Louis D, Florence P, Ivan L, Anne-Gabrielle M. Detection of risk areas in dairy powder processes: The development of thermophilic spore forming bacteria taking into account their growth limits. Int J Food Microbiol 2024; 418:110716. [PMID: 38669747 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2024.110716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
Anoxybacillus flavithermus, Geobacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus licheniformis are the main contaminants found in dairy powders. These spore-forming thermophilic bacteria, rarely detected in raw milk, persist, and grow during the milk powder manufacturing process. Moreover, in the form of spores, these species resist and concentrate in the powders during the processes. The aim of this study was to determine the stages of the dairy powder manufacturing processes that are favorable to the growth of such contaminants. A total of 5 strains were selected for each species as a natural contaminant of dairy pipelines in order to determine the minimum and maximum growth enabling values for temperature, pH, and aw and their optimum growth rates in milk. These growth limits were combined with the environmental conditions of temperature, pH and aw encountered at each step of the manufacture of whole milk, skim milk and milk protein concentrate powders to estimate growth capacities using cardinal models and the Gamma concept. These simulations were used to theoretically calculate the population sizes reached for the different strains studied at each stage in between two successive cleaning in place procedures. This approach highlights the stages at which risk occurs for the development of spore-forming thermophilic bacterial species. During the first stages of production, i.e. pre-treatment, pasteurization, standardization and pre-heating before concentration, physico-chemical conditions encountered are suitable for the development and growth of A. flavithermus, G. stearothermophilus and B. licheniformis. During the pre-heating stage and during the first effects in the evaporators, the temperature conditions appear to be the most favorable for the growth of G. stearothermophilus. The temperatures in the evaporator during the last evaporator effects are favorable for the growth of B. licheniformis. In the evaporation stage, low water activity severely limits the development of A. flavithermus.

Abstract
Reverse transcriptases (RTs) are a family of enzymes that synthesize DNA using an RNA template and are involved in retrovirus propagation and telomere lengthening. In vitro, RTs are widely applied in various methods, including RNA-seq, RT-PCR, and RT-LAMP. Thermostable RTs from bacterial group II introns are promising tools for biotechnology due to their higher thermostability, fidelity, and processivity compared to commonly used M-MuLV RT and its mutants. However, the diversity of group II intron-encoded RTs is still understudied. In this work, we biochemically characterized a novel RT from a thermophilic bacterium, Anoxybacillus flavithermus, which was isolated from a hot spring in New Zealand and has an optimal growth temperature of around 60 °C. The cloned RT, named Afl RT, retained approximately 40% of the specific activity after a 45 min incubation at 50 °C. The optimal pH was 8.5, the optimal temperature was between 45 and 50 °C, and Mn2+ ions were found to be an optimal cofactor. The processivity analysis with MS2 phage gRNA (3569 b) demonstrated that Afl RT elongated fully up to 36% of the template molecules. In reverse transcription and RT-qLAMP, the enzyme allowed up to 10 copies of MS2 phage genomic RNA to be detected per reaction. Thus, Afl RT holds great potential for a variety of practical applications that require the use of thermostable and processive RTs.

Abstract
A xylanase gene (named xyngmqa) was identified from the metagenomic data of the Gumingquan hot spring (92.5 °C, pH 9.2) in Tengchong City, Yunnan Province, southwest China. It showed the highest amino acid sequence identity (82.70%) to endo-1,4-beta-xylanase from Thermotoga caldifontis. A constitutive expression plasmid (denominated pSHY211) and double-layer plate (DLP) method were constructed for cloning, expression, and identification of the XynGMQA gene. The XynGMQA gene was synthesized and successfully expressed in Escherichia coli DH5α. XynGMQA exhibited optimal activity at 90 °C and pH 4.6, being thermostable by maintaining 100% of its activity after 2 h incubated at 80 °C. Interestingly, its enzyme activity was enhanced by high temperatures (70 and 80 °C) and low pH (3.0-6.0). About 150% enzyme activity was detected after incubation at 70 °C for 20 to 60 min or 80 °C for 10 to 40 min, and more than 140% enzyme activity after incubation at pH 3.0 to 6.0 for 12 h. Hydrolytic products of beechwood xylan with XynGMQA were xylooligosaccharides, including xylobiose (X2), xylotriose (X3), and xylotetraose (X4). These properties suggest that XynGMQA as an extremely thermophilic xylanase, may be exploited for biofuel and prebiotic production from lignocellulosic biomass.

