Acknowledgements - Zahvala My genuine thanks to my mentor and supervisor, Assist. Prof. Mirna Mrkonjić Fuka, Ph.D., for giving me the opportunity to work on the project and to perform my PhD. I’m thankful for guiding me not only in these past 4 years, rather continuously guiding me back from the time I was an undergraduate student. I appreciate the time you took to teach me, direct my thesis and help me in all aspects of my work. Among other things, you encouraged me to be more proactive and to think critically, all of which helped to shape me into being a person I am today, both professionally and personally. I want to express my gratitude to my colleague and a friend Assist. Prof. Nataša Hulak, Ph.D. Since you joined our group as a postdoc, you were of immense help to me. Aldo often cut up in your own work, you always found time to help me in my moments of despair, figuring out why some of the analysis didn’t work. I could always count on your help in brainstorming ideas, theoretical planning of experiments and realising them. You were there when I needed motivation, support and a kind word from a friend. Working with you was never boring. I am thankful to Melita and Mateja, for your help in carrying out several experiments. Melita, your exceptional organisational skills made possible for everything to work out even when a large number of samples were processed in our lab, while Mateja, your contagious calmness and tranquillity provided a lovely working atmosphere even in the most stressful occasions. I am very grateful to both of you for always being there for me and supporting me in every way possible. I want to thank all the employees at the Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Microbiology. All of them, in one way or another, had a certain role in realising this thesis. Dragica and Sandra, you guided me since I was an undergraduate student and had the patience of repeatedly showing me some basic microbiological techniques and correcting me until I grasped them. At the duration of my Ph.D. studies, you continued to teach me new things. I owe so much to Sali, for motivating me, always having a kind word and for providing logistical support. Thanks to Darija, who managed to find a solution to every problem and with her contagious laughter made the working atmosphere more pleasant. I’m grateful to Prof. Sanja Sikora, Ph.D. giving me useful advices. Thanks to my colleagues Irina, Sanja and Ivana, who were supportive not only in the lab, but with working with students as well. I’m especially grateful to Irina for her work in analysing the data regarding next-generation sequencing and her help with the interpretation of results. I am grateful to all the other employees at the Faculty of Agriculture with whom I had the chance to work and to learn from them. I want to thank Prof. Michael Schloter, Ph.D. and the entire group of Research Unit for Comparative Microbiome Analysis at the Helmholtz Zentrum München for granting me an opportunity to be a part of their group. That was a very valuable experience for me. I want to thank Assist. Prof. Konrad Domig, Ph.D., and Marija Zunabovic-Pichler, Ph.D. for giving me the opportunity to perform my work at the Institute of Food Science, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna. I would particularly like to thank Marija Zunabovic-Pichler and Sigrid Mayrhofer, Ph.D., for their continuous support during my stay and helping me to settle into a new working environment, as well as for their valuable insights and advice regarding my work. I am grateful to all other employees at the Institute for a very warm welcome and a nice collaboration. I am grateful to Assist. Prof. Ivica Kos, Ph.D., Prof. Danijel Karolyi, Ph.D. and Prof. Blaženka Kos, Ph.D. on the time and effort they invested in improving this work, as members of the committee for evaluation of the dissertation. Without your input, this work wouldn’t be in its present form. In the end, I would like to thank my dear friends and family. Kristina, thank you for your down-to-earth view of life. You entered a dose of sanity in my life when I needed it most. Nikola, your recommendations on using certain programmes simplified and made easier writing this thesis. Thank you for always being honest and pragmatic, for being supportive as well as for giving me constructive criticism. Dino, thank you for motivating and helping me to enrol at the Faculty of Agriculture, now more than a decade ago, which determined my academic path.

  • Abstract Daughtry, Katheryne Virginia
    ABSTRACT DAUGHTRY, KATHERYNE VIRGINIA. Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Lactobacillus buchneri Strains Isolated from Spoiled Fermented Cucumber. (Under the direction of Dr. Rodolphe Barrangou and Dr. Suzanne D. Johanningsmeier). Lactobacillus buchneri is a facultative anaerobe and member of the lactic acid bacteria. L. buchneri has been isolated from various environments, but most commonly from decomposing plant material, such as silage and spoiled food products, including wine, beer, Swiss cheese, mayonnaise, and fermented cucumber. Recently, the metabolic pathway for the conversion of lactic acid to acetic acid and 1,2-propanediol was annotated in this species. Although this metabolic pathway is not common in most lactic acid bacteria, L. buchneri degrades lactate under various conditions. Lactic acid utilization in fermented cucumbers leads to a rise in pH, ultimately spoiling the product. In previous studies, strains of L. buchneri isolated from fermented cucumber spoiled displayed variation in colony morphologies. It was predicted the isolates were phenotypically and genotypically diverse, and that the abilities to degrade lactic acid may be strain specific. To examine this hypothesis, thirty-five L. buchneri cultures isolated from spoiled fermented cucumber and the type strain isolated from tomato pulp were characterized and unique strains were subjected to whole genome sequencing. Each isolate was genotypically and phenotypically characterized using 16S rDNA sequencing, DiversiLab® rep-PCR, colony morphology on MRS agar, carbohydrate profiling, growth rates in MRS media, and the ability to degrade lactic acid in a modified MRS medium. Great diversity in colony morphology revealed variations of color (ranging from opaque yellow to white), texture (brittle, viscous, or powdery), shape (umbonate, flat, circular, or irregular) and size (1 mm- 11mm).

Vasantha Rupasinghe 1,* 1 Faculty of Agriculture, Dalhousie University, Truro, NS PO Box 550, Canada; [email protected] 2 Faculty of Dentistry, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS PO Box 15000, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-902-893-6623 Academic Editors: Maurizio Battino, Etsuo Niki and José L. Quiles Received: 7 January 2016 ; Accepted: 6 February 2016 ; Published: 17 February 2016 Abstract: This review paper summarizes the antibacterial effects of phytochemicals of various medicinal plants against pathogenic and cariogenic streptococcal species. The information suggests that these phytochemicals have potential as alternatives to the classical antibiotics currently used for the treatment of streptococcal infections. The phytochemicals demonstrate direct bactericidal or bacteriostatic effects, such as: (i) prevention of bacterial adherence to mucosal surfaces of the pharynx, skin, and teeth surface; (ii) inhibition of glycolytic enzymes and pH drop; (iii) reduction of biofilm and plaque formation; and (iv) cell surface hydrophobicity. Collectively, findings from numerous studies suggest that phytochemicals could be used as drugs for elimination of infections with minimal side effects. Keywords: streptococci; biofilm; adherence; phytochemical; quorum sensing; S. mutans; S. pyogenes; S. agalactiae; S. pneumoniae 1. Introduction The aim of this review is to summarize the current knowledge of the antimicrobial activity of naturally occurring molecules isolated from plants against Streptococcus species, focusing on their mechanisms of action. This review will highlight the phytochemicals that could be used as alternatives or enhancements to current antibiotic treatments for Streptococcus species.
