Linalool as a key component in strawberry volatile organic compounds (VOCs) modulates gut microbiota, systemic inflammation, and glucolipid metabolism. Food Chem 2024; 460:140361. [PMID: 39098193 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140361] [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: 05/05/2024] [Revised: 06/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
Strawberries are rich in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are increasingly recognized as potential health-promoting factors. This study explored the health effects of intaking strawberry VOC extract and its dominant terpene, linalool. The results indicated that linalool and strawberry VOC extract significantly increased the abundance of beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus, Bacillus, and Alistipes in mice. Moreover, mice treated with linalool and strawberry VOC extract exhibited notable reductions in serum pro-inflammatory cytokines; interleukin IL-6 decreased by 14.5% and 21.8%, respectively, while IL-1β levels decreased by 9.6% and 13.4%, respectively. Triglyceride levels in the treated groups were reduced by 38.3% and 58.1%, respectively. Spearman's correlation analysis revealed that Bacillus negatively correlated with glucolipid indices, and Bifidobacterium and Dubosiella negatively correlated with inflammatory factors, indicating that alterations in glucolipid metabolism might be associated with the regulation of gut microbiota and systemic inflammation.

Abstract
Pediococcus pentosaceus 732, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis 431, and Lactococcus lactis 808, bacteriocinogenic strains previously isolated from kimchi and banana, were investigated for their safety, beneficial properties and in vitro inhibition of pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 15313 and Staphylococcus simulans KACC 13241 and Staphylococcus auricularis KACC 13252. The results of performed physiological, biochemical, and biomolecular tests suggest that these strains can be deemed safe, as no virulence genes were detected in their DNA. Notably, only the gad gene associated with GABA production was identified in the DNA isolated of Lc. lactis 808 and Lc. lactis subsp. lactis 431 strains. All tested LAB strains exhibited γ-hemolysins and were non-producers of gelatinase and biogenic amines, which suggested their safety potential. Additionally, they were relatively susceptible to antibiotics except for streptomycin, tobramycin, and vancomycin for Pd. pentosaceus 732. The growth of Pd. pentosaceus 732, Lc. lactis subsp. lactis 431, and Lc. lactis 808 and their survival were minimally affected by up to 3% ox bile and low pH (except pH 2.0 and 4.0). Moreover, these LAB strains were not inhibited by various commercial extracts as well as most of the tested medications tested in the study. They did not produce proteolytic enzymes but exhibited production of D/L-lactic acid and β-galactosidase. They were also hydrophilic. Furthermore, their survival in artificial saliva, gastric simulation, and enteric passage was measured followed by a challenge test to assess their ability to inhibit the selected oral pathogens in an oral saliva model conditions.

Abstract
The aim of this project was to screen for bacteriocinogenic Bacillus strains with activity versus Staphylococcus spp. with future application in formulation of pharmaceutical antimicrobial preparations. Putative bacteriocinogenic strains, isolated and pre-identified as Bacillus spp. were selected for future study and differentiated based on repPCR and identified as Bacillus subtilis for strains ST826CD and ST829CD, Bacillus subtilis subsp. stercoris for strain ST794CD, Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii for strain ST824CD, Bacillus velezensis for strain ST796CD, and Bacillus tequilensis for strain ST790CD. Selected strains were evaluated regarding their safety/virulence, beneficial properties, and potential production of antimicrobials based on biomolecular and physiological approves. Expressed bacteriocins were characterized regarding their proteinaceous nature, stability at different levels of pH, temperatures, and the presence of common chemicals applied in bacterial cultivation and bacteriocin purification. Dynamic of bacterial growth, acidification, and cumulation of produced bacteriocins and some aspects of the bacteriocins mode of action were evaluated. Based on obtained results, isolation and application of expressed antimicrobials can be realistic scenario for treatment of some staphylococcal associated infections. Appropriate biotechnological approaches need to be developed for cost effective production, isolation, and purification of expressed antimicrobials by studied Bacillus strains.