Abstract
Microbial consortia under anaerobic conditions are involved in oxidizing organic matter in the sludge to produce methane gas. However, in developing countries like Kenya, these microbes have not been fully identified to target them for the efficient harnessing of biofuel. This study collected wet sludge from two anaerobic digestion lagoons 1 and 2 that were operational during sampling at Kangemi Sewage Treatment Plant, in Nyeri County, Kenya. DNA was extracted from samples using commercially available ZymoBIOMICS™ DNA Miniprep Kit and sequenced using Shotgun metagenomics. Samples were analyzed using MG-RAST software (Project ID: mgp100988), which allowed for identifying microorganisms directly involved in various stages of methanogenesis pathways. The study found hydrogenotrophic methanogens, such as Methanospirillum (32%), Methanobacterium (27%), Methanobrevibacter (27%), and Methanosarcina (32%), being predominant in the lagoon communities, whereas acetoclastic microorganisms such as the Methanoregula (22%) and the acetate oxidazing bacteria such as Clostridia (68%) were the key microbes for that pathway in the sewage digester sludge. Furthermore, Methanothermobacter (18%), Methanosarcina (21%), Methanosaeta (15%), and Methanospirillum (13%) carried out the methylotrophic pathway. In contrast, Methanosarcina (23%),Methanoregula (14%), methanosaeta (13%), and methnanoprevibacter (13%) seemed to play an important role in the final step of methane release. This study concluded that the sludge produced from the Nyeri-Kangemi WWTP harbors microbes with significant potential for biogas production. The study recommends a pilot study to investigate the efficiency of the identified microbes for biogas production.

Abstract
Extremophile bacteria have developed the metabolic machinery for living in extreme temperatures, pH, and high-salt content. Two novel bacterium strains Alicyclobacillus sp. PA1 and Alicyclobacillus sp. PA2, were isolated from crater lake El Chichon in Chiapas, Mexico. Phylogenetic tree analysis based on the 16SrRNA gene sequence revealed that the strain Alicyclobacillus sp. PA1 and Alicyclobacillus sp. PA2 were closely related to Alicyclobacillus species (98% identity and 94.73% identity, respectively). Both strains were Gram variable, and colonies were circular, smooth and creamy. Electron microscopy showed than Alicyclobacillus sp. PA1 has a daisy-like form and Alicyclobacillus sp. PA2 is a regular rod. Both strains can use diverse carbohydrates and triglycerides as carbon source and they also can use organic and inorganic nitrogen source. But, the two strains can grow without any carbon or nitrogen sources in the culture medium. Temperature, pH and nutrition condition affect bacterial growth. Maximum growth was produced at 65 °C for Alicyclobacillus sp. PA1 (0.732 DO600) at pH 3 and Alicyclobacillus sp. PA2 (0.725 DO600) at pH 5. Inducible extracellular extremozyme activities were determined for β-galactosidase (Alicyclobacillus sp. PA1: 88.07 ± 0.252 U/mg, Alicyclobacillus sp. PA2: 51.57 ± 0.308 U/mg), cellulose (Alicyclobacillus sp. PA1: 141.20 ± 0.585 U/mg, Alicyclobacillus sp. PA2: 51.57 ± 0.308 U/mg), lipase (Alicyclobacillus sp. PA1: 138.25 ± 0.600 U/mg, Alicyclobacillus sp. PA2: 175.75 ± 1.387 U/mg), xylanase (Alicyclobacillus sp. PA1: 174.72 ± 1.746 U/mg, Alicyclobacillus sp. PA2: 172.69 ± 0.855U/mg), and protease (Alicyclobacillus sp. PA1: 15.12 ± 0.121 U/mg, Alicyclobacillus sp. PA2: 15.33 ± 0.284 U/mg). These results provide new insights on extreme enzymatic production on Alicyclobacillus species.

