Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the greatest challenges in using Lactobacillus acidophilus as a probiotic is acid stress. The current research aimed to identify substances that help L. acidophilus resist acid stress; this was achieved through assessing its nutrient consumption patterns under various pH conditions. RESULTS The consumption rates of alanine, uracil, adenine, guanine, niacin, and manganese were consistently higher than 60% for L. acidophilus LA-5 cultured at pH 5.8, 4.9, and 4.4. The consumption rates of glutamic acid + glutamine and thiamine increased with decreasing pH and were higher than 60% at pH 4.9 and 4.4. The viable counts of L. acidophilus LA-5 were significantly increased under the corresponding acidic stress conditions (pH 4.9 and 4.4) through the appropriate addition of either alanine (3.37 and 2.81 mmol L-1), glutamic acid + glutamine (4.77 mmol L-1), guanine (0.13 and 0.17 mmol L-1), niacin (0.02 mmol L-1), thiamine (0.009 mmol L-1), or manganese (0.73 and 0.64 mmol L-1) (P < 0.05). The viable counts of L. acidophilus LA-5 cultured in a medium supplemented with combined nutritional factors was 1.02-1.03-fold of the counts observed in control medium under all acid conditions (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Alanine, glutamic acid + glutamine, guanine, niacin, thiamine, and manganese can improve the growth of L. acidophilus LA-5 in an acidic environment in the present study. The results will contribute to optimizing strategies to enhance the acid resistance of L. acidophilus and expand its application in the fermentation industry. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Park SM, Rhee MS. Novel hypothesis for infant methemoglobinemia: Survival and metabolism of nitrite-producers from vegetables under gastrointestinal stress and intestinal adhesion. Food Res Int 2024; 190:114582. [PMID: 38945602 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114582] [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: 03/03/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024]
Abstract
Infants have digestive environments that are more favorable for microbial proliferation and subsequent endogenous nitrite production than those of adults, but direct evidence of this has been lacking. In this study, we propose a novel epidemiology of infant methemoglobinemia by demonstrating the risk posed by nitrite-producers in the gastrointestinal tract. Nitrite-producers from vegetables (n = 323) were exposed to stress factors of the gastrointestinal environment (gastric pH, intestinal bile salts, anaerobic atmosphere) reflecting 4 different postnatal age periods (Neonate, ≤1 month; Infant A, 1-3 months; Infant B, 3-6 months; Infant C, 6-12 months). "High-risk" strains with a nitrate-to-nitrite conversion rate of ≥1.3 %, the minimum rate corresponding to nitrite overproduction, under the Neonate stress condition were analyzed for intestinal adhesion. Among all the phyla, Pseudomonadota achieved the highest survival (P < 0.05; survival rate of 51.3-71.8 %). Possible cross-protection against bile resistance due to acid shock was observed for all the phyla. All the high-risk strains exhibited moderate autoaggregation (14.0-36.4 %), whereas only a few exhibited satisfactory surface hydrophobicity (>40 %). The Pantoea agglomerans strain strongly adhered to Caco-2 cells (7.4 ± 1.1 %). This study showed the ability of the Pantoea, Enterobacter, and Klebsiella strains to survive under gastrointestinal stress for ≤12 months, to excessively produce nitrite under neonatal stress conditions, and to settle in the human intestine. To our knowledge, this is the first study to reveal the role of the natural flora of vegetables in the epidemiology of infant methemoglobinemia through a multilateral approach.

Giordano I, Pasolli E, Mauriello G. Transcriptomic analysis reveals differential gene expression patterns of Lacticaseibacillus casei ATCC 393 in response to ultrasound stress. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 107:106939. [PMID: 38843696 PMCID: PMC11214525 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106939] [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: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/19/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in modulating the performance of probiotic, mainly Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), in the field of probiotic food. Attenuation, induced by sub-lethal stresses, delays the probiotic metabolism, and induces a metabolic shift as survival strategy. In this paper, RNA sequencing was used to uncover the transcriptional regulation in Lacticaseibacillus casei ATCC 393 after ultrasound-induced attenuation. Six (T) and 8 (ST) min of sonication induced a significant differential expression of 742 and 409 genes, respectively. We identified 198 up-regulated and 321 down-regulated genes in T, and similarly 321 up-regulated and 249 down-regulated in ST. These results revealed a strong defensive response at 6 min, followed by adaptation at 8 min. Ultrasound attenuation modified the expression of genes related to a series of crucial biomolecular processes including membrane transport, carbohydrate and purine metabolism, phage-related genes, and translation. Specifically, genes encoding PTS transporters and genes involved in the glycolytic pathway and pyruvate metabolism were up-regulated, indicating an increased need for energy supply, as also suggested by an increase in the transcription of purine biosynthetic genes. Instead, protein translation, a high-energy process, was inhibited with the down-regulation of ribosomal protein biosynthetic genes. Moreover, phage-related genes were down-regulated suggesting a tight transcriptional control on DNA structure. The observed phenomena highlight the cell need of ATP to cope with the multiple ultrasound stresses and the activation of processes to stabilize and preserve the DNA structure. Our work demonstrates that ultrasound has remarkable effects on the tested strain and elucidates the involvement of different pathways in its defensive stress-response and in the modification of its phenotype.

