Abstract
This study aimed to screen autochthonous strains with broad-spectrum biogenic amine (BA) degradation ability from traditional dry sausages and to evaluate their BA-degrading ability in dry sausages. A total of 120 strains were isolated from dry sausages collected from various regions in Northeast China, and 35 of 120 isolates were identified as non-BA producing strains by the in vitro agar method. The random amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction technique genotyped these 35 isolates into 18 biotypes. Moreover, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) quantification showed that six strains (Latilactobacillus sakei MDJ6; Lactiplantibacillus plantarum SH7; Weissella hellenica DQ9; Staphylococcus saprophyticus JX18 and SYS8; and Macrococcus caseolyticus SYS11) of the 18 biotypes exhibited broad-spectrum BA-degrading ability, all of which had various levels of amine oxidase activity with monoamine oxidase and diamine oxidase activities ranged of 6.60-619.04 and 26.32-352.81 U/mg protein, respectively. These six strains were subsequently inoculated into dry sausages and the results showed that they exhibited varying degrees of BA-degrading ability, of which strain Lat. sakei MDJ6 allowed to have less BA production on dry sausage with a final concentration of 61.33 mg/kg.

Abstract
In this investigation, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from milk were tested for their antibacterial properties and improved the antimicrobial activity of these isolates using genome shuffling. A total of sixty-one isolates were found in eleven samples, which were then tested using the agar diffusion method for their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Thirty-one strains exhibited antibacterial activity against at least one of the tested pathogens, with an inhibitory zone's diameter varying between 15.0 and 24.0 mm. Two isolates that showed the highest antimicrobial activity were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum CIP 103151 and Lactobacillus plantarum JCM 1149 according to 16S rRNA analysis. In the present study, applying genome shuffling approach significantly enhanced the antibacterial activity of L. plantarum. The initial populations were obtained via ultraviolet irradiation and were treated using the protoplast fusion method. The ideal condition for the production of protoplasts was 15 mg/ml of lysozyme and 10 μg/ml of mutanolysin. After two rounds of fusion, ten recombinants exhibited a significant increase in the inhibition zones versus S. aureus, S. typhimurium, P. aeruginosa, and E. coli, reaching up to 1.34, 1.31, 1.37, and 1.37-fold increase in inhibitory zone respectively. Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA results showed clear differences in DNA banding patterns among the wild strain of L. plantarum CIP 103151 and the three selected shuffled strains using primers 1283 & OPA09. On the other hand, no change was obtained using primers OPD03 neither among the wild strain and the three recombinant strains nor among the three shuffled strains.

Front Microbiol 2022; 13:1014872. [PMID: 36212836 PMCID: PMC9537375 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1014872] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Leuconostoc species are important microorganisms in food fermentation but also cause food spoilage. Although these species are commercially important, their taxonomy is still based on inaccurate identification methods. Here, we used computational pangenome analysis to develop a real-time PCR-based method for identifying and differentiating the 12 major Leuconostoc species found in food. Analysis of pan and core-genome phylogenies showed clustering of strains into 12 distinct groups according to the species. Pangenome analysis of 130 Leuconostoc genomes from these 12 species enabled the identification of each species-specific gene. In silico testing of the species-specific genes against 143 publicly available Leuconostoc and 100 other lactic acid bacterial genomes showed that all the assays had 100% inclusivity/exclusivity. We also verified the specificity for each primer pair targeting each specific gene using 23 target and 124 non-target strains and found high specificity (100%). The sensitivity of the real-time PCR method was 102 colony forming units (CFUs)/ml in pure culture and spiked food samples. All standard curves showed good linear correlations, with an R2 value of ≥0.996, suggesting that screened targets have good specificity and strong anti-interference ability from food sample matrices and non-target strains. The real-time PCR method can be potentially used to determine the taxonomic status and identify the Leuconostoc species in foods.

