Identification and characterization of lactic acid bacteria isolated from traditional cone yoghurt.

ABSTRACT: Cone yoghurt is a yoghurt variety produced by adding only pine cones to milk without culture in a limited area of Turkey. The present study was conducted to identify and characterize lactic flora in traditional cone yoghurt. Morphological, cultural, physiological, biochemical, and genotypic characteristics were employed to identify lactic acid bacteria isolates from cones and cone yoghurts. Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus (S. thermophilus) and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus (L. bulgaricus) were obtained from both cones and yoghurts. Among the isolates, L. plantarum was frequently isolated except for these two bacteria (S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus). The results indicate that the cone yoghurt has a mixed microflora contrary to the yoghurt produced by the addition of a starter culture and S. thermophilus, and L. bulgaricus in cone yoghurt originates from the pine cones.

Isolation, identification and potential probiotic characterization of lactic acid bacteria from Thai traditional fermented food.

Project description:The probiotic potential of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from Thai traditional fermented food was investigated. Forty-two samples were collected from four markets in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. Out of 50 isolated LAB, 6 (a3, f4, f8, K1, K4 and K9) obtained from pla-ra and bamboo shoot pickle samples showed high tolerance to gastrointestinal tract conditions. These isolates were selected to identify and characterize their probiotic properties. Isolate a3 was identified as Weissella thailandensis, isolates f4 and f8 were identified as belonging to Enterococcus thailandicus and isolates K1, K4 and K9 were determined as Limosilactobacillus fermentum. All six LAB exhibited high autoaggregation ability (93.40-95.01%), while W. thailandensis isolate a3 showed potential for coaggregation in almost all the pathogenic bacteria tested. Cell-free supernatant (CFS) obtained from all isolates did not inhibit Staphylococcus aureus. CFS derived from L. fermentum isolate K4 showed the most efficient antimicrobial activity, in particular against Gram-negative bacteria, while L. fermentum isolate K4 presented high surface hydrophobicity in the presence of xylene and n-hexane. All LAB isolates were found to be resistant to clindamycin and nalidixic acid, whereas E. thailandicus isolate f8 exhibited resistance to most of the antibiotics tested. L. fermentum isolate K4 showed promise as a suitable probiotic candidate for future applications in the food industry due to tolerance to gastrointestinal tract conditions with high surface hydrophobicity and inhibited most of the pathogens tested.

Genomic and functional characterization of bacteriocinogenic lactic acid bacteria isolated from Boza, a traditional cereal-based beverage.

Project description:Boza is a traditional low-alcohol fermented beverage from the Balkan Peninsula, frequently explored as a functional food product. The product is rich in Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) and some of them can produce bacteriocins. In this study, a sample of Boza from Belogratchik, Bulgaria, was analyzed for the presence of bacteriocinogenic LAB, and after analyses by RAPD-PCR, three representative isolates were characterized by genomic analyses, using whole genome sequencing. Isolates identified as Pediococcus pentosaceus ST75BZ and Pediococcus pentosaceus ST87BZ contained operons encoding for bacteriocins pediocin PA-1 and penocin A, while isolate identified as Pediococcus acidilactici ST31BZ contained only the operon for pediocin PA-1 and a CRISPR/Cas system for protection against bacteriophage infection. The antimicrobial activity of bacteriocins produced by the three isolates was inhibited by treatment of the cell-free supernatants with proteolytic enzymes. The produced bacteriocins inhibited the growth of Listeria monocytogenes, Enterococcus spp. and some Lactobacillus spp., among other tested species. The levels of bacteriocin production varied from 3200 to 12,800 AU/ml recorded against L. monocytogenes 104, 637 and 711, measured at 24 h of incubation at 37 °C. All bacteriocins remained active after incubation at pH 2.0-10.0. The activity mode of the studied bacteriocins was bactericidal, as determined against L. monocytogenes 104, 637 and 711. In addition, bactericidal activity was demonstrated using a cell leakage β-galactosidase assay, indicating a pore formation mechanism as a mode of action. The present study highlights the importance of combining genomic analyses and traditional microbiological approaches as way of characterizing microbial interactions in fermented foods.

Characterization, identification and application of lactic Acid bacteria isolated from forage paddy rice silage.

