Abstract
Consumers worldwide are increasingly demanding food with fewer ingredients, preferably without chemical additives. The trend called "Clean Label" has stimulated the development and commercialization of new types of bioprotective bacterial cultures. These bacteria are not considered new, and several cultures have been available on the market. Additionally, new bioprotective bacteria are being identified to service the clean label trend, extend the shelf life, and, mainly, improve the food safety of food. In this context, the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been extensively prospected as a bioprotective culture, as they have a long history in food production and their antimicrobial activity against spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms is well established. However, to make LAB cultures available in the market is not that easy, the strains should be characterized phenotypically and genotypically, and studies of safety and technological application are necessary to validate their bioprotection performance. Thus, this review presents information on the bioprotection mechanisms developed by LAB in foods and describes the main strategies used to identify and characterize bioprotective LAB with potential application in the food industry.

Abstract
Large screens of bacterial strain collections to identify potential biocontrol agents often are time-consuming and costly and fail to provide quantitative results. In this study, we present two quantitative and high-throughput methods to assess the inhibitory capacity of bacterial biocontrol candidates against fungal phytopathogens. One method measures the inhibitory effect of bacterial culture supernatant components on the fungal growth, while the other accounts for direct interaction between growing bacteria and the fungus by cocultivating the two organisms. The antagonistic supernatant method quantifies the culture components' antifungal activity by calculating the cumulative impact of supernatant addition relative to the growth of a nontreated fungal control, while the antagonistic cocultivation method identifies the minimal bacterial cell concentration required to inhibit fungal growth by coinoculating fungal spores with bacterial culture dilution series. Thereby, both methods provide quantitative measures of biocontrol efficiency and allow prominent fungal inhibitors to be distinguished from less effective strains. The combination of the two methods sheds light on the types of inhibition mechanisms and provides the basis for further mode-of-action studies. We demonstrate the efficacy of the methods using Bacillus spp. with different levels of antifungal activities as model antagonists and quantify their inhibitory potencies against classic plant pathogens. IMPORTANCE Fungal phytopathogens are responsible for tremendous agricultural losses on an annual basis. While microbial biocontrol agents represent a promising solution to the problem, there is a growing need for high-throughput methods to evaluate and quantify inhibitory properties of new potential biocontrol agents for agricultural application. In this study, we present two high-throughput and quantitative fungal inhibition methods that are suitable for commercial biocontrol screening.

Abstract
Yeast diversity in the cheese manufacturing process and in the cheeses themselves includes indispensable species for the production of specific cheeses and undesired species that cause cheese defects and spoilage. The control of yeast contaminants is problematic due to limitations in sanitation methods and chemicals used in the food industry. The utilisation of lactic acid bacteria and their antifungal products is intensively studied. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is one of the most frequently studied species producing a wide spectrum of bioactive by-products. In the present study, twenty strains of L. plantarum from four sources were tested against 25 species of yeast isolated from cheeses, brines, and dairy environments. The functional traits of L. plantarum strains, such as the presence of class 2a bacteriocin and chitinase genes and in vitro production of organic acids, were evaluated. The extracellular production of bioactive peptides and proteins was tested using proteomic methods. Antifungal activity against yeast was screened using in vitro tests. Testing of antifungal activity on artificial media and reconstituted milk showed significant variability within the strains of L. plantarum and its group of origin. Strains from sourdoughs (CCDM 3018, K19-3) and raw cheese (L12, L24, L32) strongly inhibited the highest number of yeast strains on medium with reconstituted milk. These strains showed a consistent spectrum of genes belonging to class 2a bacteriocins, the gene of chitinase and its extracellular product 9 LACO Chitin-binding protein. Strain CCDM 3018 with the spectrum of class 2a bacteriocin gene, chitinase and significant production of lactic acid in all media performed significant antifungal effects in artificial and reconstituted milk-based media.

