Short-term supplementation with uncoated and encapsulated Enterococcus faecium affected growth performance, gut microbiome and intestinal barrier integrity in broiler chickens. Poult Sci 2024; 103:103808. [PMID: 38761463 PMCID: PMC11133978 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.103808] [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: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) is an alternative to antibiotics, while the probiotic effect of short-term application in mature broiler chickens remains unclear. In the current study, 48 Arbor Acres male broilers were chosen to investigate the effects of E. faecium on growth performance, the gut microbiome and intestinal health during the finishing period. Forty-eight birds were randomly allocated to 4 treatment groups that were fed a corn-soybean meal basal diet (Con), a basal diet supplemented with 1 g/kg amoxicillin (ABX), 5×106 CFU/g encapsulated E. faecium (cEF), or 5×106 CFU/g uncoated E. faecium (EF) from d 33 to 42. The results showed that 10 d of antibiotic treatment decreased the growth performance of the broilers (P < 0.05). The feed conversion ratio of the cEF and EF groups were lower than that of the Con group by 0.13 and 0.07, respectively (P > 0.05). The abundance of viable ileal and cecal E. faecium in the cEF group was greater than that in the EF group (P < 0.05), and both groups were markedly greater than those in the Con and ABX groups (P < 0.05). The ABX treatment decreased the Shannon and Chao1 indices of the cecal microbiota, while the dietary E. faecium treatment resulted in significant differences in the β diversity of the ileal and cecal microbiota (P < 0.05). Mantel correlation revealed that the ileal microbiota at the genus level was significantly correlated with the growth performance of broilers, with Lactobacillus, Bacillus and Escherichia-Shigella showing positive and strong correlations (P < 0.05). In the ileum, the crypt depth was lower in the cEF group than in the Con group, but the villi height-to-crypt depth ratio was greater in the cEF group than in the other groups (P = 0.037). However, the expression of the ZO-2 and Occludin genes was downregulated in the E. faecium-fed birds (P < 0.05). In the cecum, the acetate, butyrate and total SCFA levels were greater in the EF group (P < 0.05), while the propionate, isobutyrate and isovalerate levels were lower in the ABX group (P < 0.05). In summary, 10 d of dietary supplementation with E. faecium markedly increased colonization in mature broilers and potentially improved growth performance by modulating the ileal microbiota. Encapsulation techniques could enable a slow release of E. faecium in the intestine, thereby reducing the negative impacts of rapid expansion of E. faecium on the intestinal epithelium.

Antibacterial Activity and Action Mechanism of Bacteriocin Paracin wx7 as a Selective Biopreservative against Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecalis in Fresh-Cut Lettuce. Foods 2024; 13:1448. [PMID: 38790749 PMCID: PMC11119456 DOI: 10.3390/foods13101448] [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: 04/06/2024] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Fresh-cut vegetables are widely consumed, but there is no food preservative available to selectively inhibit vancomycin-resistant E. faecalis, which is a serious health menace in fresh-cut vegetables. To develop a promising food biopreservative, a bacteriocin, paracin wx7, was synthesized, showing selective inhibition against E. faecalis with MIC values of 4-8 μM. It showed instant bactericidal mode within 1 h at high concentrations with concomitant cell lysis against vancomycin-resistant E. faecalis. Its lethal effect was visualized in a dose-dependent manner by PI/SYTO9 staining observation. The results of an in vivo control experiment carried out on E. faecalis in fresh-cut lettuce showed that 99.97% of vancomycin-resistant E. faecalis were dead after 64 μM paracin wx7 treatment for 7 days without influencing total bacteria. Further, the action mechanism of paracin wx7 was investigated. Confocal microscopy showed that paracin wx7 was located both on the cell envelope and in cytoplasm. For the cell envelope, the studies of membrane permeability using SYTOX Green dyeing and DNA leakage revealed that paracin wx7 damaged the membrane integrity of E. faecalis. Simultaneously, it exhibited membrane depolarization after analysis using DiSC3(5). Damage to the cell envelope resulted in cell deformation observed by scanning electron microscopy. On entering the cytoplasm, the paracin wx7 induced the production of endogenous reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
Enterococci are ubiquitous microorganisms in almost all environments, from the soil we step on to the food we eat. They are frequently found in naturally fermented foods, contributing to ripening through protein, lipid, and sugar metabolism. On the other hand, these organisms are also leading the current antibiotic resistance crisis. In this study, we performed whole-genome sequencing and comparative genomics of an Enterococcus faecium strain isolated from an artisanal Mexican Cotija cheese, namely QD-2. We found clear genomic differences between commensal and pathogenic strains, particularly in their carbohydrate metabolic pathways, resistance to vancomycin and other antibiotics, bacteriocin production, and bacteriophage and CRISPR content. Furthermore, a bacteriocin transcription analysis performed by RT-qPCR revealed that, at the end of the log phase, besides enterocins A and X, two putative bacteriocins not reported previously are also transcribed as a bicistronic operon in E. faecium QD-2, and are expressed 1.5 times higher than enterocin A when cultured in MRS broth.

