They can also be spoilage bacteria, especially in vacuum packed meat products. Many Leuconostocs produce antimicrobial peptides, also known as bacteriocins. Leuconostoc bacteriocins are usually small, less than 10 kDa non-modified peptides, which are secreted by dedicated transporters. These bacteriocins kill many different bacteria, including strains of Enterococcus, Listeria, and Staphylococcus genera. Sensitivity to bacteriocins is usually dependent on a specific receptor on the target cell membrane. On Listeria cell membrane, mannose-phosphotransferase system Man-PTS has been shown to be the target for bacteriocins leucocins A and C from Leuconostoc. These class IIa bacteriocins bind to the subunit IIC (MptC) of Man-PTS and open the transporter, which leads to cell leakage and eventually cell death. Bacteriocin producers express specific immunity proteins, which protect the producer cells by blocking the transporter pore. In this doctoral dissertation, the bacteriocins produced by Leuconostoc carnosum 4010 were studied. The strain 4010 is a commercial protective culture for vacuum packaged meat products. The strain produces two antilisterial bacteriocins, leucocins A and C. In this study, the strain was found to produce a third bacteriocin, leucocin B, which is active against some Leuconostoc and Weissella strains. Genes required for the production of the three leucocins were characterised. The leucocin genes were arranged in operons on two native plasmids. A single ABC-transporter was found in the strain 4010 and was believed to carry out the bacteriocin secretion for all three leucocins. Immediately downstream of the leucocin genes lcnA, lebB, and lecC, putative immunity genes lcnB, lebI, and lecI were found. The immunity

Approved food additives and their permitted conditions of use are set out in the Lists of Permitted Food Additives that are incorporated by reference in the MAs and published on Health Canada’s website. A petitioner can request that Health Canada approve a new additive or a new condition of use for an already approved food additive by filing a food additive submission with the Department's Food Directorate. Health Canada uses this premarket approval process to determine whether the scientific data support the safety of food additives when used under specified conditions in foods sold in Canada. Health Canada received a food additive submission seeking approval for the use of the bacterium Leuconostoc carnosum 4010 as an antimicrobial preservative at a maximum level of use consistent with Good Manufacturing Practice in certain vacuum-packed non-shelf-stable meat and poultry products, namely: bologna, cervelat, frankfurters, mortadella, and wieners.

High-throughout High-throughput sequencing (HTS) sequencing (HTS) showed that the microbial composition changed greatly with the prolongation of storage time. The diversity of microbiota was abundant at the initial stage then experienced a continuous decrease. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) mainly Leuconostoc and Lactobacillus dominated the microbial population after seven days of storage. A total of 26 isolates were identified from different growth media using traditional cultivation isolation and identification method. Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Leuconostoc carnosum were the most prevalent species since day 15, while Lactobacillus sakei and Lactobacillus curvatus were only found on day 45, suggesting that they could be responsible for the spoilage of bacon.

Summary Bacteria live in almost any imaginable environment, from the most extreme envi- ronments (e.g. in hydrothermal vents) to the bovine and human gastrointestinal tract. By adapting to such diverse environments, they have developed a large arsenal of enzymes involved in a wide variety of biochemical reactions. While some such enzymes support our digestion or can be used for the optimization of biotechnological processes, others may be harmful { e.g. mediating the roles of bacteria in human diseases.

  • Panoramic View on Genome Diversity and Evolution of Lactic Acid Bacteria
    博士論文 Panoramic View on Genome Diversity and Evolution of Lactic Acid Bacteria （乳酸菌ゲノムの多様性と進化に関する俯瞰的解析 ） Yasuhiro Tanizawa 谷澤 靖洋 Abstract Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have long been associated with human culture and industrially exploited in production and preservation of food and feed for centuries. They are isolated across the world from nutrient rich environments, such as dairy products, fermented foods, plants, and animal intestines. From a taxonomic point of view, they are distributed into over 30 genera from six families under the order Lactobacillales. Among them, the genus Lactobacillus is the largest and highly heterogeneous group comprising nearly 200 species and subspecies. Recent advance of genome sequencing technologies has realized access to enormous genomic data. Particularly in the field of microbiology, genome sequences for a variety of organisms, not limited for model organisms or human pathogens, have become available, which gave rise to new opportunities for investigating diverse species. As of April 2016, NCBI Assembly Database stores more than 700 genomes for the genus Lactobacillus, marking the largest number except for model microorganisms and pathogenic bacteria. In particular, they include genomic data of 179 Lactobacillus spp. covering over 90% of its known species. The ecological characteristics of LAB and its wealth of genomic data make this microorganism particularly attractive for revealing the diversity of microbial world and their evolutionary background. This work contains three research projects. The first two address case analyses of LAB that exhibit atypical characteristics: L. hokkaidonensis and the genus Fructobacillus. The last one addresses the development of a genome archive and annotation pipeline specialized for LAB. Psychrotolerant LAB: Lactobacillus hokkaidonensis Lactobacillus hokkaidonensis is an obligate heterofermentative LAB, which was isolated from Timothy grass silage in Hokkaido, a subarctic region of Japan.
