Ozonation for Pseudomonas paracarnis control: biofilm removal and preservation of chicken meat during refrigerated storage. Braz J Microbiol 2023; 54:3051-3060. [PMID: 37910305 PMCID: PMC10689663 DOI: 10.1007/s42770-023-01157-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Ozone has been studied to control microorganisms in food, as well as to control biofilm. In this context, the goals of this work were to determine the effect of ozonated water in the removal of Pseudomonas paracarnis biofilm and the effect of ozone gas and ozonated water on inactivating P. paracarnis in deboned chicken breast meat and its effect on product color. AISI 304 coupons were used as a surface for biofilm formation. The coupons were immerged into minimal medium for Pseudomonas inoculated with the P. paracarnis overnight culture (1% w/v) followed by incubation at 25 °C for 7 days. To obtain ozonized water, two different systems were used: system with microbubble generator (MB) and system with porous stone diffuser (PSD). The inlet ozone concentration was 19 mg/L and flow rate of 1 L/min. The coupons were subjected to ozonized water for 10 and 20 min. The chicken breast meat was exposed to gaseous ozone and ozonized water for 40 min. After the ozonation process, chicken meat samples were stored at 8 °C, for 5 days. More expressive removals of biofilm were obtained when using ozonized water obtained in the system with microbubble generator (MB for 20 min-reduction of 2.3 log cycles) and system with porous stone diffuser (PSD for 10 min-reduction of 2.7 log cycles; PSD for 20 min-reduction of 2.6 log cycles). The treatment of chicken meat with ozone gas resulted in lower counting of Pseudomonas, when compared with the control treatments and with ozonized water, both immediately after ozonation (day 1) and after 5 days of storage. The luminosity in the chicken meat samples treated with ozonized water was higher than that verified in the control treatments and with ozone gas, immediately after ozonation (day 1). A similar trend was observed in hue angle and color difference, in which the highest values were obtained for treatment with ozonized water. Based on the results obtained in this study, it was concluded that ozonated water can be used to remove P. paracarnis biofilm from stainless steel under static conditions and gaseous ozone is more efficient in the inactivation of P. paracarnis from chicken breast meat, when compared to ozonated water.

Abstract
Most Pseudomonas spp. are responsible for spoilage in refrigerated foods such as alteration in flavor, texture and appearance. Samples of Minas Frescal cheese with blue discoloration were analysed and contained a high Pseudomonas concentration (7.72 ± 0.36 log CFU/g). Out of the 26 Pseudomonas isolates that were analyzed in our study, 19 demonstrated the capability of producing a diffusible dark pigment. Thus, a pigment-producing isolate (C020) was selected by rep-PCR fingerprinting and subsequently subjected to whole-genome sequencing. The draft genome assembled comprises 42 contigs totaling 6,366,75 bp with an average G + C content of 59.97%, and the species prediction performed by TYGS server, based on the draft genome sequence, identified the C020 as Pseudomonas carnis. In order to investigate the phylogenetic relationships of this isolate with strains already identified of this species, we performed an analysis based on whole-genomic sequences. First, an analysis of all P. carnis genomes deposited in GenBank to date shows that 11% (4/37) are misidentified, and belong to the Pseudomonas paracarnis species. A comparative analysis based on phylogenomic analysis has showed that there is no evolutionary relationship between P. carnis strains carrying second copies of trp genes related to blue discoloration (trpABCDF). This finding reinforces the assertion that these genes are contained in a mobile genetic element. However, it is worth noting that all strains carrying these secondary gene copies have exclusively been isolated from food sources. This observation provides valuable insights into the potential origins and dispersion dynamics of this genetic trait within the species.

Abstract
In order to develop strategies for preventing biofilm formation in the dairy industry, a deeper understanding of the interaction between different species during biofilm formation is necessary. Bacterial strains of the P. fluorescens group are known as the most important biofilm-formers on the surface of dairy processing equipment that may attract and/or shelter other spoilage or pathogenic bacteria. The present study used different strains of the P. fluorescens group as background microbiota of milk, and evaluated their interaction with Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Salmonella Typhimurium during dual-species biofilm formation on stainless steel surfaces. Two separate scenarios for dual-species biofilms were considered: concurrent inoculation of Pseudomonas and pathogen (CI), and delayed inoculation of pathogen to the pre-formed Pseudomonas biofilm (DI). The gram-positive pathogens used in this study did not form dual-species biofilms with P. fluorescens strains unless they were simultaneously inoculated with Pseudomonas strains. E. coli O157:H7 was able to form dual-species biofilms with all seven P. fluorescens group strains, both in concurrent (CI) and delayed (DI) inoculation. However, the percentage of contribution varied depending on the P. fluorescens strains and the inoculation scenario. S. Typhimurium contributed to biofilm formation with all seven P. fluorescens group strains under the CI scenario, with varying degrees of contribution. However, under the DI scenario, S. Typhimurium did not contribute to the biofilm formed by three of the seven P. fluorescens group strains. Overall, these are the first results to illustrate that the strains within the P. fluorescens group have significant differences in the formation of mono-or dual-species biofilms with pathogenic bacteria. Furthermore, the possibility of forming dual-species biofilms with pathogens depends on whether the pathogens form the biofilm simultaneously with the P. fluorescens group strains or whether these strains have already formed a biofilm.

