Yang L, Li H, Wu H, Sun X, Liu S, Zhang D, Su C, He Z. New insights into the dominance of mixed fermentation of Staphylococcus cohnii and Staphylococcus saprophyticus in Chinese bacon: Complete genomic and comparative genomic perspectives. Food Res Int 2024; 189:114544. [PMID: 38876605 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that Staphylococcus cohnii WX_M8 and S. saprophyticus MY_A10 significantly enhanced the flavor of Chinese bacon in a mixed fermentation. However, due to the complexity of the processing, the contribution of the bacteria is deceptive when investigating only the phenotypic changes at the time of fermentation. In order to clarify the metabolic mechanisms of mixed fermentation, a technological characterization, whole genome and comparative genomics analysis, and metabolites were approached in this study. Results showed that differences in tolerance characteristics existed between WX_M8 and MY_A10. And the genomes of both the two strains consisted of one chromosome and four circular plasmids. Their genome sizes were 2.74 Mp and 2.62 Mp, the GC contents were 32.45% and 33.18%, and the predicted coding genes (CDS) were 2564 and 2541, respectively. Based on the annotation of gene functions and assessment of metabolic pathways in the KEGG database, WX_M8 and MY_A10 strains were found to harbor complete protein degradation and amino acid metabolic pathways, pyruvate and butanol metabolic pathways, and isoleucine metabolic pathways, and their diverse enzyme-encoding genes superimposed the metabolic functions, whereas the alcohol dehydrogenase genes, adh and frmA, achieved complementary functions in the production of esters. Comparative genomics analysis revealed a diversity of encoding genes of aminotransferases and a greater metabolism for sulfur-containing amino acids, aromatic amino acids, and branched-chain amino acids in the mixed fermentation of strains WX_M8 and MY_A10. Metabolites analysis showed that MY_A10 focused on the production of soluble peptides and free amino acids (FAAs), while WX_M8 focused on volatile organic compounds (VOCs), resulting in a significant enhancement of the flavor of Chinese bacon when the two were mixed fermented. This result may provide direction for strains WX_M8 and MY_A10 to be used as starter cultures and targeted to regulate flavor.

He X, Yu Y, Kemperman R, Jimenez L, Ahmed Sadiq F, Zhang G. Comparative Genomics Reveals Genetic Diversity and Variation in Metabolic Traits in Fructilactobacillus sanfranciscensis Strains. Microorganisms 2024; 12:845. [PMID: 38792675 PMCID: PMC11124214 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12050845] [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: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Fructilactobacillus sanfranciscensis is a significant and dominant bacterial species of sourdough microbiota from ecological and functional perspectives. Despite the remarkable prevalence of different strains of this species in sourdoughs worldwide, the drivers behind the genetic diversity of this species needed to be clarified. In this research, 14 F. sanfranciscensis strains were isolated from sourdough samples to evaluate the genetic diversity and variation in metabolic traits. These 14 and 31 other strains (obtained from the NCBI database) genomes were compared. The values for genome size and GC content, on average, turned out to 1.31 Mbp and 34.25%, respectively. In 45 F. sanfranciscensis strains, there were 162 core genes and 0 to 51 unique genes present in each strain. The primary functions of core genes were related to nucleotide, lipid transport, and amino acid, as well as carbohydrate metabolism. The size of core genes accounted for 41.18% of the pan-genome size in 14 F. sanfranciscensis strains, i.e., 0.70 Mbp of 1.70 Mbp. There were genetic variations among the 14 strains involved in carbohydrate utilization and antibiotic resistance. Moreover, exopolysaccharides biosynthesis-related genes were annotated, including epsABD, wxz, wzy. The Type IIA & IE CRISPR-Cas systems, pediocin PA-1 and Lacticin_3147_A1 bacteriocins operons were also discovered in F. sanfranciscensis. These findings can help to select desirable F. sanfranciscensis strains to develop standardized starter culture for sourdough fermentation, and expect to provide traditional fermented pasta with a higher quality and nutritional value for the consumers.

Increase in Lactulose Content in a Hot-Alkaline-Based System through Fermentation with a Selected Lactic Acid Bacteria Strain Followed by the β-Galactosidase Catalysis Process. Foods 2023; 12:4317. [PMID: 38231767 DOI: 10.3390/foods12234317] [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: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation and β-galactosidase catalysis methods were combined to increase the lactulose concentration and reduce the galactose and lactose content in a hot-alkaline-based system. The optimal conditions for chemical isomerization were 70 °C for 50 min for lactulose production, in which the concentration of lactulose was 31.3 ± 1.2%. Then, the selection and identification of LAB, which can utilize lactose and cannot affect lactulose content, were determined from 451 strains in the laboratory. It was found that Lactobacillus salivarius TM-2-8 had weak lactulose utilization and more robust lactose utilization. Lactobacillus rhamnosus grx.21 was weak in terms of lactulose utilization and strong in terms of galactose utilization. These two strains fermented the chemical isomerization system of lactulose to reduce the content of lactose and galactose. The results showed that the lactose concentration was 48.96 ± 2.92 g/L and the lactulose concentration was 59.73 ± 1. 8 g/L for fermentation lasting 18 h. The β-galactosidase was used to increase the content of lactulose in the fermented system at this time. The highest concentration of 74.89 ± 1.68 g/L lactulose was obtained at an enzymatic concentration of 3 U/mL and catalyzed at 50 °C for 3 h by β-galactosidase.

Abstract
Latilactobacillus curvatus is a potential probiotic that possesses beneficial health properties and fermentation traits; however, the extent of understanding of the antioxidant activities of L. curvatus is limited. This study investigates the antioxidant activities of a new L. curvatus FFZZH5L strain. The strain exhibits broad tolerance to acids, bases and salts and demonstrated good adaption to the gastrointestinal environment, with a survival rate of 45% after 24 h of treatment in artificial gastrointestinal juice. Moreover, L. curvatus FFZZH5L exhibits inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus, with a self-aggregation rate of 34.8% and a co-aggregation rate of 82.2%. In vitro, the DPPH radical scavenging ability and GSH-px enzyme activity of L. curvatus FFZZH5L reach 64.27% and 15.95 U mL-1, respectively. Treatment of C. elegans with L. curvatus FFZZH5L in vivo significantly extended the organism's lifespan. Furthermore, the activity of SOD, GSH-px and T-AOC was increased by 33.6%, 43.4% and 58.3%, respectively. Feeding C. elegans with L. curvatus FFZZH5L decreased the MDA, lipofuscin and ROS levels by 9%-36.4%. L. curvatus FFZZH5L effectively protected C. elegans against juglone-induced oxidative stress damage and led to a significant increase in the organism's survival under heat stress. The RT-qPCR analysis suggests that feeding C. elegans with L. curvatus FFZZH5L upregulates the expression levels of antioxidant-related genes including glutathione S-transferase 4 (gst-4), gst-1, gst-10, sod-3, sod-5, and sod-10 in C. elegans. Our investigation confirms the probiotic and antioxidant properties of L. curvatus, indicating its potential application in functional foods and the pharmaceutical industry.
