Companilactobacillus alimentarius: An extensive characterization of strains isolated from spontaneous fermented sausages. Int J Food Microbiol 2024; 410:110489. [PMID: 38039926 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2023.110489] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023]
Abstract
Companilactobacillus alimentarius is a facultatively heterofermentative lactic acid bacterium (LAB) that is a significant constituent within the microbiota of various traditional fermented foods exerting several functions in fermentative or ripening processes. This species has been isolated from Spanish fermented sausages, where its frequency of isolation was comparable to those of Latilactobacillus sakei and Latilactobacillus curvatus. Despite to its presence in several niches, ecological information on this species is still scarce and only few publications report information about its safety features (i.e. antibiotic resistance). Since studies on C. alimentarius concern the analysis of a few individual traits regarding this species, a more extensive work on a larger number of isolates from the same matrix have been performed to allow a clearer interpretation of their phenotypic and technological characteristics. Specifically, 14 strains of C. alimentarius isolated from Mediterranean spontaneously fermented sausages, have been screened for their safety and technological characteristics (such as antibiotic resistance, biogenic amine production, inhibiting potential, growth at different temperatures and NaCl concentrations) and with phenotype microarrays with the aim to elucidate their potential role and contribution to sausage fermentation and ripening. In general, a wide variability was observed in relation to the parameters considered. Several of the tested strains were able to produce histamine, tyramine and putrescine while the antibiotic resistance greatly varied according to the strains, with the exception of vancomycin. In addition, C. alimentarius strains showed a relevant potential to grow in conditions of salt and temperature mimicking those found in fermented foods. In particular, the growth at 10 °C and in the presence of salt can explain the presence of C. alimentarius in sausages and its adaptation to fermented meat environment in which low temperature can be applied during ripening. The differentiation of the phenotypic profile reflected the environmental conditions that influenced the isolation source, including those derived by the raw materials. Given the species frequent association with spontaneous fermentations or the ripening microbiota of various products, despite not being intentionally used as starter cultures, the data presented in this study contribute to a deeper comprehension of their role, both advantageous and detrimental, in numerous significant fermented foods.

Abstract
Metabolites produced by the intestinal microbiome modulate mucosal immune defenses and optimize epithelial barrier function. Intestinal dysbiosis, including loss of intestinal microbiome diversity and expansion of antibiotic-resistant pathobionts, is accompanied by changes in fecal metabolite concentrations and increased incidence of systemic infection. Laboratory tests that quantify intestinal dysbiosis, however, have yet to be incorporated into clinical practice. We quantified fecal metabolites in 107 patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) and correlated these with fecal microbiome compositions, pathobiont expansion, and postoperative infections. Consistent with experimental studies implicating microbiome-derived metabolites with host-mediated antimicrobial defenses, reduced fecal concentrations of short- and branched-chain fatty acids, secondary bile acids, and tryptophan metabolites correlate with compositional microbiome dysbiosis in LT patients and the relative risk of postoperative infection. Our findings demonstrate that fecal metabolite profiling can identify LT patients at increased risk of postoperative infection and may provide guideposts for microbiome-targeted therapies.

Multi-omics analysis of hospital-acquired diarrhoeal patients reveals biomarkers of enterococcal proliferation and Clostridioides difficile infection. Nat Commun 2023; 14:7737.

Abstract
Hospital-acquired diarrhoea (HAD) is common, and often associated with gut microbiota and metabolome dysbiosis following antibiotic administration. Clostridioides difficile is the most significant antibiotic-associated diarrhoeal (AAD) pathogen, but less is known about the microbiota and metabolome associated with AAD and C. difficile infection (CDI) with contrasting antibiotic treatment. We characterised faecal microbiota and metabolome for 169 HAD patients (33 with CDI and 133 non-CDI) to determine dysbiosis biomarkers and gain insights into metabolic strategies C. difficile might use for gut colonisation. The specimen microbial community was analysed using 16 S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, coupled with untargeted metabolite profiling using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) profiling using GC-MS. AAD and CDI patients were associated with a spectrum of dysbiosis reflecting non-antibiotic, short-term, and extended-antibiotic treatment. Notably, extended antibiotic treatment was associated with enterococcal proliferation (mostly vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium) coupled with putative biomarkers of enterococcal tyrosine decarboxylation. We also uncovered unrecognised metabolome dynamics associated with concomitant enterococcal proliferation and CDI, including biomarkers of Stickland fermentation and amino acid competition that could distinguish CDI from non-CDI patients. Here we show, candidate metabolic biomarkers for diagnostic development with possible implications for CDI and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) treatment.