Abstract
Fungal contamination of food, which causes large economic losses and public health problems, is a global concern. Chemical methods are typically used in the food industry to inhibit the growth of spoilage fungus, but there are several drawbacks of chemical methods. Thus, the development of consumer-friendly and ecologically sustainable biological preservation technology has become a hot spot in food research. As a natural biological control agent, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is a good choice in food preservation due to its antifungal properties. In order to screen and identify new antifungal LAB and antifungal compounds, this review compares three screening methods (overlay method, agar diffusion method, and microplate inhibition method) of antifungal LAB and summarizes the separation and purification techniques of antifungal compounds. A discussion of the effects of LAB, media, temperature, pH, and incubation period on the antifungal activity of LAB to highlight the antifungal properties of LAB for future studies then follows. Additionally, the antifungal mechanism of LAB is elucidated from three aspects: 1) LAB cells, 2) antifungal compounds, and 3) co-cultivation. Finally, research regarding antifungal LAB in food preservation (fruits, vegetables, grain cereals, bakery products, and dairy products) is summarized, which demonstrates the potential application value of LAB in food.

Antifungal Efficacy of Redox-Active Natamycin against Some Foodborne Fungi-Comparison with Aspergillus fumigatus. Foods 2021; 10:foods10092073.

Abstract
The fungal antioxidant system is one of the targets of the redox-active polyene antifungal drugs, including amphotericin B (AMB), nystatin (NYS), and natamycin (NAT). Besides medical applications, NAT has been used in industry for preserving foods and crops. In this study, we investigated two parameters (pH and food ingredients) affecting NAT efficacy. In the human pathogen, Aspergillus fumigatus, NAT (2 to 16 μg mL−1) exerted higher activity at pH 5.6 than at pH 3.5 on a defined medium. In contrast, NAT exhibited higher activity at pH 3.5 than at pH 5.6 against foodborne fungal contaminants, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus parasiticus, and Penicillium expansum, with P. expansum being the most sensitive. In commercial food matrices (10 organic fruit juices), food ingredients differentially affected NAT antifungal efficacy. Noteworthily, NAT overcame tolerance of the A. fumigatus signaling mutants to the fungicide fludioxonil and exerted antifungal synergism with the secondary metabolite, kojic acid (KA). Altogether, NAT exhibited better antifungal activity at acidic pH against foodborne fungi; however, the ingredients from commercial food matrices presented greater impact on NAT efficacy compared to pH values. Comprehensive determination of parameters affecting NAT efficacy and improved food formulation will promote sustainable food/crop production, food safety, and public health.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The demand for preservative-free food products is rising, and biopreservation is a potential alternative to replace or reduce the use of chemical preservatives. The objectives of this study were to assess the antifungal activity of lactic acid bacteria (LAB; n = 98) and the efficacy and applicability of the chosen bioprotective cultures against fungal spoilers in dairy products. First, 14 antifungal strains were preliminarily screened by in vitro tests against Pichia pastoris D3, Aspergillus niger D1, Geotrichum candidum N1, Kluyveromyces marxianus W1, and Penicillium chrysogenum B1 and validated by challenge tests in yogurt, indicating that the fungal-inhibiting activity of LAB was species specific and yogurt fermented with antifungal LAB cultures was more effective in extending shelf life. Second, the chosen 14 LAB strains were identified by the 16S rDNA sequence analysis and carbohydrate fermentation test. The results were as follows: nine strains were Lactobacillus plantarum, three were Lactobacillus paracasei, one was Enterococus faecium, and one was Lactobacillus rhamnosus. Among them, active L. plantarum N7 was the chosen and studied factor affecting antifungal activity by using the response surface methodology. Finally, in situ tests were conducted to validate the activity of L. plantarum N7 in actual dairy products (whey beverages). Physicochemical and microbial indices of whey beverages during storage indicated that antifungal L. plantarum N7 could slow yeast growth and be candidates of interest for industrial applications.

