Project description:Lactobacillus helveticus is a rod-shaped lactic acid bacterium that is widely used in the manufacture of fermented dairy foods and for production of bioactive peptides from milk proteins. Although L. helveticus is commonly associated with milk environments, phylogenetic studies show it is closely related to an intestinal species, Lactobacillus acidophilus, which has been shown to impart probiotic health benefits to humans. This relationship has fueled a prevailing hypothesis that L. helveticus is a highly specialized derivative of L. acidophilus which has adapted to acidified whey. However, L. helveticus has also been sporadically recovered from non-dairy environments, which argues the species may not be as highly specialized as is widely believed. This study employed genome sequence analysis and comparative genome hybridizations to investigate genomic diversity among L. helveticus strains collected from cheese, whey, and whiskey malt, as well as commercial cultures used in manufacture of cheese or bioactive dairy foods. Results revealed considerable variability in gene content between some L. helveticus strains, and indicated the species should not be viewed as a strict dairy-niche specialist. In addition, comparative genomic analyses provided new insight on several industrially and ecologically important attributes of L. helveticus that may facilitate commercial strain selection.

CNRZ32 was also hybridized and used as the reference sample. Data from the microarray was statistically analyzed using the R software. Samples were compared to the reference (CNRZ32) to investigate genome diversity amoung L. helveticus strains,

Project description:L. helveticus is used to modulate cheese flavor and as a starter organism in certain cheese varieties. Our group has compiled a draft (4x) sequence for the 2.4 Mb genome of an industrial strain L. helveticus CNRZ32. The primary aim was to investigate expression of 168 completely sequenced genes during growth in milk and MRS medium using microarrays. Oligonucleotide probes against each of the completely sequenced genes were compiled on maskless photolithography-based DNA microarrays. Additionally, the entire draft genome sequence was used to produce tiled microarrays where the non-interrupted sequence contigs were covered by consecutive 24-mer probes.

Project description:RNA-seq was used in combination with various analytical chemistry approaches to identify the chemical and genetic basis of pigment production of the bacterium Glutamicibacter arilaitensis when growing on cheese. This bacterium commonly found in cheese rinds where it co-occurs with Penicillium species and other molds. Pinkish-red pigments are produced by the bacterium in response to growth with Penicillium. Both chemical analyses and RNA-seq point to coproporphyrin III as the major metabolite leading to pigment formation.

Project description:Lactobacillus helveticus is a homofermentative lactic acid bacterium. It is widely used in the fabrication of Swiss cheese and other dairy products. The aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanism by which L. helveticus utilizes protein. L. helveticus CICC22171 were cultured in two different media with various nitrogen sources. The control contained 20 basic amino acids while the experimental medium contained casein. De novo transcriptome and iTRAQ proteome analyses were applied to determine how L. helveticus utilizes protein. The casein underwent extracellular hydrolysis via ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter upregulation and Mn2+-associated cell envelope proteinase (CEP) downregulation. Sigma factors and EF-Tu were upregulated and Mg2+ was reduced in bacteria to accommodate DNA transcription and protein translation in preparation for proteolysis. Hydrolase activity was upregulated to digest intracellular polypeptides and control endopeptidase genes. In these bacteria, casein utilization affected glycolysis, trehalose phosphotransferase system (PTS), and key factors associated with aerobic respiration and reduced glucose consumption.
