Anal Biochem 2023; 661:114938. [PMID: 36379249 DOI: 10.1016/j.ab.2022.114938] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 09/22/2022] [Accepted: 09/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022]
Abstract
One of the most important challenges in the field of food safety is producing natural and safe substances that act against pathogens in food. Bacteriocins and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have an anti-pathogens effect for both Gram-negative and positive bacteria. The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize safe lactic acid bacteria from traditional Chinese fermented milk that can produce anti-bacterial molecule compounds and does not harm for humans and animals. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NWAFU-BIO-BS29 was found to be safe, lacking 16 genes for virulence factors, biogenic amine production and antibiotic resistance, and no hemolysis activity was observed. In contrast, it has ability to produce a novel potential bacteriocin of Plantaricin Bio-LP1. Precipitation of bacteriocin by Ethyl-acetate proved to be a suitable method for the extraction the bacteriocin. Whilst, the purification steps were performed as follows: the protein purification system (AKTA-Purifier equipped with HiTrap (gel column)), followed by reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) equipped with C18 column. In addition, LC-MS-MS and MALDI-TOF were used to identify the peptide sequences and estimate the molecular weight, respectively. Notably, among the eight peptide sequences considered, a couple of sequences have been announced as uncharacterized in protein database (FDYYFFDKK and KEIDDNSIAVK) with a molecular mass less than 1.3 kDa. The MIC was 0.552 mg/ml and exhibited high stability under various temperature, pH, and enzymes conditions. The best activity was found at temperature and pH of 4 °C and 6 °C, respectively, which are the optimal conditions for preservation of most foods. We concluded that, the described method can arouse a growing interest in mining novel bacteriocins. Plantaricin Bio-LP1 is a potentially unique bacteriocin that is effective as a bio-preservative and could make a promising contribution in food and animal feed industries or in the medical field with further clinical studies.

Ismael M, Gu Y, Cui Y, Wang T, Yue F, Yantin Q, Lü X. Lactic acid bacteria isolated from Chinese traditional fermented milk as novel probiotic strains and their potential therapeutic applications. 3 Biotech 2022; 12:337. [PMID: 36340806 PMCID: PMC9626708 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-022-03403-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 10/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are believed to have health-promoting properties to the host and can be used in therapeutics interventions; intriguingly, they have the property to produce bio-preservatives substances. Therefore, this study aimed to mine probiotics and evaluate their safety, functional properties, and cholesterol-lowering capability. Seven potential probiotic strains were compared from 56 LAB strains isolated from traditional Chinese fermented milk. The results showed that all tested strains are tolerant to gastric acidity (45.5-83.26) and bile salts (11.92-92.91%) and have antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923 and Escherichia coli ATCC25922. Likewise, it lowered the cholesterol levels in vitro by live cells (26.57-45.76%) and dead cells (29.53-50.97%) with remarkable aggregation ability (13.8-43.71%). Antioxidant properties and produce short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were strain-dependent features. Upon assessment of the safety, Enterococcus faecium NWAFU-BIO-AS14 exhibited virulence factors genes (VFs) of (mur-2ed, odc, and tet(K)) and + hemolysis activity. While Enterococcus faecium NWAFU-BIO-A-B24 and Limosilactobacillus fermentum NWAFU-BIO-B-S6 have VFs of (odc, vanC2, and ant(6)-Ia). Limosilactobacillus fermentum NWAFU-BIO-D-B2 has only (odc). Thus, they are not considered as safe probiotics. In contrast, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NWAFU-BIO-BS29, Companilactobacillus crustorum NWAFU-BIO-AS16, and Lactobacillus gallinarum NWAFU-BIO-D-S7 are the safest and best strains, respectively, due to the absence of 16 VFs and their sensitivity to antibiotics such as kanamycin, erythromycin, tetracycline, gentamycin, vancomycin, streptomycin, chloramphenicol, and ampicillin. Accordingly, these strains have a high potentiality to be used as starter cultures or safely applied as perfect probiotics in functionals food and feed.

