Succession of selected strains of Acetobacter pasteurianus and other acetic acid bacteria in traditional balsamic vinegar.

ABSTRACT: The application of a selected Acetobacter pasteurianus strain for traditional balsamic vinegar production was assessed. Genomic DNA was extracted from biofilms after enrichment cultures on GYC medium (10% glucose, 1.0% yeast extract, 2.0% calcium carbonate) and used for PCR/denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus/PCR sequencing. Results suggested that double-culture fermentation is suitable for traditional balsamic vinegar acetification.

Project description:In this study, spore-forming bacteria isolated from saccharified rice were selected for producing acetic acid. From the screening of 15 strains, P8 strain was chosen as a candidate. The strain was identified as Paenibacillus azoreducens by 16S rRNA analysis (99.85% similarity with P. azoreducens CM1T). Acetic acid is the main component of vinegar but also an industrial commodity produced by chemical synthesis. Sustainable routes for obtaining acetic acid are of great interest for decreasing the environmental impact generated by chemical syntheses. Biological acetic acid production is effective for vinegar production by acetic acid bacteria, but it cannot economically compete with the chemical synthesis for producing it as a pure commodity. Considering the need to improve the yield of pure acetic acid produced by microbial conversions, in this study, P8 strain was chosen for designing processes in different fermentation conditions. Tests were conducted in single and semi-continuous systems, using rice wine as substrate. Acetic acid produced by P8 strain was compared with that of Acetobacter pasteurianus (UMCC 2951), a strain known for producing acetic acid from rice wine. Even though the fermentation performances of P. azoreducens P8 were slightly lower than those of acetic acid bacteria usually used for vinegar production, results highlight its suitability for producing acetic acid. The final acetic acid produced by P. azoreducens P8 was 73 g/L, in a single stage fermentation, without losses. In nine cycles of semi-continuous regime the average of acetification rate was 0.814 (g/L/days). Two main attributes of P. azoreducens P8 are of relevance for producing acetic acid, namely the ability to grow at temperature higher (+ 37°C), than mesophilic acetic acid bacteria, and the absence of cytoplasmic assimilation of acetic acid. These features allow to design multiple strains cultures, in which P. azoreducens can acts as a helper strain. Based on our results, the new isolate P. azoreducens P8 can be propagated in fermenting broths for boosting acetic acid production, under the selected conditions, and used in combination with acetic acid bacteria to produce biological acetic acid, as a non-food grade commodity.

Project description:The microbial community plays an important role on the solid-state fermentation (SSF) of Chinese cereal vinegar, where acetic acid bacteria (AAB) and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are the dominant bacteria. In this study, the top-down (in situ) and bottom-up (in vitro) approaches were employed to reveal the interaction of AAB and LAB in SSF of Shanxi aged vinegar (SAV). The results of high-throughput sequencing indicates that Acetobacter pasteurianus and Lactobacillus helveticus are the predominant species of AAB and LAB, respectively, and they showed negative interrelationship during the fermentation. A. pasteurianus CGMCC 3089 and L. helveticus CGMCC 12062, both of which were isolated from fermentation of SAV, showed no nutritional competition when they were co-cultured in vitro. However, the growth and metabolism of L. helveticus CGMCC 12062 were inhibited during SSF due to the presence of A. pasteurianus CGMCC 3089, indicating an amensalism phenomenon between these two species. The transcriptomic results shows that there are 831 differentially expressed genes (|log2 (Fold Change)| > 1 and, p ≤ 0.05) in L. helveticus CGMCC 12062 under co-culture condition comparing to its mono-culture, which are mainly classified into Gene Ontology classification of molecular function, biological process, and cell composition. Of those 831 differentially expressed genes, 202 genes are up-regulated and 629 genes are down-regulated. The down-regulated genes were enriched in KEGG pathways of sugar, amino acid, purine, and pyrimidine metabolism. The transcriptomic results for A. pasteurianus CGMCC 3089 under co-culture condition reveals 529 differentially expressed genes with 393 up-regulated and 136 down-regulated, and the genes within KEGG pathways of sugar, amino acid, purine, and pyrimidine metabolism are up-regulated. Results indicate an amensalism relationship in co-culture of A. pasteurianus and L. helveticus. Therefore, this work gives a whole insight on the interaction between the predominant species in SSF of cereal vinegar from nutrient utilization, endogenous factors inhibition and the regulation of gene transcription.

Project description:The production of vinegar on an industrial scale from different raw materials is subject to constraints, notably the low tolerance of acetic acid bacteria (AAB) to high temperatures and high ethanol concentrations. In this study, we used 25 samples of different fruits from seven Moroccan biotopes with arid and semi-arid environmental conditions as a basic substrate to isolate thermo- and ethanol-tolerant AAB strains. The isolation and morphological, biochemical and metabolic characterization of these bacteria allowed us to isolate a total number of 400 strains with characters similar to AAB, of which six strains (FAGD1, FAGD10, FAGD18 and GCM2, GCM4, GCM15) were found to be mobile and immobile Gram-negative bacteria with ellipsoidal rod-shaped colonies that clustered in pairs and in isolated chains. These strains are capable of producing acetic acid from ethanol, growing on peptone and oxidizing acetate to CO2 and H2O. Strains FAGD1, FAGD10 and FAGD18 show negative growth on YPG medium containing D-glucose > 30%, while strains GCM2, GCM4 and GCM15 show positive growth. These six strains stand out on CARR indicator medium as isolates of the genus Acetobacter ssp. Analysis of 16S rDNA gene sequencing allowed us to differentiate these strains as Acetobacter fabarum and Acetobacter pasteurianus. The study of the tolerance of these six isolates towards pH showed that most of the six strains are unable to grow at pH 3 and pH 9, with an ideal pH of 5. The behavior of the six strains at different concentrations of ethanol shows an optimal production of acetic acid after incubation at concentrations between 6% and 8% (v/v) of ethanol. All six strains tolerated an ethanol concentration of 16% (v/v). The resistance of the strains to acetic acid differs between the species of AAB. The optimum acetic acid production is obtained at a concentration of 1% (v/v) for the strains of FAGD1, FAGD10 and FAGD18, and 3% (v/v) for GCM2, GCM4 and GCM15. These strains are able to tolerate an acetic acid concentration of up to 6% (v/v). The production kinetics of the six strains show the highest levels of growth and acetic acid production at 30 °C. This rate of growth and acetic acid production is high at 35 °C, 37 °C and 40 °C. Above 40 °C, the production of acid is reduced. All six strains continue to produce acetic acid, even at high temperatures up to 48 °C. These strains can be used in the vinegar production industry to minimize the load on cooling systems, especially in countries with high summer temperatures.