Abstract
Bacillus strains from the Moroccan Coordinated Collections of Microorganisms (CCMM) were characterised and tested for fibrolytic function and safety properties that would be beneficial for maintaining intestinal homeostasis, and recommend beneficial microbes in the field of health promotion research. Forty strains were investigated for their fibrolytic activities towards complex purified polysaccharides and natural fibres representative of dietary fibres (DFs) entering the colon for digestion. We demonstrated hemicellulolytic activities for nine strains of Bacillus aerius, re-identified as Bacillus paralicheniformis and Bacillus licheniformis, using xylan, xyloglucan or lichenan as purified polysaccharides, and orange, apple and carrot natural fibres, with strain- and substrate-dependent production of glycoside hydrolases (GHs). Our combined methods, based on enzymatic assays, secretome, and genome analyses, highlighted the hemicellulolytic activities of B. paralicheniformis and the secretion of specific glycoside hydrolases, in particular xylanases, compared to B. licheniformis. Genomic features of these strains revealed a complete set of GH genes dedicated to the degradation of various polysaccharides from DFs, including cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin, which may confer on the strains the ability to digest a variety of DFs. Preliminary experiments on the safety and immunomodulatory properties of B. paralicheniformis fibrolytic strains were evaluated in light of applications as beneficial microbes' candidates for health improvement. B. paralicheniformis CCMM B969 was therefore proposed as a new fibrolytic beneficial microbe candidate.

Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Profiling of Volatile Metabolites Produced by Some Bacillus spp. and Evaluation of Their Antibacterial and Antibiotic Activities. Molecules 2023; 28:7556.

Abstract
Bacillus species produce different classes of antimicrobial and antioxidant substances: peptides or proteins with different structural compositions and molecular masses and a broad range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), some of which may serve as biomarkers for microorganism identification. The aim of this study is the identification of biologically active compounds synthesized by five Bacillus species using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The current study profoundly enhances the knowledge of antibacterial and antioxidant metabolites ensuring the unambiguous identification of VOCs produced by some Bacillus species, which were isolated from vegetable samples of potato, carrot, and tomato. Phylogenetic and biochemical studies were used to identify the bacterial isolates after culturing. Phylogenetic analysis proved that five bacterial isolates BSS12, BSS13, BSS16, BSS21, and BSS25 showed 99% nucleotide sequence similarities with Bacillus safensis AS-08, Bacillus cereus WAB2133, Bacillus acidiproducens NiuFun, Bacillus toyonesis FORT 102, and Bacillus thuringiensis F3, respectively. The crude extract was prepared from bacterial isolates to assess the antibiotic resistance potency and the antimicrobial potential against various targeted multidrug-resistant strains, including yeast strains such as Candida albicans, Candida krusei, and bacterial strains of Enterococcus hirae, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus group B, Streptococcus mutans, Shigella sonnei, Salmonella enteritidis, Serratia marcescens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Proteus vulgaris. GC-MS analysis of bacterial strains found that VOCs from Bacillus species come in a variety of chemical forms, such as ketones, alcohols, terpenoids, alkenes, etc. Overall, 69 volatile organic compounds were identified from five Bacillus species, and all five were found to share different chemical classes of volatile organic components, which have a variety of pharmacological applications. However, eight antibacterial compounds with different concentrations were commonly found in all five species: acetoin, acetic acid, butanoic acid, 2-methyl-, oxime-, methoxy-phenyl, phenol, 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, bis(2-methylpropyl) ester, nonanoic acid, and hexadecanoic acid, methyl. The present study has demonstrated that bacterial isolates BSS25, BSS21, and BSS16 display potent inhibitory effects against Candida albicans, while BSS25, BSS21, and BSS13 exhibit the ability to restrain the growth and activity of Candida krusei. Notably, BSS25 and BSS21 are the only isolates that demonstrate substantial inhibitory activity against Klebsiella aerogenes. This disparity in inhibitory effects could be attributed to the higher concentrations of acetoin in BSS25 and BSS21, whereas BSS16 and BSS13 have relatively elevated levels of butanoic acid, 2-methyl-. Certainly, the presence of acetoin and butanoic acid, 2-methyl-, contributes to the enhanced antibacterial potential of these bacterial strains, in conjunction with other organic volatile compounds and peptides, among other factors. The biology and physiology of Bacillus can be better understood using these results, which can also be used to create novel biotechnological procedures and applications. Moreover, because of its exceptional ability to synthesize and produce a variety of different antibacterial compounds, Bacillus species can serve as natural and universal carriers for antibiotic compounds in the form of probiotic cultures and strains to fight different pathogens, including mycobacteria.

