ABSTRACT Genomes of 21 strains of lactic acid bacteria isolated from Slovakian traditional cheeses were sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq platform. Subsequently, they were analysed regarding taxonomic classification, presence of genes encoding defence systems, antibiotic resistance and production of biogenic amines. Thirteen strains were found to carry genes encoding at least one bacteriocin, 18 carried genes encoding at least one restriction–modification system, all strains carried 1–6 prophages and 9 strains had CRISPR-Cas systems. CRISPR-Cas type II-A was the most common, containing 0–24 spacers. Only 10% spacers were found to be homological to known bacteriophage or plasmid sequences in databases. Two Enterococcus faecium strains and a Lactococcus lactis strain carried antibiotic resistance genes. Genes encoding for ornithine decarboxylase were detected in four strains and genes encoding for agmatine deiminase were detected in four strains. Lactobacillus paraplantarum 251 L appeared to be the most interesting strain, as it contained genes encoding for two bacteriocins, a restriction–modification system, two CRISPR-Cas systems, four prophages and no genes connected with antibiotic resistance or production of biogenic amines.

Texto completoResumen
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a common kind of lactic acid bacteria usually found in the human gastrointestinal tract, oral cavity, vagina, and various fermented foods. At present, many studies have focused on the probiotic function and industrial application of L. acidophilus. Additionally, dozens of L. acidophilus strains have been genome sequenced, but there has been no research to compare them at the genomic level. In this study, 46 strains of L. acidophilus were performed comparative analyses to explore their genetic diversity. The results showed that all the L. acidophilus strains were divided into two clusters based on ANI values, phylogenetic analysis and whole genome comparison, due to the difference of their predicted gene composition of bacteriocin operon, CRISPR-Cas systems and prophages mainly. Additionally, L. acidophilus was a pan-genome open species with a difference in carbohydrates utilization, antibiotic resistance, EPS operon, surface layer protein operon and other functional gene composition. This work provides a better understanding of L. acidophilus from a genetic perspective, and offers a frame for the biotechnological potentiality of this species.

Powdered infant formulas (PIF) are the most used dietary substitutes that are used in order to supplement breastfeeding. However, PIF are not sterile and can be contaminated with different microorganisms. The objective of this study was to genomically characterize Enterobacteriaceae (ENT) and Enterococcus strains that were isolated from PIF. Strains were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Genomic typing, detection of virulence, and resistance profiles and genes were performed with the Ridom SeqSphere+ software; the comprehensive antibiotic resistance database (CARD) platform; ResFinder and PlasmidFinder tools; and by the disk diffusion method. Nineteen isolates from PIF were analyzed, including ENT such as Kosakonia cowanii, Enterobacter hormaechei, Franconibacter helveticus, Mixta calida, and lactic acid bacteria such as Enterococcus faecium. The strains exhibited resistance to beta-lactams, cephalosporins, and macrolides. Resistance genes such as AcrAB-TolC, marA, msbA, knpEF, oqxAB, fosA, blaACT-7, blaACT-14, qacJ, oqxAB, aac(6’)-Ii, and msr(C); and virulence genes such as astA, cheB, cheR, ompA ompX, terC, ironA, acm, and efaAfm, adem were also detected. All the analyzed strains possessed genes that produced heat-shock proteins, such as IbpA and ClpL. In PIF, the presence of ENT and Enterococcus that are multiresistant to antibiotics—together with resistance and virulence genes—pose a health risk for infants consuming these food products.

"In Silico Evidence of the Multifunctional Features of Lactiplantibacillus pentosus LPG1, a Natural Fermenting Agent Isolated from Table Olive Biofilms".

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in obtaining probiotic bacteria from plant origins. This is the case of Lactiplantibacillus pentosus LPG1, a lactic acid bacterial strain isolated from table olive biofilms with proven multifunctional features. In this work, we have sequenced and closed the complete genome of L. pentosus LPG1 using both Illumina and PacBio technologies. Our intention is to carry out a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis and whole-genome annotation for a further complete evaluation of the safety and functionality of this microorganism. The chromosomic genome had a size of 3,619,252 bp, with a GC (Guanine-Citosine) content of 46.34%. L. pentosus LPG1 also had two plasmids, designated as pl1LPG1 and pl2LPG1, with lengths of 72,578 and 8713 bp (base pair), respectively. Genome annotation revealed that the sequenced genome consisted of 3345 coding genes and 89 non-coding sequences (73 tRNA and 16 rRNA genes). Taxonomy was confirmed by Average Nucleotide Identity analysis, which grouped L. pentosus LPG1 with other sequenced L. pentosus genomes. Moreover, the pan-genome analysis showed that L. pentosus LPG1 was closely related to the L. pentosus strains IG8, IG9, IG11, and IG12, all of which were isolated from table olive biofilms. Resistome analysis reported the absence of antibiotic resistance genes, whilst PathogenFinder tool classified the strain as a non-human pathogen. Finally, in silico analysis of L. pentosus LPG1 showed that many of its previously reported technological and probiotic phenotypes corresponded with the presence of functional genes. In light of these results, we can conclude that L. pentosus LPG1 is a safe microorganism and a potential human probiotic with a plant origin and application as a starter culture for vegetable fermentations.