Abstract
This study investigated the multifunctional attributes such as, antibacterial, antioxidant and anticancer potential of recombinant subtilisin. A codon-optimized subtilisin gene was synthesized from Bacillus subtilis and was successfully transformed into E. coli DH5α cells which was further induced for high level expression in E. coli BL21 (DE3). An affinity purified ~40 kDa recombinant subtilisin was obtained that revealed to be highly alkali-thermostable based on the thermodynamic parameters. The kinetic parameters were deduced that indicated higher affinity of N-Suc-F-A-A-F-pNA substrate towards subtilisin. Recombinant subtilisin demonstrated strong antibacterial activity against several pathogens and showed minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.06 μg/mL against B. licheniformis and also revealed high stability under the influence of several biochemical factors. It also displayed antioxidant potential in a dose dependent manner and exhibited cell cytotoxicity against A549 and MCF-7 cancerous cell lines with IC50 of 5 μM and 12 μM respectively. The identity of recombinant subtilisin was established by MALDI-TOF mass spectrum depicting desired mass peaks and N-terminal sequence as MRSK by MALDI-TOF-MS. The deduced N- terminal amino acid sequence by Edman degradation revealed high sequence similarity with subtilisins from Bacillus strains. The structural and functional analysis of recombinant antibacterial subtilisin was elucidated by Raman, circular dichroism and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The results contribute to the development of highly efficient subtilisin with enhanced catalytic properties making it a promising candidate for therapeutic applications in healthcare industries.

Abstract
This study focused on the microencapsulation of enterocin from Enterococcus durans (E. durans MF5) in whey powder (WP) using a spray-drying technique followed by the evaluation of how complexation can preserve the enterocin structure and antimicrobial activity against food-borne pathogens. Crude enterocin samples (1 and 5%) were microencapsulated in 10% WP. The antimicrobial activity of unencapsulated (crude) enterocin and microencapsulated enterocin was tested against the target bacteria Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria innocua, and Listeria ivanovi. The microencapsulation yields were 31.66% and 34.16% for concentrations of 1 and 5% enterocin, respectively. There was no significant difference between these concentrations. Microencapsulated enterocin was efficient for up to 12 h of cocultivation with Listeria sp., and the concentration required to inhibit the growth of target bacteria presented values of 6400 AU/mL (arbitrary unit). Microencapsulated enterocin demonstrated enhanced efficacy against Listeria species and E. coli when compared with crude enterocin (p < 0.05). Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry results confirmed the presence of enterocin in the microparticles. Scanning electron microscopy showed cell damage of the target bacteria. The results showed that complexation with WP preserved enterocin antimicrobial activity during spray-drying, indicating its potential use as a food preservative.

Abstract
Aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems are both threatened by toxic wastewater. The unique properties of nanomaterials are currently being studied thoroughly for treating sewage. Nanomaterials also have the advantage of being capable of removing organic matter, fungi, and viruses from wastewater. Advanced oxidation processes are used in nanomaterials to treat wastewater. Additionally, nanomaterials have a large effective area of contact due to their tiny dimensions. The adsorption and reactivity of nanomaterials are strong. Wastewater treatment would benefit from the development of nanomaterial technology. Second, the paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the unique characteristics of nanomaterials in wastewater treatment, their proper use, and their prospects. In addition to focusing on their economic feasibility, since limited forms of nanomaterials have been manufactured, it is also necessary to consider their feasibility in terms of their technical results. According to this study, the significant adsorption area, excellent chemical reaction, and electrical conductivity of nanoparticles (NPs) contribute to the successful treatment of wastewater.