Abstract
Spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) is a leading cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality, yet its prevention and early risk stratification are limited. Previous investigations have suggested that vaginal microbes and metabolites may be implicated in sPTB. Here we performed untargeted metabolomics on 232 second-trimester vaginal samples, 80 from pregnancies ending preterm. We find multiple associations between vaginal metabolites and subsequent preterm birth, and propose that several of these metabolites, including diethanolamine and ethyl glucoside, are exogenous. We observe associations between the metabolome and microbiome profiles previously obtained using 16S ribosomal RNA amplicon sequencing, including correlations between bacteria considered suboptimal, such as Gardnerella vaginalis, and metabolites enriched in term pregnancies, such as tyramine. We investigate these associations using metabolic models. We use machine learning models to predict sPTB risk from metabolite levels, weeks to months before birth, with good accuracy (area under receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.78). These models, which we validate using two external cohorts, are more accurate than microbiome-based and maternal covariates-based models (area under receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.55-0.59). Our results demonstrate the potential of vaginal metabolites as early biomarkers of sPTB and highlight exogenous exposures as potential risk factors for prematurity.

Survival, growth, and biogenic amine production of Enterococcus faecium FC12 in response to extracts and essential oils of Rubus fruticosus and Juniperus oxycedrus. Front Nutr 2023; 9:1092172. [PMID: 36712524 PMCID: PMC9880475 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.1092172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Enterococci are lactic acid bacteria (LAB) usually found as food contaminants in fermented products such as cheeses and fermented sausages. Due to their antibiotic resistance, the presence of virulence factors, and the ability to produce biogenic amines (BAs), the determination of these bacteria is crucial to assure food quality and safety. BAs production and consequent accumulation in foods can cause toxicological effects on human health. Plant phenolic compounds are promising alternatives to chemical preservatives and reflect consumers' demand for "green" solutions. In this study, the antimicrobial effect of blackberry (Rubus fruticosus) leaves and prickly juniper (Juniperus oxycedrus) needles, both as phenolic extracts (PE) and essential oils (EO), were evaluated against Enterococcus faecium FC12, a known tyramine-producing strain. Methods The growth kinetics in the presence of sub-lethal concentrations of such plant derivatives were modeled (Gompertz equation) and BA production was monitored over time by HPLC. Moreover, flow cytometry (FCM) was used to study the effects of EOs and PEs on cell viability. Results The EOs showed a higher antimicrobial effect (especially R. fruticosus added at 0.75 mg/ml), determining an initial decrease of culturable cells followed by a recovery, even if with lower growth rates and final cell loads. Different rates of BA formation were observed, with tyramine concentrations ranging from 120 to 160 mg/l after 96 h of incubation, and 2-phenylethylamine was produced in lower amounts, usually after reaching the peak of tyramine. FCM confirmed the higher efficacy of R. fruticosus EO that induced cell membrane injury in 93% of the total population. However, complete recovery occurred in the following incubation, demonstrating transient damage. Discussion Although further research is required to better investigate this recovery and to assess the suitability of this approach in a real food system, the present study showed the potential antimicrobial activity of plant derivatives, especially R. fruticosus EO, against the tyramine-producing E. faecium FC12.

