The strain of A. bogorensis used was isolated from spoiled commercial fruit-flavored drinking water. The cranberry juice was analyzed for polyphenols, organic acids, and carbohydrates using high-performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry techniques. The adhesive abilities of bacterial cells in culture medium supplemented with cranberry juice were determined using luminometry and microscopy. The viability of adhered and planktonic bacterial cells was determined by the plate count method, and the relative adhesion coefficient was calculated. This strain of A. bogorensis was characterized by strong adhesion properties that were dependent upon the type of surface. The highest level of cell adhesion was found on the polystyrene. However, in the presence of 10% cranberry juice, attachment of bacterial cells was three times lower. Chemical analysis of juice revealed the presence of sugars, organic acids, and anthocyanins, which were identified as galactosides, glucosides, and arabinosides of cyanidin and peonidin.

  • Anti-Adhesion Activity of Mint (Mentha Piperita L.) Leaves Extract Against Beverage Spoilage Bacteria Asaia Spp
    Biotechnology and Food Sciences Research article Anti-adhesion activity of mint (Mentha piperita L.) leaves extract against beverage spoilage bacteria Asaia spp. Hubert Antolak,* Agata Czyżowska, Dorota Kręgiel Institute of Fermentation Technology and Microbiology, Lodz University of Technology, Wolczanska 171/173, 90-924 Lodz, Poland *[email protected] Abstract: The production of a functional beverage, supplemented with fruit flavourings meets the problem of microbiological contamination. The most frequent source of such spoilage is the bacteria from the relatively newly discovered genus Asaia. It causes changes in organoleptic properties, creating turbidity, haziness and distinctive sour odour as well as biofilm on production lines which are responsible for secondary contamination of products. For this reason, new methods using natural preservatives are being developed to minimize this microbiological contamination. The application of some plant extracts as an additives in functional beverages production is presumed to have a beneficial effect on reducing adhesive abilities of the bacteria. The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of mint leaves extract on the Asaia lannensis and Asaia bogorensis adhesive abilities to polystyrene. The bacterial adhesion was analysed by means of plate count method and luminometric tests. Additionally, plant extract was subjected to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis, in order to check polyphenols content. Results indicates that 10% (v/v) addition of mint extract significantly reduced Asaia spp. adhesion to polystyrene. Due to the presence of bioactive compounds in the used extract, it can be used as an additive to increase microbiological stability as well as health promoting values of beverages. Keywords: Asaia spp., mint extract, anti-adhesive properties, functional beverages.

The isolation of H2 producing bacteria from heat treated sludge was carried out. The H2 production from lactic acid rich medium which used 1.5 g/L sodium acetate, 1.5 g/L sodium lactate and 1 g/L sucrose as carbon sources. The effects of inoculums size of 10, 20, 30 and 40 % (v/v) and incubation temperature of 35, 45 and 55ºC using cassava starch wastewater as the substrate on H2 production by isolation strains were investigated. Results showed 6 isolated strains i.e. isolation code of MK01to MK06 indicated the H2 production capability when cultured in lactic acid rich medium. However, 3 isolated strains i.e. MK01, MK04, and MK06 were preferred to use as seed inoculums for further experiments depend on a high H2 production capacity obtained. Results indicated that the optimal condition of H2 production from cassava starch wastewater was 30% (v/v) inoculum size of MK06 under 35ºC of incubation temperature.

  • Biofilms in Beverage Industry
    Chapter 9 Biofilms in Beverage Industry Dorota Kregiel and Hubert Antolak Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/62940 Abstract Over the years, numerous studies have been conducted into the possible links between biofilms in beverage industry and health safety. Consumers trust that the soft drinks they buy are safe and their quality is guaranteed. This chapter provides an overview of available scientific knowledge and cites numerous studies on various aspects of biofilms in drinking water technology and soft drinks industry and their implications for health safety. Particular attention is given to Proteobacteria, including two different genera: Aeromo‐ nas, which represents Gammaproteobacteria, and Asaia, a member of Alphaproteobacteria. Keywords: biofilms, water, soft drinks, Aeromonas , Asaia 1. Drinking water systems In water systems, both natural and industrial dominate Proteobacteria. This is the main group (phylum) of Gram-negative bacteria, taxonomically very diverse, consisting of more than 200 genera. Its membership includes both pathogenic bacteria of the genera Escherichia, Salmonel‐ la, Vibrio, Helicobacter, and many other types of free-living or symbiotic, motile or nonmotile, chemoautotrophic or heterotrophic bacteria from outstanding aerobes to obligatory anaerobes. Although bacteria are physiologically and morphologically diverse, they constitute a coher‐ ent set of six main classes: Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, Deltaproteobacteria, Epsilonproteobacteria, and Zetaproteobacteria. Taxonomy of the group is determined primarily on the basis of ribosomal RNA sequences [1]. Species belonging to the classes Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, and Gammaproteobacteria are very heterogene‐ ous in their physiological characteristics. Each of the three classes includes aerobes and anaerobes, photosynthetic and nonphotosynthetic cells.

  • Asaia Lannensis Bacteremia in a ‘Needle Freak’ Patient
    CASE REPORT For reprint orders, please contact: [email protected] Asaia lannensis bacteremia in a ‘needle freak’ patient Edoardo Carretto*,1, Rosa Visiello1, Marcellino Bardaro1, Simona Schivazappa2, Francesca Vailati3, Claudio Farina3 & Daniela Barbarini4 The genus Asaia has gained much interest lately owing to constant new species discoveries and its role as a potential opportunistic pathogen to humans. Here we describe a transient bacteremia due to Asaia lannensis in a patient with a psychiatric disorder (compulsive self- injection of different substances). Common phenotypic methods of identification failed to identify this organism, and only restriction fragment lenght polymorphism of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA gene allowed for proper identification. The isolate was highly resistant to most antibiotics.
