Corfield R, Allievi MC, Rivero R, López TA, Pérez OE, Salvatori D, Schebor C. An Apple and Acáchul Berry Snack Rich in Bioaccessible Antioxidants and Folic Acid: A Healthy Alternative for Prenatal Diets. Foods 2024; 13:692. [PMID: 38472805 DOI: 10.3390/foods13050692] [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: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
A fruit leather (apple and acáchul berry) oriented toward women of reproductive age was developed. The snack was supplemented with an ingredient composed of folic acid (FA) and whey proteins (WPI) to ensure the required vitamin intake to prevent fetal neural tube defects. In order to generate a low-calorie snack, alternative sweeteners were used (stevia and maltitol). The fruit leather composition was determined. Also, an in vitro digestion process was carried out to evaluate the bioaccessibility of compounds with antioxidant capacity (AC), total polyphenols (TPCs), total monomeric anthocyanins (ACY), and FA. The quantification of FA was conducted by a microbiological method and by HPLC. The leather contained carbohydrates (70%) and antioxidant compounds, mainly from fruits. Bioaccessibility was high for AC (50%) and TPCs (90%), and low for ACY (17%). Regarding FA, bioaccessibility was higher for WPI-FA (50%) than for FA alone (37%), suggesting that WPI effectively protected the vitamin from processing and digestion. Furthermore, the product was shown to be non-cytotoxic in a Caco-2 cell model. The developed snack is an interesting option due to its low energy intake, no added sugar, and high content of bioactive compounds. Also, the supplementation with WPI-FA improved the conservation and bioaccessibility of FA.

Abstract
In this study, the immunomodulatory and antioxidant activity of fermented Caulerpa microphysa byproduct (FCMB) by Bacillus subtilis was evaluated, and its potential as a feed additive for white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) was explored. In vitro experiments showed that the FCMB supernatant contained polysaccharides, polyphenols and flavonoids, and exhibited antioxidant properties as assessed by various antioxidant assays. Additionally, the FCMB supernatant was found to increase the production rate of reactive oxygen species and the activity of phenoloxidase in hemocytes in vitro. Furthermore, the results of the in vivo feeding trial showed that dietary 5 g kg-1 FCMB significantly improved the weight gain and specific growth rate of white shrimp after 56 days of feeding. Although there were no significant differences in total hemocyte count, phagocytosis, superoxide anion production rate, and phenoloxidase activity among the experimental groups, upregulation of immune-related genes was observed, particularly in the hepatopancreas and hemocytes of shrimps fed with 5 g or 50 g FCMB per kg feed, respectively. In the pathogen challenge assay, white shrimp fed with 5 % FCMB exhibited a higher survival rate compared to the control group following Vibrio parahaemolyticus challenge. Therefore, it is concluded that the fermented byproduct of C. microphysa, FCMB, holds potential as a feed additive for enhancing the growth performance and disease resistance against V. parahaemolyticus in white shrimp.

Abstract
Quorum sensing (QS) in bacteria has been well studied as a cellular communication phenomenon for decades. In recent years, such systems have been repurposed for the use of biosensors in both cellular and cell-free contexts as well as for inducible protein expression in nontraditional chassis organisms. Such biosensors are particularly intriguing when considering the association between the pathogenesis of some bacteria and their signaling intermediates. Considering this relationship and considering the recent demonstration of the species Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 as both a synthetic biology chassis and an organism capable of detecting a pathogen-associated QS molecule, we wanted to develop this organism as a QS sentinel. We used an approach combining techniques from both systems and synthetic biology to identify a number of native QS-response genes and to alter associated promoter activity to tune the output of L. plantarum cultures exposed to N-3-oxododecanoyl homoserine lactone. The resulting engineered QS sentinel reinforces the potential of modified lactic acid bacteria (LAB) for use in human-health-promoting applications and also demonstrates a simple rational workflow to engineer sentinel organisms to respond to any environmental or chemical stimuli.

