Contribution of mono- and co-culture of Pseudomonas paralactis, Acinetobacter MN21 and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia to the spoilage of chill-stored lamb. Food Res Int 2024; 186:114313. [PMID: 38729689 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114313] [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: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
Exploring the contribution of common microorganisms to spoilage is of great significance in inhibiting spoilage in lamb. This work investigated the extent of protein degradation and profile changes of free amino acids (FAAs), free fatty acids (FFAs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in lamb caused by single- and co-culture of the common aerobic spoilage bacteria, P. paralactis, Ac. MN21 and S. maltophilia. Meanwhile, some key VOCs produced by the three bacteria during lamb spoilage were also screened by orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis and difference value in VOCs content between inoculated groups and sterile group. Lamb inoculated with P. paralactis had the higher total viable counts, pH, total volatile base nitrogen and TCA-soluble peptides than those with the other two bacteria. Some FAAs and FFAs could be uniquely degraded by P. paralactis but not Ac. MN21 and S. maltophilia, such as Arg, Glu, C15:0, C18:0 and C18:1n9t. Co-culture of the three bacteria significantly promoted the overall spoilage, including bacterial growth, proteolysis and lipolysis. Key VOCs produced by P. paralactis were 2, 3-octanedione, those by Ac. MN21 were 1-octanol, octanal, hexanoic acid, 1-pentanol and hexanoic acid methyl ester, and that by S. maltophilia were hexanoic acid. The production of extensive key-VOCs was significantly and negatively correlated with C20:0, C23:0 and C18:ln9t degradation. This study can provide a basis for inhibiting common spoilage bacteria and promoting high-quality processing of fresh lamb.

Antibacterial efficacy of phenyllactic acid against Pseudomonas lundensis and Brochothrix thermosphacta and its synergistic application on modified atmosphere/air-packaged fresh pork loins. Food Chem 2024; 430:137002.

Abstract
Microbial contamination is a crucial problem that is difficult to solve for the meat industry. Therefore, this study explored the antibacterial efficacy of phenyllactic acid (PLA) against Pseudomonas lundensis (PL) and Brochothrix thermosphacta (BT) solely and in combination (PL + BT). It also provided insights into its synergistic preservation effect during inoculation in chilled (4 °C) fresh pork loins under air (AP) and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of PLA was 10 mg/mL. Growth kinetics, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), zeta potential, and cell viability investigations showed that PLA treatment exhibited reduced bacterial growth, aided morphological alterations, and leakage in cell membrane integrity in vitro. Nonetheless, PLA and MAP (70 %N2/30 %CO2) showed an excellent synergistic antibacterial ability against spoilage indicators(total glucose, pH, TVB-N, and TBARS), bacterial counts than AP, without impairing organoleptic acceptability. These results demonstrate the broad antibacterial efficacy of PLA as a biopreservative for the meat industry.

Abstract
Pseudomonas fragi (P. fragi) is one of the main categories of bacteria responsible for the spoilage of chilled meat. In the processing and preservation of chilled meat, it is easy to form biofilms on the meat, leading to the development of slime on the meat, which becomes a major quality defect. Flavonoids, as one of the critical components of secondary plant metabolites, are receiving increasing attention for their antibacterial activity. Flavonoids in Sedum aizoon L. (FSAL), relying on its prominent antibacterial activity, are of research importance in food preservation and other applications. This article aims to investigate the effect of FSAL on the biofilm formation of P. fragi, to better apply FSAL to the processing and preservation of meat products. The disruption of cellular structure and aggregation properties by FSAL was demonstrated by the observation of the cellular state within the biofilm. The amount of biofilm formation was determined by crystal violet staining, and the content of polysaccharides and proteins in the extracellular wrapped material was determined. It was shown that the experimental concentrations of FSAL (1.0 MIC) was able to inhibit biofilm formation and reduce the main components in the extracellular secretion. The swimming motility assay and the downregulation of flagellin-related genes confirmed that FSAL reduced cell motility and adhesion. The downregulation of cell division genes and the lowering of bacterial metabolic activity suggested that FSAL could hinder bacterial growth and reproduction within P. fragi biofilms. KEY POINTS: • FSAL inhibited the activity of Pseudomonas fragi in the dominant meat strain • The absence of EPS components affected the formation of P. fragi biofilms • P. fragi has reduced adhesion capacity due to impaired flagellin function.

