Objetivou-se no presente estudo isolar, caracterizar bactérias acido lácticas com potencial probiótico e imobilizar em grãos de soja, a fim de manter sua viabilidade durante o armazenamento. Foram realizados testes para isolamento e caracterização (coloração de Gram, presença de catalase, propriedades tecnológicas, fermentação de carboidratos) dos isolados a partir de silagem de colostro bovino; avaliação dos parâmetros de segurança microbiológica (atividade das enzimas, hemolisina, DNase e gelatinase, susceptibilidade a antimicrobianos de uso clínico e perfil plasmidial), avaliação do potencial probiótico (simulação da tolerância ao trânsito gastrointestinal, capacidade de auto-agregação, co-agregação, hidrofobicidade, atividade da enzima β galactosidase e atividade antagonista), avaliação da produção de exopolissacarídeos, identificação molecular, imobilização celular utilizando como suporte grãos de soja e microscopia eletrônica de varredura do biocatalizador. Dos isolados caracterizados como bactérias ácido lácticas, seis foram eleitos em testes preliminares (potencial tecnológico, resistência a diferentes concentrações de bile e fermentação de açúcares), três apresentaram-se seguros microbiológicamente e um caracterizou-se como potencialmente probiótico. A bactéria selecionada para imobilização, SCL3, pertencente ao gênero Lactobacillus da espécie casei, produtora de exopolissacarídeo, passou por processo fermentativo que permitiu a adsorção de células na superfície dos grãos de soja. A imobilização possibilitou a viabilidade das células em concentração de 6,23 log UFC.g -1 e 6,71 log UFC.g -1 até o final do 300 dia de armazenamento após secagem (liofilização) e em refrigeração, respectivamente. A microscopia eletrônica de varredura permitiu a visualização das células aderidas a superfície dos grãos de soja. / Lactic acid bacteria, with probiotic potential, are considered of great interest for the functional food market, which are expanding due to the contribution of these foods to the health of individuals. The objective of this study was to isolate, characterize lactic acid bacteria with probiotic potential and immobilize them in soybean grains, in order to maintain their viability during storage. Isolation and characterization tests (Gram staining, presence of catalase, technological properties, carbohydrate fermentation) of the isolates were carried out from bovine colostrum silage; Evaluation of microbiological safety parameters (enzyme activity, hemolysin, DNase and gelatinase, susceptibility to antimicrobials of clinical use and plasmid profile), evaluation of probiotic potential (simulation of gastrointestinal transit tolerance, selfaggregation capacity, co-aggregation, Hydrophobicity, β-galactosidase enzyme activity and antagonist activity), evaluation of exopolysaccharide production, molecular identification, cellular immobilization using as support soybean grains and scanning electron microscopy of the biocatalyst. Of the isolates characterized as lactic acid bacteria, six were selected in preliminary tests (technological potential, resistance to different concentrations of bile and fermentation of sugars), three were microbiologically safe and one was characterized as potentially probiotic. The bacterium selected for immobilization, SCL3, belonging to the genus Lactobacillus of the casei species, exopolysaccharide producer, undergoes a fermentative process that allowed the adsorption of cells on the surface of the soybean grains. The immobilization made possible the viability of the cells at a concentration of 6.23 log CFU.g-1 and 6.71 log CFU.g-1 until the end of the 300 day of storage after drying (lyophilization) and in refrigeration, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy allowed the cells to adhere to the surface of the soybean grains.