Abstract
Lactobacillus delbrueckii, the type species of the genus Lactobacillus, is widely recognized as the primary starter culture in the dairy industry due to its proteolytic activity, which enables it to growth in milk. In this study, a comprehensive genomic analysis of the proteolytic system was conducted on L. delbrueckii strains. The analysis included 27 genomes of L. delbrueckii, with a specific focus on the key enzyme involved in this system, the cell envelope-associated proteinase (CEP). The amino acid sequences, as well as the protein-structure prediction of the CEPs, were compared. Additionally, syntenic analysis of the genomic locus related to the CEPs revealed high conservation in L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus strains, while L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis strains exhibited greater variability, including the presence of insertion sequences, deletions, and rearrangements. Finally, the CEP promoter region and putative regulatory elements responsible for controlling the expression of the proteolytic system in lactobacilli were investigated. Our genomic analysis and in silico characterization of the CEPs contribute to our understanding of proteolytic activity and the potential applications of these lactic acid bacteria in the dairy industry. Further research in this area will expand our knowledge and potential practical uses of these findings.

Abstract
Dual-platform metabolomics combined with multivariate data analysis was used to investigate the effects of adding fish gelatin (FGH) at different degrees of hydrolysis (DH) on the growth and metabolic pathways of different species of Lactobacillus in fermented milk. The results showed that the promotion effect of FGH on Lactobacillus was related to the species of probiotics. The corresponding metabolic pathways also changed, with the promotion of Lactobacillus by FGH mainly regulated through amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, and nucleotide metabolism pathways. The excess DH inhibited the growth of L. paracasei by adjusting its metabolic state through reducing nucleotide requirements, allocating protein resources, and adopting a stress response. In conclusion, this study revealed the effectiveness of dual-platform metabolomics in explaining the metabolic mechanisms of probiotics, providing theoretical support and a scientific basis for the development of functional fermented foods.

Abstract
Protein hydrolysates are a promising source of bioactive peptides. One strategy by which they can be obtained is fermentation. This method uses the proteolytic system of microorganisms to hydrolyze the parental protein. Fermentation is a little-explored method for obtaining protein hydrolysates from amaranth. Different strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and Bacillus species isolated from goat milk, broccoli, aguamiel, and amaranth flour were used in this work. First, the total protein degradation (%TPD) of amaranth demonstrated by the strains was determined. The results ranged from 0 to 95.95%, the strains that produced a higher %TPD were selected. These strains were identified by molecular biology and were found to correspond to the genera Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Bacillus, and Leuconostoc. Fermentation was carried out with amaranth flour and the selected strains. After this process, water/salt extracts (WSE) containing the released protein hydrolysates were obtained from amaranth doughs. The peptide concentration was measured by the OPA method. The antioxidant, antihypertensive and antimicrobial activity of the WSE was evaluated. In the FRAP test, the best WSE was LR9 with a concentration of 1.99 μMTE/L ± 0.07. In ABTS, 18C6 obtained the highest concentration with 19.18 μMTE/L ± 0.96. In the DPPH test, there was no significant difference. In terms of antihypertensive activity, inhibition percentages ranging from 0 to 80.65% were obtained. Some WSE were found to have antimicrobial properties against Salmonella enterica and Listeria monocytogenes. Fermentation of amaranth with LAB and Bacillus spp. allowed the release of protein hydrolysates with antioxidant, antihypertensive, and antimicrobial activity.