ABSTRACT We describe the first functional insertion sequence (IS) element in Lactobacillus plantarum. ISLpl1, an IS30-related element, was found on the pLp3 plasmid in strain FB335. By selection of spontaneous mutants able to grow in the presence of uracil, it was demonstrated that the IS had transposed into the uracil phosphoribosyltransferase-encoding gene upp on the FB335 chromosome. The plasmid-carried IS element was also sequenced, and a second potential IS element was found: ISLpl2, an IS150-related element adjacent to ISLpl1. When Southern hybridization was used, the copy number and genome (plasmid versus chromosome) distribution data revealed different numbers and patterns of ISLpl1-related sequences in different L. plantarum strains as well as in Pediococcus strains. The ISLpl1 pattern changed over many generations of the strain L. plantarum NCIMB 1406. This finding strongly supports our hypothesis that ISLpl1 is a mobile element in L. plantarum. Database analysis revealed five quasi-identical ISLpl1 elements in Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, and Oenococcus strains. Three of these elements may be cryptic IS, since point mutations or 1-nucleotide deletions were found in their transposase-encoding genes. In some cases, ISLpl1 was linked to genes involved in cold shock adaptation, bacteriocin production, sugar utilization, or antibiotic resistance. ISLpl1 is transferred among lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and may play a role in LAB genome plasticity and adaptation to their environment.

Texto completoResumen
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have gained particular attention among different exopolysaccharide-producing microorganisms due to their safety status and effects on human health and food production. Exopolysaccharide-producing LAB play a crucial role in different ways, such as improving texture, mouthfeel, controlling viscosity, and for low-calorie food production. In this study, we isolated a multifunctional strain with good exopolysaccharide production properties. Limosilactobacillus fermentum ING8 was isolated from an Indian traditional fermented milk (Dahi) and evaluated for its safety, enzymatic activity, NaCl resistance and temperature tolerance, milk coagulation, and storage stability. Finally, the complete genome of this strain was sequenced and subjected to safety in silico evaluation and genomic analysis. The results revealed that L. fermentum ING8 possesses relevant technological properties, such as exopolysaccharide production, antimicrobial activity, and galactose utilization. Besides, this strain showed very high stability to storage conditions at refrigeration temperature. In addition, the genomic analysis did not evidence any possible deleterious elements, such as acquired antibiotic resistance genes, virulence genes, or hemolysis-related genes. However, all structural genes related to the galactose operon and EPS production were detected. Therefore, L. fermentum ING8 can be considered a promising multifunctional bacterium to be proposed as non-starter in different types of dairy productions.

Texto completoResumen
With the aim of developing a new food starter culture, twenty-three psychrotrophic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from 16 kimchi samples. One strain, Leuconostoc gelidum subsp. aenigmaticum LS4, which had typical psychrotrophic characteristics, was selected, and its phenotypic and genomic properties as a starter culture were investigated. The complete genome of L. aenigmaticum LS4 consisted of one circular chromosome (1,988,425 bp) and two plasmids (19,308 bp and 11,283 bp), with a guanine–cytosine content of 36.8%. L. aenigmaticum LS4 could grow at 5 °C but not at 37 °C, and maximum cell growth was obtained at 15~25 °C. L. aenigmaticum LS4 did not show any harmful characteristics such as hemolysis, undesirable enzyme activities, biogenic amine production, or antibiotic resistance. L. aenigmaticum LS4 was investigated for its suitability for technological processes (pH, temperature and NaCl treatment). L. aenigmaticum LS4 exhibited strong antimicrobial activity caused by the production of organic acids and bacteriocin, and it produced an exopolysaccharide composed of glucose with a molecular weight of 3.7 × 106 Da. Furthermore, L. aenigmaticum LS4 improved the organoleptic qualities of kimchi juice. Our results indicate that L. aenigmaticum LS4 could be used as a functional starter culture for food (vegetable or fruit) fermentation at low temperatures.

