Immunostimulatory Activity of Synbiotics Using Lactococcus lactis SG-030 and Glucooligosaccharides from Weissella cibaria YRK005.

ABSTRACT: Much attention has been recently paid to the health benefits of synbiotics, a combination of probiotics and prebiotics. In this study, synbiotics were prepared by combining lactic acid bacteria with potential as probiotics and purified glucooligosaccharides, and their immunostimulatory activity was evaluated using RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. A lactic acid bacteria strain with high antioxidant activity, acid and bile salt tolerance, adhesion to Caco-2 cells, and nitric oxide (NO) production was selected as a potential probiotic strain. The selected strain, isolated from forsythia, was identified as Lactococcus lactis SG-030. The purified glucooligosaccharides produced from Weissella cibaria YRK005 were used as prebiotics. RAW 264.7 cells were treated with synbiotics in two ways. One way was a simultaneous treatment with lactic acid bacteria and glucooligosaccharides. The other way was to pre-culture the lactic acid bacteria with glucooligosaccharides followed by treatment with synbiotic culture broth or synbiotic culture supernatant. In both cases, synbiotics synergistically increased NO production in RAW 264.7 cells. In addition, synbiotics treatment increased the expression of tissue necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and inducible nitric oxide synthase genes. Synbiotics also increased the expression of P38, extracellular signal-regulated kinases, c-Jun N-terminal kinases, phosphoinositide 3-kinase, and Akt proteins. The results confirmed that the synbiotics prepared in this study exhibited synergistic immunostimulatory activity.

Shortening Fermentation Period and Quality Improvement of Fermented Fish, Chouguiyu, by Co-inoculation of Lactococcus lactis M10 and Weissella cibaria M3.

Project description:Chouguiyu, a Chinese traditional fermented fish, is famous for its uniquely strong odor and desirable taste. However, traditional spontaneous fermentation often resulted in contamination and unstable quality of products. In this study, individual or conjunctive inoculation of two indigenous lactic acid bacteria (LAB), Lactococcus lactis M10 and Weissella cibaria M3, was tested for their effect on improving Chouguiyu's quality. It was shown that inoculation would not affect the system's pH, while increased the total bacteria count and lactic acid bacteria amounts. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass (MALDI-TOF) analysis results revealed that Lactoc. lactis M10 and W. cibaria M3 could quickly occupy a dominant position in the ecosystem, and Lactoc. lactis M10 played an important role in the control of spoilage bacteria. Volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and biogenic amines results also showed that Lactoc. lactis M10 had a positive effect on improving the product's quality. Co-inoculation of Lactoc. lactis M10 and W. cibaria M3 could promote the formation of flavor according to the E-nose and gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) analyses, especially for the aroma-active and key volatile compounds. PCA plots of E-nose and hierarchical clustering analysis of GC-MS profiles revealed that the co-inoculation sample at the fifth day (LW5) was the most similar to the natural fermentation sample at the seventh day (C7). The overall acceptance of LW5 was also the closest to that of C7 in sensory evaluation. In conclusion, mixed starter culture was shown to have a good effect on improving product quality and enhancing flavor with fermentation time shortened by 29%.

Immunostimulatory activity of Lactococcus lactis LM1185 isolated from Hydrangea macrophylla.

Project description:The lactic acid bacteria, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis LM1185 was isolated from Hydrangea macrophylla. Strain LM1185 showed 50.5% of acid tolerance at pH 2.5 for 2 h and 30.4% of 0.3% (w/v) bile salt tolerance for 24 h. The antioxidant activity of this strain was measured at 99.4% of 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging activity. When RAW 264.7 macrophage cells were treated with strain LM1185, there was no observed cytotoxicity. This strain showed high nitric oxide production and mRNA expression levels of cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). The nuclear factor-kB signaling pathway was activated by this strain resulting in the production of iNOS and cyclooxygenase-2 determined by western blotting. The present results indicated that L. lactis subsp. lactis LM1185 could be used as potential probiotics and may play a crucial role in the immunostimulatory effect on macrophages.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10068-022-01199-5.

Differentiation between Weissella cibaria and Weissella confusa Using Machine-Learning-Combined MALDI-TOF MS.

Project description:Although Weissella cibaria and W. confusa are essential food-fermenting bacteria, they are also opportunistic pathogens. Despite these species being commercially crucial, their taxonomy is still based on inaccurate identification methods. In this study, we present a novel approach for identifying two important Weissella species, W. cibaria and W. confusa, by combining matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization and time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MALDI-TOF MS) data using machine-learning techniques. After on- and off-plate protein extraction, we observed that the BioTyper database misidentified or could not differentiate Weissella species. Although Weissella species exhibited very similar protein profiles, these species can be differentiated on the basis of the results of a statistical analysis. To classify W. cibaria, W. confusa, and non-target Weissella species, machine learning was used for 167 spectra, which led to the listing of potential species-specific mass-to-charge (m/z) loci. Machine-learning techniques including artificial neural networks, principal component analysis combined with the K-nearest neighbor, support vector machine (SVM), and random forest were used. The model that applied the Radial Basis Function kernel algorithm in SVM achieved classification accuracy of 1.0 for training and test sets. The combination of MALDI-TOF MS and machine learning can efficiently classify closely-related species, enabling accurate microbial identification.

Novel Podoviridae family bacteriophage infecting Weissella cibaria isolated from Kimchi.

Project description:The first complete genome sequence of a phage infecting Weissella cibaria (Weissella kimchii) is presented. The bacteriophage YS61 was isolated from kimchi, a Korean fermented vegetable dish. Bacteriophages are recognized as a serious problem in industrial fermentations; however, YS61 differed from many virulent phages associated with food fermentations since it was difficult to propagate and was very susceptible to resistance development. Sequence analysis revealed that YS61 resembles Podoviridae of the subfamily Picovirinae. Within the subfamily Picovirinae, the 29-like phages have been extensively studied, and their terminal protein-primed DNA replication is well characterized. Our data strongly suggest that YS61 also replicates by a protein-primed mechanism. Weissella phage YS61 is, however, markedly different from members of the Picovirinae with respect to genome size and morphology. Picovirinae are characterized by small (approximately 20-kb) genomes which contrasts with the 33,594-bp genome of YS61. Based on electron microscopy analysis, YS61 was classified as a member of the Podoviridae of morphotype C2, similar to the 29-like phages, but its capsid dimensions are significantly larger than those reported for these phages. The novelty of YS61 was also emphasized by the low number of open reading frames (ORFs) showing significant similarity to database sequences. We propose that the bacteriophage YS61 should represent a new subfamily within the family Podoviridae.
