THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 825:154058. [PMID: 35217045 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.154058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2021] [Revised: 01/24/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized peptides to inhibit food spoilage bacteria, which are widely used as a kind of food biopreservation. The role of bacteriocins in therapeutics and food industries has received increasing attention across a number of disciplines in recent years. Despite their advantages as alternative therapeutics over existing strategies, the application of bacteriocins suffers from shortcomings such as the high isolation and purification cost, narrow spectrum of activity, low stability and solubility and easy enzymatic degradation. Previous studies have studied the synergistic or additive effects of bacteriocins when used in combination with other hurdles including physics, chemicals, and microbes. These combined treatments reduce the adverse effects of chemical additives, extending the shelf life of food products while guaranteeing food quality. This review highlights the advantages and disadvantages of bacteriocins in food preservation. It then reviews the combined effect and mechanism of different hurdles and bacteriocins in enhancing food preservation in detail. The combination of bacterioncins and other hurdles provide potential approaches for maintaining food quality and food safety.

Properties of spores of Bacillus subtilis with or without a transposon that decreases spore germination and increases spore wet heat resistance. J Appl Microbiol 2021; 131:2918-2928. [PMID: 34042237 DOI: 10.1111/jam.15163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2020] [Revised: 03/14/2021] [Accepted: 05/03/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
AIMS This work aimed to determine how genes on transposon Tn1546 slow Bacillus subtilis spore germination and increase wet heat resistance, and to clarify the transposon's 3 gene spoVA operon's role in spore properties, since the seven wild-type SpoVA proteins form a channel transporting Ca2+ -dipicolinic acid (DPA) in spore formation and germination. METHODS AND RESULTS Deletion of the wild-type spoVA operon from a strain with Tn1546 gave spores with slightly reduced wet heat resistance but some large decreases in germination rate. Spore water content and CaDPA analyses found no significant differences in contents of either component in spores with different Tn1546 components or lacking the wild-type spoVA operon. CONCLUSIONS This work indicates that the SpoVA channel encoded by Tn1546 functions like the wild-type SpoVA channel in CaDPA uptake into developing spores, but not as well in germination. The essentially identical CaDPA and water contents of spores with and without Tn1546 indicate that low core water content does not cause elevated wet heat resistance of spores with Tn1546. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Since wet heat resistance of spores of Bacillus species poses problems in the food industry, understanding mechanisms of spores' wet heat resistance is of significant applied interest.

Abstract
There is a need to develop food processing technologies with enhanced antimicrobial capacity against foodborne pathogens. While considering the challenges of adequate inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms in different food matrices, the emerging technologies are also expected to be sustainable and have a minimum impact on food quality and nutrients. Synergistic combinations of food processing technologies and food-grade compounds have a great potential to address these needs. During these combined treatments, food processes directly or indirectly interact with added chemicals, intensifying the overall antimicrobial effect. This review provides an overview of the combinations of different thermal or nonthermal processes with a variety of food-grade compounds that show synergistic antimicrobial effect against pathogenic microorganisms in foods and model systems. Further, we summarize the underlying mechanisms for representative combined treatments that are responsible for the enhanced microbial inactivation. Finally, regulatory issues and challenges for further development and technical transfer of these new approaches at the industrial level are also discussed.

Abstract
Recent developments in preservation technologies allow for the delivery of food with nutritional value and superior taste. Of special interest are low-acid, shelf-stable foods in which the complete control or inactivation of bacterial endospores is the crucial step to ensure consumer safety. Relevant preservation methods can be classified into physicochemical or physical hurdles, and the latter can be subclassified into thermal and nonthermal processes. The underlying inactivation mechanisms for each of these physicochemical or physical processes impact different morphological or molecular structures essential for spore germination and integrity in the dormant state. This review provides an overview of distinct endospore defense mechanisms that affect emerging physical hurdles as well as which technologies address these mechanisms. The physical spore-inactivation technologies considered include thermal, dynamic, and isostatic high pressure and electromagnetic technologies, such as pulsed electric fields, UV light, cold atmospheric pressure plasma, and high- or low-energy electron beam.

Abstract
The expansion of oil sands has made remediation of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) critical. As naphthenic acids (NAs) are the primary contributors to toxicity, remediation is required. Bioremediation by native microorganisms is potentially effective, however, toxicity of NAs towards native microorganisms is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to isolate microorganisms from OSPW, assess tolerance to stressors, including naturally sourced NAs and examine exposure effect of NAs on cell membranes. Microorganisms were isolated from OSPW, including the first reported isolation of a fungus (Trichoderma harzianum) and yeast (Rhodotorula mucilaginosa). Isolates tolerated alkaline pH, high salinity, and NA concentrations far exceeding those typical of OSPW indicating toxic effects of OSPW are likely the result of interactions between OSPW components. Comparisons of toxicity determined that OSPW exhibited higher cytotoxicity than NAs. The fungal isolate was able to grow using commercial NAs as its sole carbon source, indicating high resistance to NAs' cytotoxic effects. Future studies will focus on the organisms' ability to degrade NAs, and subsequent effects on toxicity. Characterization of OSPW constituents should be investigated with focus on the synergistic toxic effects of dissolved compounds. A better understanding of OSPW toxicity would enable more effective and targeted bioremediation schemes by native microorganisms.

