Polysaccharide intercellular adhesin and proper phospholipid composition are important for aggregation in Tetragenococcus halophilus SL10. Appl Environ Microbiol 2024; 90:e0033424.

Abstract
Aggregating strains of Tetragenococcus halophilus tend to be trapped during soy sauce mash-pressing process and are, therefore, critical for clear soy sauce production. However, the precise molecular mechanism involved in T. halophilus aggregation remains elusive. In previous studies, we isolated a number of aggregating strains, including T. halophilus AB4 and AL1, and showed that a cell surface proteinaceous aggregation factor is responsible for their aggregation phenotype. In the present study, we explored the role of polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA) in aggregate formation in T. halophilus SL10, isolated from soy sauce. SL10 exhibited similar aggregation to AB4 and AL1 but formed a non-uniform precipitate with distinctive wrinkles at the bottom of the test tube, unlike AB4 and AL1. Insertion sequence mutations in each gene of the ica operon diminished aggregation and PIA production, highlighting the critical role of IcaADBC-mediated PIA production in T. halophilus aggregation. Furthermore, two non-aggregating cardiolipin synthase (cls) gene mutants with intact ica operon did not produce detectable PIA. Phospholipid composition analysis in cls mutants revealed a decrease in cardiolipin and an increase in phosphatidylglycerol levels, highlighting the association between phospholipid composition and PIA production. These findings provide evidence for the pivotal role of cls in PIA-mediated aggregation and lay the foundation for future studies to understand the intricate networks of the multiple aggregation factors governing microbial aggregation.IMPORTANCEAggregation, commonly observed in various microbes, triggers biofilm formation in pathogenic variants and plays a beneficial role in efficient food production in those used for food production. Here, we showed that Tetragenococcus halophilus, a microorganism used in soy sauce fermentation, forms aggregates in a polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA)-mediated manner. Additionally, we unveiled the relationship between phospholipid composition and PIA production. This study provides evidence for the presence of aggregation factors in T. halophilus other than the proteinaceous aggregation factor and suggests that further understanding of the coordinated action of these factors may improve clarified soy sauce production.

Abstract
Probiotics are live microorganisms exerting beneficial effects on the host's health when administered in adequate amounts. Among the most popular and adequately studied probiotics are bacteria from the families Lactobacillaceae, Bifidobacteriaceae and yeasts. Most of them have been shown, both in vitro and in vivo studies of intestinal inflammation models, to provide favorable results by means of improving the gut microbiota composition, promoting the wound healing process and shaping the immunological responses. Chronic intestinal conditions, such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), are characterized by an imbalance in microbiota composition, with decreased diversity, and by relapsing and persisting inflammation, which may lead to mucosal damage. Although the results of the clinical studies investigating the effect of probiotics on patients with IBD are still controversial, it is without doubt that these microorganisms and their metabolites, now named postbiotics, have a positive influence on both the host's microbiota and the immune system, and ultimately alter the topical tissue microenvironment. This influence is achieved through three axes: (1) By displacement of potential pathogens via competitive exclusion; (2) by offering protection to the host through the secretion of various defensive mediators; and (3) by supplying the host with essential nutrients. We will analyze and discuss almost all the in vitro and in vivo studies of the past 2 years dealing with the possible favorable effects of certain probiotic genus on gut immunological responses, highlighting which species are the most beneficial against intestinal inflammation.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Tetragenococcus halophilus is a halophilic lactic acid bacterium generally used as a starter culture in fermenting soy and fish sauces. Aggregating strains can be useful in fermenting and obtaining clear soy sauce because cell clumps are trapped by the filter cake when the soy sauce mash is pressed. However, the genetic mechanisms of aggregation in T. halophilus are unknown. In this study, we identified genes encoding aggregation factor and its regulator. These findings may provide a foundation for developing improved T. halophilus starter cultures for soy sauce fermentation, leading to more efficient and consistent clear soy sauce production.

