Glycosyltransferases Expression Changes in Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides ATCC 8293 Grown on Different Carbon Sources. Foods 2023; 12:foods12091893. [PMID: 37174431 PMCID: PMC10177778 DOI: 10.3390/foods12091893] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Leuconostoc mesenteroides strains are common contributors in fermented foods producing a wide variety of polysaccharides from sucrose through glycosyltransferases (GTFs). These polymers have been proposed as protective barriers against acidity, dehydration, heat, and oxidative stress. Despite its presence in many traditional fermented products and their association with food functional properties, regulation of GTFs expression in Ln. mesenteroides is still poorly understood. The strain Ln. mesenteroides ATCC 8293 contains three glucansucrases genes not found in operons, and three fructansucrases genes arranged in two operons, levLX and levC-scrB, a Glycoside-hydrolase. We described the first differential gene expression analysis of this strain when cultivated in different carbon sources. We observed that while GTFs are expressed in the presence of most sugars, they are down-regulated in xylose. We ruled out the regulatory effect of CcpA over GTFs and did not find regulatory elements with a direct effect on glucansucrases in the condition assayed. Our findings suggest that only operon levLX is repressed in xylose by LexA and that both fructansucrases operons can be regulated by the VicK/VicR system and PerR. It is essential to further explore the effect of environmental conditions in Ln. mesenteroides bacteria to better understand GTFs regulation and polymer function.

Rothwell MAR, Zhai Y, Pagán-Medina CG, Pérez-Díaz IM. Growth of ɣ-Proteobacteria in Low Salt Cucumber Fermentation Is Prevented by Lactobacilli and the Cover Brine Ingredients. Microbiol Spectr 2022; 10:e0103121. [PMID: 35543556 PMCID: PMC9241618 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.01031-21] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2021] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
This study investigated the ability of ɣ-proteobacteria, indigenous to fresh cucumber, to grow in the expressed fruit juice (CJM) and fermentation. It was hypothesized that fresh cucumbers can support prolific growth of ɣ-proteobacteria but that the cover brine composition and acid production by the competing lactobacilli in the fermentation of the fruit act as inhibitory agents. The ɣ-proteobacteria proliferated in CJM with an average maximum growth rate (μmax) of 0.3895 ± 0.0929 and doubling time (Td) of 1.885 ± 0.465/h. A significant difference was found between the ɣ-proteobacteria μmax and Td relative to Lactiplantibacillus pentosus LA0445 (0.2319 ± 0.019; 2.89/h) and Levilactobacillus brevis 7.2.43 (0.221 ± 0.015; 3.35/h) but not Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 3.2.8 (0.412 ± 0.119; 1.87/h). While inoculation level insignificantly altered the μmax and Td of the bacteria tested; it impacted the length of lag and stationary phases for the lactobacilli. Unlike the lactobacilli, the ɣ-proteobacteria were inhibited in CJM supplemented with a low salt fermentation cover brine containing calcium chloride, acetic acid and potassium sorbate. The ɣ-proteobacteria, P. agglomerans, was unable to proliferate in cucumber fermentations brined with calcium chloride at a pH of 6.0 ± 0.1 and the population of Enterobacteriaceae was outcompeted by the lactobacilli within 36 h. Together these observations demonstrate that the prolific growth of ɣ-proteobacteria in CJM is not replicated in cucumber fermentation. While the ɣ-proteobacteria growth rate is faster that most lactobacilli in CJM, their growth in cucumber fermentation is prevented by the cover brine and the acid produced by the indigenous lactobacilli. Thus, the lactobacilli indigenous to cucumber and cover brine composition influence the safety and quality of fermented cucumbers. IMPORTANCE While the abundance of specific ɣ-proteobacteria species varies among vegetable type, several harbor Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonadaceae that benefit the plant system. It is documented that such bacterial populations decrease in density early in vegetable fermentations. Consequently, it is assumed that they do not contribute to the quality of finished products. This study explored the viability of ɣ-proteobacteria in CJM, used as a model system, CJM supplemented with fermentation cover brine and cucumber fermentation, which are characterized by an extremely acidic endpoint pH (3.23 ± 0.17; n = 391). The data presented demonstrates that fresh cucumbers provide the nutrients needed by ɣ-proteobacteria to proliferate and reduce pH to 4.47 ± 0.12. However, ɣ-proteobacteria are unable to proliferate in cucumber fermentation. Control of ɣ-proteobacteria in fermentations depends on the cover brine constituents and the indigenous competing lactobacilli. This knowledge is of importance when developing guidelines for the safe fermentation of vegetables, particularly with low salt.