Antibacterial Mechanism of Dellaglioa algida against Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas fragi. FERMENTATION-BASEL 2022.

Abstract
Pseudomonas fluorescens (P. fluorescens) and Pseudomonas fragi (P. fragi), two kinds of psychrotrophic Pseudomonas species with pathogenicity, are likely to contaminate foods and cause diseases even in fairly cold environments, an outcome which should be suppressed. This paper investigates the antibacterial mechanisms of Dellaglioa algida (D. algida), a new type of low-temperature-resistant Lactobacillus, on two such Pseudomonas. By the enzyme treatment approach, the antibacterial substance existing in the cell-free supernatant (CFS) of D. algida is preliminarily determined as organic acid or protein; then, its inhibition effects are assessed under various culture environments, including pH value, salinity, and culture time, where the best antibacterial performance is achieved at pH = 6.00, S = 0%, and culture time = 48 h. A series of experiments on biofilms indicate that D. algida is not only able to inhibit the generation or damage the integrality of the biofilm of the two mentioned Pseudomonas, but also can reduce the motility, including swarming and swimming, of P. fragi and restrain the swarming of P. fluorescens. The aformentioned developed antibacterial mechanisms show the possibility of using D. algida in applications as an inhibitor for psychrotrophic Pseudomonas in the food industry, by virtue of its strong suppression capability, especially in cold environments.

Abstract
New cases of blue cheese discoloration has led to recent research to identify the causal agent and factors that favor blue pigment appearing. Nonetheless, very few reports have described the source of contamination and the measurements to eradicate the microbiological source on cheese farms by determining the relation between blue discoloration on fresh cheese and the Pseudomonas fluorescens group. Thus, 60 samples from a cheese farm (cheese, equipment surfaces, tap water, and raw and pasteurized milk) were analyzed by phenotypical, MALDI-TOF, 16S rRNA sequencing and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis tests to determine the causal agent. The results obtained by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis with restriction enzymes XbaI and SpeI confirmed tap water as the initial contaminated source. The above-mentioned result was essential to avoid Pseudomonas contamination due to the most residual microorganisms being inactivated through a new disinfection program.

Abstract
Yeasts are generally recognized as contaminants in the production of white-brined cheeses, such as Feta and Feta-type cheeses. The most predominant yeasts species are Debaryomyces hansenii, Geotrichum candidum, Kluyveromyces marxianus, Kluyveromyces lactis, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, and Trichosporon spp. Although their spoilage potential varies at both species and strain levels, yeasts will, in case of excessive growth, present a microbiological hazard, effecting cheese quality. To evaluate the hazard and trace routes of contamination, the exact taxonomic classification of yeasts is required. Today, identification of dairy yeasts is mainly based on DNA sequencing, various genotyping techniques, and, to some extent, advanced phenotypic identification technologies. Even though these technologies are state of the art at the scientific level, they are only hardly implemented at the industrial level. Quality defects, caused by yeasts in white-brined cheese, are mainly linked to enzymatic activities and metabolism of fermentable carbohydrates, leading to production of metabolites (CO2, fatty acids, volatile compounds, amino acids, sulfur compounds, etc.) and resulting in off-flavors, texture softening, discoloration, and swelling of cheese packages. The proliferation of spoilage yeast depends on maturation and storage conditions at each specific dairy, product characteristics, nutrients availability, and interactions with the co-existing microorganisms. To prevent and control yeast contamination, different strategies based on the principles of HACCP and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) have been introduced in white-brined cheese production. These strategies include milk pasteurization, refrigeration, hygienic sanitation, air filtration, as well as aseptic and modified atmosphere packaging. Though a lot of research has been dedicated to yeasts in dairy products, the role of yeast contaminants, specifically in white-brined cheeses, is still insufficiently understood. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge on the identification of contaminant yeasts in white-brined cheeses, their occurrence and spoilage potential related to different varieties of white-brined cheeses, their interactions with other microorganisms, as well as guidelines used by dairies to prevent cheese contamination.

Abstract
Worldwide, Shewanella putrefaciens is the predominant seafood spoilage microorganism during cold storage. This bacterium can attach to biotic/abiotic surfaces to form biofilms which contribute to seafood quality degradation and shelf-life reduction. The mechanism of S. putrefaciens biofilm formation is not yet described. Crystal violet staining in combination with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was used to study the sequence of events leading to the establishment of a mature biofilm at 4, 15, and 30°C. In addition, the main chemical constituents of the mature biofilm were determined by Raman spectroscopy (RM), whereas, comparative proteomic analysis was used to quantify changes in metabolic pathways and to find out underlying protein determinants. The physical dimensions of the mature biofilm, i.e., biomass, biovolume, and mean thickness, were higher at 4°C when compared to 15 and 30°C. The variations of proteins measured by RM confirmed the importance of proteins during the formation of a mature biofilm. Comparative proteomic analysis showed that siderophore and iron chelate transport proteins were down-regulated during mature biofilm formation. The down-regulated aforementioned proteins are involved in promoting iron storage in response to a higher demand for metabolic energy, whereas, the upregulated proteins of the sulfur relay system, pyrimidine metabolism, and purine metabolism are related to bacterial adaptability. Synthesis of proteins related to cold stress was increased and proteins involved in aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis were up-regulated, whereas, proteins involved in aminopeptidase activity were down-regulated. Proteolysis to scavenge energy was reduced as proteins involved in pyrophosphatase activity were up-regulated. Also extracellular eDNA was found which may play an important role in maintaining the stability of mature S. putrefaciens biofilm structures under cold stress. This work provides a better understanding of the role of proteins in mature biofilms. In addition, the biofilm formation mechanism of a psychrotrophic spoilage bacterial species at low temperature is explored, which may contribute to generating biofilm controlling strategies during seafood preservation and processing.