Abstract
Bacillus subtilis as microbial fertilizers contribute to avoiding the harmful effects of traditional agricultural fertilizers and pesticides. However, there are many restrictions on the practical application of fertilizers. In this study, microbial biochar formulations (BCMs) were prepared by loading biochar with B. subtilis SL-44. Pot experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of the BCMs on soil fertility, Fusarium wilt control, and radish plant growth. The application of BCMs dramatically improved soil properties and favored plant growth. Compared with SL-44 and biochar treatments, the BCMs treatments increased radish plant physical-chemical properties and activities of several enzymes in the soil. What's more, Fusarium wilt incidence had decreased by 59.88%. In addition, the BCMs treatments exhibited a significant increase in the abundance of bacterial genera in the rhizosphere soil of radish. Therefore, this study demonstrated that BCMs may be an eco-friendly strategy for improving soil fertility, reducing Fusarium wilt, and promoting radish plant growth.

Abstract
Spoilage bacteria play a remarkable role in the spoilage of chilled chicken. In this paper, a total of 42 isolates belonging to 16 species of four genera were isolated from chilled chicken and displayed different characterizations of psychrotrophic spoilage. Six isolates of J7, J8, Q20, Q23, R1, and R9 with differences in proteolytic capabilities were further characterized for in situ spoilage potential evaluation. Pseudomonas lundensis J8 exhibited the strongest spoilage potential in situ, displaying a fast growth rate, increased pH velocity, high total volatile basic nitrogen, and high peptide content in the chicken samples. The volatile flavor analysis of chicken samples via electronic nose indicated that the content of characteristic odors representing spoilage, including sulfides, organic sulfide, and hydride, increased during storage. Additionally, the principle component and correlation analyses revealed that the spoilage odors produced by different species of bacteria were significantly different and positively correlated with the results of protease activity in vitro. The characteristics of spoilage bacteria in chilled chicken provided a comprehensive insight into microbial assessment during storage.

Assessment of the Microbial Spoilage and Quality of Marinated Chicken Souvlaki through Spectroscopic and Biomimetic Sensors and Data Fusion. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10112251. [DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10112251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2022] [Revised: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), multispectral imaging (MSI), and an electronic nose (E-nose) were implemented individually and in combination in an attempt to investigate and, hence, identify the complexity of the phenomenon of spoilage in poultry. For this purpose, marinated chicken souvlaki samples were subjected to storage experiments (isothermal conditions: 0, 5, and 10 °C; dynamic temperature conditions: 12 h at 0 °C, 8 h at 5 °C, and 4 h at 10 °C) under aerobic conditions. At pre-determined intervals, samples were microbiologically analyzed for the enumeration of total viable counts (TVCs) and Pseudomonas spp., while, in parallel, FT-IR, MSI, and E-nose measurements were acquired. Quantitative models of partial least squares–Regression (PLS-R) and support vector machine–regression (SVM-R) (separately for each sensor and in combination) were developed and validated for the estimation of TVCs in marinated chicken souvlaki. Furthermore, classification models of linear discriminant analysis (LDA), linear support vector machine (LSVM), and cubic support vector machines (CSVM) that classified samples into two quality classes (non-spoiled or spoiled) were optimized and evaluated. The model performance was assessed with data obtained by six different analysts and three different batches of marinated souvlaki. Concerning the estimation of the TVCs via the PLS-R model, the most efficient prediction was obtained with spectral data from MSI (root mean squared error—RMSE: 0.998 log CFU/g), as well as with combined data from FT-IR/MSI (RMSE: 0.983 log CFU/g). From the developed SVM-R models, the predictions derived from MSI and FT-IR/MSI data accurately estimated the TVCs with RMSE values of 0.973 and 0.999 log CFU/g, respectively. For the two-class models, the combined data from the FT-IR/MSI instruments analyzed with the CSVM algorithm provided an overall accuracy of 87.5%, followed by the MSI spectral data analyzed with LSVM, with an overall accuracy of 80%. The abovementioned findings highlighted the efficacy of these non-invasive rapid methods when used individually and in combination for the assessment of spoilage in marinated chicken products regardless of the impact of the analyst, season, or batch.