Abstract
This study was designed to assess newly isolated bacteriocin-producing strain as potential food preservative. A bacteriocin producing lactic acid bacterium, named Carnobacterium maltaromatium KCA018, was screened from raw milk using deferred and spot-on-the-lawn assays. The crude cell free supernatant (CFS) was purified to obtain proteinaceous bacteriocin by ammonium sulfate precipitation (assigned as bacteriocin KCA) and tested for bacteriocin production, physical stability, antimicrobial activity, and bacteriocin-encoding gene detection. The growth curves of C. maltaromatium KCA018 reached late exponential phase after 15 h of incubation at 25 °C and 30 °C (Fig. 2). The maximum production of bacteriocin KCA was reached after 12 h of incubation at 25 °C, showing the antimicrobial activity of more than 3000 AU/ml against Listeria monocytogenes. The purified bacteriocin KCA was stable up to 67 °C for 30 min of exposure and between pH 4 and 7, showing more than 6000 AU/ml. The antibacterial activity of bacteriocin KCA was lost in the presence of pronase, proteinase K, and trypsin. Purified bacteriocin KCA showed higher antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria than against Gram-negative bacteria. The CFS and purified bacteriocin KCA effectively inhibited the growth of L. monocytogenes ATCC 1911, E. faecalis ATCC 19433, and E. feacium ATCC 11576. The molecular weight of purified bacteriocin KCA was estimated at approximately 5 kDa. The positive amplification was observed for pisA and cbnBM1 with approximately between 100 and 200 bp. The newly identified bacteriocin can be a promising preservative for application in food.

Abstract
The recent surge in demand for natural preservatives has ushered in a new era of research into novel bacteriocins capable of effectively combating food-borne infections. In this study, the bacteriocin from Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus ZFM216, which has a molecular mass of 11851.9 Da, was purified using macroporous resin, gel chromatography, and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. This bacteriocin could inhibit both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It had a strong inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus D48 with minimum inhibitory concentration values of 1.75 μM. Bacteriocin ZFM216 was heat stable and showed pH stability under weakly acidic conditions. It was sensitive to pepsin, proteinase K and trypsin. Electron microscopy results showed that when treated with bacteriocin ZFM216, S. aureus D48 was severely deformed, the cell structure was obviously changed, and the intracellular electrolyte leaked to the outside of the cell. Bacteriocin ZFM216 caused the ATP level of the indicator to decrease, the conductivity to sharply increase, and the transmembrane potential difference (ΔΨ) to instantaneously decrease. This research formed the basis for further development and utilization of bacteriocin ZFM216 which has potential in the food industry.

Abstract
Pseudomonas sp. strain 166 was isolated from soil samples from Changbai Mountains. A novel bacteriocin PA166 from Pseudomonas sp. 166 was purified using ammonium sulfate, dextran gel chromatography column and Q-Sepharose column chromatography successively. The molecular mass of bacteriocin PA166 was found to be 49.38 kDa by SDS-PAGE and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS)/MS. Bacteriocin PA166 showed stability at a wide range of pH (2-10), and thermal stability (40, 60, 80 and 100°C). The bacteriocin PA166 antimicrobial activity was slightly inhibited by Ca2+ , K+ and Mg2+ . The minimum bactericidal concentrations of bacteriocin PA166 against five Pasteurella multocida strains ranged from 2 to 8 μg ml-1 . Bacteriocin PA166 showed low cytotoxicity and a higher treatment index (TI = 82.51). Fluorescence spectroscopy indicated that bacteriocin PA166 destroyed the cell membrane to exert antimicrobial activity. In summary, bacteriocin PA166 had strong antibacterial activity, high TI and low toxicity, and hence could serve as a potential clinical therapeutic drug.