Abstract
Surface modification is widely assumed as a mandatory prerequisite for the real applicability of iron oxide nanoparticles. This is aimed to endow prolonged stability, electrolyte and pH tolerance as well as a desired specific surface chemistry for further functionalization to these materials. Nevertheless, coating processes have negative consequences on the sustainability of nanomaterial production contributing to high costs, heavy environmental impact and difficult scalability. In this view, bare iron oxide nanoparticles (BIONs) are arousing an increasing interest and the properties and advantages of pristine surface chemistry of iron oxide are becoming popular among the scientific community. In the authors’ knowledge, rare efforts were dedicated to the use of BIONs in biomedicine, biotechnology, food industry and environmental remediation. Furthermore, literature lacks examples highlighting the potential of BIONs as platforms for the creation of more complex nanostructured architectures, and emerging properties achievable by the direct manipulation of pristine iron oxide surfaces have been little studied. Based on authors’ background on BIONs, the present review is aimed at providing hints on the future expansion of these nanomaterials emphasizing the opportunities achievable by tuning their pristine surfaces.

Abstract
Pseudomonas fluorescens Ps_77 is a blue-pigmenting strain able to cause food product discoloration, causing relevant economic losses especially in the dairy industry. Unlike non-pigmenting P. fluorescens, blue pigmenting strains previously were shown to carry a genomic region that includes homologs of trpABCDF genes, pointing at a possible role of the tryptophan biosynthetic pathway in production of the pigment. Here, we employ random mutagenesis to first identify the genes involved in blue-pigment production in P. fluorescens Ps_77 and second to investigate the biological function of the blue pigment. Genetic analyses based on the mapping of the random insertions allowed the identification of eight genes involved in pigment production, including the second copy of trpB (trpB_1) gene. Phenotypic characterization of Ps_77 white mutants demonstrated that the blue pigment increases oxidative-stress resistance. Indeed, while Ps_77 was growing at a normal rate in presence of 5 mM of H2O2, white mutants were completely inhibited. The antioxidative protection is not available for non-producing bacteria in co-culture with Ps_77.

Application of high-throughput pyrosequencing in the analysis of microbiota of food commodities procured from small and large retail outlets in a U.S. metropolitan area - A pilot study. Food Res Int 2017; 105:29-40.

Abstract
With the advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies, it is possible to comprehensively analyze the microbial community of foods without culturing them in the laboratory. The estimation of all microbes inhabiting a food commodity (food microbiota) therefore may shed light on the microbial quality and safety of foods. In this study, we utilized high-throughput pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA genes as well as traditional microbiological methods to evaluate the bacterial diversity and the predicted metabolic pathways associated with the bacterial communities of selected foods (romaine lettuce, cabbage, deli meat, and chicken legs, total 200 samples) procured from small and large retail outlets located in Memphis-Shelby County, Tennessee, USA. For high-throughput sequencing, microbial genomic DNA was directly extracted from the food products and subjected to genetic sequencing. Aerobic plate count of all food samples was also performed. Foods from small stores (such as corner stores) were found to contain higher bacterial counts as compared to large stores (such as supermarkets). High-throughput pyrosequencing in tandem with bioinformatics analyses revealed a comprehensive picture of the bacterial ecology of foods at different taxonomic levels. Firmicutes and Proteobacteria were the most abundant phyla across all products. At the genus level, Enterobacter and Pantoea in vegetables, and Bacillus and Aeromonas in animal products were found to be the most abundant. The bacterial predicted metabolic pathways such as inosine-5'-phosphate biosynthesis I, methylglyoxal (MG) degradation pathways, urea cycle, dTDP-l-rhamnose biosynthesis I, and mevalonate pathway I differed in foods procured from small stores as compared to large groceries or supermarkets. The results from this study revealed that the bacterial ecology (both in terms of numbers and types of bacteria) of food commodities might differ based on the vending outlet type (large vs. small) of retail stores. The overall estimation bacterial communities in foods by high-throughput sequencing method may be useful to identify potential taxa responsible for food spoilage. Moreover, the data from pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA genes can also be applied to infer major metabolic pathways in bacteria inhabiting different foods. This may reflect the role of these pathways in food-bacteria interaction and adaptation.
