Abstract
An autoinducer-2 (AI-2) signaling molecule from Bacillus was synthesized, and its mechanism on the biofilm formation and biocontrol ability of B. amyloliquefaciens was verified in vitro and in vivo. The 16S/ITS amplicon sequencing was used to analyze the effect of B. amyloliquefaciens B4 with or without AI-2 on the microflora of pears during storage. The results showed that B. amyloliquefaciens B4 secreted AI-2, which promoted biofilm formation. Additionally, AI-2 at a concentration of 40 μmol/L enhanced the biocontrol ability of B. amyloliquefaciens B4 on postharvest pear and loquat fruits. Finally, amplicon sequencing demonstrated that the addition of AI-2 increased the abundance of B. amyloliquefaciens B4 in fruit by stimulating the growth and biofilm formation of this bacterium.

Abstract
Food packaging is innovating towards more environmental-friendly polymers and broader applications of bioactive compounds. In this study, active packaging materials were successfully prepared by incorporating chlorogenic acid (CGA) nanoparticles into pullulan/gelatin polymer matrixes. The rhamnolipid (RL) and/or CGA were combined with chitosan (CS) to synthesize active nanoparticles by the ionic crosslinking method. The film containing CS/RL/CGA nanoparticles (F/CRC) exhibited both ultrahigh visible light (400-760 nm) transmittance (approximately 90%) and UVA (320-400 nm)-blocking efficiency (89.06%). Its fluorescent properties can be used for anti-counterfeiting. Significantly, the bacterial inhibition rates of F/CRC against E. coli and S. aureus were 92.14% and 98.72%. F/CRC also showed good antioxidant capability and biosafety. Finally, the packaging test further indicated that F/CRC could delay the browning of bananas and the bacteria growth of chicken samples. This work presents a green and feasible route to produce functional materials with UV-shielding properties for packaging applications.

Abstract
Ultrasonic treatment is widely used for surface cleaning of vegetables in the processing of agricultural products. In the present study, the molecular and proteomic response of Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilm cultured on lettuce was investigated after ultrasound treatment at different intensity levels. The results show that the biofilm was efficiently removed after ultrasound treatment with intensity higher than 21.06 W/cm2. However, at an intensity of less than 18.42 W/cm2, P. fluorescens was stimulated by ultrasound leading to promoted bacterial growth, extracellular protease activity, extracellular polysaccharide secretion (EPS), and synthesis of acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) as quorum-sensing signaling molecules. The expression of biofilm-related genes, stress response, and dual quorum sensing system was upregulated during post-treatment ultrasound. Proteomic analysis showed that ultrasound activated proteins in the flagellar system, which led to changes in bacterial tendency; meanwhile, a large number of proteins in the dual-component system began to be regulated. ABC transporters accelerated the membrane transport of substances inside and outside the cell membrane and equalized the permeability conditions of the cell membrane. In addition, the expression of proteins related to DNA repair was upregulated, suggesting that bacteria repair damaged DNA after ultrasound exposure.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the inhibitory impact of chlorogenic acid (CGA) on the growth of Morganella psychrotolerans and its ability to form histamine. METHODS AND RESULTS The antimicrobial effect of CGA on M. psychrotolerans was evaluated using the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method, revealing an MIC value of 10 mg ml-1. The alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activity, cell membrane potential, and scanning electron microscopy images revealed that CGA treatment disrupted cell structure and cell membrane. Moreover, CGA treatment led to a dose-dependent decrease in crude histidine decarboxylase (HDC) activity and gene expression of histidine decarboxylase (hdc). Molecular docking analysis demonstrated that CGA interacted with HDC through hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, in situ investigation confirmed the efficacy of CGA in controlling the growth of M. psychrotolerans and significantly reducing histamine formation in raw tuna. CONCLUSION CGA had good activity in controlling the growth of M. psychrotolerans and histamine formation.

