WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2023; 169:351-362. [PMID: 37523946 DOI: 10.1016/j.wasman.2023.07.015] [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: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023]
Abstract
Aerobic compost is an effective method for the treatment of livestock manure, which is usually accompanied by complex interspecific competition. Describing these competitive relationships through mathematical models can help understand the interaction of microorganisms and analyze the effect of exogenous additive to regulate the composting process. The common model for analyzing competition problem is the Lotka-Volterra model. However, the fixed parameters of the Lotka-Volterra model are not suitable to reflect the dynamic variations of the competitive relationship when the environmental conditions change during composting process. Therefore, this paper establishes a novel fractional grey unequal-interval time-varying Lotka-Volterra model. Firstly, a fractional grey derivate operator is proposed on the basis of the unequal interval of composting data and historical dependence of microbial growth. Secondly, considering the influence of temperature, a time-varying parameter matrix is defined to reflect the variation of competitive relationship at different composting phases, and it is estimated by forgetting factor recursive least squares. Thirdly, the optimal coefficients are optimized by grey prediction evolution algorithm. Finally, the proposed model is employed to analyze the chicken manure composting experiment. The results show that the proposed model has lower error criteria and more accurate trend of fitting curve than the other five existing models. The parameter matrix describes the dynamical variation of microbial competitive relationship in two taxonomic levels and reveals that effect of the exogenous additive is principally reacted in the thermophilic phase and the competitive advantage is shifted from Bacteroidota to Firmicutes after treatment with the exogenous additive.

Abstract
Microbial community in natural or artificial environments playes critical roles in substance cycles, products synthesis and species evolution. Although microbial community structures have been revealed via culture-dependent and culture-independent approaches, the hidden forces driving the microbial community are rarely systematically discussed. As a mode of cell-to-cell communication that modifies microbial interactions, quorum sensing can regulate biofilm formation, public goods secretion, and antimicrobial substances synthesis, directly or indirectly influencing microbial community to adapt to the changing environment. Therefore, the current review focuses on microbial community in the different habitats from the quorum sensing perspective. Firstly, the definition and classification of quorum sensing were simply introduced. Subsequently, the relationships between quorum sensing and microbial interactions were deeply explored. The latest progressives regarding the applications of quorum sensing in wastewater treatment, human health, food fermentation, and synthetic biology were summarized in detail. Finally, the bottlenecks and outlooks of quorum sensing driving microbial community were adequately discussed. To our knowledge, this current review is the first to reveal the driving force of microbial community from the quorum sensing perspective. Hopefully, this review provides a theoretical basis for developing effective and convenient approaches to control the microbial community with quorum sensing approaches.

Abstract
An ultimate goal in food production is to guarantee food safety and security. Fermented food products benefit from the intrinsic capabilities of the applied starter cultures as they produce organic acids and bactericidal compounds such as hydrogen peroxide that hamper most food pathogens. In addition, highly potent small peptides, bacteriocins, are being expelled to exert antibiotic effects. Based on ongoing scientific efforts, there is a growing market of food products to which protective cultures are added exclusively for food safety and for prolonged shelf life. In this regard, most genera from the order Lactobacillales play a prominent role. Here, we give an overview on protective cultures in food products. We summarize the mode of actions of antibacterial mechanisms. We display the strategies for the isolation and characterization of protective cultures in order to have them market-ready. A survey of the growing market reveals promising perspectives. Finally, a comprehensive chapter discusses the current legislation issues concerning protective cultures, leading to the conclusion that the application of protective cultures is superior to the usage of defined bacteriocins regarding simplicity, economic costs, and thus usage in less-developed countries. We believe that further discovery of bacteria to be implemented in food preservation will significantly contribute to customer's food safety and food security, badly needed to feed world's growing population but also for food waste reduction in order to save substantial amounts of greenhouse gas emissions.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the biological inhibiting effect of a beef-derived Latilactobacillus sakei (RS-25) on the spoilage of beef steaks in overwrapped packaging during the 12 days of storage at 4°C. Beef quality as well as microbial indicators were determined at different intervals during the storage after the inoculation of RS-25 at the 6 log CFU/g, and the high-throughput sequencing was applied to investigate the changes of microbial community structure during the storage. The inoculation of RS-25 on beef had no effect (p > .05) on pH, TBARS, and TVB-N during storage indicating the weak effect of such strain on the eat quality. Furthermore, the rise of L* and the delayed decline of a* and b* reveal the protection effect of RS-25 on the meat color. RS-25 reduced the re-contaminated Salmonella typhimurium by 1.16 log CFU/g (p < .01), and the growth of Brochothrix thermosphacta was also inhibited but no inhibition was found on the Pseudomonas spp. at the first 6 days of storage. The inhibiting effect of RS-25 was covered by the rapid growth of other microorganism during the following 6 days of storage. Consistent with the microbial counts results, high-throughput sequencing analysis confirmed that the inoculated L. sakei RS-25 was dominant at first 6 days, and then replaced by Pseudomonas spp. The findings obtained from the current study may provide basic information for the further application of bioprotective bacteria in preservation of beef steaks in the overwrapped packaging.

Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10091786.

Abstract
Seafood products are one of the most perishable foods, and their shelf life is limited by enzymatic and microbial spoilage. Developing methods to extend the shelf life of fresh fish could reduce food waste in the fishery industry, retail stores, and private households. In recent decades, the application of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as bioprotective cultures has become a promising tool. In this study, we evaluated the use of four starter cultures, previously selected for their properties as bioprotective agents, for sea bass and sea bream burgers biopreservation. Starter cultures impacted the microbial populations, biochemical parameters (pH, TVB-N), and sensory properties of fish burgers, during 10 days of storage at 4 °C and then 20 days at 8 °C in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). Also, storage time influenced the microbial and physicochemical characteristics of all the tested samples, except for TVB-N values, which were significantly higher in the uninoculated burgers. The volatilome changed in the different treatments, and in particular, the samples supplemented with starter presented a profile that described their rapid growth and colonization, with the production of typical molecules derived from their metabolism. The addition of bioprotective cultures avoided bloating spoilage and improved the sensory parameters of the burgers. The shelf life of the fish burgers supplemented with starter cultures could be extended up to 12 days.

Analysis of the Bioprotective Potential of Different Lactic Acid Bacteria Against Listeria monocytogenes in Cold-Smoked Sea Bass, a New Product Packaged Under Vacuum and Stored at 6 ± 2°C. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:796655. [PMID: 34987492 PMCID: PMC8721034 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.796655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of the work was to monitor the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in cold-smoked fish products (trout, salmon, and sea bass) marketed in Italy. Cold-smoked sea bass is a new product that has not yet been commercialized and was collected from the production facility. Monitoring data have shown that cold-smoked products can be contaminated by L. monocytogenes, the presence of which has been highlighted mainly by enrichment culture (presence in 25 g). The isolated Listeria were serotyped and belonged mainly to low-virulence serotypes (1/2c), followed by serotypes 1/2a, 1/2b, and 4b. Furthermore, considering the ability of L. monocytogenes to grow in these products due to their chemical-physical characteristics (pH > 6.0, Aw > 0.97) and long shelf life at 4°C, an additional aim was to verify the activity of different bioprotective starters, including Lactilactobacillus sakei (LAK-23, Sacco srl, Via Alessandro Manzoni 29/A, 22071 Cadorago, CO, Italy), Carnobacterium spp., Lacticaseibacillus casei (SAL 106), and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (SAL 211), in cold-smoked sea bass. All starters were bacteriocin producers. For this experiment, smoked sea bass samples were intentionally inoculated with a mixture of three different strains of L. monocytogenes and of each starter culture. After inoculation, the smoked sea bass were vacuum-packed and stored at 6 ± 2°C for 60 days, simulating the typical abuse storage temperature of markets and home refrigerators. At 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 days, the sea bass samples were analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of the starters against L. monocytogenes. Listeria monocytogenes growth was prevented only by the addition of the LAK-23 starter. Indeed, at the end of the shelf life, the amount of L. monocytogenes observed was similar to that in the inoculum. Consequently, the use of this starter can allow the inclusion of cold-smoked sea bass or smoked fish products in category 1.3 of Regolamento CE 2073/2005, which are products that do not support the growth of this microorganism. Finally, the activity of the LAK-23 starter did not produce an off flavor or off odor in the smoked sea bass.