Abstract
In order to improve the flavor profiles, food security, probiotic effects and shorten the fermentation period of traditional fermented foods, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were often considered as the ideal candidate to participate in the fermentation process. In general, LAB strains possessed the ability to develop flavor compounds via carbohydrate metabolism, protein hydrolysis and amino acid metabolism, lipid hydrolysis and fatty acid metabolism. Based on the functional properties to inhibit spoilage microbes, foodborne pathogens and fungi, those species could improve the safety properties and prolong the shelf life of fermented products. Meanwhile, influence of LAB on texture and functionality of fermented food were also involved in this review. As for the adverse effect carried by environmental challenges during fermentation process, engineering strategies based on exogenous addition, cross protection, and metabolic engineering to improve the robustness and of LAB were also discussed in this review. Besides, this review also summarized the potential strategies including microbial co-culture and metabolic engineering for improvement of fermentation performance in LAB strains. The authors hope this review could contribute to provide an understanding and insight into improving the industrial functionalities of LAB.

Adaptive laboratory evolution of Naematelia aurantialba under high temperature for efficient production of exopolysaccharide. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 263:130425.

Abstract
Liquid fermentation could revolutionize mushroom polysaccharide production, but the low temperature constraint hampers the process. This study implemented adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) to enhance the thermotolerance of Naematelia aurantialba strains and increase expolysaccharide production. After 75 ALE cycles at 30 °C, the adaptive strain surpassed the wild-type strain by 5 °C. In a 7.5 L fermentor at 30 °C, the ALE strain yielded 17 % more exopolysaccharide than the wild type strain at 25 °C. Although the exopolysaccharide synthesized by both strains shares a consistent monosaccharide composition, infrared spectrum, and glycosidic bond composition, the ALE strain's exopolysaccharide has a larger molecular weight. Furthermore, the ALE strain's exopolysaccharide exhibits superior cryoprotection performance compared to that produced by the original strain. The adapted strain demonstrated lower ROS levels and increased activity of antioxidant enzymes, indicating improved performance. Fatty acid profiling and transcriptomics revealed reconfiguration of carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and membrane lipid synthesis in thermophilic strains, maintaining cellular homeostasis and productivity. This study provides efficient strains and fermentation methods for high-temperature mushroom polysaccharide production, reducing energy consumption and costs.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) hold significant importance in diverse fields, including food technology, industrial biotechnology, and medicine. As basic components of starter cultures, probiotics, immunomodulators, and live vaccines, LAB cells resist a variety of stressors, including temperature fluctuations, osmotic and pH shocks, exposure to oxidants and ultraviolet radiation, substrate deprivation, mechanical damage, and more. To stay alive in these adversities, LAB employ a wide range of stress response strategies supported by various mechanisms, for example rearrangement of metabolism, expression of specialized biomolecules (e.g., chaperones and antioxidants), exopolysaccharide synthesis, and complex repair and regulatory systems. LAB can coordinate responses to various stressors using global regulators. In this review, we summarize current knowledge about stress response strategies used by LAB and consider mechanisms of response to specific stressful factors, supported by illustrative examples. In addition, we discuss technical approaches to increase the stress resistance of LAB, including pre-adaptation, genetic modification of strains, and adjustment of cultivation conditions. A critical analysis of the recent findings in this field augments comprehension of stress tolerance mechanisms in LAB, paving the way for prospective research directions with implications in fundamental and practical areas.

