This study explored the evolution of spoilage and related volatile organic Bacterial communities compounds (VOCs) in chilled beef under air and vacuum packaging (VP). The results suggested that different Bacterial metabolites storage conditions affected changes in bacterial communities and metabolites in beef and consequently affected Volatile compounds the odor properties of the stored beef, thereby leading to spoilage. Bacterial species belonging to Pseudomonadaceae (Pseudomonas spp.) and lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus sp.) dominated the bacterial com- munities in beef stored under air and VP, respectively, with several VOCs associated with off-odors of the stored beef and most likely produced by both bacteria. Our results suggested several microbial VOCs that could be used as potential spoilage indicators, including acetic acid, butanoic acid, and 2-butanone in VP-stored beef and 3- methylbutan-1-ol, ethyl acetate, acetoin, 2-butanone, and diacetyl in air-stored beef. These findings might provide valuable information regarding the quality monitoring of beef during storage. 1.

Seawater was spread onto Zobell agar plates or marine agar plates (DIFCO) and incubated at in situ temperature. Colonies were picked and plate- purified before being frozen in liquid medium with 20% glycerol. The collection represents aerobic heterotrophic bacteria from pelagic waters. Bacteria were grown in media according to their physiological needs of salinity. Isolates from the Baltic Sea were grown on Zobell media (ZoBELL, 1941) (800 ml filtered seawater from the Baltic, 200 ml Milli-Q water, 5g Bacto-peptone, 1g Bacto-yeast extract). Isolates from the Mediterranean Sea and the Southern California Bight were grown on marine agar or marine broth (DIFCO laboratories). The optimal temperature for growth was determined by growing each isolate in 4ml of appropriate media at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50o C with gentle shaking. Growth was measured by an increase in absorbance at 550nm. Statistical analyses The influence of temperature, geographical origin and taxonomic affiliation on growth rates was assessed by a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) in R (http://www.r-project.org/) and the “car” package.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, for example, senses surface-contact through the Wsp 11 signal transduction system to trigger the production of cyclic di-GMP. Diverse mutations in wsp genes 12 that manifest enhanced biofilm formation are frequently reported in clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa, and 13 in biofilm studies of Pseudomonas spp. and Burkholderia cenocepacia. In contrast to the convergent 14 phenotypes associated with comparable wsp mutations, we demonstrate that the Wsp system in B. 15 cenocepacia does not impact intracellular cyclic di-GMP levels unlike that in Pseudomonas spp. Our 16 current mechanistic understanding of the Wsp system is entirely based on the study of four Pseudomonas 17 spp. and its phylogenetic distribution remains unknown. Here, we present the first broad phylogenetic 18 analysis to date to show that the Wsp system originated in the β-proteobacteria then horizontally 19 transferred to Pseudomonas spp., the sole member of the γ-proteobacteria.

In this study, the beneficial rhizobacterium Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 was genetically modified to fix nitrogen using the genes encoding the nitrogenase of Pseudomonas stutzeri A1501 via the X940 cosmid. Pf-5 X940 was able to grow in L medium without nitrogen, displayed high nitrogenase activity and released significant quantities of ammonium to the medium. Pf-5 X940 also showed constitutive expression and enzymatic activity of nitrogenase in ammonium medium or in nitrogen-free medium, suggesting a constitutive nitrogen fixation. Similar to Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5, Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas veronii and Pseudomonas taetrolens but not Pseudomonas balearica and Pseudomonas stutzeri transformed with cosmid X940 showed constitutive nitrogenase activity and high ammonium production, suggesting that this phenotype depends on the genome context and that this technology to obtain nitrogen-fixing bacteria is not restricted to Pf-5. Interestingly, inoculation of Arabidopsis, alfalfa, tall fescue and maize with Pf-5 X940 increased the ammonium concentration in soil and plant productivity under nitrogen-deficient conditions.

She hardly knows which is which. She simply pursues her vision of excellence through whatever she is doing, and leaves others to determine whether she is working or playing. To herself, she always appears to be doing both.” Adapted to Lawrence Pearsall Jacks REMERCIEMENTS Remerciements L'opportunité de faire un doctorat, en France, à l’Unité mixte de recherche MICALIS de Jouy-en-Josas a provoqué de nombreux changements dans ma vie : un autre pays, une autre langue, une autre culture et aussi, un nouveau domaine de recherche.