Probiotic of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NWAFU-BIO-BS29 Isolated from Chinese Traditional Fermented Milk and Its Potential Therapeutic Applications Based on Gut Microbiota Regulation. Foods 2022; 11:foods11233766. [PMID: 36496574 PMCID: PMC9738876 DOI: 10.3390/foods11233766] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria are one of the bioresources that can promote the host's health and have potential therapeutic applications. This study aimed to evaluate the probiotic properties of novel Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NWAFU-BISO-BS29 isolated in vitro from traditional Chinese fermented milk, assess its safety, and study its interaction with the gut microbiota using a BALB/c mouse model. The findings reveal that this strain had a high tolerance to gastric acidity (64.4%) and bile salts (19.83-87.92%) with remarkable auto-aggregation and co-aggregation abilities (33.01-83.96%), respectively. Furthermore, it lowered the cholesterol levels in dead cells (44.02%) and live cells (34.95%) and produced short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Likewise, it showed good antioxidant properties and strong antipathogen activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus with inhibition zones at 21 and 25 mm, respectively. The safety assessment results indicate that all of the virulence factor genes were not detected in the whole DNA; additionally, no hemolysis or resistance to antibiotics commonly used in food and feed was observed. Interestingly, the 16S rRNA gene sequencing of the mouse gut microbiota showed a marked alteration in the microbial composition of the administrated group, with a noticeable increase in Firmicutes, Patescibacteria, Campylobacterota, Deferribacterota, Proteobacteria, and Cyanobacteria at the phylum level. The modulation of gut microbial diversity significantly improved the production of SCFCs due to the abundance of lactobacillus genera, which was consistent with the functional gene predictive analysis and is believed to have health-promoting properties. Based on these results, our novel strain is considered a safe and good probiotic and could hold high potential to be used as a starter culture or to safely supplement functional foods as a probiotic and may provide new insights into therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
The thermoresponsive Zinc TetraPhenylPorphyrin photosensitizer/Dextran poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) graft copolymer/Au Nanoparticles (ZnTPP/D-g-PNIPAM/AuNPs) triple hybrid nanosystem was synthesized in aqueous solution as a nanodrug for potential use in thermally driven and controlled photodynamic therapy applications. The aqueous solution of the nanosystem has demonstrated excellent stability in terms of aggregation and sedimentation several days after preparation. Optimal concentrations of the components of hybrid nanosystem providing the lowest level of aggregation and the highest plasmonic enhancement of electronic processes in the photosensitizer molecules have been determined. It has been revealed that the shrinking of D-g-PNIPAM macromolecule during a thermally induced phase transition leads to the release of both ZnTPP molecules and Au NPs from the ZnTPP/D-g-PNIPAM/AuNPs macromolecule and the strengthening of plasmonic enhancement of the electronic processes in ZnTPP molecules bound with the polymer macromolecule. The 2.7-fold enhancement of singlet oxygen photogeneration under resonant with surface plasmon resonance has been observed for ZnTPP/D-g-PNIPAM/AuNPs proving the plasmon nature of such effect. The data obtained in vitro on wild strains of Staphylococcus aureus have proved the high potential of such nanosystem for rapid photodynamic inactivation of microorganisms particular in wounds or ulcers on the body surface.