Immunostimulatory Activity of Synbiotics Using Lactococcus lactis SG-030 and Glucooligosaccharides from Weissella cibaria YRK005. Microorganisms 2021; 9:microorganisms9122437. [PMID: 34946039 PMCID: PMC8703668 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms9122437] [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: 10/30/2021] [Revised: 11/21/2021] [Accepted: 11/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Much attention has been recently paid to the health benefits of synbiotics, a combination of probiotics and prebiotics. In this study, synbiotics were prepared by combining lactic acid bacteria with potential as probiotics and purified glucooligosaccharides, and their immunostimulatory activity was evaluated using RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. A lactic acid bacteria strain with high antioxidant activity, acid and bile salt tolerance, adhesion to Caco-2 cells, and nitric oxide (NO) production was selected as a potential probiotic strain. The selected strain, isolated from forsythia, was identified as Lactococcus lactis SG-030. The purified glucooligosaccharides produced from Weissella cibaria YRK005 were used as prebiotics. RAW 264.7 cells were treated with synbiotics in two ways. One way was a simultaneous treatment with lactic acid bacteria and glucooligosaccharides. The other way was to pre-culture the lactic acid bacteria with glucooligosaccharides followed by treatment with synbiotic culture broth or synbiotic culture supernatant. In both cases, synbiotics synergistically increased NO production in RAW 264.7 cells. In addition, synbiotics treatment increased the expression of tissue necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and inducible nitric oxide synthase genes. Synbiotics also increased the expression of P38, extracellular signal-regulated kinases, c-Jun N-terminal kinases, phosphoinositide 3-kinase, and Akt proteins. The results confirmed that the synbiotics prepared in this study exhibited synergistic immunostimulatory activity.

Microorganisms 2021; 9:microorganisms9030491.

Abstract
Leuconostoc spp. are environmental microorganisms commonly associated with fermented foods. Absence of antibiotic resistance (AR) in bacteria is a critical issue for global food safety. Herein, we updated the occurrence of AR genes in the Leuconostoc genus through in silico analyses of the genomes of 17 type strains. A total of 131 putative AR traits associated with the main clinically relevant antibiotics were detected. We found, for the first time, the lsaA gene in L. fallax ATCC 700006T and L. pseudomesenteroides NCDO 768T. Their amino acid sequences displayed high similarities (59.07% and 52.21%) with LsaA of Enterococcusfaecalis V583, involved in clindamycin (CLI) and quinupristin-dalfopristin (QUD) resistance. This trait has different distribution patterns in Leuconostoc nontype strains-i.e., L. pseudomesenteroides, L. lactis and L. falkenbergense isolates from fermented vegetables, cheeses, and starters. To better explore the role of lsaA, MIC for CLI and QUD were assessed in ATCC 700006T and NCDO 768T; both strains were resistant towards CLI, potentially linking lsaA to their resistant phenotype. Contrarily, NCDO 768T was sensitive towards QUD; however, expression of lsaA increased in presence of this antibiotic, indicating an active involvement of this trait and thus suggesting a revision of the QUD thresholds for this species.

Abstract
Identification and classification of beneficial microbes is of the highest significance in food science and related industries. Conventional phenotypic approaches pose many challenges, and they may misidentify a target, limiting their use. Genotyping tools show comparatively better prospects, and they are widely used for distinguishing microorganisms. The techniques already employed in genotyping of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are slightly different from one another, and each tool has its own advantages and disadvantages. This review paper compiles the comprehensive details of several fingerprinting tools that have been used for identifying and characterizing LAB at the species, sub-species, and strain levels. Notably, most of these approaches are based on restriction digestion, amplification using polymerase chain reaction, and sequencing. Nowadays, DNA sequencing technologies have made considerable progress in terms of cost, throughput, and methodology. A research journey to develop improved versions of generally applicable and economically viable tools for fingerprinting analysis is ongoing globally.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to track intentionally inoculated Leuconostoc mesenteroides (11251) and Lactobacillus brevis (B151) strains in kimchi using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), repetitive element palindromic PCR (rep-PCR), and comparative housekeeping gene sequences analysis. The 16S rRNA gene provided species-level information for 30 colonies randomly picked from kimchi inoculated with strains 11251 and B151. Out of 30 colonies, one colony was matched to strain 11251, and two colonies were found identical to strain B151 reference strain in inoculated kimchi. Notably, among the three tools, strain 11251 was best tracked by comparative gene sequence analysis, while strain B151 tracked by all three tools. Our results suggest that the gene sequence analysis is a more reliable tool for tracking of desired strains than RAPD and rep-PCR. Based on the findings, it is recommended that gene sequence analysis could be used to avoid misuse of industrially useful strains within the growing food industry.