Abstract
The bacteriophages (phages) in the watery kimchis (Baek-kimchi and Dongchimi) were characterized to determine the phage ecology of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Kimchi obtained from the Seoul markets had an average of 2.1 log phage particles/mL, corresponding to 28% of the bacterial counts on a log scale. High counts of 5.5-6.5 log particles/mL of phages were noted in the early phase of fermentation (reaching pH 4), and 2.1-3.0 log phage particles/mL were found in the later phase, with some fluctuation in numbers. The LAB hosts changed from Weissella and Leuconostoc to Lactobacillus during Dongchimi fermentation. Fifteen phages, except for those of Lactobacillus, were isolated from diverse strains in the early phase. Five Weissella phages were Podoviridae, and all 10 Leuconostoc phages were Myoviridae. Phages had narrow and different host infection spectra to strains of the same species and high acidic stability. Therefore, the mortality and diversity of LAB during natural kimchi fermentation may be related to the specific phages of the hosts.

A new Leuconostoc citreum strain discovered in the traditional sweet potato sour liquid fermentation as a novel bioflocculant for highly efficient starch production. Food Res Int 2021; 144:110327.

Abstract
Sour liquid fermentation is commonly used in the sedimentation process of traditional starch production, where bacteria play a critical role in starch flocculation. In this study, the dynamic changes of bacterial compositions during sweet potato sour liquid (SPSL) fermentation were profiled using the single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing, unveiling that Leuconostoc citreum, Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides, Lactococcus lactis, and Lactobacillus plantarum were the dominant microorganisms in the process, and Leuconostoc citreum exhibited a strong positive correlation with starch flocculation rate (FR). In total, 75 lactic acid bacterial (LAB) strains were isolated from the SPSL, but only 7 of them caused starch flocculation. For the first time, Leuconostoc citreum strains were reported with excellent starch-flocculating abilities (up to 55.56% FR in 20 min), which might be attributed to their ability to connect starch granules through the cell surface to form large aggregation. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the bacterial dynamics in SPSL fermentation at the species level. A starch flocculation yield of 93.63% was achieved within 1 h by using the newly discovered Leuconostoc citreum SJ-57. The time required for total starch sedimentation was reduced from 10 h to 4 h, compared with the traditional process. These results suggest that this novel bioflocculant is more suitable for modernizing the traditional SPSL fermentation process and achieving rapid and highly efficient starch sedimentation.

Abstract
The supercooling degree (SD), which refers to the difference between the ice nucleation temperature and freezing point of kimchi, varies depending on the type of kimchi, manufacturer, recipe, and manufacturing season. The aim of this study is to investigate the major influencing factors for the supercooled storage of kimchi and to analyze the possibility of supercooled storage for commercial kimchi. Pearson correlation analysis determined that, in commercial kimchi manufactured between March and July 2018, the SD of kimchi correlated to the number of aerobic bacteria (P < 0.01), however, was not associated with lactic acid bacteria. Moreover, the ice nucleation temperature of saline solution inoculated with aerobic bacteria was reduced from -3.03 ± 0.04 to -6.18 ± 0.11 °C by 10 kGy gamma ray sterilization. Meanwhile, the ice nucleation temperatures of 1.8 kg of commercial red cabbage kimchi and 500 g of white cabbage kimchi manufactured in February 2020 were -3.93 ± 0.06 °C and -3.57 ± 0.06 °C, respectively, and they could be stored at -2.5 °C for 12 weeks without freezing. Additionally, supercooled storage of kimchi at -2.5 °C caused a fermentation delay effect compared to control storage at 1 °C, considering the acidity and amount of lactic acid bacteria. Therefore, if the number of aerobic bacteria is controlled during the manufacturing process of kimchi, supercooled storage at temperatures below -2.5 °C may extend the shelf life of kimchi. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: We have shown that aerobic bacteria are the key influencing factor for ice nucleation of kimchi during supercooled storage. Aside from the initial sterilization process, fermentation of kimchi can also be delayed by lowering the storage temperature below -2.5 °C. Moreover, the method of direct cool refrigeration may have an industrial-level application.

Establishment Limitation Constrains the Abundance of Lactic Acid Bacteria in the Napa Cabbage Phyllosphere. Appl Environ Microbiol 2019; 85:AEM.00269-19.

