth. Therefore, the genetic manipulation techniques that increased the expression level of the LDB_RS05285 gene might have the potential to inhibit the post-acidification of yogurt. Thus, LDB_RS05285 plays an important role in the post-acidification process and would become a new target for regulating yogurt post-acidification.

Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Lactococcus response to environmental stress: Mechanisms and application of cross-protection to improve resistance against freeze-drying.

Abstract
The review deals with lactic acid bacteria in characterizing the stress adaptation with cross-protection effects, mainly associated with Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Lactococcus. It focuses on adaptation and cross-protection in Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Lactococcus, including heat shocking, cold stress, acid stress, osmotic stress, starvation effect, etc. Web of Science, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and PubMed databases were used for the systematic search of literature up to the year 2020. The literature suggests that a lower survival rate during freeze-drying is linked to environmental stress. Protective pretreatment under various mild stresses can be applied to lactic acid bacteria which may enhance resistance in a strain-dependent manner. We investigate the mechanism of damage and adaptation under various stresses including heat, cold, acidic, osmotic, starvation, oxidative and bile stress. Adaptive mechanisms include synthesis of stress-induced proteins, adjusting the composition of cell membrane fatty acids, accumulating compatible substances, etc. Next, we reveal the cross-protective effect of specific stress on the other environmental stresses. Freeze-drying is discussed from three perspectives including the regulation of membrane, accumulation of compatible solutes and the production of chaperones and stress-responsive proteases. The resistance of lactic acid bacteria against technological stress can be enhanced via cross-protection, which improves industrial efficiency concerning the survival of probiotics. However, the adaptive responses and cross-protection are strain-dependent and should be optimized case by case.

Abstract
Ethanol is a toxic factor that damages membranes, disturbs metabolism, and may kill the cell. Tetragenococcus halophilus, considered as the cell factory during the manufacture of traditional fermented foods, encounters ethanol stress, which may affect the viability and fermentative performance of cells. In order to improve the ethanol tolerance of T. halophilus, a strategy based on cross protection was proposed in the current study. The results indicated that cross protection induced by heat preadaptation (45°C for 1.5 h) could significantly improve the stress tolerance (7.24-fold increase in survival) of T. halophilus upon exposure to ethanol (10% for 2.5 h). Based on this result, a combined analysis of physiological approaches and TMT-labeled proteomic technology was employed to investigate the protective mechanism of cross protection in T. halophilus. Physiological analysis showed that the heat preadapted cells exhibited a better surface phenotype, higher membrane integrity, and higher amounts of unsaturated fatty acids compared to unadapted cells. Proteomic analysis showed that a total of 163 proteins were differentially expressed in response to heat preadaptation. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that energy metabolism, membrane transport, peptidoglycan biosynthesis, and genetic information processing were the most abundant metabolic pathways after heat preadaptation. Three proteins (GpmA, AtpB, and TpiA) involved in energy metabolism and four proteins (ManM, OpuC, YidC, and HPr) related to membrane transport were up-regulated after heat preadaptation. In all, the results of this study may help understand the protective mechanisms of preadaptation and contribute to the improvement of the stress resistance of T. halophilus during industrial processes.

Abstract
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) plays an essential role in eliminating oxidative damage of lactic acid bacteria. Streptococcus thermophilus, an important probiotic lactic acid bacterium, often inevitably suffers from various oxidative stress during dairy fermentation. In this study, to confer high-level oxidative resistance, the sod gene from Lactobacillus casei was heterologous expressed in S. thermophilus S-3 using our previous constructed native constitutive promoter library. The enzyme activity of SOD was significantly enhanced in engineered S. thermophilus by promoter #14 (2070 U/mg). Furthermore, the strategy of multi-copy sod-expressing cassettes was employed to improve SOD activity. The maximum activity (2750 U/mg) was obtained by the two-copy sod recombinant, which was 1.5-fold higher than that of one-copy recombinant. In addition, the survival rate of multi-copy sod recombinants was increased about 97-fold with 3.5 mmol/L H2O2 treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first report of multi-copy sod gene expression in S. thermophilus, which exerts a positive effect on coping with oxidative stress to enhance the potential of industrial application.