Abstract
Batten disease is a group of mostly pediatric neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorders caused by mutations in the CLN1-14 genes. We have recently shown that acidified drinking water attenuated neuropathological changes and improved motor function in the Cln1R151X and Cln3-/- mouse models of infantile CLN1 and juvenile CLN3 diseases. Here we tested if acidified drinking water has beneficial effects in Cln2R207X mice, a nonsense mutant model of late infantile CLN2 disease. Cln2R207X mice have motor deficits, muscle weakness, develop tremors, and die prematurely between 4 and 6 months of age. Acidified water administered to Cln2R207X male mice from postnatal day 21 significantly improved motor function, restored muscle strength and prevented tremors as measured at 3 months of age. Acidified drinking water also changed disease trajectory, slightly delaying the death of Cln2R207X males and females. The gut microbiota compositions of Cln2R207X and wild-type male mice were markedly different and acidified drinking water significantly altered the gut microbiota of Cln2R207X mice. This suggests that gut bacteria might contribute to the beneficial effects of acidified drinking water. Our study demonstrates that drinking water is a major environmental factor that can alter disease phenotypes and disease progression in rodent disease models.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The microbiota of a seasoning sauce fermentation process is usually complex and includes multiple species and even various strains of one species. Moreover, composition and cell numbers of individual strains vary over the course of the entire fermentation. This study demonstrates the applicability of a multiplex PCR system to monitor growth dynamics of Tetragenococcus (T.) halophilus strains in order to evaluate their performance and help to select the most competitive starter strain. RESULTS In a previous study we isolated T. halophilus strains from multiple lupine moromi fermentation processes and characterized them. In this study we wanted to monitor the growth dynamics of these strains in a competitive lupine moromi model fermentation process using a multiplex PCR system. Therefore, pasteurized lupine koji was inoculated with eight different T. halophilus strains, six from lupine moromi, one from an experimental buckwheat moromi fermentation process and the type strain DSM 20,339T, to create the inoculated lupine moromi pilot scale fermentation process. With the multiplex PCR system, we could detect that all strains could grow in lupine moromi but, that TMW 2.2254 and TMW 2.2264 outperformed all other strains. Both strains dominated the fermentation after three weeks with cell counts between 4 × 106 to 4 × 107 CFU/mL for TMW 2.2254 and 1 × 107 to 5 × 107 CFU/mL for TMW 2.2264. The pH dropped to value below 5 within the first 7 days, the selection of these strains might be related to their acid tolerance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tetragenococcus (T.) halophilus is a common member of the microbial consortia of food fermented under high salt conditions. These comprises salty condiments based on soy or lupine beans, fish sauce, shrimp paste and brined anchovies. Within these fermentations this lactic acid bacterium (LAB) is responsible for the formation of lactic and other short chain acids that contribute to the flavor and lower the pH of the product. In this study, we investigated the transcriptomic profile of the two T. halophilus strains TMW 2.2254 and TMW 2.2256 in a lupine moromi model medium supplied with galactose. To get further insights into which genomic trait is important, we used a setup with two strains. That way we can determine if strain dependent pathways contribute to the overall fitness. These strains differ in the ability to utilize L-arginine, L-aspartate, L-arabinose, D-sorbitol, glycerol, D-lactose or D-melibiose. The lupine moromi model medium is an adapted version of the regular MRS medium supplied with lupine peptone instead of casein peptone and meat extract, to simulate the amino acid availabilities in lupine moromi. RESULTS The transcriptomic profiles of the T. halophilus strains TMW 2.2254 and TMW 2.2256 in a lupine peptone-based model media supplied with galactose, used as simulation media for a lupine seasoning sauce fermentation, were compared to the determine potentially important traits. Both strains, have a great overlap in their response to the culture conditions but some strain specific features such as the utilization of glycerol, sorbitol and arginine contribute to the overall fitness of the strain TMW 2.2256. Interestingly, although both strains have two non-identical copies of the tagatose-6P pathway and the Leloir pathway increased under the same conditions, TMW 2.2256 prefers the degradation via the tagatose-6P pathway while TMW 2.2254 does not. Furthermore, TMW 2.2256 shows an increase in pathways required for balancing out the intracellular NADH/NADH+ ratios. CONCLUSIONS Our study reveals for the first time, that both versions of tagatose-6P pathways encoded in both strains are simultaneously active together with the Leloir pathway and contribute to the degradation of galactose. These findings will help to understand the strain dependent features that might be required for a starter strain in lupine moromi.