Project description:There has been growing interest to develop forage rice as a new feed resource for livestock. This study was to characterize the natural population of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and select potentially excellent strains for paddy rice silage preparation in China. One hundred and twenty-six strains were isolated and screened from paddy rice silage prepared using a small-scale fermentation system, and ninety-nine of these isolates were considered to be LAB based on their Gram-positive and catalase-negative morphology and the production of most of their metabolic products as lactic acid. These isolates were divided into eight groups (A-H) on the basis of their morphological and biochemical characteristics. The Group A to H strains were identified as Lactobacillus (L.) plantarum subsp. plantarum (species ratio: 8.1%), L. casei (5.1%), Leuconostoc (Ln.) pseudomesenteroides (11.1%), Pediococcus (P.) pentosaceus (24.2%), Enterococcus (E.) mundtii (12.1%), Lactococcus (Lc.) garvieae (15.2%), E. faecium (9.1%) and Lc. lactis subsp. lactis (15.2%) based on sequence analyses of their 16S rRNA and recA genes. P. pentosaceus was the most abundant member of the LAB population in the paddy rice silage. A selected strain, namely L. casei R 465, was found to be able to grow under low pH conditions and to improve the silage quality with low pH and a relatively high content of lactic acid. This study demonstrated that forage paddy rice silage contains abundant LAB species and its silage can be well preserved by inoculation with LAB, and that strain R 465 can be a potentially excellent inoculant for paddy rice silage.

Characterization of Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated from Sauce-type Kimchi.

Project description:This study was carried out to investigate the isolation and characterization of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from naturally fermented sauce-type kimchi. Sauce-type kimchi was prepared with fresh, chopped ingredients (Korean cabbage, radish, garlic, ginger, green onion, and red pepper). The two isolated bacteria from sauce-type kimchi were identified as Pediococcus pentosaceus and Lactobacillus brevis by 16S rDNA sequencing and tentatively named Pediococcus sp. IJ-K1 and Lactobacillus sp. IJ-K2, respectively. Pediococcus sp. IJ-K1 was isolated from the early and middle fermentation stages of sauce-type kimchi whereas Lactobacillus sp. IJ-K2 was isolated from the late fermentation stage. The resistance of Pediococcus sp. IJ-K1 and Lactobacillus sp. IJ-K2 to artificial gastric and bile acids led to bacterial survival rates that were 100% and 84.21%, respectively.

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

Project description: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.

Probiotic characterization of lactic acid bacteria isolated from swine intestine.

Project description:A study was conducted with the objective to isolate probiotic microorganisms from swine intestine.In this study 63 isolates (24 caeca, 24 colon mucosal scrapings, and 15 rectal swab samples) were collected from Large White Yorkshire pigs. The isolates were inoculated and grown in de Man Rogosa Sharpe broth at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 48 h and subjected to morphological identification. Colonies having Gram-positive rods were selected for further physiological and biochemical identification tests, which were conducted in triplicate in two runs for each of the selected isolates using a standard protocol. Probiotic properties among the identified species were determined through the implementation of several tests related with pH tolerance, bile tolerance, and antimicrobial activity.Morphological identification revealed that only 23 isolates were Gram-positive rods. Physiological tests performed on these 23 isolates further revealed that four of them did not exhibit any growth, at all conditions studied. The rest 19 isolates were, therefore, selected and subjected to biochemical tests. Six isolates were rejected because they were oxidase and nitrate reduction positive. From the 13 isolates subjected to sugar fermentation tests, speciation of only two isolates could be ascertained, one of the isolates showed characteristics for Lactobacillus acidophilus and the other for Lactobacillus plantarum. These two isolates were assessed for the strain possessing maximum probiotic property, and it was inferred that both - L. plantarum and L. acidophilus could tolerate a wide pH range (2-9), a wide bile concentration (0.05-0.3%) and revealed antimicrobial activity toward Escherichia coli, and Enterobacter spp.L. plantarum and L. acidophilus were isolated from swine intestine and were found to have good probiotic properties.

Characterization of Arginine Catabolism by Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated from Kimchi.