Abstract
The prerequisite for lactic acid bacteria to perform their probiotic function is that they could survive the acid-stressed environment of production and application. In this experiment, the protective mechanism of milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) proteins on lactic acid bacteria under acid stress was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy and fluorescence probe were used to analyze the condition of the acid-treated bacteria, which showed that MFGM proteins could enhance the survival ability of Lactobacillus acidophilus CICC 6074 under acid stress by maintaining cell morphology, elevating intracellular pH and H+-ATPase activity. Furthermore, Tandem Mass Tags (TMT) proteomic analysis revealed that MFGM protein could exert protective effects on L. acidophilus CICC 6074 by regulating amino acid metabolism, ATPase activity, peptidoglycan synthesis, gene repair and heritage, etc. The results will provide a new approach for the protection and development of functional lactic acid bacteria.

Abstract
Capsaicin stress, along with salt stress, could be considered the main stressors for lactic acid bacteria in traditional fermented pepper products. Until now, insufficient attention has been paid to salt stress, while the effect of capsaicin on the aroma-producing properties of Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) is unclear. The present study attempted to illustrate the effect of capsaicin stress on the aroma-producing properties of L. plantarum CL-01 isolated from traditionally fermented peppers based on E-nose and GC-IMS. The results showed that E-nose could clearly distinguish the overall flavor differences of L. plantarum CL-01 under capsaicin stress. A total of 48 volatile compounds (VOCs) were characterized by means of GC-IMS, and the main VOCs belonged to acids and alcohols. Capsaicin stress significantly promoted L. plantarum CL-01 to produce alpha-pinene, ethyl crotonate, isobutyric acid, trans-2-pentenal, 2-methyl-1-butanol, 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol, 1-penten-3-one, 2-pentanone, 3-methyl-1-butanol-D, and 2-heptanone (p < 0.05). In addition, under capsaicin stress, the contents of 1-penten-3-one, 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol, 5-methylfurfuryl alcohol, isobutanol, 2-furanmethanethiol, 2,2,4,6,6-pentamethylheptane, 1-propanethiol, diethyl malonate, acetic acid, beta-myrcene, 2-pentanone, ethyl acetate, trans-2-pentenal, 2-methylbutyl acetate, and 2-heptanone produced by L. plantarum CL-01 were significantly increased along with the fermentation time (p < 0.05). Furthermore, some significant correlations were observed between the response values of specific E-nose sensors and effective VOCs.

Abstract
The prerequisite for the probiotic effect of lactic acid bacteria is that they could survive the acid stress environment of production and application. In this experiment, the mechanism for the effect of different metal ion pre-stress on the acid-tolerant survival of Lactobacillus was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier infrared spectroscopy, and flow cytometry were used to analyze the condition of bacteria after acid treatment, which revealed that different metal ion pre-stress could improve the survival ability of Lactobacillus acidophilus CICC 6074 under low acid conditions by improving cell morphology, mitigating cell membrane damage, and regulating surface protein expression. Furthermore, Tandem Mass Tags (TMT) proteomic analysis revealed that Mn2+ pre-stress showed relatively more superior protective effects on acid tolerance in L. acidophilus CICC 6074 through activation of DNA replication, RNA synthesis, S-layer protein secretion, H+-ATPase enzyme activity, etc. This study will provide new ideas and a theoretical basis for the development and application of lactic acid bacteria.