Abstract
The accelerating energy demands of the increasing global population and industrialization has become a matter of great concern all over the globe. In the present scenario, the world is witnessing a considerably huge energy crisis owing to the limited availability of conventional energy resources and rapid depletion of non-renewable fossil fuels. Therefore, there is a dire need to explore the alternative renewable fuels that can fulfil the energy requirements of the growing population and overcome the intimidating environmental issues like greenhouse gas emissions, global warming, air pollution etc. The use of microorganisms such as bacteria has captured significant interest in the recent era for the conversion of the chemical energy reserved in organic compounds into electrical energy. The versatility of the microorganisms to generate renewable energy fuels from multifarious biological and biomass substrates can abate these ominous concerns to a great extent. For instance, most of the microorganisms can easily transform the carbohydrates into alcohol. Establishing the microbial fuel technology as an alternative source for the generation of renewable energy sources can be a state of art technology owing to its reliability, high efficiency, cleanliness and production of minimally toxic or inclusively non-toxic byproducts. This review paper aims to highlight the key points and techniques used for the employment of bacteria to generate, biofuels and bioenergy, and their foremost benefits.

Abstract
Xylanolytic enzymes have a broad range of applications in industrial biotechnology as biocatalytic components of various processes and products, such as food additives, bakery products, coffee extraction, agricultural silage and functional foods. An increasing market demand has driven the growing interest for the discovery of xylanases with specific industrially relevant characteristics, such as stability at elevated temperatures and in the presence of other denaturing factors, which will facilitate their incorporation into industrial processes. In this work, we report the discovery and biochemical characterization of a new thermostable GH10 xylanase, termed XynDZ5, exhibiting only 26% amino acid sequence identity to the closest characterized xylanolytic enzyme. This new enzyme was discovered in an Icelandic hot spring enrichment culture of a Thermoanaerobacterium species using a recently developed bioinformatic analysis platform. XynDZ5 was produced recombinantly in Escherichia coli, purified and characterized biochemically. This analysis revealed that it acts as an endo-1,4-β-xylanase that performs optimally at 65–75°C and pH 7.5. The enzyme is capable of retaining high levels of catalytic efficiency after several hours of incubation at high temperatures, as well as in the presence of significant concentrations of a range of metal ions and denaturing agents. Interestingly, the XynDZ5 biochemical profile was found to be atypical, as it also exhibits significant exo-activity. Computational modeling of its three-dimensional structure predicted a (β/α)8 TIM barrel fold, which is very frequently encountered among family GH10 enzymes. This modeled structure has provided clues about structural features that may explain aspects of its catalytic performance. Our results suggest that XynDZ5 represents a promising new candidate biocatalyst appropriate for several high-temperature biotechnological applications in the pulp, paper, baking, animal-feed and biofuel industries.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize novel alkali-thermostable xylanase genes from the mixed genome DNA of camel rumen metagenome. In this study, a five-stage computational screening procedure was utilized to find the primary candidate enzyme with superior properties from the camel rumen metagenome. This enzyme was subjected to cloning, purification, and structural and functional characterization. It showed high thermal stability, high activity in a broad range of pH (6-11) and temperature (30-90 °C) and effectivity in recalcitrant lignocellulosic biomass degradation. Our results demonstrated the power of in silico analysis to discover novel alkali-thermostable xylanases, effective for the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass.