Abstract
Scombroid food poisoning (SFP) is a foodborne disease that develops after consumption of fresh fish and, rarely, seafood that has fine organoleptic characteristics but contains a large amount of exogenous histamine. SFP, like other food pseudo-allergic reactions (FPA), is a disorder that is clinically identical to allergic reactions type I, but there are many differences in their pathogenesis. To date, SFP has been widespread throughout the world and is an urgent problem, although exact epidemiological data on incidence varies greatly. The need to distinguish SFP from true IgE-associated allergy to fish and seafood is one of the most difficult examples of the differential diagnosis of allergic conditions. The most important difference is the absence of an IgE response in SFP. The pathogenesis of SFP includes a complex system of interactions between the body and chemical triggers such as exogenous histamine, other biogenic amines, cis-urocanic acid, salicylates, and other histamine liberators. Because of the wide range of molecular pathways involved in this process, it is critical to understand their differences. This may help predict and prevent poor outcomes in patients and contribute to the development of adequate hygienic rules and regulations for seafood product safety. Despite the vast and lengthy history of research on SFP mechanisms, there are still many blank spots in our understanding of this condition. The goals of this review are to differentiate various molecular mechanisms of SFP and describe methods of hygienic regulation of some biogenic amines that influence the concentration of histamine in the human body and play an important role in the mechanism of SFP.

In recent years, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common liver disease in the world. As an important model animal, the characteristics of gut microbiota alteration in mice with NAFLD have been studied but the changes in metabolite abundance in NAFLD mice and how the gut microbiota affects these intestinal metabolites remain unclear. In this experiment, a mouse model for NAFLD was established by a high-fat diet. The use of 16S rDNA technology showed that while there were no significant changes in the alpha diversity in the cecum of NAFLD mice, the beta diversity changed significantly. The abundance of Blautia, Unidentified-Lachnospiraceae, Romboutsia, Faecalibaculum, and Ileibacterium increased significantly in NAFLD mice, while Allobaculum and Enterorhabdus decreased significantly. Amino acids, lipids, bile acids and nucleotide metabolites were among the 167 significantly different metabolites selected. The metabolic pathways of amino acids, SFAs, and bile acids were significantly enhanced, while the metabolic pathways of PUFAs, vitamins, and nucleotides were significantly inhibited. Through correlation and MIMOSA2 analysis, it is suggested that gut microbiota does not affect the changes of lipids and bile acids but can reduce thiamine, pyridoxine, and promote L-phenylalanine and tyramine production. The findings of this study will help us to better understand the relationship between gut microbiota and metabolites in NAFLD.

Probiotic potential and safety assessment of bacteriocinogenic Enterococcus faecium strains with antibacterial activity against Listeria and vancomycin-resistant enterococci. CURRENT RESEARCH IN MICROBIAL SCIENCES 2021; 2:100070. [PMID: 34841360 PMCID: PMC8610289 DOI: 10.1016/j.crmicr.2021.100070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2021] [Revised: 08/17/2021] [Accepted: 08/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Bacteriocinogenic Enterococcus faecium strains were evaluated for their beneficial and safety properties. Safety of the strains were evaluated based on phenotypic and bio-molecular approaches. The beneficial properties of the strains were demonstrated. High survivability under simulated GIT conditions and inhibition of Listeria spp. were demonstrated. The strains were found to carry genes coding for GABA production.
Enterococcus spp., known for their wide ecological distribution, have been associated with various fermented food products of plant and animal origin. The strains used in this study, bacteriocinogenic Enterococcus faecium previously isolated from artisanal soybean paste, have shown strong activity against Listeria spp. and vancomycin-resistant enterococci. Although their antimicrobial activity is considered beneficial, the potential application of enterococci is still under debate due to concerns about their safety for human and other animal consumption. Therefore, this study not only focuses on the screening of potential virulence factors, but also the auxiliary beneficial properties of the strains Ent. faecium ST651ea, ST7119ea, and ST7319ea. Phenotypic screening for gelatinase, hemolysin, and biogenic amine production showed that the strains were all safe. Furthermore, the antibiogram profiling showed that all the strains were susceptible to the panel of antibiotics used in the assessment except for erythromycin. Yet, Ent. faecium ST7319ea was found to carry some of the virulence genes used in the molecular screening for safety including hyl, esp, and IS16. The probiotic potential and other beneficial properties of the strains were also studied, demonstrating high aggregation and co-aggregation levels compared to previously characterized strains, in addition to high survivability under simulated gastrointestinal conditions, and production of numerous desirable enzymes as evaluated by APIZym, indicating diverse possible biotechnological applications of these strains. Additionally, the strains were found to carry genes coding for γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) production, an auxiliary characteristic for their probiotic potential. Although these tests showed relatively favorable characteristics, it should be considered that these assays were carried out in vitro and should therefore also be assessed under in vivo conditions.