A review of Spaulding's classification system for effective cleaning, disinfection and sterilization of reusable medical devices: Viewed through a modern-day lens that will inform and enable future sustainability. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 878:162976. [PMID: 36963674 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.162976] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
Despite advances in medicine and innovations in many underpinning fields including disease prevention and control, the Spaulding classification system, originally proposed in 1957, remains widely used for defining the disinfection and sterilization of contaminated re-usable medical devices and surgical instruments. Screening PubMed and Scopus databases using a PRISMA guiding framework generated 272 relevant publications that were used in this review. Findings revealed that there is a need to evolve how medical devices are designed, and processed by cleaning, disinfection (and/or sterilization) to mitigate patient risks, including acquiring an infection. This Spaulding Classification remains in use as it is logical, easily applied and understood by users (microbiologists, epidemiologists, manufacturers, industry) and by regulators. However, substantial changes have occurred over the past 65 years that challenge interpretation and application of this system that includes inter alia emergence of new pathogens (viruses, mycobacteria, protozoa, fungi), a greater understanding of innate and adaptive microbial tolerance to disinfection, toxicity risks, increased number of vulnerable patients and associated patient procedures, and greater complexity in design and use of medical devices. Common cited examples include endoscopes that enable non- or minimal invasive procedures but are highly sophisticated with various types of materials (polymers, electronic components etc), long narrow channels, right angle and heat-sensitive components and various accessories (e.g., values) that can be contaminated with high levels of microbial bioburden and patient tissues after use. Contaminated flexible duodenoscopes have been a source of several significant infection outbreaks, where at least 9 reported cases were caused by multidrug resistant organisms [MDROs] with no obvious breach in processing detected. Despite this, there is evidence of the lack of attention to cleaning and maintenance of these devices and associated equipment. Over the last few decades there is increasing genomic evidence of innate and adaptive resistance to chemical disinfectant methods along with adaptive tolerance to environmental stresses. To reduce these risks, it has been proposed to elevate classification of higher-risk flexible endoscopes (such as duodenoscopes) from semi-critical [contact with mucous membrane and intact skin] to critical use [contact with sterile tissue and blood] that entails a transition to using low-temperature sterilization modalities instead of routinely using high-level disinfection; thus, increasing the margin of safety for endoscope processing. This timely review addresses important issues surrounding use of the Spaulding classification system to meet modern-day needs. It specifically addresses the need for automated, robust cleaning and drying methods combined with using real-time monitoring of device processing. There is a need to understand entire end-to-end processing of devices instead of adopting silo approaches that in the future will be informed by artificial intelligence and deep-learning/machine learning. For example, combinational solutions that address the formation of complex biofilms that harbour pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms on the surfaces of processed devices. Emerging trends are addressed including future sustainability for the medical devices sector that can be enabled via a new Quintuple Helix Hub approach that combines academia, industry, healthcare, regulators, and society to unlock real world solutions.

Response of nitrite accumulation to elevated C/NO- 3-N ratio during partial denitrification process: Insights of extracellular polymeric substance, microbial community and metabolic function. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023:129269. [PMID: 37290706 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.129269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 05/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
This study investigated the response of nitrite accumulation to elevated COD/NO3--N ratio (C/N) during partial denitrification (PD). Results indicated nitrite was gradually accumulated and remained stable (C/N = 1.5 ∼ 3.0), while that rapidly declined after reaching the peak (C/N = 4.0 ∼ 5.0). The polysaccharide (PS) and protein (PN) content of tightly-bound extracellular polymeric substances (TB-EPS) reached the maximum at C/N of 2.5 ∼ 3.0, which might be stimulated by high level of nitrite. Illumina MiSeq sequencing showed Thauera and OLB8 were dominated denitrifying genera at C/N of 1.5 ∼ 3.0, while Thauera was further enriched with fading OLB8 at C/N of 4.0 ∼ 5.0. Meanwhile, the highly-enriched Thauera might enhance the activity of nitrite reductase (nirK) promoting further nitrite reduction. Redundancy analysis (RDA) showed positive correlations between nitrite production and PN content of TB-EPS, denitrifying bacteria (Thauera and OLB8) and nitrate reductases (narG/H/I) in low C/N. Finally, their synergistic effects for driving nitrite accumulation were comprehensively elucidated.

Abstract
The promotion of human health through natural approaches like functional foods and probiotics is in high demand. The medicinal plants are the major feed of Moroccan dromedary, which improves the functional properties of their milk. A few studies have reported the probiotic and functional aptitudes of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) of this milk. In this context, our study aimed to identify LAB isolated from Moroccan raw camel milk and investigate their probiotic features and their fermentation profile. The molecular identification of twelve isolates indicated that they belong to Pediococcus pentosaceus, Enterococcus faecium, and Enterococcus durans. All LAB strains displayed high tolerance to gastrointestinal conditions (survival rate of 31.85-96.52% in pH 2.5, 35.23-99.05% in 0.3 bile salts, and 26.9-90.96% in pepsin), strong attachment abilities (auto-aggregation and hydrophobicity ranged from 28.75 to 95.9% and from 80.47 to 96.37%, respectively), and high co-aggregation ability with pathogenic bacteria. Importantly, they did not present antibiotic resistance or hemolytic activity. Our LAB strains demonstrated antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Salmonella enterica. Moreover, they could acidify cow milk (ΔpH of 2.55 after 24 h) and improve its antioxidant ability (inhibition of 36.77% of DPPH). Based on the multivariate analysis, Pediococcus pentosaceus Pd24, Pd29, Pd38, Enterococcus faecium Ef18, and Enterococcus durans Ed22 were selected as the most promising probiotics. Therefore, we propose that Pediococcus pentosaceus isolated from camel milk could be used as potential probiotic strains and/or starter cultures in functional milk fermentation.