Texto completoResumen
Lactic acid bacteria have received a significant amount of attention due to their probiotic characteristics. The species Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lactiplantibacillus pentosus are genotypically closely related, and their phenotypes are so similar that they are easily confused and mistaken. In the previous study, an ethanol-resistant strain, LTJ12, isolated from the fermented grains of soy sauce aroma type baijiu in North China, was originally identified as L. plantarum through a 16S rRNA sequence analysis. Here, the genome of strain LTJ12 was further sequenced using PacBio and Illumina sequencing technology to obtain a better understanding of the metabolic pathway underlying its resistance to ethanol stress. The results showed that the genome of strain LTJ12 was composed of one circular chromosome and three circular plasmids. The genome size is 3,512,307 bp with a GC content of 46.37%, and the number of predicted coding genes is 3248. Moreover, by comparing the coding genes with the GO (Gene Ontology), COG (Cluster of Orthologous Groups) and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) databases, the functional annotation of the genome and an assessment of the metabolic pathways were performed, with the results showing that strain LTJ12 has multiple genes that may be related to alcohol metabolism and probiotic-related genes. Antibiotic resistance gene analysis showed that there were few potential safety hazards. Further, after conducting the comparative genomics analysis, it was found that strain LTJ12 is L. pentosus but not L. plantarum, but it has more functional genes than other L. pentosus strains that are mainly related to carbohydrate transport and metabolism, transcription, replication, recombination and repair, signal transduction mechanisms, defense mechanisms and cell wall/membrane/envelope biogenesis. These unique functional genes, such as gene 2754 (encodes alcohol dehydrogenase), gene 3093 (encodes gamma-D-glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelate peptidase) and some others may enhance the ethanol tolerance and alcohol metabolism of the strain. Taken together, L. pentosus LTJ12 might be a potentially safe probiotic with a high ethanol tolerance and alcohol metabolism. The findings of this study will also shed light on the accurate identification and rational application of the Lactiplantibacillus species.

"Heat Shock Treatment Increases the Frequency of Loss of an Erythromycin Resistance-Encoding Transposable Element from the Chromosome of Lactobacillus crispatus CHCC3692". Applied and Environmental Microbiology 69, n.º 12 (diciembre de 2003): 7173–80. http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/aem.69.12.7173-7180.2003.
Texto completoResumen
ABSTRACT A 3,165-bp chromosomally integrated transposon, designatedTn3692, of the gram-positive strain Lactobacillus crispatus CHCC3692 contains an erm(B) gene conferring resistance to erythromycin at concentrations of up to 250μ g/ml. Loss of this resistance can occur spontaneously, but the rate is substantially increased by heat shock treatment. Heat shock treatment at 60°C resulted in an almost 40-fold increase in the frequency of erythromycin-sensitive cells (erythromycin MIC, 0.047μ g/ml). The phenotypic change was followed by a dramatic increase in transcription of the transposase gene and the concomitant loss of an approximately 2-kb DNA fragment carrying the erm(B) gene from the 3,165-bp erm transposon. In cells that were not subjected to heat shock, transcription of the transposase gene was not detectable. The upstream sequence of the transposase gene did not show any homology to known heat shock promoters in the gene data bank. Significant homology (>99%) was observed between the erythromycin resistance-encoding gene from L. crispatus CHCC3692 and the erm(B) genes from other gram-positive bacteria, such as Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Enterococcus faecium, and Lactobacillus reuteri, which strongly indicates a common origin of the erm(B) gene for these species. The transposed DNA element was not translocated to other parts of the genome of CHCC3692, as determining by Southern blotting, PCR analysis, and DNA sequencing. No other major aberrations were observed, as judged by colony morphology, growth performance of the strain, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. These observations suggest that heat shock treatment could be used as a tool for the removal of unwanted antibiotic resistance genes harbored in transposons flanked by insertion sequence elements or transposases in lactic acid bacteria used for animal and human food production.

Texto completoResumen
Leuconostoc spp. are environmental microorganisms commonly associated with fermented foods. Absence of antibiotic resistance (AR) in bacteria is a critical issue for global food safety. Herein, we updated the occurrence of AR genes in the Leuconostoc genus through in silico analyses of the genomes of 17 type strains. A total of 131 putative AR traits associated with the main clinically relevant antibiotics were detected. We found, for the first time, the lsaA gene in L. fallax ATCC 700006T and L. pseudomesenteroides NCDO 768T. Their amino acid sequences displayed high similarities (59.07% and 52.21%) with LsaA of Enterococcusfaecalis V583, involved in clindamycin (CLI) and quinupristin-dalfopristin (QUD) resistance. This trait has different distribution patterns in Leuconostoc nontype strains—i.e., L. pseudomesenteroides, L. lactis and L. falkenbergense isolates from fermented vegetables, cheeses, and starters. To better explore the role of lsaA, MIC for CLI and QUD were assessed in ATCC 700006T and NCDO 768T; both strains were resistant towards CLI, potentially linking lsaA to their resistant phenotype. Contrarily, NCDO 768T was sensitive towards QUD; however, expression of lsaA increased in presence of this antibiotic, indicating an active involvement of this trait and thus suggesting a revision of the QUD thresholds for this species.