Species belonging to the genera Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus predominate in the gastrointestinal microbiota and are widely used in functional foods. In general, a selection of new probiotic strains for use in humans has as its source a human intestinal flora and breast milk. Thus, the objective of this study was to isolate and identify new species with potential probiotic from samples of breast milk and feces of infants exclusively breastfed, in addition to evaluating their probiotic potential. Samples of breast milk from two different lactation periods (colostrum and transitional milk) and samples of fecal material from infants were used. Isolation was used using MRSC and for Beerens for Lactic-Acid Bacteria and Bifidobacterium spp. respectively. Probiotic potential was assessed by physical pH and bile salt tolerance tests. Verified its ability to adhere to mucin and human intestinal cells (HT-29) and inhibit adhesion of different diarrheogenic strains of E. coli. The identification of the promising isolates was performed through the 16S rDNA region. Five isolates had acid-bile resistance, with CLM0109 insulation having 90.2% and 64.6% resistance, pH 3.0 and pH 2.0, respectively. These isolates have an ability to adhere to mucin and HT-29 cells, the isolate FEB0308 showed the highest level of adherence to HT-29 cells. The adhesion assay demonstrated that all isolates were absorbed by adhesion of diarrheogenic E. coli (DECs). Antimicrobial susceptibility analysis showed that 3 isolates showed resistance to one or two antibiotics (kanamycin and streptomycin). The molecular analysis allowed identifying the isolates as belonging to the species Lactobacillus casei. The results show that the five isolates present probiotic potential especially for use in the prevention and treatment of infections caused by DEC and demonstrate that milk and stool samples from infants can act as a source of potential probiotic bacteria. / O uso de alimentos contendo bactérias probióticas foi recentemente considerado uma possibilidade de prevenção contra a instalação ou atenuação de diversos processos infecciosos. Espécies pertencentes aos gêneros Bifidobacterium e Lactobacillus predominam na microbiota gastrintestinal humana e são amplamente utilizadas em alimentos funcionais. Em geral, a seleção de novas cepas probióticas para uso em humanos, tem como fonte a microbiota intestinal humana e o leite materno. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi isolar e identificar novas estirpes com potencial probiótico a partir de fezes de lactentes amamentados exclusivamente com leite materno, além de avaliar seu potencial probiótico. Foram utilizadas amostras de material fecal de bebes alimentados exclusivamente com leite materno. O isolamento foi realizado utilizando-se ágar MRSC e ágar Beerens para bactérias ácido-lácticas (BAL) e Bifidobacterium spp. respectivamente. O potencial probiótico foi avaliado pelos testes de tolerância ao pH gástrico e sais biliares. Além disso, foi verificado sua capacidade de aderir à mucina e as células intestinais humanas (HT-29), bem como a capacidade de inibir adesão de distintas linhagens diarreiogênicas de E. coli além de sensibilidade a antimicrobianos. A identificação dos isolados promissores foi realizada através da região 16S rDNA. Cinco isolados apresentaram resistência ácido-biliar, com destaque para o isolado CLM0109 que apresentou 90.2% e 64.6% de resistência a pH 3.0 e pH 2.0 respectivamente. Estes isolados tiveram a capacidade de aderir à mucina e células HT-29, o isolado FEB0308 apresentou o maior nível de aderência a células HT-29. O ensaio de inibição da adesão demonstrou que todos os isolados foram capazes de inibir adesão de E. coli diarreiogênicas (DECs). Além disso, a análise de sensibilidade a antimicrobianos demonstrou que 3 isolados apresentaram resistência a um ou dois antibióticos (canamicina e estreptomicina). A análise molecular identificou os isolados como Lactobacillus casei. Concluímos que os cinco isolados apresentam potencial probiótico especialmente para uso na prevenção e tratamento de infecções causadas por DEC e demonstra que as amostras fecais de lactentes alimentados exclusivamente com leite materno, podem funcionar como fonte de bactérias com potencial probiótico.

Strategies for Increased Lactic Acid Production from Algal Cake Fermentations at Low pH by Lactobacillus casei

Overbeck, Tom J. 01 May 2017 (has links)
We explored using de-oiled algal biomass (algal cake) as a low-value substrate for production of lactic acid in fermentations with Lactobacillus casei, and strategies for increasing lactic acid production at low pH. L. casei 12A algal cake (AC) fermentations showed carbohydrate and amino acid availability limit growth and lactic acid production. These nutritional requirements were effectively addressed with enzymatic hydrolysis of the AC using α-amylase, cellulase, and pepsin. Producing 0.075 g lactic acid per g AC from AC digested with all three enzymes. We explored heterologous expression of the cellulase gene (celE) from Clostridium thermocellum and the α-amylase gene (amyA) from Streptococcus bovis in L. casei 12A. Functional activity of CelE was not detected, but low-level activity of AmyA was achieved, and increased > 1.5-fold using a previously designed synthetic promoter. Nonetheless, the improvement was insufficient to significantly increase lactic acid production. Thus, substantial optimization of amyA and celE expression in L. casei 12A would be needed to achieve activities needed to increase lactic acid production from AC. We explored transient inactivation of MutS as a method for inducing hypermutability and increasing adaptability of L. casei 12A and ATCC 334 to lactic acid at low pH. The wild type cells and their ΔmutS derivatives were subject to a 100-day adaptive evolution experiment, followed by repair of the ΔmutS lesion in representative isolates. Growth studies at pH 4.0 revealed that all four adapted strains grew more rapidly, to higher cell densities, and produced significantly more lactic acid than untreated wild-type cells. The greatest increases were observed from the adapted ΔmutS derivatives. Further examination of the 12A adapted ΔmutS derivative identified morphological changes, and increased survival at pH 2.5. Genome sequence analysis confirmed transient MutS inactivation decreased DNA replication fidelity, and identified potential genotypic changes in 12A that might contribute to increased acid lactic acid resistance. Targeted inactivation of three genes identified in the adapted 12A ΔmutS derivative revealed that a NADH dehydrogenase (ndh), phosphate transport ATP-binding protein PstB (pstB), and two-component signal transduction system (TCS) quorum-sensing histidine kinase (hpk) contribute to increased acid resistance in 12A.

