L. lactis is used predominantly as a starter culture for the production of various hard and soft cheeses. The constant threat of (bacterio)phage infection combined with consumer-driven diversification of product ranges have created an increased need to improve technologies for the rational selection of novel starter culture blends. Whole genome sequencing, spurred on by recent advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms, is a promising approach to facilitate the rapid identification and selection of such strains based on gene-trait matching. In this thesis the most up-to-date sequencing methodologies were applied to sequence sixteen L. lactis isolates to facilitate an in depth comparative and functional genomic analysis of the taxon with particular emphasis placed on dairy traits. A selection of lactococcal strains were first functionally characterised based on their phenotypic traits and assessed for industrial robustness and flavour formation using a functional approach. The behaviour of the strains under simulated cheese production conditions was monitored, and employed to assess their temperature-induced autolytic properties. This analysis was followed by the determination of activity profiles of enzymes related to key flavour formation pathways, in order to explore proteolytic and lipolytic abilities of each strain. Comparative analysis between our selection of L. lactis strains and of four starter cultures currently employed in the Irish dairy industry for the production of half-fat 6 Cheddar cheese facilitated the identification of potentially novel starter cultures. In total twenty strains were assessed for the activity of twelve separate enzymes related to cheese production. From these strains, eleven were selected for whole genome shotgun sequencing to further investigate their genetic composition, and to explore the possibility of linking genotype to phenotype (also called gene-trait matching). The genomes of sixteen L. lactis subsp. lactis and L. lactis subsp. cremoris dairy strains were sequenced to completion, doubling the number of fully sequenced L. lactis genomes currently available from the public National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) data base. These newly sequenced genomes along with available whole genome sequences were used to perform the largest comparative and functional genomic study to date on the L. lactis taxon. Their chromosomal features were assessed with particular emphasis on discerning the L. lactis subspecies division, evolution and niche adaptation. This analysis clearly identified a phylogenetic division between subspecies lactis and cremoris strains, which was further corroborated by hierarchical clustering based on carbohydrate and amino acid metabolic pathways. The pan and core genomes of L. lactis were shown to be comprised of 5906 and 1129 genes, respectively. Both were found to be in a closed state, indicating that the representative data sets employed for this analysis are sufficient to fully describe the genetic diversity of the taxon. Niche adaptation appears to play a significant role in governing the genetic content of each L. lactis subspecies, while (differential) genome decay and redundancy in the dairy niche was also highlighted. The description of chromosomal adaptations in L. lactis has not received the same level of attention compared to plasmid-mediated characteristics due to the perceived biotechnological importance of the latter. Our comparative analysis revealed that the division between plasmid- and chromosome-based traits is 7 less clear as multiple integration events within the lactococcal chromosome suggests a more fluid genome than previously thought. The complete genome sequence analysis of sixteen L. lactis strains revealed the presence of a total of sixty-seven plasmids, including two megaplasmids representing the first megaplasmids identified in lactococcal strains. Megaplasmids are large autonomous self-replicating extrachromosomal genetic elements greater than 100 Kb. While megaplasmids are not essential for the growth of their host, they may encode additional metabolic capabilities. Comparative genome analysis of these sequences combined with those of publicly available plasmids (eighty one publicly available) allowed the definition of the lactococcal plasmidome based on one hundred and forty eight complete plasmid sequences, and facilitated an investigation into technologically important plasmid-encoded traits. In contrast to the lactococcal chromosomes, the lactococcal pan-plasmidome was found to be in a fluid state implying that continued sequencing efforts will likely expand the diversity of this data set and lead to an increase in the identification of novel plasmid features. In the present study, lactococcal gut adhesion was also investigated identifying potential gut adhesion factors within the lactococcal plasmidome. It is envisioned that this may provide further insights for the application of L. lactis as a vector for vaccine and biomolecule delivery. Finally, the frequency of plasmid-encoded phage resistance mechanisms was assessed with particular emphasis on abortive infection (Abi) systems. In total fourteen plasmid-encoded Abi systems were identified, while further analysis also identified frequent occurrences of these systems within the lactococcal chromosomes.

Microbial density determined using plate count agar (total aerobic bacteria), de Man Rogosa Sharpe agar (Lactobacillus), M17 agar (Lactococcus) and yeast peptone dextrose agar supplemented with streptomycin 50 ppm (yeast). Nutritional content and acidity level of each fermented milk sample were also evaluated. Genomic DNA was extracted using FastDNA Spin (MPBIO). The total gDNA was further analyzed using illumina high-throughput se- quencing (paired-end reads), and the sequence results were analysed using QIIME v.1.9.1 to generate diversity profiles. The difference in nutrient content of mare’s milk was thought to affect the density and diversity of microbes that were able to grow. Fermented mare’s milk samples from Sum- bawa had the highest bacterial diversity compared to samples from Bima and Dompu. However, fermented mare’s milk from Dompu had the best quality which was indicated by the absence of bacteria that have the potential to be pathogenic or food spoilage, such as members of the Enterobacte- riaceae family (Enterobacter, Klebsiella and Escherichia-Shigella) and Pseudomonas.

Sumbawa horse milk has a probiotic potential because of the presence of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB). The LAB present in Sumbawa horse milk has been reported to have antimicrobial activities against pathogenic bacteria, including Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Vibrio cholerae. However, the potential of LAB from Sumbawa horse milk as antioxidant and antidiabetic is still unexplored. Studies related to the diversity of indigenous bacteria in Sumbawa horse milk based on metagenomic analysis have not been widely studied either. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the diversity of species of indigenous bacteria in Sumbawa horse milk and to identify LAB bioprospecting from Sumbawa horse milk.

One koumiss, 5 commercially available kefir beverages with different brands, and 1 homemade kefir were used as samples. Microbial diversity of kefir and koumiss samples were determined by metagenomic analysis, targeting V1-V2 region of 16S rRNA gene. Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactococcus lactis were detected as dominant in direct DNA isolation from commercially available kefir beverages. Lc. lactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides were dom- inant in MRS agars, and Lc. lactis were dominant in M17 agars. In kefir beverages produced by kefir grains,Lb. kefiranofaciens was determined as the dominant bacteria. Lb. kefiri and Entero- coccus durans were found dominant in MRS and M17 agars respectively. Lb. kefiranofaciens, Lb. kefiri, and Str. thermophilus were the dominant bacterias of koumiss beverages. Microorgan- isms isolated from kefir and koumiss beverages were found to exhibit basic probiotic properties, similar to the lactic acid bacteria isolated from yakult.