Involvement of AprD in regulating biofilm structure, matrix secretion, and cell metabolism of meat-borne Pseudomonas fragi during chilled storage. Food Res Int 2022; 157:111400.

Abstract
Pseudomonas fragi is by far one of the most threatening species in the spoilage of chilled meat that is stored under aerobic conditions. The membrane protein AprD is a well-established regulator controlling protease secretion in Pseudomonas spp. However, its exact roles in modulating metabolic pathways and spoilage potential of P. fragi at the molecular level remain undefined. Here, an in-frame deletion mutation of aprD was used to explore the impacts on their biofilm structure, matrix secretion, and cell metabolism. The results showed that ΔaprD formed relatively disorganized loose aggregation in biofilm, resulting in a thinner structure and more dead cells. Meanwhile, marked changes in the content of extracellular carbohydrates and proteins were observed. Furthermore, intracellular metabolomic profiling revealed the involvement of aprD in several cellular metabolic pathways, mostly including the carbohydrate pathway, amino acid pathway, and nucleotide pathway, while the characterization of extracellular metabolism clarified the variations in the spoilage-related metabolites (e.g., creatine, IMP, spermine, fatty acids, amino acids, and oligopeptides) could be highly correlated with aprD deletion. In this finding, we indicated that aprD could be responsible for cell reproduction and in situ spoilage potential of P. fragi NMC25 during chilled storage by controlling related metabolism and nutrients utilization. Thus, our results will contribute to an improved understanding of the regulatory mechanism of aprD gene in meat spoilage contaminated with P. fragi, which can be valuable to ensure the quality and safety of meat.

Abstract
Pseudomonas fragi is the predominant bacterial species associated with spoiled aerobically stored chilled meat worldwide. It readily forms biofilms on meat under refrigerated temperature conditions used in the meat industry. Biofilm growth leads to slime development on meat which in turn becomes a major quality defect. To understand the genetic regulation that aids P. fragi to survive under chilled conditions used in the meat industry, as well to obtain an overview of the transcriptomic behavior of this organism when grown as biofilms, RNA sequencing was carried out for the main stages of the P. fragi 1793 biofilm. RNA was extracted at different stages of the biofilm cycle namely initiation, maturation and dispersal. At the same time, the biofilm growth was assessed by fluorescent staining and imaging using confocal laser scanning microscope. The results of RNA sequencing were verified by qRT-PCR using twelve genes that were most significantly up and down regulated at each stage. Differential expression analysis at biofilm maturation revealed 332 significantly upregulated genes and 37 downregulated genes relative to initiation. Differential expression analysis at biofilm dispersal reveled 658 upregulated and 275 downregulated genes relative to initiation. During biofilm maturation and dispersal, genes coding for flp family type IVb pilin, ribosome modulation factor, creatininase were the most upregulated genes while genes encoding for iron uptake systems including TonB-dependent siderophore receptor and taurine transport were significantly down regulated. The results show that protein synthesis and cellular multiplication cease after the biofilm population maximum has reached.