Abstract
Owing to their preservative and antimicrobial effects, postbiotics (metabolic byproducts of probiotics) are promising natural components for the food industry. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the efficacy of postbiotics collected from isolated Lactobacillus curvatus B.67 and Lactobacillus plantarum M.2 against Listeria monocytogenes pathogens in planktonic cells, motility, and biofilm states. The analysis of the metabolite composition of the postbiotics revealed various organic acids, along with a few well-known bacteriocin-encoding genes with potential antimicrobial effects. Postbiotics maintained their residual antimicrobial activity over the pH range 1-6 but lost all activity at neutral pH (pH 7). Full antimicrobial activity (100%) was observed during heat treatment, even under the autoclaving condition.Minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs) of L. curvatus B.67 and L. plantarum M.2 against L. monocytogenes were 80 and 70 mg/mL, respectively. However, four sub-MICs of the postbiotics (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/16 MIC) were tested for inhibition efficacy against L. monocytogenes during different experiment in this study. Swimming motility, biofilm formation, and expression levels of target genes related to biofilm formation, virulence, and quorum-sensing were significantly inhibited with increasing postbiotics concentration. Postbiotics from L. plantarum M.2 exhibited a higher inhibitory effect than the postbiotics from L. curvatus B.67. Nonetheless, both these postbiotics from Lactobacillus spp. could be used as effective bio-interventions for controlling L. monocytogenes biofilm in the food industry.

Abstract
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is one of the lactic acid bacteria species most used as probiotics and starter cultures in food production. Bacteriocin-producers Lpb. plantarum are also promising natural food preservatives. This study aimed to characterize Lpb. plantarum R23 and its bacteriocins (R23 bacteriocins). The genome sequence of Lpb. plantarum R23 was obtained by whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in an Illumina NovaSeq platform. The activity of Lpb. plantarum R23-produced bacteriocin against two Listeria monocytogenes strains (L7946 and L7947) was evaluated, and its molecular size was determined by tricine-SDS-PAGE. No virulence or antibiotic resistance genes were detected. Four 100% identical proteins to the class II bacteriocins (Plantaricin E, Plantaricin F, Pediocin PA-1 (Pediocin AcH), and Coagulin A) were found by WGS analysis. The small (<6.5 kDa) R23 bacteriocins were stable at different pH values (ranging from 2 to 8), temperatures (between 4 and 100 °C), detergents (all, except Triton X-100 and Triton X-114 at 0.01 g/mL), and enzymes (catalase and α-amylase), did not adsorb to the producer cells, had a bacteriostatic mode of action and their maximum activity (AU/mL = 12,800) against two L. monocytogenes strains occurred between 15 and 21 h of Lpb. plantarum R23 growth. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum R23 showed to be a promising bio-preservative culture because, besides being safe, it produces a stable bacteriocin or bacteriocins (harbors genes encoding for the production of four) inhibiting pathogens as L. monocytogenes. Further studies in different food matrices are required to confirm this hypothesis and its suitability as a future starter culture.

Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes is a major foodborne pathogen that adversely affects the food industry. In this study, 6 anti-listerial lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolates were screened. These anti-listerial LAB isolates were identified via 16S rRNA gene sequencing and analyzed via repetitive extragenic palindromic-PCR. Probiotic assessment of these isolates, comprising an evaluation of the antibiotic susceptibility, tolerance to lysozyme, simulated gastric and intestinal juices, and gut conditions (low pH, bile salts, and 0.4% phenol), was carried out. Most of the isolates were resistant to streptomycin, vancomycin, gentamycin, kanamycin, and ciprofloxacin. All of the isolates were negative for virulence genes, including agg, ccf, cylA, cylB, cylLL, cylLS, cylM, esp, and gelE, and hemolytic activity. Furthermore, autoinducer-2 (a quorum-sensing molecule) was detected and quantified via HPLC with fluorescence detection after derivatization with 2,3-diaminonaphthalene. Metabolites profiles of the Lactobacillus sakei D.7 and Lactobacillus plantarum I.60 were observed and presented various organic acids linked with antibacterial activity. Moreover, freeze-dried cell-free supernatants from Lb. sakei (55 mg/mL) and Lb. plantarum (40 mg/mL) showed different minimum effective concentration (MEC) against L. monocytogenes in the food model (whole milk). In summary, these anti-listerial LAB isolates do not pose a risk to consumer health, are eco-friendly, and may be promising candidates for future use as bioprotective cultures and new probiotics to control contamination by L. monocytogenes in the food and dairy industries.