Abstract
The applicability of a dynamic membrane (DM) was examined in the anaerobic treatment of high-strength food waste. A DM was established on woven polyester with a pore size of 50 µm, which achieved a solids retention time to hydraulic retention time ratio of 2.1:12.1. The highest average rate of methane production (1.1 L CH4/L/d) was achieved with an organic loading rate (OLR) of 5.0 g chemical oxygen demand (COD)/L/d. Propionate was the most abundant volatile fatty acid (VFA) for OLRs above 3.1 g/L/d, but concentrations were maintained below 0.9 g/L. Up to 82% of the VFAs in the mixed liquor was reduced in the effluent, implying high methanogenic activity of the DM. Microbial assays confirmed a higher archaeal and bacterial content in the DM than in the mixed liquor at shear velocities above 1.0 cm/s. Methanolinea tarda, which is known to be propionate tolerant, was the predominant archaea in the DM.

The samples obtained were first enriched in nutrient broth at 45°C and 55°C prior culturing in the carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) agar medium. Repeated streaking was performed on the CMC agar to obtain a pure culture of each isolate prior subjecting it to hydrolysis capacity testing. The isolates that showing the cellulolytic zone (halozone) were sent for 16S rRNA sequencing. Total seven isolates (two from Perak, three from Kedah, another two were from Perlis and Penang each) showed halozone. The isolate (KFX-40) from Kedah exhibited highest halozone of 3.42 ± 0.58, meanwhile, the one obtained from Perak (AFZ-0) showed the lowest hydrolysis capacity (2.61 ± 0.10). Based on 16S rRNA sequencing results, 5 isolates (AFY-40, AFZ-0, KFX-40, RFY-20, and PFX-40) were determined to be Anoxybacillus sp. The other two isolates were identified as Bacillus subtilis (KFY-40) and Paenibacillus dendritiformis (KFX-0). Based on growth curve, doubling time of Anoxybacillus sp. UniMAP-KB06 was calculated to be 32.3 min. Optimal cellulose hydrolysis temperature and pH of this strain were determined to be 55°C and 6.0 respectively. Addition of Mg2+ and Ca2+ were found to enhance the cellulase activity while Fe3+ acted as an enzyme inhibitor.

Thermostable Xylanase Production by Geobacillus sp. Strain DUSELR13, and Its Application in Ethanol Production with Lignocellulosic Biomass. Microorganisms 2018; 6:microorganisms6030093. [PMID: 30189618 PMCID: PMC6164562 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms6030093] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2018] [Revised: 08/29/2018] [Accepted: 08/31/2018] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of the current study was to optimize the production of xylanase, and its application for ethanol production using the lignocellulosic biomass. A highly thermostable crude xylanase was obtained from the Geobacillus sp. strain DUSELR13 isolated from the deep biosphere of Homestake gold mine, Lead, SD. Geobacillus sp. strain DUSELR13 produced 6 U/mL of the xylanase with the beechwood xylan. The xylanase production was improved following the optimization studies, with one factor at a time approach, from 6 U/mL to 19.8 U/mL with xylan. The statistical optimization with response surface methodology further increased the production to 31 U/mL. The characterization studies revealed that the crude xylanase complex had an optimum pH of 7.0, with a broad pH range of 5.0⁻9.0, and an optimum temperature of 75 °C. The ~45 kDa xylanase protein was highly thermostable with t1/2 of 48, 38, and 13 days at 50, 60, and 70 °C, respectively. The xylanase activity increased with the addition of Cu+2, Zn+2, K+, and Fe+2 at 1 mM concentration, and Ca+2, Zn+2, Mg+2, and Na⁺ at 10 mM concentration. The comparative analysis of the crude xylanase against its commercial counterpart Novozymes Cellic HTec and Dupont, Accellerase XY, showed that it performed better at higher temperature, hydrolyzing 65.4% of the beechwood at 75 °C. The DUSEL R13 showed the mettle to hydrolyze, and utilize the pretreated, and untreated lignocellulosic biomass: prairie cord grass (PCG), and corn stover (CS) as the substrate, and gave a maximum yield of 20.5 U/mL with the untreated PCG. When grown in co-culture with Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius, it produced 3.53 and 3.72 g/L ethanol, respectively with PCG, and CS. With these characteristics the xylanase under study could be an industrial success for the high temperature bioprocesses.