Project description:Kimchi fermentation depends on diverse lactic acid bacteria, which convert raw materials into numerous metabolites that contribute to the taste of food. Amino acids and saccharides are important primary metabolites. Arginine is nearly exhausted during kimchi fermentation, whereas the concentrations of other amino acids are reported not to increase or decrease dramatically. These phenomena could imply that arginine is an important nutritional component among the amino acids during kimchi fermentation. In this study, we investigated the arginine-catabolism pathway of seven lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi and evaluated the products of arginine catabolism (citrulline and ornithine) associated with the bacteria. The arginine content dramatically decreased in cultures of Lactobacillus brevis and Weissella confusa from 300 ?g/mL of arginine to 0.14 ± 0.19 and 1.3 ± 0.01 ?g/mL, respectively, after 6 h of cultivation. Citrulline and ornithine production by L. brevis and W. confusa showed a pattern that was consistent with arginine catabolism. Interestingly, Pediococcus pentosaceus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, and Leuconostoc lactis did not show increased citrulline levels after arginine was added. The ornithine contents were higher in all bacteria except for L. lactis after adding arginine to the culture. These results were consistent with the absence of the arginine deiminase gene among the lactic acid bacteria. Arginine consumption and ornithine production were monitored and compared with lactic acid bacteria by metagenomics analysis, which showed that the increment of ornithine production correlated positively with lactic acid bacteria growth.

Antimicrobial properties of lactic acid bacteria isolated from traditional yogurt and milk against Shigella strains.

Project description:Background: Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are normal flora of the mouth, intestines and the female genital tract. They are also frequently found in meat, vegetables, and dairy products. Most of probiotic bacteria belong to the LAB group. Some probiotic LAB are useful in prevention and treatment of diarrheal diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial properties of LAB isolated from traditional yogurt and milk against Shigella strains. Materials and methods: Forty LAB strains were isolated from traditional yogurt and milk. The antimicrobial activity of LAB against Shigella strains (eight S. flexneri, four S. sonnei) was examined using the agar-well diffusion assay. LAB strains with antimicrobial effect against all Shigella strains were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Results: Six LAB strains inhibited the growth of all 12 Shigella strains. Lb. paracasei Y1-3, Lb. paracasei Y8-1 and Lb. fermentum Y2-2 were isolated from yogurt. Lb. paracasei M18-1, Lb. parelimentarius M4-3 and Lb. plantarum M19-1 were isolated from milk. Conclusion: This study showed that Lactobacillus strains with good inhibitory activity against S. flexneri and S. sonnei could be isolated from traditional yogurt and milk.

Isolation and characterization of lactic acid bacteria from traditional pickles of Himachal Pradesh, India.

Project description:A total of 15 isolates of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from traditional pickles of rural and urban areas of Himachal Pradesh. These isolates were identified as Enterococcus faecalis (7), Lactobacillus plantarum (3), Pediococcus pentosaceus (2), Leuconostoc mesenteroides (1), Lactococcus lactis (1) and Enterococcus sp. (1) on the basis of morphological, biochemical and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. All the LABs produced exopolysaccharides, have antibiotic susceptibility, and possess activity of ?-galactosidase, ?-glucosidase, protease and amylase, while none of the isolates showed haemolytic activity. Out of 15 isolates tested, only 6 isolates showed the phytase activity. These LAB exhibited antimicrobial activity against food borne pathogenic bacteria i.e. Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella dysenteriae. These results suggested that LAB isolates from traditional pickles of Himachal Pradesh have very good potential to be used as probiotics.

Biochemical and molecular identification and characterization of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts isolated from Ethiopian naturally fermented buttermilk.

Project description:Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts were enumerated and identified from naturally fermented buttermilk. Isolates were first subjected to chemical tests and then to molecular characterization. Molecular identification involved pure sequencing of 16s rRNA (LAB) and 18s rRNA (yeast) genes. Polymerase Chain Reaction-Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) was used for detection of microbiota composition. Eighty-five LAB and 26 yeast isolates obtained from 16 small-scale dairy farms were isolated and identified. The microbial composition was dominated by strains of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis, Lactobacillus plantarum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Molecular techniques enabled not only genetic confirmation but also detection of some uncultivated strains. The presence of diverse strains of LAB and yeasts in NFB indicated a potential for development of different starter cultures to make new dairy products.