Shi C, Knøchel S. Sensitivity of Molds From Spoiled Dairy Products Towards Bioprotective Lactic Acid Bacteria Cultures. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:631730. [PMID: 33643260 PMCID: PMC7902714 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.631730] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2020] [Accepted: 01/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Fungal spoilage of dairy products is a major concern due to food waste and economical losses, some fungal metabolites may furthermore have adverse effects on human health. The use of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is emerging as a potential clean label alternative to chemical preservatives. Here, our aim was to characterize the growth potential at three storage temperatures (5, 16, and 25°C) of a panel of molds (four Mucor and nine Penicillium strains) isolated from dairy products, then investigate the susceptibility of the molds toward 12 LAB cultures. Fungal cell growth and morphology in malt extract broth was monitored using oCelloScope at 25°C for 24 h. Mucor plumbeus 01180036 was the fastest growing and Penicillium roqueforti ISI4 (P. roqueforti ISI4) the slowest of the tested molds. On yogurt-agar plates, all molds grew at 5, 16, and 25°C in a temperature-dependent manner with Mucor strains growing faster than Penicillium strains regardless of temperature. The sensitivity toward 12 LAB cultures was tested using high-throughput overlay method and here all the molds except P. roqueforti ISI4 were strongly inhibited. The antifungal action of these LAB was confirmed when spotting mold spores on agar plates containing live cells of the LAB strains. However, if cells were removed from the fermentates, the inhibitory effects decreased markedly. The antifungal effects of volatiles tested in a plate-on-plate system without direct contact between mold and LAB culture media were modest. Some LAB binary combinations improved the antifungal activity against the growth of several molds beyond that of single cultures in yogurt serum. The role of competitive exclusion due to manganese depletion was examined as a possible antifungal mechanism for six Penicillium and two Mucor strains. It was shown that this mechanism was a major inhibition factor for the molds tested apart from the non-inhibited P. roqueforti ISI4 since addition of manganese with increasing concentrations of up to 0.1 mM resulted in partly or fully restored mold growth in yogurt. These findings help to understand the parameters influencing the mold spoilage of dairy products and the interactions between the contaminating strains, substrate, and bioprotective LAB cultures.

Abstract
Consumer's demand for naturally preserved food products is growing and the use of bioprotective cultures is an alternative to chemical preservatives or a complementary tool to hurdle technologies to avoid or delay fungal spoilage of dairy products. To develop antifungal cultures for the dairy product biopreservation, experiments were conducted both in vitro and in situ. Firstly, the antifungal activity of 32 strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and propionibacteria was screened alone, and then on combinations based on 5 selected lactobacilli strains. This screening was performed in yogurt and cheese models against four major spoilage fungi previously isolated from contaminated dairy products (Penicillium commune, Mucor racemosus, Galactomyces geotrichum, and Yarrowia lipolytica). Selected combinations were then tested as adjunct cultures in sour cream and semi-hard cheeses produced at a pilot scale to evaluate their antifungal activity during challenge tests against selected fungal targets (P. commune, M. racemosus, and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa) and shelf life tests; and their impact on product organoleptic properties. The screening step allowed selecting two binary combinations, A1 and A3 composed of Lactobacillus plantarum L244 and either Lactobacillus harbinensis L172 or Lactobacillus rhamnosus CIRM-BIA1113, respectively. In situ assays showed that the A1 combination delayed the growth of P. commune, M. racemosus and R. mucilaginosa for 2–24 days on sour cream depending of the antifungal culture inoculum, without effect on organoleptic properties at low inoculum (106 colony-forming units (CFU)/mL). Moreover, the A1 and A3 combinations also delayed the growth of P. commune in semi-hard cheese for 1–6 days and 1 day, respectively. Antifungal cultures neither impacted the growth of starter cultures in both sour cream and cheese nor the products' pH, although post acidification was observed in sour cream supplemented with these combinations at the highest concentrations (2.107 CFU/mL). The combination of both in vitro and in situ screening assays allowed developing 2 antifungal combinations exhibiting significant antifungal activity and providing future prospects for use as bioprotective cultures in dairy products.

Abstract
Food spoilage is a major issue for the food industry, leading to food waste, substantial economic losses for manufacturers and consumers, and a negative impact on brand names. Among causes, fungal contamination can be encountered at various stages of the food chain (e.g., post-harvest, during processing or storage). Fungal development leads to food sensory defects varying from visual deterioration to noticeable odor, flavor, or texture changes but can also have negative health impacts via mycotoxin production by some molds. In order to avoid microbial spoilage and thus extend product shelf life, different treatments—including fungicides and chemical preservatives—are used. In parallel, public authorities encourage the food industry to limit the use of these chemical compounds and develop natural methods for food preservation. This is accompanied by a strong societal demand for ‘clean label’ food products, as consumers are looking for more natural, less severely processed and safer products. In this context, microbial agents corresponding to bioprotective cultures, fermentates, culture-free supernatant or purified molecules, exhibiting antifungal activities represent a growing interest as an alternative to chemical preservation. This review presents the main fungal spoilers encountered in food products, the antifungal microorganisms tested for food bioprotection, and their mechanisms of action. A focus is made in particular on the recent in situ studies and the constraints associated with the use of antifungal microbial agents for food biopreservation.