Abstract
Anoxybacillus kamchatkensis NASTPD13 used herein as a source for thermostable alkaline xylanase were isolated from Paudwar Hot Springs, Nepal. NASTPD13 cultured at 60°C, pH 7 and in presence of inorganic (ammonium sulfate) or organic (yeast extract) nitrogen sources, produced maximum xylanase enzyme. Xylanase production in the cultures was monitored by following the ability of culture media to hydrolyze beech wood xylan producing xylooligosaccharide and xylose by thin layer chromatography (TLC). The extracellular xylanase was isolated from optimized A. kamchatkensis NASTPD13 cultures by ammonium sulfate (80%) precipitation; the enriched xylanase preparation was dialyzed and purified using Sephadex G100 column chromatography. The purified xylanaseshowed 11-fold enrichment with a specific activity of 33 U/mg and molecular weight were37 kDa based on SDS-PAGE and PAGE-Zymography. The optimum pH and temperature of purified xylanase was 9.0 and 65°C respectively retainingmore than 50% of its maximal activity over a broad range of pH (6–9) and temperature (30–65°C). With beech wood xylan, the enzyme showed Km 0.7 mg/ml and Vmax 66.64 μM/min/mg The xylanase described herein is a secretory enzyme produced in large quantities by NASTPD13 and is a novel thermostable, alkaline xylanase with potential biotechnological applications.

Abstract
The present study investigates the production and partial biochemical characterization of an extracellular thermostable xylanase from the Bacillus oceanisediminis strain SJ3 newly recovered from Algerian soil using three phase partitioning (TPP). The maximum xylanase activity recorded after 2 days of incubation at 37 °C was 20.24 U/ml in the presence of oat spelt xylan. The results indicated that the enzyme recovered in the middle phase of TPP system using the optimum parameters were determined as 50% ammonium sulfate saturation with 1.0:1.5 ratio of crude extract: t-butanol at pH and temperature of 8.0 and 10 °C, respectively. The xylanase was recovered with 3.48 purification fold and 107% activity recovery. The enzyme was optimally active at pH 7.0 and was stable over a broad pH range of 5.0–10. The optimum temperature for xylanase activity was 55 °C and the half-life time at this temperature was of 6 h. At this time point the enzyme retained 50% of its activity after incubation for 2 h at 95 °C. The crude enzyme resist to sodium dodecyl sulfate and β-mercaptoethanol, while all the tested ions do not affect the activity of the enzyme. The recovered enzyme is, at least, stable in tested organic solvents except in propanol where a reduction of 46.5% was observed. Further, the stability of the xylanase was higher in hydrophobic solvents where a maximum stability was observed with cyclohexane. These properties make this enzyme to be highly thermostable and may be suggested as a potential candidate for application in some industrial processes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of xylanase activity and recoverey using three phase partitioning from B. oceanisediminis.

Abstract
A new facultative chemolithoautotrophic arsenite (AsIII)-oxidizing bacterium TCC9-4 was isolated from a hot spring microbial mat in Tengchong of Yunnan, China. This strain could grow with AsIII as an energy source, CO2–HCO3- as a carbon source and oxygen as the electron acceptor in a minimal salts medium. Under chemolithoautotrophic conditions, more than 90% of 100 mg/L AsIII could be oxidized by the strain TCC9-4 in 36 h. Temperature was an important environmental factor that strongly influenced the AsIII oxidation rate and AsIII oxidase (Aio) activity; the highest Aio activity was found at the temperature of 40∘C. Addition of 0.01% yeast extract enhanced the growth significantly, but delayed the AsIII oxidation. On the basis of 16S rRNA phylogenetic sequence analysis, strain TCC9-4 was identified as Anoxybacillus flavithermus. To our best knowledge, this is the first report of arsenic (As) oxidation by A. flavithermus. The Aio gene in TCC9-4 might be quite novel relative to currently known gene sequences. The results of this study expand our current understanding of microbially mediated As oxidation in hot springs.