For this purpose, two independent storage experiments of chicken breast fillets (n = 215) were conducted at 0, 5, 10, and 15 °C for up to 480 h. During storage, samples were analyzed microbiologically for the enumeration of Total Viable Counts (TVC) and Pseudomonas spp. In addition, FT-IR and MSI spectral data were collected at the same time intervals as for microbiological analyses. Multivariate data analysis was performed using two software platforms (a commercial and a publicly available developed platform) comprising several machine learning algorithms for the estimation of the TVC and Pseudomonas spp. population of the surface of the samples. The performance of the developed models was evaluated by intra batch and independent batch testing. Partial Least Squares- Regression (PLS-R) models from the commercial software predicted TVC with root mean square error (RMSE) values of 1.359 and 1.029 log CFU/cm2 for MSI and FT-IR analysis, respectively. Moreover, RMSE values for Pseudomonas spp. model were 1.574 log CFU/cm2 for MSI data and 1.078 log CFU/cm2 for FT-IR data. From the implementation of the in-house sorfML platform, artificial neural networks (nnet) and least-angle regression (lars) were the most accurate models with the best performance in terms of RMSE values. Nnet models developed on MSI data demonstrated the lowest RMSE values (0.717 log CFU/cm2) for intra-batch testing, while lars outperformed nnet on independent batch testing with RMSE of 1.252 log CFU/cm2. Furthermore, lars models excelled with the FT-IR data with RMSE of 0.904 and 0.851 log CFU/cm2 in intra-batch and independent batch testing, respectively. These findings suggested that FT-IR analysis is more efficient than MSI to predict the microbiological quality on the surface of chicken breast fillets. Poultry meat’s vulnerability to spoilage demands rapid quality assessment LWT-Food Sci. Technol.methods. FT-IR and MSI are non-invasive methods applied in a variety of meat products. SorfML is a web platform providing diverse machine learning algorithms. FT-IR analysis via lars predicted efficiently microbial loads of TVC.

Characterization of the microbiota and chemical properties of pork loins during dry aging. Microbiologyopen 2021; 10:e1157.

Abstract
Dry aging (DA) allows for the storage of meat without packaging at 0 to 3°C for several weeks. It enhances the production of pleasant flavors, tenderness, and juiciness in meat. Due to the long storage period and roles of indigenous microbiota in the maturation of several meat products, the microbiota of DA meat is of interest in terms of microbial contributions and food hygiene but has not yet been characterized in detail. This study identified the microbiota of pork loins during DA using culturing and culture‐independent meta‐16S rRNA gene sequencing and elucidated its characteristics. The amounts of free amino acids and profiles of aroma‐active compounds were also monitored by high‐performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography, respectively. The meta‐16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that Pseudomonas spp. generally dominated the microbiota throughout DA; however, the culturing analysis showed marked changes in the species composition during DA. Acinetobacter spp. were the second most dominant bacteria before DA in the culture‐independent analysis but became a minor population during DA. The cell numbers of yeasts showed an increased tendency during DA, and Debaryomyces hansenii was the only microorganism isolated from all meat samples throughout DA. Well‐known foodborne pathogens were not observed in two microbiota analyses. The amounts of free amino acids were increased by DA, and the number of aroma‐active compounds and their flavor dilution values markedly changed during DA. Most microbial isolates showed positive reactions with proteolytic and lipolytic activities, suggesting their contribution to tenderness and aroma production in DA meats.

Abstract
Psychrotrophic Pseudomonas species are the key spoilage bacteria of aerobically stored chilled meat. These organisms readily form biofilms on meat under refrigerated conditions leading to consumer rejection and associated economic losses. Limited information is available on the matrix composition of the biofilms formed by these bacteria. We quantified and characterized the main components of the matrix of mono-species biofilms of selected Pseudomonas fragi and Pseudomonas lundensis strains using chemical analysis and Raman spectroscopy. The biofilms were grown at 10 °C and 25 °C on nitro-cellulose membranes placed on surface sterilized beef cuts. Extra-cellular polymeric substances of the matrix were extracted in soluble and bound forms and were chemically assessed for total carbohydrates, proteins and extra-cellular DNA. Both Pseudomonas species showed a significant increase in total carbohydrates and total proteins when grown at 10 °C as compared to 25 °C. Extra-cellular DNA did not show a strong correlation with growth temperature. Raman spectra were obtained from planktonic bacteria and membrane grown biofilms at 10 °C and 25 °C. Higher levels of guanine were detected in planktonic cells as compared to biofilm cells. This study suggests that psychrotrophic Pseudomonas species may respond to cold stress by increasing extra-cellular polymer secretions.