Evaluation of inhibitory compounds produced by bacteria isolated from a hydrogen-producing bioreactor during the self-fermentation of wheat straw. J Appl Microbiol 2022; 133:1989-2001. [PMID: 35808847 DOI: 10.1111/jam.15708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 06/29/2022] [Accepted: 07/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
AIMS The objective of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory activity of compounds secreted by bacteria isolated from a hydrogen-producing bioreactor to understand how these microorganisms interact in this community. METHODS AND RESULTS In vitro inhibitory assays were performed using samples secreted by bacteria subject to different treatments to determine if their inhibitory effect was due to organic acids, non-proteinaceous compounds, or bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS). Bacterial isolated were suppressed 43%, 30%, and 27% by neutralized, precipitated, and non-neutralized cell-free supernatants, respectively. Non-hydrogen producers (Non-H2 P) LAB (Lactobacillus plantarum LB1, L. pentosus LB7, Pediococcus acidilactici LB4) and hydrogen producers (H2 P) LAB (Enterococcus faecium F) were inhibited by the production of organic acids, non-proteinaceous compounds, and BLIS. Meanwhile, the obligate anaerobe H2 P (Clostridium beijerinckii B) inhibited by the production of non-proteinaceous compounds and BLIS. The presence of BLIS was confirmed when proteolytic enzymes affected the inhibitory activity of secreted proteins in values ranging from 20 to 42%. The BLIS produced by L. plantarum LB1, P. acidilactici LB4, L. pentosus LB7, and E. faecium F showed molecular masses of ~ 11 kDa, 25 kDa, 20 kDa, and 11 kDa, respectively. CONCLUSIONS It was demonstrated antagonistic interactions between Lactobacillus- Enterococcus, and Pediococcus-Enterococcus species, generated by the secretion of organic acids, non-proteinaceous compounds, and BLIS. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY We report the interactions between LAB isolated from hydrogen-producing bioreactors. These interactions might impact the dynamics of the microbial population during hydrogen generation. Our work lays a foundation for strategies that allow controlling bacteria that can affect hydrogen production.

Abstract
Antimicrobial compounds from the commensal gut microbiota have gained much attention due to their multifunctionality in maintaining good health in the host and killing multidrug-resistant bacteria. Our previous study showed that Paenibacillus jilinensis YPG26 isolated from chicken intestine can antagonize multiple pathogens. Herein, we characterized a bacteriocin-like inhibitory substance, jileicin, purified from P. jilinensis YPG26. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed that jileicin was a protein consisting of 211 amino acids, which showed 88.98% identity to the SIMPL domain-containing protein. The jileicin showed a relatively broad-spectrum antibacterial ability, especially against enterococci. Additionally, the jileicin exhibited good stability after various treatments, no detectable resistance, no significant cytotoxicity, and very low levels of hemolytic activity. The mode of action against Enterococcus faecium demonstrated that jileicin could destroy cell membrane integrity, increase cell membrane permeability, and eventually lead to cell death. Furthermore, jileicin was efficient in controlling the growth of E. faecium in milk. In conclusion, jileicin, as a newly identified antibacterial agent, is expected to be a promising candidate for application in the food, pharmaceutical, and biomedical industries.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Bacteriocins are generally defined as ribosomally synthesized peptides, which are produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that affect the growth of related or unrelated microorganisms. Conventionally, the extracted bacteriocins are purified by precipitation, where ammonium sulphate is added to precipitate out the protein from the solution.
Main text
To achieve the high purity of bacteriocins, a combination with chromatography is used where the hydrophobicity and cationic properties of bacteriocins are employed. The complexity column inside the chromatography can afford to resolve the loss of bacteriocins during the ammonium sulphate precipitation. Recently, an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) has been widely used in bacteriocins purification due to the several advantages of its operational simplicity, mild process conditions and versatility. It reduces the operation steps and processing time yet provides high recovery products which provide alternative ways to conventional methods in downstream processing. Bacteriocins are widely approached in the food and medical industry. In food application, nisin, which is produced by Lactococcus lactis subsp. has been introduced as food preservative due to its natural, toxicology safe and effective against the gram-positive bacteria. Besides, bacteriocins provide a board range in medical industries where they are used as antibiotics and probiotics.
Short conclusion
In summary, this review focuses on the downstream separation of bacteriocins from various sources using both conventional and recent ATPS techniques. Finally, recommendations for future interesting areas of research that need to be pursued are highlighted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to gain insights in a co-culture of 10 bacteria and their postbiotic supernatant. METHODS Abundances and gene expression were monitored by shotgun analysis. The supernatant was characterized by liquid chromatography mass spectroscopy (LC-MS) and gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). Supernatant was harvested after 48 h (S48) and 196 h (S196). Susceptibility testing included nine bacteria and C. albicans. Bagg albino (BALBc) mice were fed with supernatant or culture medium. Fecal samples were obtained for 16S analysis. RESULTS A time-dependent decrease of the relative abundances and gene expression of L. salivarius, L. paracasei, E. faecium and B. longum/lactis and an increase of L. plantarum were observed. Substances in LC-MS were predominantly allocated to groups amino acids/peptides/metabolites and nucleotides/metabolites, relating to gene expression. Fumaric, panthotenic, 9,3-methyl-2-oxovaleric, malic and aspartic acid, cytidine monophosphate, orotidine, phosphoserine, creatine, tryptophan correlated to culture time. Supernatant had no effect against anaerobic bacteria. S48 was reactive against S. epidermidis, L. monocytogenes, P. aeruginosae, E. faecium and C. albicans. S196 against S. epidermidis and Str. agalactiae. In vivo S48/S196 had no effect on alpha/beta diversity. Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) and analysis of composition of microbiomes (ANCOM) revealed an increase of Anaeroplasma and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. CONCLUSIONS The postbiotic supernatant had positive antibacterial and antifungal effects in vitro and promoted the growth of distinct bacteria in vivo.

Bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances production by Enterococcus faecium 135 in co-culture with Ligilactobacillus salivarius and Limosilactobacillus reuteri. Braz J Microbiol 2022; 53:131-141. [PMID: 34988936 PMCID: PMC8882487 DOI: 10.1007/s42770-021-00661-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2021] [Accepted: 11/16/2021] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
The use of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and probiotic cultures in the breeding of animals such as poultry and swine are quite common. It is known that those strains can produce bacteriocins when grown in pure culture. However, the production of bacteriocin using co-culture of microorganisms has not been much studied so far. The present study contributes with innovation in this area by embracing the production of bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS) by a newly isolated strain of Enterococcus faecium 135. Additionally, the co-cultivation of this strain with Ligilactobacillus salivarius and Limosilactobacillus reuteri was also investigated. The antimicrobial activity of the produced BLIS was evaluated against Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria innocua, Salmonella enterica, and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium using two methods: turbidimetric and agar diffusion. In addition, the presence of enterocin genes was also evaluated. The BLIS produced showed a bacteriostatic effect against the bio-indicator strains, and the highest antimicrobial activities expressed by arbitrary units per mL (AU/mL) were obtained against L. monocytogenes in monoculture (12,800 AU/mL), followed by the co-culture of E. faecium with Limosilactobacillus reuteri (400 AU/mL). After concentration with ammonium sulfate, the antimicrobial activity raised to 25,600 AU/mL. Assays to determine the proteinaceous nature of the BLIS showed susceptibility to trypsin and antimicrobial activity until 90 °C. Finally, analysis of the presence of structural genes of enterocins revealed that four enterocin genes were present in E. faecium 135. These results suggest that BLIS produced by E. faecium 135 has potential to be a bacteriocin and, after purification, could potentially be used as an antimicrobial agent in animal breeding.

Abstract
In this study, a bacteriocin PA996 isolated from Pseudomonas azotoformans (P. azotoformans) was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulphate precipitation and SP-Sepharose column chromatography. P. azotoformans began to grow at 6 h, reached exponential phase at 12-18 h. Bacteriocin PA996 was produced at 18 h and reached a maximum level of 2400 AU/mL. The molecular mass of purified bacteriocin PA996 was estimated by SDS-PAGE and its molecular mass was approximately 50 kDa. By screening in vitro, the bacteriocin PA996 showed an antimicrobial activity against Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida). The bacteriocin PA996 showed antibacterial activity in the range of pH2-10 and it was heat labile. The inhibitory activities were diminished after treatment with proteinase K, trypsin and papain, respectively, while catalase treatment was ineffective. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and bactericidal kinetics curves showed that the bacteriocin PA996 had a good inhibitory ability against P. multocida. Our data indicate that bacteriocin PA996 could inhibit the growth of P. maltocida and it may have the potential to apply as an alternative therapeutic drug.