Antibacterial effect of ultrasound and β-citronellol against Listeria monocytogenes and its application in carrot preservation. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 102:106752. [PMID: 38211495 PMCID: PMC10788804 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2023.106752] [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: 11/04/2023] [Revised: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/31/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024]
Abstract
This study investigated the antibacterial effects of ultrasound (US), β-citronellol (CT), and a combination of the two treatments on Listeria monocytogenes. Results showed that US or CT alone did not show apparent antibacterial effect (0.02-0.76 log CFU/mL reduction). The combined treatment showed obviously inactivate effect of L. monocytogenes, the populations of L. monocytogenes decreased by 8.93 log CFU/mL after US (253 W/cm2, 20 kHz) + 0.8 mg/mL CT treatment. US + CT treatment also had a significant (P < 0.05) antibacterial effect on isolates of L. monocytogenes from three different serotypes. In this study, the damage of US + CT on cell morphology had been observed using field emission scanning electron microscopy, while the damage to cell membranes by US + CT was observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy and flow cytometry. Meanwhile, the uptake of N-phenyl-l-naphthylamine and the absorbance at 260 and 280 nm also indicated that the combined treatment disrupted the permeability and integrity of L. monocytogenes membranes. Reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde assays showed that US + CT exacerbated cellular oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. In addition, the US + CT treatment reduced L. monocytogenes by 3.14-4.24 log CFU/g on the surface of carrots. Total phenolic and carotenoid contents in carrots were elevated after US + CT treatment. During storage, compared to control, US + CT did not significantly (P > 0.05) change the surface color of carrots but significantly (P < 0.05) decreased both hardness and weight, and has an impact on the sensory. This study showed that US + CT is a promising cleaning method that will provide new ideas for the preservation of fresh agricultural produce.

Abstract
This paper reports the development of a hydrogel film with antibacterial activity and controlled release characteristics. Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) is grafted onto durancin GL and inulin via a mediated reaction between N-hydroxysuccinimide and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride. Rheology tests, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and lap shear tests confirmed the formation of a stable chemical cross-linking and excellent adhesion hydrogel with 4 % CMCS and 8 % inulin. The CMCS/inulin hydrogel film loaded with durancin GL appears transparent and uniform. FTIR spectroscopy results reveal the interaction mode among CMCS, inulin, durancin GL, and the hydrogel film structure. Cross-linking improved thermal stability and water-vapour barrier performance. The hydrophobicity of CMCS/inulin @Durancin GL increased under a durancin GL concentration of 0.036 g/30 mL, and the release of active substances is prolonged. In-vitro antibacterial capacity and salmon preservation experiments show that the addition of durancin GL enhanced the antibacterial activity of the hydrogel film. Therefore, CMCS/inulin@Durancin GL hydrogel films can be used as fresh-keeping packaging materials in practical applications.

Abstract
Biofilm formation is a strategy in which microorganisms generate a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances to increase survival under harsh conditions. The efficacy of sanitization processes is lowered when biofilms form, in particular on industrial devices. While various traditional and emerging technologies have been explored for the eradication of biofilms, cell resistance under a range of environmental conditions renders evaluation of the efficacy of control challenging. This review aimed to: (1) classify biofilm control measures into chemical, physical, and combination methods, (2) discuss mechanisms underlying inactivation by each method, and (3) summarize the reduction of biofilm cells after each treatment. The review is expected to be useful for future experimental studies and help to guide the establishment of biofilm control strategies in the food industry.

Abstract
Chlorogenic acid is a secondary metabolite produced by many traditional Chinese medicines. Its physiological activities (antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activities, etc.) have been well described. This study aimed to investigate the effects of chlorogenic acid on the biofilm of drinking water bacteria. The effects of chlorogenic acid on the metabolites of the biofilms were also evaluated. Chlorogenic acid was found to have an anti-biofilm effect against Pseudomonas, resulting in biofilm formation in a dose-dependent manner (0.53-25.4 mM CGA). Moreover, the biofilm structure was visibly attenuated. Furthermore, we identified and characterized 23 differential metabolites and associated two metabolic pathways involving beta-alanine metabolism and pyrimidine metabolism that were altered mostly during biofilm formation. A quantitative real-time PCR assay revealed that chlorogenic acid interfered with the signaling molecule synthesis and transcription regulators using the Las, Pqs and Rhl systems. These findings suggest that chlorogenic acid can be a quorum sensing (QS) inhibitor and inhibit biofilm formation. It may be a promising natural product for the prevention of contaminated drinking water.