Abstract
Electrospray (ES) is a new non-thermal processing technology for pasteurising liquid foods. This study aimed to investigate the effects of ES on the cell structure and function of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and then compare the effects of ES and heat treatment (HT) on microbial inactivation and flavour composition in honey raspberry wine. First, we found that the inactivation effect of ES treatment on the three microorganisms was significantly influenced by the voltage intensity. The degree of damage to the cellular structures and functions of the three microorganisms increased with increasing voltage. Second, the environment in which the microorganisms were present significantly influenced the ES pasteurisation effect. Pasteurisation by ES was better when the three microorganisms were in honey raspberry wine than in saline. Finally, the total number of colonies in honey raspberry wine was reduced from 4.50 to 2.03 log colony forming units/mL after ES treatment, and the wine had good stability during storage (84 days at 4 °C). In the honey raspberry wine, the contents of the main flavour substances (ketones and esters) did not change significantly after ES treatment, but HT decreased the content of esters and ketones by 13.5 % and 75.4 %, respectively.

Abstract
While formulating a probiotic food, it is mandatory to make sure that the viability of probiotics is adequate at the point of consumption, which can be strongly compromised by stressful conditions due to low pH and high osmolarity. In this study, three probiotic lactobacilli were subjected to different pre-adaptation conditions, and the turbidimetric growth kinetics in challenging conditions (pH 4.0-6.5, NaCl 1-7%, sucrose 0.1-0.7 M) were evaluated. Different effects were observed for Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lacticaseibacillus casei, and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum. Indeed, pre-exposition to sub-optimal conditions in terms of pH and % NaCl significantly improved the ability of L. acidophilus and L. casei to overcome the osmotic stress due to salt or sucrose, and similar effects were observed for acidic stress. L. plantarum showed to be more tolerant to the challenging conditions applied in this study. Anyway, the pre-adaptation at conditions SUB_1 (pH 4.5 and NaCl 4%) and SUB_2 (pH 5 and NaCl 2%) speeded-up its growth kinetics by reducing the length of the lag phase under sucrose stress and enhancing the maximum growth rate at the highest pH tested. Moreover, an improvement in biomass amount was observed under sucrose stress. The whole data evidenced that the application of the appropriate pre-adaptation condition could contribute to making probiotics more robust towards challenging conditions due to food matrix, processing, and storage as well as gastrointestinal transit. Further studies will be necessary to gain insight into the proteomics and metabolomics responsible for increased tolerance to stressful conditions.

