Project description:The intra sub-species diversity of six strains of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis was investigated at the genomic level and in terms of phenotypic and transcriptomic profiles in UF-cheese model. Six strains were isolated from various sources, but all are exhibiting a dairy phenotype. Our results showed that, the six strains exhibited small phenotypic differences since similar behaviour in terms of growth was obtained during cheese ripening while only different acidification capability was detected. Even if all strains displayed high genomic similarities, sharing a high core genome of almost two thousands genes, the expression of this core genome directly in the cheese matrix revealed major strain-specific differences. This strains with the same dairy origin.

This strains with the same dairy origin. Strains were cultured on M17. At least three independent cultures of the six strains were performed. Genomic DNA was extracted from cells grown overnight on M17 and radiolabelled cDNA were prepared and hybridized on nylon arrays. 1948 amplicons specific of Lactococcus lactis IL1403 genes were spotted twice on the array. 3 independent repetitions were performed.

This strains with the same dairy origin. Strains were cultured on skimmed raw milk ultrafiltration (UF) retentate. The UF retentate was pre-incubated overnight at 4 °C, then 45 minutes at 50 °C and homogenized during 1.5 minutes at 24 000 rpm with an ultra-turax (Imlab, France). After addition of rennet (0.3 µl ml-1), 400 g UF retentate was inoculated at 2 106 CFU/g with L. lactis subsp. lactis strains. After incubation for 8 hours at 30 °C, the cheeses were transferred at 12° C until 7 days for ripening simulation. At least three independent cultures of the six strains were performed. Total RNA was extracted from cells grown 24 hours in UF-cheese and radiolabelled cDNA were prepared and hybridized on nylon arrays. 1948 amplicons specific of Lactococcus lactis IL1403 genes were spotted twice on the array. 3 independent repetitions were performed.
Project description:This study aimed to obtain Lactococcus lactis strains with high vitamin K2 content via a non-GM approach, i.e., adaptive laboratory evolution, and to characterize the evolved strains.

Project description:Pangenome arrays contain DNA oligomers targeting several sequenced reference genomes from the same species. In microbiology these can be employed to investigate the often high genetic variability within a species by comparative genome hybridization (CGH). The biological interpretation of pangenome CGH data depends on the ability to compare strains at a functional level, particularly by comparing the presence or absence of orthologous genes. Due to the high genetic variability, available genotype-calling algorithms can not be applied to pangenome CGH data. Therefore, we have developed the algorithm PanCGH that incorporates orthology information about genes to predict the presence or absence of orthologous genes in a query organism using CGH arrays that target the genomes of sequenced representatives of a group of microorganisms. PanCGH was tested and applied in the analysis of genetic diversity among 39 Lactococcus lactis strains from three different subspecies (lactis, cremoris, hordniae) and isolated from two different niches (dairy and plant). Clustering of these strains using the presence/absence data of gene orthologs revealed a clear separation between different subspecies and reflected the niche of the strains.

Project description:Lactococcus lactis NZ9000 and its parent MG1363 are the most commonly used lactic acid bacteria for expression and physiological studies. We noted unexpected but significant differences in the growth behaviors of both strains. We sequenced the entire genomes of the original NZ9000 and MG1363 strains using an ultradeep sequencing strategy. The analysis of the L. lactis NZ9000 genome yielded 79 differences, mostly point mutations, with the annotated genome sequence of L. lactis MG1363. Resequencing of the MG1363 strain revealed that 73 out of the 79 differences were due to errors in the published sequence. Comparative transcriptomic studies revealed several differences in the regulation of genes involved in sugar fermentation, which can be explained by two specific mutations in a region of the ptcC promoter with a key role in the regulation of cellobiose and glucose uptake.