Synergistic antibacterial and anti-biofilm mechanisms of ultrasound combined with citral nanoemulsion against Staphylococcus aureus 29213. Int J Food Microbiol 2023; 391-393:110150. [PMID: 36870235 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2023.110150] [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: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/04/2023]
Abstract
This study investigated the antibacterial and antibiofilm mechanism of ultrasound (US) combined with citral nanoemulsion (CLNE) against Staphylococcus aureus and mature biofilm. Combined treatments resulted in greater reductions in bacterial numbers compared to ultrasound or CLNE treatments alone. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), flow cytometry (FCM), protein nucleic acid leakage, and N-phenyl-l-naphthylamine (NPN) uptake analysis showed that the combined treatment disrupted cell membrane integrity and permeability. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) assays indicated that US+CLNE exacerbated cellular oxidative stress and membrane lipid peroxidation. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) revealed that the synergistic processing of ultrasound and CLNE resulted in cell rupture and collapse. In addition, US+CLNE showed a more pronounced removal effect than both alone in the biofilm on the stainless steel sheet. US+CLNE reduced biomass, the number of viable cells in the biofilm, cell viability and EPS polysaccharide contents. The results of CLSM also showed that US+CLNE disrupted the structure of the biofilm. This research elucidates the synergistic antibacterial and anti-biofilm mechanism of ultrasound combined citral nanoemulsion, which provides a safe and efficient sterilization method for the food industry.

Abstract
Biofilms are microbial aggregation membranes that are formed when microorganisms attach to the surfaces of living or nonliving things. Importantly, biofilm properties provide microorganisms with protection against environmental pressures and enhance their resistance to antimicrobial agents, contributing to microbial persistence and toxicity. Thus, bacterial biofilm formation is part of the bacterial survival mechanism. However, if foodborne pathogens form biofilms, the risk of foodborne disease infections can be greatly exacerbated, which can cause major public health risks and lead to adverse economic consequences. Therefore, research on biofilms and their removal strategies are very important in the food industry. Food waste due to spoilage within the food industry remains a global challenge to environmental sustainability and the security of food supplies. This review describes bacterial biofilm formation, elaborates on the problem associated with biofilms in the food industry, enumerates several kinds of common foodborne pathogens in biofilms, summarizes the current strategies used to eliminate or control harmful bacterial biofilm formation, introduces the current and emerging control strategies, and emphasizes future development prospects with respect to bacterial biofilms.

Abstract
Walnut green husk (WGH) is rich in natural compounds and is valued as a potential source of antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. In this study, the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of petroleum ether polar fraction, dichloromethane polar fraction, ethyl acetate polar fraction (EAPF), and n-butanol polar fraction from WGH were analyzed. The results showed that EAPF exhibited the highest total flavonoid content (65.74 ± 1.01 mg rutin equivalents [RE]/g dry weight [DW]) and total phenol content (48.73 ± 1.09 mg gallic acid equivalent [GAE]/g DW), with the highest 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, hydroxyl radical (•OH), and 2,2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate scavenging activity compared with other fractions. EAPF also showed good antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus vegetative cells, with a diameter of inhibition zones of 33.5 and 37.6 mm, respectively, a minimum inhibitory concentration of 31.25 mg/ml and a minimum bactericidal concentration of 62.5 mg/ml, which inhibited the growth of both bacteria. Analysis of the antibacterial mechanism demonstrated that EAPF damaged the integrity of the cell membrane, increased the membrane permeability, and triggered the leakage of intracellular material. In addition, ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem with mass spectrometry analysis revealed that 8 polyphenols and 14 flavonoids were mainly present in EAPF, such as chlorogenic acid (C16 H18 O9 ), gallic acid (C7 H6 O5 ), vanillic acid (C8 H8 O4 ), ferulic acid (C10 H10 O4 ), epicatechin (C15 H14 O6 ), catechin (C15 H14 O6 ), hesperetin (C16 H14 O6 ), naringenin (C15 H12 O5 ), hyperin (C21 H20 O12 ), luteolin (C15 H10 O6 ), and so on. Therefore, WGH had the potential to be developed as a natural antioxidant and antibacterial material. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Our work indicates that WGH contains abundant flavonoids and polyphenols compounds. Therefore, the plant byproducts like WGH may have a promising application as a source of antimicrobial and antioxidant additives.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the foodborne pathogenic bacteria that greatly threatens human health. An ultrasensitive technology for P. aeruginosa detection is urgently demanded. Herein, based on the mechanism of aptamer-specific recognition, an electrochemical-colorimetric dual-mode ultrasensitive sensing strategy for P. aeruginosa is proposed. The vertices of DNA tetrahedral nanoprobes (DTNPs), that immobilized on the gold electrode were modified with P. aeruginosa aptamers. Furthermore, the G-quadruplex, which was conjugated with a P. aeruginosa aptamer, was synthesized via rolling circle amplification (RCA). Once P. aeruginosa is captured, a hemin/G-quadruplex, which possesses peroxidase-mimicking activity, will separate from the P. aeruginosa aptamer. Then, the exfoliated hemin/G-quadruplexes are collected for oxidation of the 3,3',5',5'-tetramethylbenzidine for colorimetric sensing. In the electrochemical mode, the hemin/G-quadruplex that is still bound to the aptamer catalyzes polyaniline (PANI) deposition and leads to a measurable electrochemical signal. The colorimetric and electrochemical channels demonstrated a good forward and reverse linear response for P. aeruginosa within the range of 1-108 CFU mL-1, respectively. Overall, compared with a traditional single-mode sensor for P. aeruginosa, the proposed dual-mode sensor featuring self-calibration not only avoids false positive results but also improves accuracy and sensitivity. Furthermore, the consistency of the electrochemical/colorimetric assay was verified in practical meat samples and showed great potential for applications in bioanalysis.