Abstract
In the present work, two cell-envelope proteinases (CEPs) from Lacticaseibacillus casei strains PRA205 and 2006 were characterized at both the biochemical and genetic levels. The genomes of both L. casei strains included two putative CEPs genes prtP2 and prtR1, but only prtR1 was transcribed. The extracted PrtR1 proteinases were serine proteinases with optimal activity at 40 °C and pH 7.5, and were activated by Ca2+ ions. Interestingly, PrtR1 from L. casei PRA205 exhibited high residual activity at pH 4 and at 5 °C, suggesting its possible exploitation for fermented food production. The caseinolytic activity against αS1- and β-casein indicated that both PrtR1s belonged to the PI/PIII type. These PrtR1s cleaved β-casein peptide bonds preferentially when amino acid M or N was present at the P1 subsite and amino acids A and D were at the P1' subsite. Several bioactive peptides were found to be released from PrtR1 after αs1- and β-casein hydrolysis.

Abstract
The distinctive flavours in hard cheeses are attributed largely to the activity of nonstarter lactic acid bacteria (NSLAB) which dominate the cheese matrix during maturation after lactose is consumed. Understanding how different strains of NSLAB survive, compete, and scavenge available nutrients is fundamental to selecting strains as potential adjunct starters which may influence product traits. Three Lacticaseibacillus paracasei isolates which dominated at different stages over 63-week maturation periods of Australian Cheddar cheeses had the same molecular biotype. They shared many phenotypic traits, including salt tolerance, optimum growth temperature, growth on N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylgalactosamine plus delayed growth on D-ribose, carbon sources likely present in cheese due to bacterial autolysis. However, strains 124 and 163 (later named GCRL163) survived longer at low pH and grew on D-tagatose and D-mannitol, differentiating this phenotype from strain 122. When cultured on growth-limiting lactose (0.2%, wt/vol) in the presence of high concentrations of L-leucine and other amino acids, GCRL163 produced, and subsequently consumed lactate, forming acetic and formic acids, and demonstrated temporal accumulation of intermediates in pyruvate metabolism in long-term cultures. Strain GCRL163 grew in Tween 80-tryptone broths, a trait not shared by all L. casei-group dairy isolates screened in this study. Including citrate in this medium stimulated growth of GCRL163 above citrate alone, suggesting cometabolism of citrate and Tween 80. Proteomic analysis of cytosolic proteins indicated that growth in Tween 80 produced a higher stress state and increased relative abundance of three cell envelope proteinases (CEPs) (including PrtP and Dumpy), amongst over 230 differentially expressed proteins.

Abstract
Proteinase PrtP (EC:3.4.21.96) is a cell envelope proteinase (CEP) highly expressed in the probiotic strain Lactobacillus paracasei BL312(VSL#3) that accounts for its anti-inflammatory properties. The main aim of this work is to understand differences in CEP expression between this strain and L. paracasei BL23. Hence, differences in the regulation by amino acid sources of four proteinase related genes (prtP, prsA, prtR1 and prtR2) were determined by RT-qPCR in BL312(VSL#3) and BL23 using as a reference BL368, a BL23 derepressed mutant lacking the response regulator (RR) PrcR. BL312(VSL#3) showed greater expression of prtP (2- to 3-fold) than BL23, and prtP was highly repressed by peptone in both strains. Two other putative CEP genes, prtR1 and prtR2, showed a low expression profile. Interestingly, when the prsA-prtP promoter region from both strains, and deleted mutants, were cloned in vector pT1GR, expression of the gfp and mrfp fluorescent reporters was always repressed in BL23 (high or low peptone) and derepressed in BL368, revealing an interesting mechanism of regulation affecting specifically to this promoter. In conclusion, BL312(VSL#3) has higher expression of prtP and other CEP related genes than BL23, that could respond to a natural deregulation in this strain, possibly independent from the RR PrcR.

Lactic acid production using cheese whey based medium in a stirred tank reactor by a ccpA mutant of Lacticaseibacillus casei. World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 37:61.