Abstract
The present work aimed at tracking intentionally inoculated lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains in yogurt and probiotic powder. Leuconostoc (Leu.) mesenteroides (11251), Lactobacillus (L.) brevis (B151), and Lactobacillus plantarum (LB41K) strains were tracked in yogurt, and L. plantarum (LB41P) was tracked in a commercial probiotic powder. The yogurt was intentionally inoculated with the selected bacterial strains. Two types of yogurt with known and unknown bacterial pools were utilized. The standard 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to evaluate the initial screening. The molecular typing tools, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), repetitive element palindromic PCR (rep-PCR), and comparative gene sequence analysis of selected housekeeping loci were used to track the inoculated dubious strains. Out of 30 random selections for each inoculation, the developed method identified seven (11251), nine (B151), and five (LB41K) colonies in the yogurt. The validation was performed by identifying 7 colonies (LB41P) out of 30 in the probiotic powder. The DNA banding profiles and the gene sequence alignments led to the identification of the correct inoculated strains. Overall, the study summarizes the use of molecular tools to identify the deliberately inoculated LAB strains. In conclusion, the proposed polyphasic approach effectively tracked the intentionally inoculated strains: Leu. mesenteroides, L. brevis, and L. plantarum (LB41K) in yogurt and L. plantarum (LB41P) in probiotic powder. The study demonstrates how to track industrially relevant misused LAB strains in marketable food products.

Abstract
Incidents of food fraud have occurred worldwide, particularly in the form of meat adulteration. In this study, molecular probes were developed using the Random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique in order to identify three beef subspecies-Holstein, Angus, and Taiwan Yellow Cattle. Four RAPD-PCR 10-nucleotide primers were chosen out of a total of 60 primers. The selection was based on the reproducibility of species-specific amplicons able to detect various origins of cattle breeds. The results demonstrated that primer OPK12 produced three unique amplicons (1100 bp, 1000 bp and 480 bp) in Holstein; primer OPK14 generated one amplicon that only appeared in Holstein and Angus (200 bp); primer OPK19 amplified two species-specific amplicons in Holstein measuring 550 bp and 650 bp, respectively. However, due to the relatively lower repeatability of RAPD-PCR, higher and more specific testing repeats were required to increase the accuracy of the conclusion.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria are known for their preservative effects on food products like meat and sausage. Since they are related to humans, these bacteria require proper characterization and identification among various other bacteria in the surroundings. For their identification, several typing methods have already been applied of which the genotyping methods provide reproducible and unambiguous results. In this study, PCR-based method called repetitive element PCR was used for typing 37 Leuconostoc mesenteroides with three primers, REP, ERIC, and (GTG)5, annealing to repetitive sequences present in the bacterial genome. Different fingerprints were obtained for the isolates showing distinguishing profiles. Further phylogenetic analysis was performed using UPGMA method of clustering which provided proper identification with genetic relatedness of all the isolates. It was finally observed that, out of the three primers used, (GTG)5 discriminated the strains precisely than the other two.

Abstract
In the present study, 35 Leuconostoc mesenteroides strains isolated from vegetables and food products from South Korea were studied by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of seven housekeeping genes (atpA, groEL, gyrB, pheS, pyrG, rpoA, and uvrC). The fragment sizes of the seven amplified housekeeping genes ranged in length from 366 to 1414 bp. Sequence analysis indicated 27 different sequence types (STs) with 25 of them being represented by a single strain indicating high genetic diversity, whereas the remaining 2 were characterized by five strains each. In total, 220 polymorphic nucleotide sites were detected among seven housekeeping genes. The phylogenetic analysis based on the STs of the seven loci indicated that the 35 strains belonged to two major groups, A (28 strains) and B (7 strains). Split decomposition analysis showed that intraspecies recombination played a role in generating diversity among strains. The minimum spanning tree showed that the evolution of the STs was not correlated with food source. This study signifies that the multilocus sequence typing is a valuable tool to access the genetic diversity among L. mesenteroides strains from South Korea and can be used further to monitor the evolutionary changes.