Characterization of transcriptional response of Lactobacillus plantarum under acidic conditions provides insight into bacterial adaptation in fermentative environments. Sci Rep 2020; 10:19203.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play an important role in kimchi fermentation by metabolizing raw materials into diverse metabolites. Bacterial adaptation is therefore a crucial element of fermentation. In this study, we investigated the transcriptional changes of Lactobacillus plantarum under acidic conditions to evaluate the elements of bacterial adaptation critical for fermentation. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) have shown that transport function is primarily affected by acidic conditions. Five of the 13 significantly down-regulated genes and 7 of the 25 significantly up-regulated genes were found to have transport-related functions. We quantified the intracellular leucine content of bacteria grown at different pH ranges, determining that optimal bacterial leucine transport could be controlled by acidity during fermentation. Inhibition of L. plantarum growth was investigated and compared with other LAB at a pH range of 6.2–5.0. Interestingly, valinomycin inhibited L. plantarum growth from pH 6.2 to 5.0. This showed that L. plantarum had a wider range of transport functions than other LAB. These results suggested that L. plantarum had robust transport functions, and that this was the crucial factor for bacterial adaptation during fermentation.

Abstract
The property differences between bacteria produced from solid-state and liquid-state fermentations have always been the focus of attention. This study analyzed the stress tolerance and transcriptomic differences of the probiotic Lacticaseibacillus casei Zhang produced from solid-state and liquid-state fermentations under no direct stress. The total biomass of L. casei Zhang generated from liquid-state fermentation with MRS medium (LSF-MRS) was 2.24 times as much as that from solid-state fermentation with soybean meal-wheat bran (SSF-SW) medium. Interestingly, NaCl, H2O2, and ethanol stress tolerances and the survival rate after L. casei Zhang agent preparation from SSF-SW fermentation were significantly higher than those from LSF-MRS fermentation. The global transcriptomic analysis revealed that in L. casei Zhang produced from SSF-SW fermentation, carbohydrate transport, gluconeogenesis, inositol phosphate metabolism were promoted, that pentose phosphate pathway was up-regulated to produce more NADPH, that citrate transport and fermentation was extremely significantly promoted to produce pyruvate and ATP, and that pyruvate metabolism was widely up-regulated to form lactate, acetate, ethanol, and succinate from pyruvate and acetyl-CoA, whereas glycolysis was suppressed, and fatty acid biosynthesis was suppressed. Moreover, in response to adverse stresses, some genes encoding aquaporins (GlpF), superoxide dismutase (SOD), nitroreductase, iron homeostasis-related proteins, trehalose operon repressor TreR, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), and TetR/AcrR family transcriptional regulators were up-regulated in L. casei Zhang produced from SSF-SW fermentation. Our findings provide novel insight into the differences in growth performance, carbon and lipid metabolisms, and stress tolerance between L. casei Zhang from solid-state and liquid-state fermentations.

Abstract
Application of probiotics in the food industry has been hampered by their sensitivity to challenging conditions that reduce their vitality in food matrices. A lot of attempts have been made to promote the growth of these probiotics in the aspect of nutrition demands. Among the other adverse conditions, oxygen stress can restrict the growth of probiotics and has not yet been paid enough attention to. In this study, the effect of a petunidin-based anthocyanin (ACN) on the growth of probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum ST-III was investigated under oxygen stress. The growth of ST-III was analyzed through spot assay on agar plates as well as plating-based enumeration of the viable cells in the liquid culture. Results indicated that ACN could efficiently improve the growth of ST-III under oxygen stress, whereas no effect was observed in the absence of oxygen stress. Further investigations indicated that ACN reduced the oxido-reduction potential of the culture; meanwhile, it exerted a positive transcriptional regulation on the thioredoxin system of ST-III, leading to a decrease in reactive oxygen species accumulation within the cells. Moreover, ACN enabled the growth of ST-III in reconstituted skim milk and promoted the formation of milk clots. These results revealed the role of a petunidin-based ACN in oxygen stress relief and highlighted its potential in manufacture and preservation of L. plantarum-based dairy products.

Abstract
Streptomyces albulus has commercially been used for the production of ε-poly-L-lysine (ε-PL), a natural food preservative, where acid stress is inevitably encountered in the biosynthesis process. To elucidate the acid tolerance response (ATR), a comparative physiology and transcriptomic analysis of S. albulus M-Z18 at different environmental pH (5.0, 4.0, and 3.0) was carried out. In response to acid stress, cell envelope regulated the membrane fatty acid composition and chain length to reduce damage. Moreover, intracellular pH homeostasis was maintained by increasing H+-ATPase activity and intracellular ATP and amino acid (mainly arginine, glutamate, aspartate and lysine) concentrations. Transcriptional analysis based on RNA-sequencing indicated that acid stress aroused global changes and the differentially expressed genes involved in transcriptional regulation, stress-response protein, transporter, cell envelope, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, DNA and RNA metabolism and ribosome subunit. Consequently, the ATR of S. albulus was preliminarily proposed. Notably, it is indicated that the biosynthesis of ε-PL is also a response mechanism for S. albulus to combat acid stress. These results provide new insights into the ATR of S. albulus and will contribute to the production of ε-PL via adaptive evolution or metabolic engineering.