Abstract
In lactobacilli, CcpA is known to modulate the expression of genes involved in sugar metabolism, stress response and aerobic adaptation. This study aimed to evaluate a ccpA mutant of Lacticaseibacillus casei BL23 to increase lactic acid production using cheese whey. The ccpA derivative (BL71) showed better growth than the L. casei wild-type in the whey medium. In a stirred tank reactor, at 48 h, lactate production by BL71 was eightfold higher than that by BL23. In batch fermentations, the final values reached were 44.23 g L-1 for BL71 and 27.58 g L-1 for BL23. Due to a decrease in the delay of lactate production in the mutant, lactate productivity increased from 0.17 g (L.h)-1 with BL23 to 0.80 g (L.h)-1 with BL71. We found that CcpA would play additional roles in nitrogen metabolism by the regulation of the proteolytic system. BL71 displayed higher activity of the PepX, PepQ and PrtP enzymes than BL23. Analysis of prtP expression confirmed this deregulation in BL71. Promoter analysis of the prtP gene revealed CcpA binding sites with high identity to the cre consensus sequence and the interaction of CcpA with this promoter was confirmed in vitro. We postulate that deregulation of the proteolytic system in BL71 allows a better exploitation of nitrogen resources in cheese whey, resulting in enhanced fermentation capacity. Therefore, the ccpA gene could be a good target for future technological developments aimed at effective and inexpensive lactate production from dairy industrial wastes.

Abstract
During industrial handling, Lactococcus lactis needs to adapt to different culture conditions by regulating its metabolic pathways. Modifying culture conditions may be an important way to control the biomass and functional metabolites of lactic acid bacteria. In this study, we identified the differentially expressed genes and proteins of L. lactis under different culture conditions by integrating transcriptomics and proteomics. We also analyzed the data using a bioinformatic approach to reveal the regulatory mechanisms affected by culture conditions. The transcriptome and proteome studies indicated that different culture conditions (fructose, calcium ion, palmitic acid, low pH) affected gene and protein expressions. The levels of differentially expressed proteins did not significantly correlate with the expression levels of their corresponding genes. Our results highlight the importance of comparative transcriptomics and proteomics analyses. In this study, fructose and pH significantly affected sugar metabolism of L. lactis. When lactose was replaced by fructose, fructokinase expression was promoted, and fructose metabolism was accelerated, whereas starch and sucrose metabolism and galactose metabolism system were inhibited. Low pH may be beneficial to homofermentation of L. lactis, which may also metabolize galactose through the tagatose pathway and the Leloir pathway. Fatty acid metabolism and fatty acid biosynthesis were significantly downregulated under calcium ion and palmitic acid. The purine metabolism was upregulated under fructose treatment and downregulated under palmitic acid treatment.