Abstract
Glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) pathway (GDP) is a major acid resistance mechanism enabling microorganisms' survival in low pH environments. We aimed to study the molecular evolution and population genetics of GDP in Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) to understand evolutionary processes shaping adaptation to acidic environments comparing species where the GDP genes are organized in an operon structure (Levilactobacillus brevis) versus lack of an operon structure (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum). Within species molecular population genetic analyses of GDP genes in L. brevis and L. plantarum sampled from diverse fermented food and other environments showed abundant synonymous and non-synonymous nucleotide diversity, mostly driven by low frequency changes, distributed throughout the coding regions for all genes in both species. GAD genes showed higher level of replacement polymorphism compared to transporter genes (gadC and YjeM) for both species, and GAD genes that are outside of an operon structure showed even higher level of replacement polymorphism. Population genetic tests suggest negative selection against replacement changes in all genes. Molecular structure and amino acid characteristics analyses showed that in none of the GDP genes replacement changes alter 3D structure or charge distribution supporting negative selection against non-conservative amino acid changes. Phylogenetic and between species divergence analyses suggested adaptive protein evolution on GDP genes comparing phylogenetically distant species, but conservative evolution comparing closely related species. GDP genes within an operon structure showed slower molecular evolution and higher conservation. All GAD and transporter genes showed high codon usage bias in examined LAB species suggesting high expression and utilization of acid resistance genes. Substantial discordances between species, GAD, and transporter gene tree topologies were observed suggesting molecular evolution of GDP genes do not follow speciation events. Distribution of operon structure on the species tree suggested multiple independent gain or loss of operon structure in LABs. In conclusion, GDP genes in LABs exhibit a dynamic molecular evolutionary history shaped by gene loss, gene transfer, negative and positive selection to maintain its active role in acid resistance mechanism, and enable organisms to thrive in acidic environments.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pulsed electric field (PEF) pre-treatment of a dairy starter culture of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus LB186 and Streptococcus thermophilus ST504 on the fermentation and final product characteristics of set-style yogurt. The effects of PEF treatment parameters, voltage (4-20 kV), pulse number (20-80 pulses), frequency (1-21 Hz), and pulse (5-8 µs) width on pH development, cell counts, and proteolytic activity, as well as on texture and degree of syneresis in yogurt were investigated by use of a two-level full factorial design. Pulse frequency and pulse width had a significant effect on the yogurt stiffness (p < 0.05) and the interaction of voltage and frequency had a significant effect on both stiffness and proteolytic activity (p < 0.05). Further experiments confirmed that pre-treatment of the dairy culture with specific PEF parameters immediately before addition to milk could accelerate fermentation of, increase stiffness of, and reduce syneresis in the final yogurt. This effect of the PEF-pre-treated culture was partially retained even after flash-freezing and 14 days of storage of the culture at -20 °C. The effects were attributed to responses to oxidative stress induced by the PEF pre-treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spray drying is the most cost-effective production method for lactic acid bacteria starters, but heat and oxidative stresses result in low survival rates. The heat stress and oxidative stress tolerance of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus cultured in tryptone-free MRS (NP-MRS) broth was much stronger than that in MRS or tryptone-free MRS broth supplemented with phenylalanine (Phe-MRS). Here, multiple transcriptome-phenotype matching was performed on cells cultured in NP-MRS, MRS and Phe-MRS broths to reveal the mechanism by which nitrogen sources influence L. rhamnosus tolerance to heat stress and oxidative stress. RESULTS Compared with cells cultured in NP-MRS broth, 83 overlapping differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were downregulated by either tryptone or phenylalanine. The overlapping DEGs were mainly classified into carbohydrate metabolism and membrane transport pathways, which are often repressed by glucose during carbon catabolite repression (CCR). In the presence of glucose, the heat stress or oxidative stress tolerance of L. rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 was not strengthened by supplementation with secondary carbohydrates. Replacing glucose with mannose, fructose or ribose improved the heat stress and oxidative stress tolerance of L. rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 (5 to 46-fold). CONCLUSIONS Alleviation of CCR might be a reason for the resistance of L. rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 to heat stress and oxidative stress in a low-nitrogen environment. The survival rate of L. rhamnosus during spray drying will hopefully be improved by relieving CCR. It is a new discovery that nitrogen sources influence CCR in L. rhamnosus.

Abstract
Lacticaseibacillus paracasei SMN-LBK, which was isolated in Xinjiang, has been shown to be a probiotic strain and used as the auxiliary starter for dairy fermentation. Comparative genomic analysis was performed to investigate the metabolic preference and ethanol tolerance mechanisms of L. paracasei SMN-LBK. The results of comparative genomics showed that L. paracasei strains had high conservation and genetic diversity. SMN-LBK encoded various genes related to carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism pathways, which endow this strain with good fermentation potential. In addition, 6 CRISPR sequences and 8 cas proteins were found in SMN-LBK, and these could play vital roles in the immune system. Furthermore, a unique cluster of potential secondary metabolism genes related to bacteriocins was detected in the genome of SMN-LBK, and this could be important for the preservation of fermented foods. Multiple genes related to alcohol tolerance were also identified. In conclusion, our study explained the traits that were previously demonstrated for SMN-LBK as phenotypes and provided a theoretical basis for the application of SMN-LBK in the food industry.