Food Chem X 2022; 16:100454.

Abstract
The quenching of zein by chlorogenic acid is mainly static quenching. Hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction are main driving forces. The tensile strength of zein film with 2.0% chlorogenic acid increased by 132.44%. The addition of chlorogenic acid to zein films has potential as an active packaging.
The interaction mechanism between zein and chlorogenic acid (CA) and the effect of interaction on the performance of coaxial nanofiber films were investigated. The interactions between zein and CA were characterized by multiple spectroscopic methods. Ultraviolet spectrum analysis revealed the formation of a zein–CA complex. Fluorescence analysis pointed out that the quenching of zein by CA was static. FTIR and thermodynamic analyses showed that hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions dominated the interaction between zein and CA. Zein-based nanofiber films were successfully prepared by coaxial electrospinning. The interaction between zein and CA enhanced the mechanical properties but reduced the thermal stability of nanofiber films. The presence of CA endowed nanofiber films with antioxidant and antibacterial properties. This research provides significant insight into the effect of protein–polyphenol interactions on the properties of electrospun nanofiber films, which can be applied in the field of active packaging to improve food safety.

Abstract
Salmonella is among the most frequently isolated foodborne pathogens, and biofilm formed by Salmonella poses a potential threat to food safety. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), especially propionate and butyrate, have been demonstrated to exhibit a beneficial effect on promoting intestinal health and regulating the host immune system, but their anti-biofilm property has not been well studied. This study aims to investigate the effects of propionate or butyrate on the biofilm formation and certain virulence traits of Salmonella. We investigated the effect of propionate or butyrate on the biofilm formation of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) SL1344 grown in LB broth or food models (milk or chicken juice) by crystal violet staining methods. Biofilm formation was significantly reduced in LB broth and food models and the reduction was visualized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Biofilm metabolic activity was attenuated in the presence of propionate or butyrate. Meanwhile, both SCFAs decreased AI-2 quorum sensing based on reporter strain assay. Butyrate, not propionate, could effectively reduce bacterial motility. Bacterial adhesion to and invasion of Caco-2 cells were also significantly inhibited in the presence of both SCFAs. Finally, two SCFAs downregulated virulence genes related to biofilm formation and invasion through real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). These findings demonstrate the potential application of SCFAs in the mitigation of Salmonella biofilm in food systems, but future research mimicking food environments encountered during the food chain is necessitated.

Abstract
Antibiotics have been widely used to treat several infectious diseases. However, the overuse of antibiotics has promoted the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) in various fields, including the food industry. In this study, the antimicrobial efficacies of two conventional sterilization methods, mild heat, and sonication, were evaluated and optimized to develop a new strategy against ARB. Simultaneous mild heat and sonication (HS) treatment led to a significant reduction in viable cell counts, achieving a 5.58-log reduction in 4 min. However, no remarkable decrease in viable cell counts was observed in individually treated groups. Interestingly, the release of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) increased in a time-dependent manner in the heat-treated and HS-treated groups. The inactivation levels of ARGs increased as the HS treatment time increased from 2 to 8 min, and most ARGs were degraded after 8 min. In contrast, no significant inactivation of ARGs was observed in the heat-treated and sonication-treated groups after 8 min. These results reveal the synergistic effect of the combination treatment in controlling not only ARB but also ARGs. Finally, on applying this newly developed combination treatment to fresh food (cherry tomato and carrot juice), 3.97- and 4.28-log microbial inactivation was achieved, respectively. In addition, combination treatment did not affect food quality during storage for 5 days. Moreover, HS treatment effectively inactivated ARGs in fresh food systems.