In the US, sodium nitrate is used as a preservative and curing agent in processed meats and is therefore a regulated ingredient. Nitrate reducing bacteria (NRB) can convert vegetable nitrate into nitrite allowing green/clean label status in the US as per the USDA-FSIS definition of ‘natural nitrite’. The current ‘in-liquid’ test tube assay for detecting nitrite is not suitable for screening mixtures of bacteria nor is commercial nitrate broth suitable for growth of many Gram (+) bacteria. M17 broth was therefore used to develop M17-nitrate broth to be inclusive of Gram (+) bacteria. An ‘on-agar’ colony-screening assay was developed to detect the conversion of nitrate to nitrite on agar plates and could detect one NRB+ colony among ~300–500 colonies on a single plate. Samples that might have NRB were spread-plated on M17 agar plates, sandwiched with nitrate agar, and after incubation followed with sequential agar overlays containing the reagents used in the nitrate reduction assay; the appearance of red color zones above colonies indicated the presence of nitrite. NRB derived from various samples were confirmed for nitrate conversion and both nitrate and nitrite were quantified by C8 reversed-phase (RP) ion-pairing high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis (1 ppm limit of detection). Staphylococcus carnosus, a strain commonly used for nitrate reduction, was able to convert 1100 ppm M17-nitrate broth to 917 ppm nitrite. Staphylococcus caprae and Panteoa agglomerans, NRB isolated using the M17-nitrate agar assay, were also able to ferment the same broth to 916 ppm and 867 ppm nitrite, respectively. This is the first report of an on-agar colony screening assay for the detection and isolation of nitrite reducing bacteria allowing NRB to be readily isolated. This may allow for the identification of new bacteria that may have a more efficient process to generate nitrite, and possibly concomitant with production of additional natural antimicrobials, as vegetable nitrite becomes more widely used to prevent spore germination.

Clusters of Lactobacillus Strains from Vegetal Origins Are Associated with Beneficial Functions: Experimental Data and Statistical Interpretations. Foods 2020; 9:E985. [PMID: 32722025 PMCID: PMC7466302 DOI: 10.3390/foods9080985] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2020] [Revised: 07/17/2020] [Accepted: 07/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Nine strains of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and one strain of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei that were recently isolated from prickly pears, fresh figs and blackberries, which are traditionally and largely consumed fruits in Kabylia (north of Algeria), were studied here for their antagonism and antioxidant properties as well as for production of exopolysaccharides. With respect to their inhibitory properties, these strains were tested against three food representative pathogens including Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, Staphylococcus aureus 2S6 and Listeria monocytogenes 162. The antagonism of these pathogens was attributable to lactic acid production, present in the cell free supernatant, at concentrations ranging from 9 to 16.74 g/L. The anti-adhesive properties observed on polystyrene or eukaryotic Caco-2 cells were exerted in a strain dependent-manner. Indeed, the scores obtained ranged from 27% to 75% for S. aureus 2S6, 54% to 95% for L. monocytogenes 162, and 50% to 97% for E. coli ATCC 8739. The co-aggregation of these Lactobacillus strains with the aforementioned target bacteria appeared to be exerted in a strain-dependent manner, with noticeably the upmost rate for Lb. paracasei FB1 on S. aureus 2S6. Interestingly, these novel Lactobacillus strains were able to produce a large amount (315.55 to 483.22 mg/L) of exopolysaccharides, and showed a significant scavenging activity on the 2,2-di-phényl-2-picrylhydrazyle (DPPH) synthetic free radical with rates of 51% to 56%. Of note, the highest antioxidant activity was observed for Lb. paracasei FB1 using the culture supernatants, intact cells or the intracellular extract. The statistical analysis of these data using the principal component analysis (ACP) enabled us to establish three distinct clusters with potential applications as bioprotective and/or probiotic agents, following further evaluation.
