In vitro Characterization of Bacteriocin Produced by Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated from Nem Chua, a Traditional Vietnamese Fermented Pork.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to screen and In vitro characterize the properties of bacteriocin produced by lactic acid bacteria isolated from Vietnamese fermented pork (Nem chua). One hundred and fifty LAB were isolated from ten samples of Nem chua and screened for bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria. Antimicrobial activity of bacteriocin was carried out by spot on lawn method against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. One isolate, assigned as KL-1, produced bacteriocin and showed inhibitory activity against Lactobacillus sakei, Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Enterococcus faecalis. To characterize the bacteriocin-producing strain, optimum temperature, incubation period for maximum bacteriocin production and identification of bacteriocin-producing strain were determined. It was found that the optimum cultivation temperature of the strain to produce the maximum bacteriocin activity (12,800 AU/mL) was obtained at 30?. Meanwhile, bacteriocin production at 6,400 AU/mL was found when culturing the strain at 37? and 42?. The isolate KL-1 was identified as L. plantarum. Antimicrobial activity of cell-free supernatant was completely inhibited by proteolytic enzyme of trypsin, alpha-chymotrypsin and proteinase K. Bacteriocin activity was stable at high temperature up to 100? for 10 min and at 4? storage for 2 d. However, the longer heating at 100? and 4? storage, its activity was reduced.

Project description:At present, there is an increasing interest in beverages of non-dairy origin, as alternatives to those based on milk, but having similar health-promoting properties. Fermentation with specific bacteria or consortia may enhance the functionality of these products. In our study, selected lactic acid bacteria, that have been previously shown to possess functional properties (antimicrobial activity, probiotic potential), were used for the fermentation of wheat bran combined with root vegetables. Strains were investigated for their safety, while the obtained beverages were characterized in terms of microbial content, physical, chemical, nutritional, and functional properties. None of the strains harbors virulence genes, but all of them possess genes for survival at low pH, starch metabolism, and vitamin biosynthesis. Three strains (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum BR9, L. plantarum P35, and Lactobacillus acidophilus IBB801) and two substrates (5% wheat bran with 10% red beetroot/carrots) were selected based on a preliminary assessment of the beverage's sensory acceptability. These strains showed good growth and stability over time in the stored beverages. No enterobacteria were detected at the end of fermentations, while the final pH was, in most cases, below 3.5. Free phenolics, flavonoids, and DPPH scavenging effect increased during fermentation in all drinks, reaching 24h values that were much higher than in the unfermented substrates. Most of the obtained drinks were able to prevent the growth of certain pathogens, including Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19111, Salmonella enterica ATCC 14028, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. The obtained beverages would combine the nutritiveness of the raw ingredients with the beneficial effect of fermentation (increasing shelf life, health-promoting effect, pleasant flavor, etc.). They would also fill a gap in the non-dairy probiotics sector, which is constantly increasing due to the increasing number of vegan people or people that cannot consume dairy products.

Project description:Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are believed to have health-promoting properties to the host and can be used in therapeutics interventions; intriguingly, they have the property to produce bio-preservatives substances. Therefore, this study aimed to mine probiotics and evaluate their safety, functional properties, and cholesterol-lowering capability. Seven potential probiotic strains were compared from 56 LAB strains isolated from traditional Chinese fermented milk. The results showed that all tested strains are tolerant to gastric acidity (45.5-83.26) and bile salts (11.92-92.91%) and have antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923 and Escherichia coli ATCC25922. Likewise, it lowered the cholesterol levels in vitro by live cells (26.57-45.76%) and dead cells (29.53-50.97%) with remarkable aggregation ability (13.8-43.71%). Antioxidant properties and produce short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were strain-dependent features. Upon assessment of the safety, Enterococcus faecium NWAFU-BIO-AS14 exhibited virulence factors genes (VFs) of (mur-2ed, odc, and tet(K)) and + hemolysis activity. While Enterococcus faecium NWAFU-BIO-A-B24 and Limosilactobacillus fermentum NWAFU-BIO-B-S6 have VFs of (odc, vanC2, and ant(6)-Ia). Limosilactobacillus fermentum NWAFU-BIO-D-B2 has only (odc). Thus, they are not considered as safe probiotics. In contrast, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NWAFU-BIO-BS29, Companilactobacillus crustorum NWAFU-BIO-AS16, and Lactobacillus gallinarum NWAFU-BIO-D-S7 are the safest and best strains, respectively, due to the absence of 16 VFs and their sensitivity to antibiotics such as kanamycin, erythromycin, tetracycline, gentamycin, vancomycin, streptomycin, chloramphenicol, and ampicillin. Accordingly, these strains have a high potentiality to be used as starter cultures or safely applied as perfect probiotics in functionals food and feed.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13205-022-03403-z.