Abstract
Mucosal tissues serve as the first defense line and their commensal microbiota play a role in sustaining of host health. This study aimed to isolate and evaluate a putative probiotic strain on various mucosal regions. Lactobacillus sakei HEM 224 was isolated from traditional Korean kimchi and identified. In the safety assessment L. sakei HEM 224 showed negative results for hemolysis, biogenic amine production and transferable antibiotic resistance. The probiotic potential of strain HEM 224 in diverse mucosal areas was shown in two different models, viz. a murine model with colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) and an allergic airway inflammation model induced by ovalbumin (OVA). In the colitis model, oral administration of L. sakei HEM 224 improved colitis physiology with immunomodulation, enhancing barrier components and gut microbiota alteration. In the allergic airway inflammation model, the intranasal administration of the strain decreased type 2 inflammation and enhanced epithelial barrier integrity from the airways. These results demonstrate that L. sakei HEM 224 can ameliorate inflammatory conditions in both the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts through the reinforcement of the epithelial barrier and immunomodulation.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance in foodborne and clinical pathogens is a worldwide health problem. The urgent need for new alternatives to the existing antibiotics is emerging. Bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances can be considered part of the new generation of antimicrobials, which can be potentially applied in the food industry and health care practices. This study aimed to select Bacillus strains with antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus spp. with future application in the formulation of pharmaceutical antimicrobial preparations. Putative antimicrobial agent-producing strains, previously isolated and preidentified as Bacillus spp. were profiled by repetitive element sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (rep-PCR) and 16s rRNA sequencing identified the strains as Bacillus tequilensis ST1962CD with 99.47% identity confidence and as Bacillus subtilis subsp. stercoris ST2056CD with 98.45% identity confidence. Both the selected Bacillus strains were evaluated via biomolecular and physiological approaches related to their safety and virulence, beneficial properties, enzyme production profile, and presence of corresponding genes for the production of antimicrobials and virulence. Both strains were confirmed to harbor srfa and sbo genes and be free of hemolysin binding component (B) and two lytic components (L1 and L2) [BL] and nonhemolytic enterotoxin-associated genes. Produced antimicrobial agents by strains ST1962CD and ST2056CD were partially purified through the combination of ammonium sulfate precipitation and hydrophobic-based chromatography on SepPakC18 and evaluated regarding their cytotoxicity. The dynamics of bacterial growth, pH change, accumulation of produced antimicrobials, and the mode of action were evaluated. Obtained results were pointing to the potential application of safe B. tequilensis ST1962CD and B. subtilis subsp. stercoris ST2056CD strains as functional beneficial microbial cultures that are putative producers of surfactin and/or subtilosin, as potent antimicrobials, for the treatment of some staphylococcal-associated infections. Expressed antimicrobials were shown to be not cytotoxic, and appropriate biotechnological approaches need to be developed for cost-effective production, isolation, and purification of expressed antimicrobials by studied strains.

Arch Microbiol 2023; 205:251. [PMID: 37249701 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-023-03593-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
There is an increasing interest in the use of spore-forming Bacillus spp. as probiotic ingredients on the market. However, probiotics Bacillus species are insufficient, and more safe Bacillus species were required. In the study, traditional fermented foods and soil samples were collected from more than ten provinces in China, and 506 Bacillus were selected from 109 samples. Using the optimized procedure, we screened nine strains, which successfully passed the acid, alkali, bile salt, and trypsin resistance test. Drug sensitivity test results showed that three Bacillus out of the nine isolates exhibited antibiotic sensitivity to more than 29 antibiotics. The three strains sensitive to antibiotics were identified by 16S ribosomal RNA, recA, and gyrB gene analysis, two isolates (38,327 and 38,328) belong to the species Lysinibacillus capsici and one isolate (37,326) belong to Bacillus halotolerans. Moreover, the three strains were confirmed safe through animal experiments. Finally, L. capsici 38,327 and 38,328 showed protections in the Salmonella typhimurium infection mouse model, which slowed down weight loss, reduced bacterial load, and improved antioxidant capacity. Altogether, our data demonstrated that selected L. capsici strains can be used as novel probiotics for intestinal health.

Abstract
Impaired baseline lung function is associated with mortality after pediatric allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), yet limited knowledge of the molecular pathways that characterize pretransplant lung function has hindered the development of lung-targeted interventions. In this study, we quantified the association between bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) metatranscriptomes and paired pulmonary function tests performed a median of 1 to 2 weeks before allogeneic HCT in 104 children in The Netherlands. Abnormal pulmonary function was recorded in more than half the cohort, consisted most commonly of restriction and impaired diffusion, and was associated with both all-cause and lung injury-related mortality after HCT. Depletion of commensal supraglottic taxa, such as Haemophilus, and enrichment of nasal and skin taxa, such as Staphylococcus, in the BAL microbiome were associated with worse measures of lung capacity and gas diffusion. In addition, BAL gene expression signatures of alveolar epithelial activation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and down-regulated immunity were associated with impaired lung capacity and diffusion, suggesting a postinjury profibrotic response. Detection of microbial depletion and abnormal epithelial gene expression in BAL enhanced the prognostic utility of pre-HCT pulmonary function tests for the outcome of post-HCT mortality. These findings suggest a potentially actionable connection between microbiome depletion, alveolar injury, and pulmonary fibrosis in the pathogenesis of pre-HCT lung dysfunction.