Abstract
Fermentation processes in foods often lead to changes in nutritional and biochemical quality relative to the starting ingredients. Fermented foods comprise very complex ecosystems consisting of enzymes from raw ingredients that interact with the fermenting microorganisms’ metabolic activities. Fermenting microorganisms provide a unique approach towards food stability via physical and biochemical changes in fermented foods. These fermented foods can benefit consumers compared to simple foods in terms of antioxidants, production of peptides, organoleptic and probiotic properties, and antimicrobial activity. It also helps in the levels of anti-nutrients and toxins level. The quality and quantity of microbial communities in fermented foods vary based on the manufacturing process and storage conditions/durability. This review contributes to current research on biochemical changes during the fermentation of foods. The focus will be on the changes in the biochemical compounds that determine the characteristics of final fermented food products from original food resources.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to apply a combination of the microbial starters Lactobacillus uvarum LUHS245, Lactobacillus casei LUHS210, Pediococcus acidilactici LUHS29, and Pediococcus pentosaceus LUHS183 for feed fermentation and to evaluate the influence of fermentation on feed acidity and microbiological characteristics, as well as on the piglet feces microbiota, health, and growth performance. Additionally, mycotoxin biotransformation was analyzed, including masked mycotoxins, in feed and piglet feces samples. The 36-day experiment was conducted using 25-day-old Large White/Norwegian Landrace (LW/NL) piglets with an initial body weight of 6.9–7.0 kg, which were randomly distributed into two groups (in each 100 piglets): control group, fed with basal diet (based on barley, wheat, potato protein, soybean protein concentrate, and whey powder), and treated group, fed with fermented feed at 500 g kg−1 of total feed. Compared to a commercially available lactic acid bacteria (LAB) combination, the novel LAB mixture effectively reduced feed pH (on average pH 3.65), produced a 2-fold higher content of L(+) lactic acid, increased viable LAB count [on average 8.8 log10 colony-forming units (CFU) g−1], and led to stable feed fermentation during the entire test period (36 days). Fecal microbiota analysis showed an increased number of probiotic bacteria in the treated group, particularly Lactobacillus, when compared with the control group at the end of experiment. This finding indicates that fermented feed can modify microbial profile change in the gut of pigs. In treated piglets' blood (at day 61), the serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and triglycerides (TG) were significantly higher, but the levels of T4, glucose, K, alkaline phosphatase (AP), and urea were significantly decreased (p ≤ 0.05) compared with the control group. Mycotoxin analysis showed that alternariol monomethyl ether (AME) and altenuene were found in 61-day-old control piglets' feces and in fermented feed samples. However, AME was not found in treated piglets' feces. Feed fermentation with the novel LAB combination is a promising means to modulate piglets' microbiota, which is essential to improve nutrient absorption, growth performance, and health parameters. The new LAB composition suggests a novel dietary strategy to positively manipulate fermented feed chemicals and bio-safety and the piglet gut microbial ecology to reduce antimicrobials use in pig production and increase local feed stock uses and economical effectiveness of the process.

Abstract
With rapidly ageing populations, the world is experiencing unsustainable healthcare from chronic diseases such as metabolic, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and cancer disorders. Healthy diet and lifestyle might contribute to prevent these diseases and potentially enhance health outcomes in patients during and after therapy. Fermented dairy foods (FDFs) found their origin concurrently with human civilization for increasing milk shelf-life and enhancing sensorial attributes. Although the probiotic concept has been developed more recently, FDFs, such as milks and yoghurt, have been unconsciously associated with health-promoting effects since ancient times. These health benefits rely not only on the occurrence of fermentation-associated live microbes (mainly lactic acid bacteria; LAB), but also on the pro-health molecules (PHMs) mostly derived from microbial conversion of food compounds. Therefore, there is a renaissance of interest toward traditional fermented food as a reservoir of novel microbes producing PHMs, and “hyperfoods” can be tailored to deliver these healthy molecules to humans. In FDFs, the main PHMs are bioactive peptides (BPs) released from milk proteins by microbial proteolysis. BPs display a pattern of biofunctions such as anti-hypertensive, antioxidant, immuno-modulatory, and anti-microbial activities. Here, we summarized the BPs most frequently encountered in dairy food and their biological activities; we reviewed the main studies exploring the potential of dairy microbiota to release BPs; and delineated the main effectors of the proteolytic LAB systems responsible for BPs release.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to characterize the proteolytic activity of 170 Lactobacillus strains isolated from traditional Mongolian dairy products (yogurt and fermented milk), and to investigate their capacity to generate bioactive peptides during milk fermentation. All isolates were screened for proteolytic activity using skim milk agar-well diffusion test. Fifteen strains (9 Lactobacillus helveticus and 6 Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus) were then selected and further evaluated using an original strategy based on multiparametric analysis, taking into account growth rate, acidification capacity, proteolytic activity, cell envelope associated peptidase (CEP) profile and LC-MS/MS analysis of peptides. All parameters were analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA). Results showed that strain growth and acidification correlate with peptide production and that Mongolian L. helveticus strains differ from Western strains in terms of CEP distribution. The PCA revealed that CEP profiles are major determinants of β-casein hydrolysis patterns. Strains with distinctive proteolytic activities were identified.