The Copy Number of the spoVA 2mob Operon Determines Pressure Resistance of Bacillus Endospores. Appl Environ Microbiol 2019; 85:AEM.01596-19. [PMID: 31375487 DOI: 10.1128/aem.01596-19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2019] [Accepted: 07/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
The spoVA 2mob operon confers heat resistance to Bacillus spp., and the resistance correlates to the copy number of the operon. Bacillus endospores also exhibit a strong variation in resistance to pressure, but the underlying mechanisms of endospore resistance to pressure are not fully understood. We determined the effects of multiple spoVA 2mob operons on high-pressure resistance in Bacillus endospores. The copy numbers of the spoVA 2mob operon in 17 strains of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus velezensis, and Bacillus pumilus were determined via droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and genome sequencing. These strains contained between 0 and 3 copies of the spoVA 2mob operon; the quantification of the gene copy number by ddPCR was as accurate as whole-genome sequencing. We further tested the pressure resistance of 17 Bacillus endospores at 600 MPa and 80°C. Strains with one or no spoVA 2mob operon had significantly lower pressure resistance than strains with two or three copies of the operons (P < 0.001), indicating that redundant spoVA 2mob operons in Bacillus contributed to higher pressure resistance of endospores. The copy number of the spoVA 2mob operon was not related to the dipicolinic acid (DPA) content of endospores. Overall, the copy number of the spoVA 2mob operon contributes to pressure resistance of Bacillus endospores. This improves our understanding of the pressure resistance mechanisms in Bacillus spp. and may inform the development of high-pressure sterilization in food processing.IMPORTANCE Bacillus spp. are considered pressure-resistant microorganisms, but the resistance mechanisms remain unknown. The spoVA 2mob operon is a mobile genetic element, and it can transfer to pathogenic or spoilage organisms by horizontal gene transfer. Results in this study indicate that multiple copies of the spoVA 2mob operon mediate high-pressure resistance of Bacillus endospores, and it might contribute to the identification of the source of pressure-resistant pathogens and spoilage organisms that may contaminate the food supply. The droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) system is well suited for analysis in some human diseases due to its high efficiency and capability to provide high precision; however, no relevant studies in food microbiology have been reported so far. This study demonstrates a novel application of ddPCR in food microbiology.

Abstract
The pressure resistance of Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) depends on food matrix. This study compared the resistance of two five-strain E. coli cocktails, as well as the pressure resistant strain E. coli AW1.7, to hydrostatic pressure application in bruschetta, tzatziki, yoghurt and ground beef at 600 MPa, 20 °C for 3 min and during post-pressure survival at 4 °C. Pressure reduced STEC in plant and dairy products by more than 5 logs (cfu/ml) but not in ground beef. The pH affected the resistance of STEC to pressure as well as the post-pressure survival. E. coli with food constituents including calcium, magnesium, glutamate, caffeic acid and acetic acid were treated at 600 MPa, 20 °C. All compounds exhibited a protective effect on E. coli. The antimicrobial compounds ethanol and phenylethanol enhanced the inactivation by pressure. Calcium and magnesium also performed protective effects on E. coli during storage. Glutamate, glutamine or glutathione did not significantly influence the post-pressure survival over 12 days. Preliminary investigation on cell membrane was further performed through the use of fluorescence probe 1-N-phenylnaphthylamine. Pressure effectively permeabilised cell membrane, whereas calcium showed no effects on membrane permeabilisation.

Abstract
The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of thermal treatments (isothermal or nonisothermal) combined with nisin, a natural antimicrobial, on the survival and recovery of Clostridium sporogenes spores. The addition of nisin to the heating medium at concentrations up to 0.1 mg liter(-1) did not reduce the heat resistance of C. sporogenes. Without a thermal treatment, nisin added at concentrations up to 0.1 mg liter(-1) did not reduce the viable counts of C. sporogenes when added to the recovery medium, but inactivation of more than 4 log cycles was achieved after only 3 s at 100°C. At 100°C, the time needed to reduce viable counts by more than 3 log cycles was nine times shorter when 0.01 mg liter(-1) nisin was added to the recovery medium than without it. The heat resistance values calculated under isothermal conditions were used to predict the survival in the nonisothermal experiments, and the predicted values accurately fit the experimental data. The combination of nisin with a thermal treatment can help control C. sporogenes.