The effect of two Lactobacillus strains and an acidophilic fungus on production and immune responses of broiler chickens /

Huang, Ming-Kuei, 1969- January 2003 (has links)
Three potential probiotics, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei and the fungus Scytalidium acidophilum were prepared in different ways. They were evaluated for their effects on performance and immune responses in broiler chickens in two 6-week trials. In the first trial, probiotics were orally administered at the ages of day 1 and day 8. There were no differences between live and disrupted cells. However, cobalt-containing cells had improved effects numerously in comparison with non cobalt-containing cells. As a result, these three disrupted probiotics, each in two different concentrations, were sprayed onto a mash basal feed before pelleting in the second trial. Improved feed intake (up to 6%) and body weight gain (up to 7%) were observed in all probiotic treatments. The anti-KLH IgA and IgG titers of probiotic-treated chickens were not significantly different from the negative controls in both trials. In summary, disrupted and cobalt-containing probiotics were proved to enhance the performance of broiler chickens and are promising for commercial application. In addition, a new fungal mycelium, Scytalidium acidophilum, was suggested to be a good probiotic to improve the growth of broilers.

Fermentação com Lactobacillus casei subsp. casei ATCC 393 pode ser uma alternativa para redução do sabor amargo da carne escura de atum. As amostras da carne foram preparadas e embaladas à vácuo e congeladas a -18ºC. A carne escura congelada foi utilizada imediatamente após o descongelamento. O experimento foi realizado com níveis de 2 e 4% de NaCl com adição de 2 e 4% de glicose respectivamente. A carne escura de atum foi inoculada com 108 UFC g-1 de Lactobacillus casei subsp. casei e fermentada a 10ºC por 30 dias. O processo de fermentação foi monitorado através de análises bacteriológicas e químicas, onde observou-se a elevação da acidez e correspondente decréscimo do pH, em função da predominância da bactéria lática (BL). A análise sensorial, utilizando teste de comparação múltipla, foi realizada com patês de carne escura de atum fermentada, que apresentou diferença significativa quando comparada com o patê controle, indicando redução do sabor amargo.

Seu sabor é suave, levemente adocicado e sua cor é amarelo-ouro. A associação da gordura com doenças coronárias e obesidade e a progressiva preocupação dos consumidores com a dieta e saúde tem desencadeado uma alta demanda por produtos com baixo teor de gordura, incluindo o queijo. Queijos manufaturados a partir de leites desnatados ou semi-desnatados são caracterizados por apresentarem determinados defeitos não observados nos seus correspondentes feitos com teor integral de gordura. A redução no conteúdo de gordura tem um efeito negativo sobre as características sensoriais do queijo, além das conseqüências econômicas negativas tanto no rendimento dos queijos com baixo conteúdo de gordura como em sua maturação. Neste trabalho estudou-se o efeito do uso de cultura adjunta (Lactobacillus casei) nas características físico-químicas e na evolução da maturação de queijo Prato com reduzido teor de gordura. Foram realizados 4 tratamentos: sendo um pelo método tradicional, utilizando como cultura lática apenas Lactococcus lactis subsp lactis e Lactococcus lactis subsp cremoris (tratamento A, controle) e três pelo método modificado, que além dos microrganismos citados acima foram acrescidos de cultura adjunta nas seguintes proporções 20% (tratamento B), 30% (tratamento C) e 40% (tratamento D). O leite utilizado na manufatura dos queijos foi submetido as seguintes análises: acidez, densidade, extrato seco total, crioscopia, gordura e presença de antibióticos. / Prato cheese is a fatty cheese, of medium humidity, semi-cooked mass, semi-hard consistency, homogenous texture, with little or no round eyes. Its taste is mild, lightly sweetened and has yellow color. The association of fat with heart diseases and obesity and the advancing concern of consumers with their diet and health has led to a high demand for low fat products, including cheeses. Cheeses with reduced fat content are characterized by exhibiting some defects not seen in the ones made with whole ingredients. Reduction on fat content has a negative effect on sensory characteristics of the cheese and also negative economical consequences on cheese yield as much as on ripening. In this work, the effect of the use of Lactobacillus casei, an adjunct culture on technological quality of Prato cheese made with reduced fat content was studied. Four treatments were carried out: one by the traditional method using only Lactococcus lactis subsp lactis and Lactococcus lactis subsp cremoris as lactic culture (treatment A, control) and three by the modified method which, besides the microorganisms listed above, had the addition of an adjunct culture in the following proportions 20% (treatment B), 30% (treatment C) and 40% (treatment D). The milk used for the manufacturing of the cheeses was submitted to the following analysis: acidity, density, dry matter, crioscopy, fat and presence of antibiotics. Cheeses were analyzed with 1, 15, 30, 45 and 60 days of ripening regarding: dry matter, acidity, fat, fat in dry matter, ash, nitrogen and total protein, pH 4,6-soluble nitrogen, TCA-soluble nitrogen, tyrosine, tryptophan, salt, water activity, ripening extension index and depth index (REI and RDI), and protein degradation profile through electrophoresis.