Abstract
It has been found that 32 genes related to nitrogen source metabolism in Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus are downregulated under both heat stress and oxidative stress. In this study, the influence of different nitrogen sources within the growth medium on the tolerance of L. rhamnosus to heat stress and oxidative stress was investigated. Tryptone-free MRS was found to enhance the tolerance of L. rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 to heat stress and oxidative stress during the whole growth period, and this result was universal for all L. rhamnosus species analyzed. The strongest strengthening effect occurred when the OD600 value reached 2.0, at which the survival rates under heat stress and oxidative stress increased 130-fold and 40-fold, respectively. After supplementing phenylalanine, isoleucine, glutamate, valine, histidine, or tryptophan into the tryptone-free MRS, the tolerance of L. rhamnosus to heat stress and oxidative stress exhibited a sharp drop. The spray drying survival rate of L. rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 cultured in the tryptone-free MRS rose to 75% (from 30%), and the spray dried powder also performed better in the experimentally simulated gastrointestinal digestion. These results showed that decreasing the intake of amino acids is an important mechanism for L. rhamnosus to tolerate heat stress and oxidative stress. When L. rhamnosus is cultured for spray drying, the concentration of the nitrogen source's components should be an important consideration.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of two probiotics, namely Lactobacillus paracasei and Bifidobacterium longum, as feed additives on growth performance, nonspecific immunity, immune-related gene expression, and disease resistance against Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Penaeus vannamei. The experimental diets were prepared using L. paracasei and B. longum at concentrations of 105 and 107 CFU/g; these diets were referred to as P5, P7, B5, and B7. After 8 weeks of the diets, regarding growth performance, the B7 group showed the highest weight gain rate (890.34 ± 103.65%), special growth rate (4.08 ± 0.19%), and feed conversion rate (1.52 ± 0.19%) compared with the other groups. Moreover, the total hemocyte counts were significantly increased (p < 0.05) in the P7 groups on day 14 during the 28-day feeding trial. The phagocytosis rate in all experimental groups was increased on day 14 and was persistently significantly activated to day 21, especially in the P7 and B5 group. The phagocytic index of the P7 group showed a significant increase on day 14 and persistent activation to day 21. In the analysis of respiratory burst activity and phenoloxidase activity, the P7 and B5 groups showed a significant increase on day 7 and persistent activation to day 21. The expression level of the immune-related genes of superoxide dismutase, clotting protein, Penaeidin2, Penaeidin3, Penaeidin4, anti-LPS factor, crustin, and lysozyme was significantly increased in the experimental groups, especially in the P7 group. Furthermore, the optimum conditions of feed additives were determined in challenge trials conducted using P7 and B5. Shrimps fed P7 and B5 showed an increased survival rate (72.73% and 66.67%) after the V. parahaemolyticus challenge. In sum, the results revealed that B. longum, as a feed additive at 107 CFU/g, enhanced growth performance. L. paracasei at 107 CFU/g and B. longum at 105 CFU/g can enhance nonspecific immune responses and immune-related gene expression, and 107 CFU/g L. paracasei has the highest resistance ability for V. parahaemolyticus. Thus, dietary supplementation with L. paracasei and B. longum may be a valuable approach in white shrimp aquaculture.

Padilla P, Estévez M, Andrade MJ, Peña FJ, Delgado J. Proteomics reveal the protective effects of chlorogenic acid on Enterococcus faecium Q233 in a simulated pro-oxidant colonic environment. Food Res Int 2022; 157:111464. [PMID: 35761697 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2022.111464] [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: 03/28/2022] [Revised: 05/29/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Certain phytochemicals have been found to promote the beneficial effects of probiotic bacteria although the molecular mechanisms of such interactions are poorly understood. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the impact of the exposure to 0.5 mM chlorogenic acid (CA) on the redox status and proteome of Enterococcus faecium isolated from cheese and challenged with 2.5 mM hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The bacterium was incubated in anaerobic conditions for 48 h at 37 °C. CA exposure led to a more intense oxidative stress and accretion of bacterial protein carbonyls than those induced by H2O2. The oxidative damage to bacterial proteins was even more severe in the bacterium treated with both CA and H2O2, yet, such combination led to a strengthening of the antioxidant defenses, namely, a catalase-like activity. The proteomic study indicated that H2O2 caused a decrease in energy supply and the bacterium responded by reinforcing the membrane and wall structures and counteracting the redox and pH imbalance. CA stimulated the accretion of proteins related to translation and transcription regulators, and hydrolases. This phytochemical was able to counteract certain proteomic changes induced by H2O2 (i.e. increase of ATP binding cassete (ABC) transporter complex) and cause the increase of Rex, a redox-sensitive protein implicated in controlling metabolism and responses to oxidative stress. Although this protection should be confirmed under in vivo conditions, such effects point to benefits in animals or humans affected by disorders in which oxidative stress plays a major role.

Abstract
Antifreeze peptides can protect cell membranes and maintain the cell viability of probiotics under cold stress. Given this, antifreeze peptides were prepared from tilapia processing byproducts of tilapia skin by enzymolysis using the response surface methodology (RSM) method. The cryoprotective effects on Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus ATCC7469 were investigated. Trypsin was selected as the protease for tilapia skin hydrolysis. The optimal hydrolysis conditions consisted of the amount of enzyme (2200 U/g), solid–liquid ratio (1:10, w/v), reaction temperature (49 °C), and reaction time (6.8 h), and the relative survival rate of L. rhamnosus reached 98.32%. Molecular weight (Mw) distribution and peptide sequences of the antifreeze peptides prepared from tilapia skin (APT) under the optimal conditions were analyzed. APT significantly reduced the leakage of extracellular proteins and protected β-galactosidase and lactate dehydrogenase activities of L. rhamnosus. Compared with the saline group, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation showed that cells had a more normal, smooth, and entire surface under the protection of APT. These findings indicate that APT can be a new cryoprotectant in preserving probiotics.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are involved in producing a considerable number of fermented products consumed worldwide. Many of those LAB fermented foods are recognized as beneficial for human health due to probiotic LAB or their metabolites produced during food fermentation or after food digestion. In this review, we aim to gather and discuss available information on the health-related effects of LAB-fermented foods. In particular, we focused on the most widely consumed LAB-fermented foods such as yoghurt, kefir, cheese, and plant-based products such as sauerkrauts and kimchi.