Abstract
Enterococcus faecium ST20Kc and ST41Kc were isolated from kimchi, a traditional Korean fermented cabbage. Bacteriocins produced by both strains exhibited strong activity against Listeria monocytogenes and various Enterococcus spp., including 30 vancomycin-resistant enterococcal strains, but not against other lactic acid bacteria (LAB) on the evaluated test panel. The antimicrobials produced by the strains were found to be proteinaceous and stable even after exposure to varying pH, temperature, and chemicals used in the industry and laboratory processes. Antimicrobial activity of both strains was evaluated as bactericidal against exponentially growing cultures of L. monocytogenes ATCC® 15313™ and Enterococcus faecalis 200A. Based on tricine-SDS-PAGE, the molecular weights of the bacteriocins produced by the strains were between 4 and 6 kDa. Additionally, both strains were susceptible to antibiotics, including vancomycin, kanamycin, gentamycin, ampicillin, streptomycin, tylosin, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, and tetracycline. Adhesion genes, map, mub, and EF-Tu, were also detected in the genomes of both strains. With gastrointestinal stress induction, both strains showed high individual survival rates, and capability to reduce viable counts of L. monocytogenes ATCC® 15313™ and Enterococcus faecalis 200A in mixed cultures. Based on the metabolomics analysis, both strains were found to produce additional antimicrobial compounds, particularly, lactic acid, phenyllactic acid, and phenethylamine, which can be potentially involved in the antimicrobial interaction with pathogenic microorganisms.

Abstract
Biogenic amines (BAs) are organic nitrogenous compounds, formed mostly by decarboxylation of corresponding amino acids. BAs are responsible for several biological events. However, if the concentration of BAs reached the threshold level, it causes mild to serious health problems in human. The objective of this manuscript was to summarize the prevalence and prevention of Bas formation, detection methods and factors affecting the BAs formation in fermented fish and meat products. Meat sausages are the fermented meat product that contains high BAs. Fish sauces are reported to have high BAs compared to other fish products. Several chemosensors and chromatography methods are available to screen and detect BAs in foods. The prevention measures are vital to avoid toxic outbreaks. The use of starter culture, application of physical factors, control of environmental factors, and use of polyphenols could prevent or diminish the formation of BAs in fermented foods. The literature survey warrants that the development of potent starter with desirable characters, maintenance of hygienic food production and regular monitoring of commercial products are necessary to ensure the quality and safety of fermented fish and meat product.

Abstract
Non-typhoidal Salmonella ingeniously scavenges energy for growth from tyramine (TYR) and d-glucuronic acid (DGA), both of which occur in the host as the metabolic byproducts of the gut microbial metabolism. A critical first step in energy scavenging from TYR and DGA in Salmonella involves TYR-oxidation via TYR-oxidoreductase and production of free-DGA via β-glucuronidase (GUS)-mediated hydrolysis of d-glucuronides (conjugated form of DGA), respectively. Here, we report that Salmonella utilizes TYR and DGA as sole sources of energy in a serotype-independent manner. Using colorimetric and radiometric approaches, we report that genes SEN2971, SEN3065, and SEN2426 encode TYR-oxidoreductases. Some Salmonella serotypes produce GUS, thus can also scavenge energy from d-glucuronides. We repurposed phenelzine (monoaminoxidase-inhibitor) and amoxapine (GUS-inhibitor) to inhibit the TYR-oxidoreductases and GUS encoded by Salmonella, respectively. We show that phenelzine significantly inhibits the growth of Salmonella by inhibiting TYR-oxidoreductases SEN2971, SEN3065, and SEN2426. Similarly, amoxapine significantly inhibits the growth of Salmonella by inhibiting GUS-mediated hydrolysis of d-glucuronides. Because TYR and DGA serve as potential energy sources for Salmonella growth in vivo, the data and the novel approaches used here provides a better understanding of the role of TYR and DGA in Salmonella pathogenesis and nutritional virulence.