Abstract
Patterns of phyllosphere diversity have become increasingly clear with high-throughput sequencing surveys, but the processes that control phyllosphere diversity are still emerging. Through a combination of lab and field experiments using Napa cabbage and lactic acid bacteria (LAB), we examined how dispersal and establishment processes shape the ecological distributions of phyllosphere bacteria. We first determined the abundance and diversity of LAB on Napa cabbage grown at three sites using both culture-based approaches and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Across all sites, LAB made up less than 0.9% of the total bacterial community abundance. To assess whether LAB were low in abundance in the Napa cabbage phyllosphere due to a limited abundance in local species pools (source limitation), we quantified LAB in leaf and soil samples across 51 vegetable farms and gardens throughout the northeastern United States. Across all sites, LAB comprised less than 3.2% of the soil bacterial communities and less than 1.6% of phyllosphere bacterial communities. To assess whether LAB are unable to grow in the phyllosphere even if they dispersed at high rates (establishment limitation), we used a gnotobiotic Napa cabbage system in the lab with experimental communities mimicking various dispersal rates of LAB. Even at high dispersal rates, LAB became rare or completely undetectable in experimental communities, suggesting that they are also establishment limited. Collectively, our data demonstrate that the low abundance of LAB in phyllosphere communities may be explained by establishment limitation.IMPORTANCE The quality and safety of vegetable fermentations are dependent on the activities of LAB naturally present in the phyllosphere. Despite their critical role in determining the success of fermentation, the processes that determine the abundance and diversity of LAB in vegetables used for fermentation are poorly characterized. Our work demonstrates that the limited ability of LAB to grow in the cabbage phyllosphere environment may constrain their abundance on cabbage leaves. These results suggest that commercial fermentation of Napa cabbage proceeds despite low and variable abundances of LAB across different growing regions. Propagule limitation may also explain ecological distributions of other rare members of phyllosphere microbes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditional Chongqing radish paocai fermented with aged brine is considered to have the most intense flavor and authentic taste. Eight 'Yanzhi' (red, RRPB group) and 'Chunbulao' (white, WRPB) radish paocai brine samples were collected from Chongqing peasant households, and the diversity and community structures of bacteria present in these brines were determined using PacBio single-molecule real-time sequencing of their full-length 16S rRNA genes. RESULTS In total, 30 phyla, 218 genera, and 306 species were identified from the RRPB group, with 20 phyla, 261 genera, and 420 species present in the WRPB group. Obvious differences in bacterial profiles between the RRPB and WRPB groups were found, with the bacterial diversity of the WRPB group shown to be greater than that of the RRPB group. This study revealed several characteristics of the bacteria composition, including the predominance of heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria, the species diversity of genus Pseudomonas, and the presence of three opportunistic pathogenic species. CONCLUSION This study provides detailed information on the bacterial diversity and community structure of Chongqing radish paocai brine samples, and suggests it may be necessary to analyze paocai brine for potential sources of bacterial contamination and take appropriate measures to exclude any pathogenic species. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
To improve the quality of Chinese traditional Paocai, two psychrotolerant lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains were isolated from Paocai, and the quality of Chinese Paocai product using these two strains as starter cultures was compared to a control sample fermented with aged brine at 10 °C. The results suggested that the physicochemical and sensory features of Paocai fermented with psychrotolerant LAB were more suitable for industrial applications. The nitrite content of Paocai fermented with psychrotolerant LAB was 1 mg/kg, which was significantly lower than that of the control Paocai (P < 0.05). Low-temperature fermentation with the starter cultures of psychrotolerant LAB could effectively prevent overacidity and over-ripening of the Paocai products. Additionally, Paocai fermented with psychrotolerant LAB harbored relatively simple microbial flora as revealed by polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. This study provides a basis for improving the quality of Chinese traditional Paocai and the large-scale production of low-temperature Chinese traditional Paocai products.

Abstract
Shortly after the agricultural revolution, the domestication of bacteria, yeasts, and molds, played an essential role in enhancing the stability, quality, flavor, and texture of food products. These domestication events were probably the result of human food production practices that entailed the continual recycling of isolated microbial communities in the presence of abundant agricultural food sources. We suggest that within these novel agrarian food niches the metabolic requirements of those microbes became regular and predictable resulting in rapid genomic specialization through such mechanisms as pseudogenization, genome decay, interspecific hybridization, gene duplication, and horizontal gene transfer. The ultimate result was domesticated strains of microorganisms with enhanced fermentative capacities.