Potential Probiotic Pediococcus pentosaceus M41 Modulates Its Proteome Differentially for Tolerances Against Heat, Cold, Acid, and Bile Stresses. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:731410.

Abstract
Probiotics containing functional food confer health benefits in addition to their nutritional properties. In this study, we have evaluated the differential proteomic responses of a potential novel probiotic Pediococcus pentosaceus M41 under heat, cold, acid, and bile stress conditions. We identified stress response proteins that could provide tolerances against these stresses and could be used as probiotic markers for evaluating stress tolerance. Pediococcus pentosaceus M41 was exposed for 2 h to each condition: 50°C (heat stress), 4°C (cold stress), pH 3.0 (acid stress) and 0.05% bile (bile stress). Proteomic analysis was carried out using 2D-IEF SDS PAGE and LC-MS/MS. Out of 60 identified proteins, 14 upregulated and 6 downregulated proteins were common among all the stress conditions. These proteins were involved in different biological functions such as translation-related proteins, carbohydrate metabolism (phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransferase), histidine biosynthesis (imidazole glycerol phosphate synthase) and cell wall synthesis (tyrosine-protein kinase CapB). Proteins such as polysaccharide deacetylase, lactate oxidase, transcription repressor NrdR, dihydroxyacetone kinase were upregulated under three out of the four stress conditions. The differential expression of these proteins might be responsible for tolerance and protection of P. pentosaceus M41 against different stress conditions.

Abstract
Fatty acids have great effects on the maintenance of the cell membrane structure, cell viability, and cell metabolisms. In this study, we sought to elucidate the effects of exogenous fatty acids on the salt tolerance of food yeast Zygosaccharomyces rouxii. Results showed that Z. rouxii can grow by using exogenous fatty acids (C12:0, C14:0, C16:0, C16:1, C18:0, C18:1, and C18:2) as the sole carbon source. Four fatty acids (C12:0, C16:0, C16:1, and C18:1) can improve the salt tolerance of cells, enhance the formation of the cell biofilm, regulate the chemical compositions, restore growth in the presence of cerulenin, regulate the contents of membrane fatty acids, and control the expression of key genes in the fatty acid metabolism. Our results reveal that Z. rouxii can synthesize membrane fatty acids from exogenous fatty acids and the supplementation of these fatty acids can override the need for de novo fatty acid biosynthesis.

Abstract
To understand the mechanism of tolerance of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) during cold storage of fermented milk, 31 LAB strains were isolated from traditional fermented products, and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NMGL2 was identified with good tolerance to both cold and acid stresses. Data-independent acquisition proteomics method was employed to analyze the response of Lpb. plantarum NMGL2 to the combinational cold and acid stresses during storage of the fermented milk made with the strain at 4 °C for 21 days. Among the differentially expressed proteins identified, 20 low temperature-resistant proteins and 10 acid-resistant proteins were found. Protein interaction analysis showed that the low temperature-resistant proteins associated with acid-resistant proteins were Hsp1, Hsp2, Hsp3, CspC, MurA1, MurC, MurD, MurE1, and MurI, while the acid-resistant proteins associated with low temperature-resistant proteins were DnaA, DnaK, GrpE, GroEL, and RbfA. The overall metabolic pathways of Lpb. plantarum NMGL2 in response to the stresses were determined including increased cell wall component biosynthesis, extracellular production of abundant glycolipids and glycoproteins, increased expression of F1Fo-ATPase, activation of glutamate deacidification system, enhanced expression of proteins and chaperones associated with cell repairing caused by the acidic and cold environment into the correct proteins. The present study for the first time provides further understanding of the proteomic pattern and metabolic changes of Lpb. plantarum in response to combinational cold and acid stresses in fermented milk, which facilitates potential application of Lpb. plantarum in fermented foods with enhanced survivability.