Abstract
White spots are commonly found in bean-based fermented food, which will significantly lower the product quality. This study aimed to analyze the composition of white spots and further reveal the source and influencing factors of white spots in bean-based fermented food using soybean paste as study model. The results showed that white spots were mainly composed of 40.96% free tyrosine and 37.94% tyrosine in combination form. During soybean paste fermentation, tyrosine was found to be produced by the actions of proteolytic enzymes secreted by Aspergillus oryzae 3.042 instead of the microbial metabolism and the excessive accumulation of tyrosine in soybean paste led to the formation of white spots. Among all influencing factors, high temperature treatment favored the formation of white spots. The existence of soy peptone and phenylalanine would postpone the precipitation of tyrosine while promoting the aggregation of the tyrosine precipitation. Field emission scanning electron microscope analysis showed that tyrosine would accumulate around the soybean protein particles and treatment at 120 °C would disrupt the structure of tyrosine-protein complex. Based on the above results, we proposed that treatment of soybean paste at temperature lower than 80 °C was the current practically applicable method to control the formation of white spots in soybean paste. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This study developed a new idea to understand the composition and formation of white spots in soybean paste, which would provide guidance for prevention and control of white spots during the production of soybean paste for manufacturers and researchers.

Abstract
The bacteriocin-producing strain Enterococcus faecium ST10Bz, isolated from boza, a Bulgarian cereal-based beverage, exhibited strong activity against Listeria strains, vancomycin-resistant and other Enterococcus strains, but not against most of the other lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains included in the test panel. Bacteriocin ST10Bz was proven as a stable antimicrobial, even after exposure to various environmental conditions, including varying pH values, temperatures, and commonly used chemicals in industry and laboratory practice. Bacteriocin activity against L. monocytogenes ATCC®15313™ was recorded at 25,600 AU/mL when the producer strain was cultured in MRS broth at 25 °C and 30 °C, and 19,200 AU/mL, when cultured at 37 °C. Additionally, bacteriocin ST10Bz exhibited bactericidal mode of action when added to actively growing cultures of L. monocytogenes ATCC®15313™ and Enterococcus faecalis 200A. E. faecium ST10Bz was susceptible to the antibiotics kanamycin, gentamycin, ampicillin, streptomycin, tylosin, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, tetracycline, and vancomycin; with no evidence for vanA, B, C, D, E, or G genes. PCR analysis of DNA from strain ST10Bz generated positive results for presence of some bacterial adhesion genes, including map, mub and ef-tu, as well as the gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) production-related gene, gad. Under simulated gastrointestinal conditions in single and co-culture with L. monocytogenes ATCC®15313™ and E. faecalis 200A, E. faecium ST10Bz showed a high survival rate and the ability to reduce the viable numbers of the two test strains.

Abstract
A wide range of probiotic products is available on the market and can be easily purchased over the counter and unlike pharmaceutical drugs, their commercial distribution is not strictly regulated. In this study, ten probiotic preparations commercially available for children's consumption in the Republic of the Philippines (PH) and the Republic of Korea (SK) have been investigated. The analyses included determination of viable counts and taxonomic identification of the bacterial species present in each formulation. The status of each product was assessed by comparing the results with information and claims provided on the label. In addition to their molecular identification, safety assessment of the isolated strains was conducted by testing for hemolysis, biogenic amine production and antibiotic resistance. One out of the ten products contained lower viable numbers of recovered microorganisms than claimed on the label. Enterococcus strains, although not mentioned on the label, were isolated from four products. Some of these isolates produced biogenic amines and were resistant to one or several antibiotics. Metagenomic analyses of two products revealed that one product did not contain most of the microorganisms declared in its specification. The study demonstrated that some commercial probiotic products for children did not match their label claims. Infants and young children belong to the most vulnerable members of society, and food supplements including probiotics destined for this consumer group require careful checking and strict regulation before commercial distribution.

