The genes for phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus constitute an operon.

ABSTRACT: In Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, the pyk gene coding for pyruvate kinase and the pfk gene coding for phosphofructokinase formed a bicistronic operon transcribed into a 2.9-kb RNA. The nucleotide sequence of the pyk gene indicated that the encoded protein possessed an extra C-terminal domain with a potential phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent autophosphorylation site.

Electrotransformation of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis with various plasmids.

Project description:We describe, for the first time, a detailed electroporation procedure for Lactobacillus delbrueckii. Three L. delbrueckii strains were successfully transformed. Under optimal conditions, the transformation efficiency was 10(4) transformants per microg of DNA. Using this procedure, we identified several plasmids able to replicate in L. delbrueckii and integrated an integrative vector based on phage integrative elements into the L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus chromosome. These vectors provide a good basis for developing molecular tools for L. delbrueckii and open the field of genetic studies in L. delbrueckii.

Molecular characterization of three Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus phages.

Project description:In this study, three phages infecting Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, named Ld3, Ld17, and Ld25A, were isolated from whey samples obtained from various industrial fermentations. These phages were further characterized in a multifaceted approach: (i) biological and physical characterization through host range analysis and electron microscopy; (ii) genetic assessment through genome analysis; (iii) mass spectrometry analysis of the structural components of the phages; and (iv), for one phage, transcriptional analysis by Northern hybridization, reverse transcription-PCR, and primer extension. The three obtained phage genomes display high levels of sequence identity to each other and to genomes of the so-called group b L. delbrueckii phages c5, LL-Ku, and phiLdb, where some of the observed differences are believed to be responsible for host range variations.

Two-dimensional electrophoresis study of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus thermotolerance.

Project description:The response of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus cells to heat stress was studied by use of a chemically defined medium. Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) analysis was used to correlate the kinetics of heat shock protein (HSP) induction with cell recovery from heat injury. We demonstrated that enhanced viability, observed after 10 min at 65 degrees C, resulted from the overexpression of HSP and from mechanisms not linked to protein synthesis. In order to analyze the thermoadaptation mechanisms involved, thermoresistant variants were selected. These variants showed enhanced constitutive tolerance toward heat shock. However, contrary to the wild-type strain, these variants were poorly protected after osmotic or heat pretreatments. This result suggests that above a certain threshold, cells reach a maximum level of protection that cannot be easily exceeded. A comparison of protein patterns showed that the variants were able to induce more rapidly their adaptive mechanisms than the original strain. In particular, the variants were able to express constitutively more HSP, leading to the higher level of thermoprotection observed. This is the first report of the study by 2-DE of the heat stress response in L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus.

Use of PCR-based methods for rapid differentiation of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis.

Project description:Two PCR-based methods, specific PCR and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA PCR (RAPD-PCR), were used for rapid and reliable differentiation of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis. PCR with a single combination of primers which targeted the proline iminopeptidase (pepIP) gene of L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus allowed amplification of genomic fragments specific for the two subspecies when either DNA from a single colony or cells extracted from dairy products were used. A numerical analysis of the RAPD-PCR patterns obtained with primer M13 gave results that were consistent with the results of specific PCR for all strains except L. delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii LMG 6412(T), which clustered with L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis strains. In addition, RAPD-PCR performed with primer 1254 provided highly polymorphic profiles and thus was superior for distinguishing individual L. delbrueckii strains.

Homodimeric ?-galactosidase from Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus DSM 20081: expression in Lactobacillus plantarum and biochemical characterization.

Project description:The lacZ gene from Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus DSM 20081, encoding a ?-galactosidase of the glycoside hydrolase family GH2, was cloned into different inducible lactobacillal expression vectors for overexpression in the host strain Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1. High expression levels were obtained in laboratory cultivations with yields of approximately 53000 U of ?-galactosidase activity per liter of medium, which corresponds to ~170 mg of recombinant protein per liter and ?-galactosidase levels amounting to 63% of the total intracellular protein of the host organism. The wild-type (nontagged) and histidine-tagged recombinant enzymes were purified to electrophoretic homogeneity and further characterized. ?-Galactosidase from L. bulgaricus was used for lactose conversion and showed very high transgalactosylation activity. The maximum yield of galacto-oligosaccharides (GalOS) was approximately 50% when using an initial concentration of 600 mM lactose, indicating that the enzyme can be of interest for the production of GalOS.

Cloning of D-lactate dehydrogenase genes of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and their roles in D-lactic acid production.

Project description:Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus is a heterogenous lactic acid bacterium that converts pyruvate mainly to D-lactic acid using D-lactate dehydrogenases (D-LDHs), whose functional properties remain poorly characterized. Here, the D-LDHs genes (ldb0101, ldb0813, ldb1010, ldb1147 and ldb2021) were cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli JM109 from an inducible pUC18 vector, respectively, and the resulting strains were compared in terms of D-lactic acid production. The strain expressing ldb0101 and ldb1010 gene individually produced more D-lactate than other three strains. Further study revealed that Ldb0101 activity was down-regulated by the oxygen and, therefore, achieved a highest titer of D-lactate (1.94 g/L) under anaerobic condition, and introduction of ldb1010 gene enhanced D-lactate formation (0.94 and 0.85 g/L, respectively) both in aerobic and anaerobic conditions due to a relatively stable q d-lactate. Our results suggested that the enzyme Ldb0101 and Ldb1010 played a role of more importance in D-lactate formation. To the best of our knowledge, we demonstrate for the first time the roles of different D-LDH homologs from L. bulgaricus in D-lactic acid production.

Volatile Flavor Compounds Profile and Fermentation Characteristics of Milk Fermented by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus.

Project description:Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus is one of the predominant lactic acid bacterial species used as starter cultures in industrial fermented dairy manufacturing, as it strongly affects the quality of the products. Volatile flavor compound profiles and fermentation characteristics are considered to be the most important indicators for starter culture screening. In the present study, volatile compounds in milk fermented by 17 test strains of L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and a commercial strain used as a control were identified using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) methods coupled with gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In total, 86 volatile flavor compounds were identified in the fermented milk upon completion of fermentation, including 17 carboxylic acids, 14 aldehydes, 13 ketones, 29 alcohols, 8 esters, and 5 aromatic hydrocarbon compounds. Various volatile flavor compounds (acetaldehyde, 3-methyl-butanal, (E)-2-pentenal, hexanal, (E)-2-octenal, nonanal, 2,3-butanedione, acetoin, 2-heptanone, 2-non-anone, formic acid ethenyl ester) were identified due to their higher odor activity values (>1). In addition, of the 17 test strains of L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, IMAU20312 (B14) and IMAU62081 (B16) strains exhibited good fermentation characteristics in milk compared with the control strain. The combination of the volatile flavor compound profile and fermentation characteristics in this work could be useful when selecting lactic acid bacteria that may serve as important resources in the development of novel fermented milk products.