Abstract
In this study, a composite film was prepared with bacterial cellulose (BC) of Gluconacetobacter xylinus and cell-free supernatant (CFS) of Enterococcus faecium TJUQ1, which was named BC-E. The optimum conditions for the preparation of the composite film with a minimal antibacterial activity were the soak of BC in 80 AU/mL CFS for 6 h. By scanning electron microscope observation, the surface network structure of BC-E was denser than that of BC. The tensile strength of BC and BC-E was 4.65 ± 0.88 MPa and 16.30 ± 0.92 MPa, the elongation at break of BC and BC-E was 3.33 ± 0.89% and 31.60 ± 1.15%, respectively, indicating the mechanical properties of BC-E were significantly higher than that of BC (P < 0.05). The swelling ratio of BC-E (456.67 ± 7.20%) was lower than that of BC (1377.78 ± 9.07%), demonstrating BC-E films presented better water resistance. BC-E films were soaked with 320 AU/mL CFS, and then used to pack the ground meat with 6.55 log10 CFU/g of Listeria monocytogenes. After 8 days of storage, the number of bacteria decreased by 3.16 log10 CFU/g. Similarly, total mesophilic bacterial levels in the ground meat decreased by 2.41 log10 CFU/g compared to control groups.

Abstract
The effect of bioprotective extracts (BEs) from Lactobacillus acidophilus CRL641 (BE-1) and Latilactobacillus curvatus CRL705 (BE-2) against the exopolysaccharide producer Latilactobacillus sakei CRL1407 in vacuum-packaged meat discs at 4 °C was evaluated. Lat. sakei CRL1407 was able to grow in control samples from 2.80 to 7.77 log CFU/g after 38 days. BE-1 and BE-2 reduced bacterial growth by 2.11 and 1.35 log CFU/g, respectively, but their combination led to a greater growth reduction (3.31 log CFU/g). The antimicrobial activity was detected in treated samples with BE-1 and BE-1 + BE-2 until day 16, while with BE-2 only at the initial time. The pH values remained constant in the discs treated with the BEs combination, whereas the greatest drop in pH was observed in control samples. The minor lipid oxidation without perceptible color changes was detected in the presence of BE-1 and BE-1 + BE-2. The combination of BEs as biocontrol agent plus conventional preservation barriers could extend the fresh meat shelf-life without quality loss.

[PMID: 33506226 PMCID: PMC7810390 DOI: 10.5851/kosfa.2020.e98] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2020] [Revised: 12/09/2020] [Accepted: 12/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes is a representative foodborne pathogen
and causes listeriosis. Enterococcus faecium CJNU 2524 was
confirmed to produce a bacteriocin with anti-listerial activity. To establish
optimal culture conditions for the production of the bacteriocin from E.
faecium CJNU 2524, different media (MRS and BHI broth) and
temperatures (25°C, 30°C, and 37°C) were investigated. The
results showed that the optimal culture conditions were MRS broth and
25°C or 30°C temperatures. The crude bacteriocin was stable in a
broad range of pH conditions (2.0–10.0), temperatures
(60°C–100°C), and organic solvents (methanol, ethanol,
acetone, acetonitrile, and chloroform). The bacteriocin activity was abolished
when treated with protease but not α-amylase or lipase, indicating the
proteinaceous nature of the bacteriocin. Finally, the bacteriocin showed a
bactericidal mode of action against L. monocytogenes.
Therefore, it can be a biopreservative candidate for controlling L.
monocytogenes in dairy and meat products.

