Rapid Genus Identification of Selected Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated from Mugil Cephalis and Oreochromis Niloticus Organs Using MALDI-TOF Annals of Microbiology (2019) 69:1–15 https://doi.org/10.1007/s13213-018-1357-8 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Rapid genus identification of selected lactic acid bacteria isolated from Mugil cephalis and Oreochromis niloticus organs using MALDI-TOF Rim El-Jeni1,2 & Karola Böhme3 & Monia El Bour1 & Pilar Calo-Mata 3 & Rym Kefi4 & Jorge Barros-Velázquez3 & Balkiss Bouhaouala-Zahar2,5 Received: 20 December 2017 /Accepted: 12 July 2018 /Published online: 21 July 2018 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature and the University of Milan 2018 Abstract Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are traditionally used in food and feed bio-industries as they have health-promoting probiotic effect for their host and currently considered safe for human and animal consumption. Recently, we isolated 177 strains from freshwater fishes of dams of Tunisia exhibiting antimicrobial activities against various food-borne pathogens and generated a laboratory biobank to be characterized. Herein, we investigated whether MALDI-TOF could assist rapid identification of LAB genus. First, a lactic microflora-selective Man Rogosa Sharpe medium was used. Isolates were further screened according to the antimicrobial activity, using well-difusion agar. In total, four major genera have been well identified and species frequency has been estimated (74% Enterococcus, 24% Leuconostoc,3%Lactococcus,and2%Vagococcus). Eighteen isolates was further analyzed using MALDI- TOF. Comparative analysis of spectral fingerprints to six referenced MALDI-TOF fingerprints was carried out from the recently developed USC library (www.spectrabank.org). The intra- and inter-specific phyloproteomic relationships among strains were compared to available phylogenetic data based on 16S rDNA genes. This study showed that MALDI-TOF MS is a potent and reliable rapid method for both discrimination and identification of LABs. This highlights the insight of proteomic approach into the screening of food-derived beneficial microorganisms. Keywords Lactic acid bacteria . Fish . MALDI-TOF MS . 16S rDNA .

  • The Inconstant Gut Microbiota of Drosophila Species Revealed by 16S Rrna Gene Analysis
    The ISME Journal (2013) 7, 1922–1932 & 2013 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved 1751-7362/13 www.nature.com/ismej ORIGINAL ARTICLE The inconstant gut microbiota of Drosophila species revealed by 16S rRNA gene analysis Adam C-N Wong1,2, John M Chaston1,2 and Angela E Douglas1 1Department of Entomology, Comstock Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA The gut microorganisms in some animals are reported to include a core microbiota of consistently associated bacteria that is ecologically distinctive and may have coevolved with the host. The core microbiota is promoted by positive interactions among bacteria, favoring shared persistence; its retention over evolutionary timescales is evident as congruence between host phylogeny and bacterial community composition. This study applied multiple analyses to investigate variation in the composition of gut microbiota in drosophilid flies. First, the prevalence of five previously described gut bacteria (Acetobacter and Lactobacillus species) in individual flies of 21 strains (10 Drosophila species) were determined. Most bacteria were not present in all individuals of most strains, and bacterial species pairs co-occurred in individual flies less frequently than predicted by chance, contrary to expectations of a core microbiota. A complementary pyrosequencing analysis of 16S rRNA gene amplicons from the gut microbiota of 11 Drosophila species identified 209 bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs), with near-saturating sampling of sequences, but none of the OTUs was common to all host species. Furthermore, in both of two independent sets of Drosophila species, the gut bacterial community composition was not congruent with host phylogeny. The final analysis identified no common OTUs across three wild and four laboratory samples of D.