Abstract
As a free-living bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides needs to respond to many environmental stresses. Oxidative stress, membrane stress or heat stress induce the ompR-1 gene encoding a protein of the OmpR family. Overexpression of OmpR-1 results in increased resistance to organic peroxides and diamide. Our data demonstrate that OmpR-1 positively affects expression of several sRNAs with an established role in R. sphaeroides stress defences and negatively affects the promoter of the rpoHI gene. The RpoHI sigma factor has a main role in the activation of many stress responses. Thus OmpR-1 has a balancing effect on the activation of the RpoHI regulon. We present a model with OmpR-1 as part of a regulatory network controlling stress defences in R. sphaeroides.

Abstract
To compensate for their amino acid auxotrophy, lactobacilli have developed the ability to hydrolyze proteins present in their environment. This proteolytic activity not only generates the free amino acids needed by the bacteria, but also a large variety of peptides, some of which are endowed with biological activities. These so-called “bioactive peptides” (BAPs) are interesting from a nutrition and healthcare perspective. The use of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) such as lactobacilli is an effective strategy for production and valorization of new BAPs. The proteolytic activity of lactobacilli is exerted in a strain- and species-dependent manner: each species exhibits different proteinase content, leading to a large variety of proteolytic activities. This underlines the high potential of Lactobacillus strains to produce novel hydrolysates and BAPs of major interest. This review aims at discussing the potential of different Lactobacillus species to release BAPs from fermentation media and processes. Strategies used for peptide production are presented. Additionally, we propose a methodology to select the most promising Lactobacillus strains as sources of BAPs. This methodology combines conventional approaches and in silico analyses.

Abstract
The proteolytic system of Lactobacillus plays an essential role in bacterial growth, contributes to the flavor development of fermented products, and can release bioactive health-beneficial peptides during milk fermentation. In this work, a genomic analysis of all genes involved in the proteolytic system of L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis CRL 581 was performed. Genes encoding the cell envelope-associated proteinase, two peptide transport systems, and sixteen peptidases were identified. The influence of the peptide supply on the transcription of 23 genes involved in the proteolytic system of L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis was examined after cell growth in a chemically defined medium (CDM) and CDM supplemented with Casitone. prtL, oppA 1, optS, optA genes as well as oppDFBC and optBCDF operons were the most highly expressed genes in CDM; their expression being repressed 6- to 115-fold by the addition of peptides. The transcriptional analysis was confirmed by proteomics; the up-regulation of the PrtL, PepG, OppD and OptF proteins in the absence of peptides was observed while the DNA-binding protein YebC was up-regulated by peptides. Binding of YebC to the promoter region of prtL, oppA 1, and optS, demonstrated by electrophoretic mobility shift assays, showed that YebC acts as a transcriptional repressor of key proteolytic genes.

Abstract
Two-component systems (TCSs) are widespread signal transduction pathways mainly found in bacteria where they play a major role in adaptation to changing environmental conditions. TCSs generally consist of sensor histidine kinases that autophosphorylate in response to a specific stimulus and subsequently transfer the phosphate group to their cognate response regulators thus modulating their activity, usually as transcriptional regulators. In this review we present the current knowledge on the physiological role of TCSs in species of the families Lactobacillaceae and Leuconostocaceae of the group of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). LAB are microorganisms of great relevance for health and food production as the group spans from starter organisms to pathogens. Whereas the role of TCSs in pathogenic LAB (most of them belonging to the family Streptococcaceae) has focused the attention, the roles of TCSs in commensal LAB, such as most species of Lactobacillaceae and Leuconostocaceae, have been somewhat neglected. However, evidence available indicates that TCSs are key players in the regulation of the physiology of these bacteria. The first studies in food-associated LAB showed the involvement of some TCSs in quorum sensing and production of bacteriocins, but subsequent studies have shown that TCSs participate in other physiological processes, such as stress response, regulation of nitrogen metabolism, regulation of malate metabolism, and resistance to antimicrobial peptides, among others.