Abstract
In addition to pathogenic bacteria and viruses, some bioactive compounds and natural toxins such as biogenic amines (BAs) can be responsible for food poisoning. These compounds, produced mainly by bacteria through the action of decarboxylases, represent a risk for consumers' health and are involved in several pathogenic syndromes, with histamine and tyramine being the most dangerous ones. Since the presence of dangerous amounts of BAs is associated with the relevant growth of spoiling decarboxylating microorganisms, BA content has been proposed as a food quality index in fresh products. Several factors, both intrinsic and technological, can regulate BA accumulation in foods influencing the decarboxylase-positive bacteria population and proteolysis phenomena, especially in fermented products where strains belonging to different species and genera, commonly found in these foods, have been characterized for their decarboxylase activities and have been associated with high levels of BAs. Due to their impact on human health and food quality, both the development of simple and rapid methods for BA detection and the increase of knowledge of factors involved in BA accumulation are needed to face new challenges in food chains and to reduce health concerns regarding food poisoning.

Characterization of lactic acid bacteria isolated from a traditional Ivoirian beer process to develop starter cultures for safe sorghum-based beverages. Int J Food Microbiol 2020; 322:108547. [PMID: 32097827 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2020.108547] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2019] [Revised: 12/13/2019] [Accepted: 01/31/2020] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
The present study aimed to characterize lactic acid bacteria involved in the different processing steps of tchapalo, a traditional Ivoirian beverage, for their potential application as starter cultures in food and beverages. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were therefore isolated and enumerated at different steps of the process on MRS and BEA agars. Of the 465 isolates, 27 produced bacteriocins that inhibit Lactobacillus delbrueckii F/31 strain. Of those, two also inhibited Listeria innocua ATCC 33090, while two others displayed inhibitory activity against L.innocua ATCC 33090, E. faecalis CIP 105042, E. faecalis ATCC 29212, Streptococcus sp. clinical LNSP, E. faecalis CIP 105042 and E. faecium ATCC 51558. The dominant species involved in tchapalo LAB fermentation, as determined by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, were Lactobacillus fermentum (64%), followed by Pediococcus acidilactici (14%). Two strains representing the two dominant species, L. fermentum S6 and P. acidilactici S7, and two potential bacteriocin producers, Weissella confusa AB3E41 and Enterococcus faecium AT1E22, were selected for further characterization. First, genome analysis showed that these strains do not display potential harmful genes such as pathogenic factors or transmissible antibiotic resistance genes. Furthermore, phylogenetic analyses were performed to assess evidence of eventual links to groups of strains with particular properties. They revealed that (i) L. fermentum S6 and P. acidilactici S7 are closely related to strains that ferment plants, (ii) E. faecium AT1E22 belongs to the environmental clade B of E. faecium, while W. confusa is quite similar to other strains also isolated from plant fermentations. Further genome analysis showed that E. faecium AT1E22 contains the Enterocin P gene probably carried by a megaplasmid, whereas no evidence of a bacteriocin gene was found in W. confusa AB3E41. The metabolic and the first step of the probiotic potentials of the different strains were analyzed. Lactobacillus fermentum S6 and P. acidilactici S7 are good candidates to develop starter cultures, and E. faecium AT1E22 should be further tested to confirm its potential as a probiotic strain in the production of sorghum wort.

Abstract
Biogenic amines (BAs) are low molecular weight organic bases. BAs occurring naturally in living organisms are responsible for a number of vital functions, including (in humans) secretion of gastric acids, controlling body temperature, differentiation and growth of cells, immune reactions, and brain activity. However, if oversupplied with food, BAs may cause food poisoning and produce undesirable effects. Nine BAs and eight free amino acids (FAAs) were determined in 85 samples of 19 different varieties of fermented vegetables available on the Polish retail market. Both BA and FAA levels differed significantly among various varieties of the studied fermented vegetables. Averages for the sum of all tested BAs ranged from 30.29 ± 16.43 mg·kg-1 in fermented olives to 612.1 ± 359.33 mg·kg-1 in fermented Brussels sprout. BA profiles were dominated by putrescine (42%), tyramine (20%), cadaverine (18%), and histamine (8%); jointly, the four amines amounted to 88% of all nine studied BAs. The combined level of the latter four BAs was calculated for each vegetable variety as the so-called BA index (BAI). On that basis, the risk of BA-related adverse health effects has been assessed as high/medium/low in 6/3/10 of all 19 studied varieties of fermented vegetables. Brussels sprout and broccoli turned out to be the most risky vegetables from that point of view (BAI above 400 mg·kg-1). FAA levels ranged from 54.8 ± 12.76 (fermented olives) to 3917.42 ± 1528.73 mg·kg-1 (fermented garlic). The high content of FAAs may increase the risk of forming toxic amounts of BAs, depending on characteristics of the current and added microflora as well as on environmental and technological conditions the product is subjected to.