Abstract
In this work, Chitosan-grafted-chlorogenic acid (CS-g-CA) was prepared by the carbodiimide method. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antibacterial and anti-biofilm activity of CS-g-CA against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of CS-g-CA against S. aureus was identified as 0.625 mg/mL. S. aureus treated with 1/2×MIC of CS-g-CA had a longer logarithmic growth phase than that of the CK group, while 1×MIC and 2×MIC inhibited the growth of bacteria. The damaging effect of CS-g-CA on bacterial cells was analyzed by measuring the activity of cellular antioxidant enzymes (Catalase (CAT) and Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px)) and intracellular enzymes (alkaline phosphatase (AKPase) and adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase)). The results of DNA gel electrophoresis illustrated that CS-g-CA disrupted the normal metabolism of bacteria. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that S. aureus shrank and died under CS-g-CA treatment. 1×MIC of CS-g-CA can significantly inhibit the formation of biofilms, and 1/2×MIC of CS-g-CA control the swimming speed of S. aureus. In addition, 77.53% mature biofilm and 60.62% extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) in the mature biofilm of S. aureus were eradicated by CS-g-CA at 2×MIC. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) observation further confirmed these results. Therefore, CS-g-CA was an antimicrobial and antibiofilm agent to control S. aureus, which can effectively controlling the growth of S. aureus in food, thereby preventing the occurrence of food-borne diseases.

Abstract
The microorganisms that have developed resistance to available therapeutic agents are threatening the globe and multidrug resistance among the bacterial pathogens is becoming a major concern of public health worldwide. Bacteria develop protective mechanisms to counteract the deleterious effects of antibiotics, which may eventually result in loss of growth-inhibitory potential of antibiotics. ESKAPE (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp.) pathogens display multidrug resistance and virulence through various mechanisms and it is the need of the hour to discover or design new antibiotics against ESKAPE pathogens. In this article, we have discussed the mechanisms acquired by ESKAPE pathogens to counteract the effect of antibiotics and elaborated on recently discovered secondary metabolites derived from bacteria and plant sources that are endowed with good antibacterial activity towards pathogenic bacteria in general, ESKAPE organisms in particular. Abyssomicin C, allicin, anthracimycin, berberine, biochanin A, caffeic acid, daptomycin, kibdelomycin, piperine, platensimycin, plazomicin, taxifolin, teixobactin, and thymol are the major metabolites whose antibacterial potential have been discussed in this article.

Abstract
In minimal processing industry, chlorine is widely used in the disinfection process and ultrasound (US) increases the disinfection efficacy of chlorine and reduces the cross-contamination incidence during washing. Tap water (TW), which has no disinfection effect, is generally used to rinse off sanitizer residues on the surface of disinfected fresh-cut vegetables. In this study, aqueous ozone (AO), a low-cost and residue-free sanitizer, was used to replace TW rinsing in combination with US (28 kHz)-chlorine (free chlorine [FC] at 10 ppm, a concentration recommended for industrial use) for the disinfection of fresh-cut lettuce as a model. US-chlorine (40 s) + 2.0 ppm AO (60 s) treatment resulted in browning spots on lettuce surface at the end of storage. In contrast, US-chlorine (40 s) + 1.0 ppm AO (60 s) did not lead to deterioration of the sensory quality (sensory crispness, color, and flavor) and a change in total color difference, and the activities of browning-related enzymes were significantly lower. Moreover, US-chlorine (40 s) + 1.0 ppm of AO (60 s) treatment led to significantly lower counts of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhimurium, aerobic mesophilic (AMC), and molds and yeasts (M&Y) on days 0-7 than US-chlorine (60 s) + TW (60 s) and single 1.0 ppm AO (120 s) treatments, suggesting that AO provided an additional disinfection effect over TW, while reducing the overall processing time by 20 s. Cell membrane permeability analysis (alkaline phosphatase, protein, nucleotide, and adenosine triphosphate leakage) showed that the combination with 1.0 ppm AO caused more severe cell membrane damage in E. coli O157:H7 and S. Typhimurium, explaining the higher disinfection efficacy. 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that following US-chlorine (40 s) + 1.0 ppm of AO (60 s) treatment, Massilia and Acinetobacter had higher relative abundances (RAs) on day 7 than after US-chlorine (60 s) + TW (60 s) treatment, whereas the RAs of Escherichia-Shigella was significantly lower, indicating that the former treatment has a superior capacity in maintaining a stable microbial composition. This explains from an ecological point of view why US-chlorine (40 s) + 1.0 ppm of AO (60 s) led to the lowest AMC and M&Y counts during storage. The study results provide evidence that AO has potential as an alternative to TW rinsing to increase the disinfection efficacy of US-chlorine.