Abstract
Human gastrointestinal helminthic infections have a direct and/or indirect effect on the composition of the host gut microbial flora. Here, we investigated the effect of infection with a soil-transmitted intestinal nematode, Strongyloides stercoralis, on the gut microbiota of the human host. We also investigated whether composition of the microbiota in infected persons might vary across endemic regions. Fecal samples were obtained from volunteers from two areas endemic for strongyloidiasis, Khon Kaen Province in northeastern Thailand and Nakhon Si Thammarat Province in southern Thailand. Samples from Khon Kaen were from infected (SsNE) and uninfected (NegNE) individuals. Similarly, samples from the latter province were from infected (SsST) and uninfected (NegST) individuals. DNA sequences of the V3-V4 regions of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene were obtained from the fecal samples. No statistical difference in alpha diversity between groups in terms of richness or diversity were found. Statistical difference in beta diversity was observed only between NegNE and NegST. Some significant differences in species abundance were noted between geographical isolates. The SsNE group had a higher abundance of Tetragenococcus holophilus than did the SsST group, whereas Bradyrhizobium sp. was less abundant in the SsNE than the SsST group. For the uninfected groups, the NegNE had a higher abundance of T. holophilus than the NegST group. Our data showed that S. stercoralis infection leads to only minor alterations in the relative abundance of individual bacterial species in the human gut: no detectable effect was observed on community structure and diversity.

Abstract
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has several health-promoting qualities, leading to a growing demand for natural GABA production via microbial fermentation. The GABA-producing abilities of the new Tetragenococcus halophilus (THSK) isolated from a commercial soy sauce moromi were proven in this investigation. Under aerobic conditions, the isolate produced 293.43 mg/L of GABA after 5 days of cultivation, compared to 217.13 mg/L under anaerobic conditions. Critical parameters such as pH, monosodium glutamate (MSG), and sodium chloride (NaCl) concentrations were examined to improve GABA yield. MSG had the most significant impact on GABA and GABA synthesis was not suppressed even at high NaCl concentrations. Data showed that a pH of 8, MSG content of 5 g/L, and 20% NaCl were the best culture conditions. The ultimate yield was improved to 653.101 mg/L, a 2.22-fold increase (293.43 mg/L). This design shows that the bacteria THSK has industrial GABA production capability and can be incorporated into functional food.

Abstract
The identification and validation of biomarkers of food intake (BFIs) is a promising approach to develop more objective and complementary tools to the traditional dietary assessment methods. Concerning dairy, their evaluation in terms of intake is not simple, given the variety of existing foods, making it difficult to establish the association between specific dairy products consumption and the effects on human health, which is also dependent on the study population. Here, we aimed at identifying BFI of both milk (M) and yogurt (Y) in 14 healthy young (20–35 years) and 14 older (65–80 years). After a 3-week run-in period of dairy exclusion from the diet, the subjects acutely consumed 600 ml of M or Y. Metabolomics analyses were conducted on serum samples during the following 6 h (LC-MS and GC-MS). Several metabolites showing increased iAUC after milk or yogurt intake were considered as potential BFI, including lactose (M > Y, 2-fold), galactitol (M > Y, 1.5-fold), galactonate (M > Y, 1.2-fold), sphingosine-1-phosphate (M > Y from 2.1-fold), as well as an annotated disaccharide (Y > M, 3.6-fold). Delayed serum kinetics were also observed after Y compared to M intake lysine (+22 min), phenylalanine (+45 min), tyrosine (+30min), threonine (+38 min) 3-phenyllactic acid (+30 min), lactose (+30 min), galactitol (+45min) and galactonate (+30 min). The statistical significance of certain discriminant metabolites, such as sphingosine-1-phosphate and several free fatty acids, was not maintained in the older group. This could be related to the physiological modifications induced by aging, like dysregulated lipid metabolism, including delayed appearance of dodecanoic acid (+60 min) or altered postprandial appearance of myristic acid (+70% Cmax), 3-dehydroxycarnitine (−26% Cmin), decanoylcarnitine (−51% Cmin) and dodecanoylcarnitine (−40% Cmin). In conclusion, candidate BFI of milk or yogurt could be identified based on the modified postprandial response resulting from the fermentation of milk to yogurt. Moreover, population specificities (e.g., aging) should also be considered in future studies to obtain more accurate and specific BFI.