Abstract
Microbial endocrinology represents the union of microbiology and neurobiology and is concerned with the ability of neurochemicals to serve as an evolutionary-based language between host and microbiota in health and disease. The recognition that microorganisms produce, modify and respond to the same neurochemicals utilized in the various signaling pathways of their mammalian hosts is increasingly being recognized as a mechanism by which the host and microbiota may interact to influence the progression of infectious disease as well as influence behavior through the microbiota-gut-brain axis. While the capacity for bacteria to produce neurochemicals has been recognized for decades, the degree to which this occurs in the environment of the gastrointestinal tract is still poorly understood. By combining techniques used in analytic chemistry, food science and environmental microbiology, a novel culture-based method was developed which generates a medium utilizing animal feed which resembles the contents of the small intestine. The usage of this medium allows for the in vitro growth of bacteria native to the gastrointestinal tract in an environment that is reflective of the small-intestinal host-based milieu. We describe a detailed protocol for the preparation of this medium and the quantification of neurochemicals by microorganisms grown therein. Catecholamines including dopamine and its precursor L-3,4-dihydroxyphenalanine (L-DOPA) as well as biogenic amines including tyramine and its precursor tyrosine, serve as prototypical examples of neurochemicals that are quantifiable with the methods described herein.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are considered as the main biogenic amine (BA) producers in fermented foods. These compounds derive from amino acid decarboxylation through microbial activities and can cause toxic effects on humans, with symptoms (headache, heart palpitations, vomiting, diarrhea) depending also on individual sensitivity. Many studies have focused on the aminobiogenic potential of LAB associated with fermented foods, taking into consideration the conditions affecting BA accumulation and enzymes/genes involved in the biosynthetic mechanisms. This review describes in detail the different LAB (used as starter cultures to improve technological and sensorial properties, as well as those naturally occurring during ripening or in spontaneous fermentations) able to produce BAs in model or in real systems. The groups considered were enterococci, lactobacilli, streptococci, lactococci, pediococci, oenococci and, as minor producers, LAB belonging to Leuconostoc and Weissella genus. A deeper knowledge of this issue is important because decarboxylase activities are often related to strains rather than to species or genera. Moreover, this information can help to improve the selection of strains for further applications as starter or bioprotective cultures, in order to obtain high quality foods with reduced BA content.

Abstract
Biogenic amines have been widely studied because of their potential toxicity in fermented foods. Several lactic acid bacteria have the potential to decarboxylate the amino acid tyrosine to tyramine. In this work, we identified two strains of Lactobacillus curvatus, Lbc1 and Lbc2, endowed with the ability to produce tyramine, a metabolic feature that limits their application in starter cultures for fermented meat. To overcome this limitation, we set out to eliminate tyramine production from L. curvatus strains by using classical strain improvement. About 4,000 mutant isolates of both strains were screened using a colorimetric method, and then potential tyrosine decarboxylase-negative mutants were selected. Firm identification of loss-of-function mutants was performed by analytical determination of tyrosine and tyramine in cultivation medium. Of the 8,000 mutants screened, only one mutant of Lbc1 and two mutants of Lbc2 had completely lost the potential to produce tyramine. Subsequently, one tyrosine decarboxylase-negative mutant of both Lbc1 and Lbc2 was characterized in more detail. DNA sequencing of the Lbc1 mutant tdcA gene disclosed two missense mutations in the promoter distal part of the coding sequence. These two mutations result in two amino acid changes in the encoded tyrosine decarboxylase, Pro87Thr and Ser130Leu, presumably inactivating the enzyme activity. The DNA sequence of the other characterized mutant, derived from strain Lbc2, showed that insertion of a 6-bp fragment at nucleotide position 1348 in the tdc gene is presumably the factor leading to loss of activity. With the successful elimination of the undesirable tyramine-producing phenotype without the use of recombinant DNA technology, these developed L. curvatus mutant strains can be safely used in the dairy industry or in the manufacture of various food products.