Involvement of Coat Proteins in Bacillus subtilis Spore Germination in High-Salinity Environments. Appl Environ Microbiol 2015; 81:6725-35.

Abstract
The germination of spore-forming bacteria in high-salinity environments is of applied interest for food microbiology and soil ecology. It has previously been shown that high salt concentrations detrimentally affect Bacillus subtilis spore germination, rendering this process slower and less efficient. The mechanistic details of these salt effects, however, remained obscure. Since initiation of nutrient germination first requires germinant passage through the spores' protective integuments, the aim of this study was to elucidate the role of the proteinaceous spore coat in germination in high-salinity environments. Spores lacking major layers of the coat due to chemical decoating or mutation germinated much worse in the presence of NaCl than untreated wild-type spores at comparable salinities. However, the absence of the crust, the absence of some individual nonmorphogenetic proteins, and the absence of either CwlJ or SleB had no or little effect on germination in high-salinity environments. Although the germination of spores lacking GerP (which is assumed to facilitate germinant flow through the coat) was generally less efficient than the germination of wild-type spores, the presence of up to 2.4 M NaCl enhanced the germination of these mutant spores. Interestingly, nutrient-independent germination by high pressure was also inhibited by NaCl. Taken together, these results suggest that (i) the coat has a protective function during germination in high-salinity environments; (ii) germination inhibition by NaCl is probably not exerted at the level of cortex hydrolysis, germinant accessibility, or germinant-receptor binding; and (iii) the most likely germination processes to be inhibited by NaCl are ion, Ca(2+)-dipicolinic acid, and water fluxes.

Abstract
Cold-tolerant, neurotoxigenic, endospore forming Clostridium (C.) botulinum type E belongs to the non-proteolytic physiological C. botulinum group II, is primarily associated with aquatic environments, and presents a safety risk for seafood. High pressure thermal (HPT) processing exploiting the synergistic effect of pressure and temperature can be used to inactivate bacterial endospores. We investigated the inactivation of C. botulinum type E spores by (near) isothermal HPT treatments at 300–1200 MPa at 30–75°C for 1 s to 10 min. The occurrence of heat and lysozyme susceptible spore fractions after such treatments was determined. The experimental data were modeled to obtain kinetic parameters and represented graphically by isoeffect lines. In contrast to findings for spores of other species and within the range of treatment parameters applied, zones of spore stabilization (lower inactivation than heat treatments alone), large heat susceptible (HPT-induced germinated) or lysozyme-dependently germinable (damaged coat layer) spore fractions were not detected. Inactivation followed first order kinetics. Dipicolinic acid release kinetics allowed for insights into possible inactivation mechanisms suggesting a (poorly effective) physiologic-like (similar to nutrient-induced) germination at ≤450 MPa/≤45°C and non-physiological germination at >500 MPa/>60–70°C. Results of this study support the existence of some commonalities in the HPT inactivation mechanism of C. botulinum type E spores and Bacillus spores although both organisms have significantly different HPT resistance properties. The information presented here contributes to closing the gap in knowledge regarding the HPT inactivation of spore formers relevant to food safety and may help industrial implementation of HPT processing. The markedly lower HPT resistance of C. botulinum type E spores compared with the resistance of spores from other C. botulinum types could allow for the implementation of milder processes without endangering food safety.

Abstract
The inactivation of bacterial spores generally proceeds faster and at lower temperatures when heat treatments are conducted under high pressure, and high pressure high temperature (HPHT) processing is, therefore, receiving an increased interest from food processors. However, the mechanisms of spore inactivation by HPHT treatment are poorly understood, particularly at moderately elevated temperature. In the current work, we studied inactivation of the spores of Bacillus cereus F4430/73 by HPHT treatment for 5 min at 600MPa in the temperature range of 50-100°C, using temperature increments of 5°C. Additionally, we investigated the effect of the natural antimicrobial carvacrol on spore germination and inactivation under these conditions. Spore inactivation by HPHT was less than about 1 log unit at 50 to 70°C, but gradually increased at higher temperatures up to about 5 log units at 100°C. DPA release and loss of spore refractility in the spore population were higher at moderate (≤65°C) than at high (≥70°C) treatment temperatures, and we propose that moderate conditions induced the normal physiological pathway of spore germination resulting in fully hydrated spores, while at higher temperatures this pathway was suppressed and replaced by another mechanism of pressure-induced dipicolinic acid (DPA) release that results only in partial spore rehydration, probably because spore cortex hydrolysis is inhibited. Carvacrol strongly suppressed DPA release and spore rehydration during HPHT treatment at ≤65°C and also partly inhibited DPA release at ≥65°C. Concomitantly, HPHT spore inactivation was reduced by carvacrol at 65-90°C but unaffected at 95-100°C.