  • Determination and Pathogenicity of the Bacterial Flora Associated with the Spruce Bark Beetle, Ips Typographus (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)
    Turk J Biol 35 (2011) 9-20 © TÜBİTAK doi:10.3906/biy-0902-12 Determination and pathogenicity of the bacterial flora associated with the spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) Hacer MURATOĞLU, Kazım SEZEN, Zihni DEMİRBAĞ Department of Biology, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Karadeniz Technical University, 61080 Trabzon - TURKEY Received: 05.02.2009 Abstract: The Eurasian spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), is one of the most serious pests of spruce trees. We identified 8 bacterial isolates from this pest using conventional bacteriological tests (API 20E and API 50CH strips, and VITEK system (bioMerieux) analysis) and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Based on these studies, all isolates could be identified to the genus or species level as Bacillus sphaericus (It1), Acinetobacter sp. (It2), Kluyvera cryocrescens (It3), Acinetobacter sp. (It4), Vagococcus sp. (It5), Acinetobacter sp. (It6), Proteus vulgaris (It7), and Serratia liquefaciens (It8). We also evaluated the pathogenicity of these bacteria on adults of I. typographus. The insecticidal activity of the bacterial isolates at a concentration of 1.8 × 109 bacteria/mL, within 10 days, was 13.3% for B. sphaericus (It1), 16.6% for Acinetobacter sp. (It2 and It4), 23.3% for P. v u lg ar i s (It7), and 53.3% for S. liquefaciens (It8). Since only It8 produced significantly increased mortality relative to the control, the bacterium S. liquefaciens may have potential as a biological control agent against the Eurasian spruce bark beetle.

However, little is known about the role of microorganisms that are difficult to culture and the Retail broiler microbiota during poultry spoilage. We combined traditional cultivation and culture-independent 16S rRNA Janthinobacterium amplicon sequencing to investigate the microbiota encompassing putative bacteria of whole broiler meat, Production line packaged in modified atmosphere, during and exceeding shelf-life. Samples were taken from 6 flocks during Shelf-life independent slaughter days. Additional samples were analysed from the production line. There was a significant difference in the microbial community structure of 80%O2/20%CO2 retail packaged broiler meat during dif- ferent times of shelf-life, mainly due to an increase of species within the Brochothrix, Carnobacterium, Vagococcus, and Janthinobacterium genera.

  • Microbial and Chemical Changes During Preparation in the Traditionally Fermented Soybean Product Tungrymbai of Ethnic Tribes of Meghalaya
    Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge Vol. 11(1), January 2012, pp 139-142 Microbial and chemical changes during preparation in the traditionally fermented soybean product Tungrymbai of ethnic tribes of Meghalaya Sharmila Thokchom & S R Joshi* Microbiology Laboratory, Department of Biotechnology & Bioinformatics North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong-793022, India E-mail: [email protected] Received 20.12.10; revised 15.08.11 In the present investigation, Tungrymbai, an ethnic fermented soybean food of the ethnic tribes of Meghalaya, India was analyzed for the proximate microbial and chemical changes occurring in the fermented product due to preparation method. Among the aerobic mesophilic forms, lactic acid bacteria (LAB), Enterobacteriaceae, spore formers, yeast and fungal counts; the microbial loads of spore forming bacteria count were not affected in the post-cooked Tungrymbai as compared to other counts. The pH and total titratable acidity were higher in the pre-cooked Tungrymbai while moisture content was higher in the post-cooked sample. The microbes that were prevalent in both the pre-cooked and post-cooked fermented samples were Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus durans, Vagococcus lutrae, Staphylococcus equorum and Saccharomyces sp. However, probiotic bacteria like Lactobacillus were not detected in post-cooked samples indicating that the preparation method significantly altered the composition of lactic acid bacteria.

Isolation of Carnobacterium piscicola and an unidentified Gram-positive bacillus from sexually mature and post-spawning rainbow trout On corhynch us m ykiss Clifford E.

University of Georgia, Athens. Georgia 30602, USA ABSTRACT: Blochemica1 and electrophoretic studles were done on bacterial isolates collected from rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss from 2 private hatcheries In the Pacific Northwest, USA. Five isolates onginated from post-spawning mortalities and morbidities; 2 other isolates were obtained from reproductively active 17 mo old rainbow trout. After 35S-methion~ne-labeledprotein lysates were prepared from each isolate, correlation coefficients of electrophoretic proflles were calculated for each pair of isolates using an automated m~crobiologicalidentification system (AMBIS) The Gram-pos~tive isolates appeared to represent 1 or possibly 2 genera: Carnobacterium and Lactobacillus Five isolates were identified as C. piscicola and two (106891,106892) did not correspond to any previously described species. Comparisons based upon correlation coefficients calculated for the 2 unidentified isolates and for biochemically similar strains, including C. piscicola (ATCC 15434), L. alimentarius (ATCC 29643) and L. homohiochi (ATCC 15434),resulted in values no greater than 0.792. This dissimilarity suggests that the 2 unidentified isolates represent a different blotype of C. plscicola or a previously undescribed species of Lactobacillus.