Abstract
AIMS The tyraminogenic potential of the strains Enterococcus faecalis EF37 and ATCC 29212 was investigated in a synthetic medium containing defined amounts of tyrosine and phenylalanine at different temperatures. METHODS AND RESULTS Enterococci growth and the production of biogenic amines (BA) were evaluated in relation to their pre-growth in medium containing tyrosine. Significant differences between the two strains were evidenced at metabolic level. Both the pre-adapted strains grew faster in all the tested conditions, independently of the presence of the precursor. Temperatures of 30 and 40°C positively affected the growth parameters. The tyrosine decarboxylase (tyrDC) activity of the strain EF37 was positively affected by pre-adaptation, while ATCC 29212 showed a faster and higher tyramine accumulation with not-adapted cells. The expression analysis of the gene tyrDC confirmed the influence of the growth conditions on gene transcription. CONCLUSIONS The small differences found between the two strains in the maximum transcript level reached rapidly after the inoculum and the different behaviour in the tyramine accumulation suggested the possible involvement of complex regulation mechanisms on the tyrDC or on the membrane transport systems, which could affect the different BA accumulation trend. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This study gives deeper insight into the metabolic regulation of tyrDC activity of enterococci.

Abstract
Few information is available about the tyraminogenic potential of the species Enterococcus mundtii. In this study, two plant‐derived strains of E. mundtii were selected and investigated to better understand the phenotypic behaviour and the genetic mechanisms involved in tyramine accumulation. Both the strains accumulated tyramine from the beginning of exponential phase of growth, independently on the addition of tyrosine to the medium. The strains accumulated also 2‐phenylethylamine, although with lower efficiency and in greater extent when tyrosine was not added. Accordingly, the tyrosine decarboxylase (tyrDC) gene expression level increased during the exponential phase with tyrosine added, while it remained constant and high without precursor. The genetic organization as well as sequence identity levels of tyrDC and tyrosine permease (tyrP) genes indicated a correlation with those of phylogenetically closer enterococcal species, such as E. faecium, E. hirae and E. durans; however, the gene Na+/H+ antiporter (nhaC) that usually follow tyrP is missing. In addition, BLAST analysis revealed the presence of additional genes encoding for decarboxylase and permease in the genome of several E. mundtii strains. It is speculated the occurrence of a duplication event and the acquisition of different specificity for these enzymes that deserves further investigations.

Abstract
Biogenic amines (BAs) are molecules, which can be present in foods and, due to their toxicity, can cause adverse effects on the consumers. BAs are generally produced by microbial decarboxylation of amino acids in food products. The most significant BAs occurring in foods are histamine, tyramine, putrescine, cadaverine, tryptamine, 2-phenylethylamine, spermine, spermidine, and agmatine. The importance of preventing the excessive accumulation of BAs in foods is related to their impact on human health and food quality. Quality criteria in connection with the presence of BAs in food and food products are necessary from a toxicological point of view. This is particularly important in fermented foods in which the massive microbial proliferation required for obtaining specific products is often relater with BAs accumulation. In this review, up-to-date information and recent discoveries about technological factors affecting BA content in foods are reviewed. Specifically, BA forming-microorganism and decarboxylation activity, genetic and metabolic organization of decarboxylases, risk associated to BAs (histamine, tyramine toxicity, and other BAs), environmental factors influencing BA formation (temperature, salt concentration, and pH). In addition, the technological factors for controlling BA production (use of starter culture, technological additives, effects of packaging, other non-thermal treatments, metabolizing BA by microorganisms, effects of pressure treatments on BA formation and antimicrobial substances) are addressed.