Abstract
There is an increasing demand for dairy products, but the presence of food-spoilage bacteria seriously affects the development of the dairy industry. Bacteriocins are considered to be a potential antibacterial or antibiofilm agent that can be applied as a preservative. In this study, bacteriocin BM173 was successfully expressed in the Escherichia coli expression system and purified by a 2-step method. Furthermore, it exhibited a broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, high thermal stability (121°C, 20 min), and broad pH stability (pH 3-11). Moreover, the minimum inhibitory concentration values of BM173 against E. coli ATCC 25922 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 were 14.8 μg/mL and 29.6 μg/mL, respectively. Growth and time-kill curves showed that BM173 exhibited antibacterial and bactericidal activity. The results of scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that BM173 increased membrane permeability, facilitated pore formation, and even promoted cell lysis. The disruption of cell membrane integrity was further verified by propidium iodide uptake and lactic dehydrogenase release. In addition, BM173 exhibited high efficiency in inhibiting biofilm formation. Therefore, BM173 has promising potential as a preservative used in the dairy industry.

Abstract
This study was aimed to isolate and partially characterizes the bacteriocin produced by an L. plantarum sp. isolated from traditional sourdough. The bacteriocin was partially purified, and after treating it with different harsh conditions, its antibacterial activity was evaluated against L. monocytogenes as an indicator. Also, the growth phase during which the bacteriocin is produced, and its mode of action, was examined. Finally, the molecular weight of this compound was evaluated by using SDS-PAGE analysis. According to the results, this bacteriocin had a molecular weight well lower than 10 kDa that was mainly produced at the early stationary phase and reached its highest activity (3,200 AU/ml) at the same stage. It was tolerant toward a wide range of pH (2-10), temperatures (-20 to 120°C), and high concentrations of NaCl. Notably, the bacteriocin-producing strain had proteolytic activity, while the bacteriocin produced by that showed resistance to proteolytic enzymes (pepsin, trypsin, and proteinase K). Also, it was revealed that the bacteriocin activity is mostly bacteriostatic so that it considerably inhibits pathogens' growth, particularly S. aureus, E. coli, and L. monocytogenes. These characteristics prove that strain and its bacteriocin can be considered as one of the most promising agents to use in the food industry.

Abstract
Bacteriocins are generally considered as low-molecular-weight ribosomal peptides or proteins synthesized by G+ and G- bacteria that inhibit or kill other related or unrelated microorganisms. However, low yield is an important factor restricting the application of bacteriocins. This paper reviews mining methods, heterologous expression in different systems, the purification technologies applied to bacteriocins, and identification methods, as well as the antibacterial mechanism and applications in three different food systems. Bioinformatics improves the efficiency of bacteriocins mining. Bacteriocins can be heterologously expressed in different expression systems (e.g., Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus, and yeast). Ammonium sulfate precipitation, dialysis membrane, pH-mediated cell adsorption/desorption, solvent extraction, macroporous resin column, and chromatography are always used as purification methods for bacteriocins. The bacteriocins are identified through electrophoresis and mass spectrum. Cell envelope (e.g., cell permeabilization and pore formation) and inhibition of gene expression are common antibacterial mechanisms of bacteriocins. Bacteriocins can be added to protect meat products (e.g., beef and sausages), dairy products (e.g., cheese, milk, and yogurt), and vegetables and fruits (e.g., salad, apple juice, and soybean sprouts). The future research directions are also prospected.

Abstract
The emergence of antimicrobial resistance in the food chain and the consumer's demand for safe food without chemical preservatives have generated much interest in natural antimicrobials. Thus, our main goal was to study the mode of action of the crude extract, the enterocins, and the organic acid produced by a bacteriocinogenic Enterococcus faecium strain S6 previously isolated from raw camel milk. Then, we aimed to evaluate their potential application in a food system. These antimicrobials exhibited antimicrobial activity against Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica, and Escherichia coli. The enterocins were synthesized as primary metabolites beginning at the lag phase, with optimal production at the exponential and stationary phases. The antimicrobials had a direct effect in extending the lag phase of L. monocytogenes, along with a significant inhibitory activity. The organic acid, in particular, inhibited both L. monocytogenes and S. enterica by inducing a total lysis and damage of the cell wall. The enterocins acted on disrupting the cell wall with pore formation, leading to cell death. Moreover, the crude extract revealed a combined inhibitory activity between enterocins and organic acid. Furthermore, the antimicrobials showed promising results through inhibiting L. monocytogenes cells in milk samples up to 1 wk at 4°C.
