Both sampling seasonality and geographic origin contribute significantly to variations in raw milk microbiota,but sampling seasonality is the more determining factor

Accurately profiling and characterizing factors shaping raw milk microbiota would provide practical information for detecting microbial contamination and unusual changes in milk. The current work was an observational study aiming to profile the microbiota of raw milk collected across wide geographic regions in China in different seasons and to investigate the contribution of geographical, seasonal, and environmental factors in shaping the raw milk microbiota. A total of 355 raw cow milk samples from healthy Holsteins and 41 environmental samples (farm soil and surface of milking room floor) were collected from 5 dairy farms in 5 Chinese provinces (namely, Daqing in Heilongjiang province, Jiaozuo in Henan province, Qingyuan in Guangdong province, Suqian in Jiangsu province, and Yinchuan in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region) in January, May, and September 2018. The microbial communities in raw milk and farm environmental samples were determined using the PacBio small-molecule real-time circular consensus sequencing, which generated high-fidelity microbiota profiles based on full-length 16S rRNA genes; such technology was advantageous in producing accurate species-level information. Our results showed that both seasonality and sampling region were significant factors influencing the milk microbiota; however, the raw milk microbiota was highly diverse according to seasonality, and sampling region was the less determining factor. The wide variation in raw milk microbial communities between samples made it difficult to define a representative species-level core milk microbiota. Nevertheless, 3 most universal milk-associated species were identified: Lactococcus lactis, Enhydrobacter aerosaccus, and Acinetobacter lwoffii, which were consistently detected in 99%, 95%, and 94% of all analyzed milk samples, respectively (n = 355). The top taxa accounting for the overall seasonal microbiota variation were Bacillus (Bacillus cereus, Bacillus flexus, Bacillus safensis), Lactococcus (Lactococcus lactis, Lactococcus piscium, Lactococcus raffinolactis), Lactobacillus (Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii), Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Streptococcus agalactiae, Enhydrobacter aerosaccus, Pseudomonas fragi, and Psychrobacter cibarius. Unlike the milk microbiota, the environmental microbiota did not exhibit obvious pattern of seasonal or geographic variation. However, this study was limited by the relatively low number and types of environmental samples, making it statistically not meaningful to perform further correlation analysis between the milk and environmental microbiota. Nevertheless, this study generated novel information on raw milk microbiota across wide geographic regions of China and found that seasonality was more significant in shaping the raw milk microbiota compared with geographic origin     

原料乳中腐败微生物对液态乳品质的影响及防控

乳因其营养丰富备受关注,被称为人体的“白色血液”,同时乳也是微生物良好的培养基,因此原料乳品质和液态乳加工过程都会受到严格把控,但目前液态乳在储藏期、流水线或货架期内发生腐败变质现象仍屡屡发生,引起行业对乳及乳制品安全的高度重视。原料乳作为液态乳生产的原料,是其品质保障的基础,原料乳中腐败微生物随着储藏时间的延长而大量繁殖,经过热处理后未被完全杀死的腐败菌及其产生的耐热酶仍会继续影响液态乳品质,此外生物膜的形成也为腐败菌在管道内残留提供了机会,加大了腐败微生物防控的难度。因此本文将从原料乳中腐败微生物多样性进行阐述并探究腐败微生物对于液态乳的不良影响,挖掘腐败微生物破坏液态乳可能存在的作用机制,总结现阶段国内外对腐败微生物的防控手段并探讨其商业应用价值,旨在为今后液态乳质量安全保障及延长货架期提供理论指导。

Biodiversity and technological potential of wild lactic acid bacteria from raw cows' milk

To study lactic acid bacteria (LAB) biodiversity and to evaluate their potential for use in dairy applications, eight raw cows' milk batches were sampled from five dairy factories located in different areas of the Trentino region during winter and summer milkings. A total of 370 (Gram-positive and catalase-negative) isolates were first molecularly analysed by means of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR). After strain differentiation (124 profiles), LAB were genetically identified at species level. The most frequently isolated LAB were lactococci, enterococci and streptococci. Lactobacilli, leuconostocs and pediococci were found at low levels. All strains belonging to the most numerous groups which are relevant in cheese production were characterized for their physiology, technological aptitudes and safety aspects. Although the majority of strains did not show a marked potential, the high biodiversity of wild LAB allowed the selection of a few strains with interesting properties in view of their use in traditional cheese productions as starter and non starter inocula.     

Isolation and identification of lipolytic, psychrotrophic, spore forming bacteria from raw milk

Out of 100 samples of raw milk, 48% were found to contain lipolytic, psychrotrophic, spore forming bacilli. The lipase activity of 59 selected isolates ranged from 8.5 to 42 units/ml. Forty one per cent of the total isolates exhibited enzyme activity in the range of 21–25 units/ml. On the basis of morphological and biochemical characteristics, the 59 lipolytic isolates were identified as Bacillus cereus (19), Bpolymyxa (12), B licheniformis (10), B circulans (7), B subtilis (5), B laterosporus (4) and B coagulans (2). B cereus (32.2%) was found to be the predominant organism.

Molecular identification of mesophilic and psychrotrophic bacteria from raw cow's milk

The aim of this study was to use molecular techniques to assess the microbiota of eight raw cow's milk samples at biotype and species level. Sixty-six isolates from raw milk samples were screened by Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA–PCR (RAPD–PCR) biotyping and representative strains of RAPD–PCR profiles were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Pseudomonas spp. were the most commonly occurring contaminants along with Enterobacteriaceae such as Hafnia alvei, Serratia marcescens and Citrobacter freundii. Moreover, Gram-positive isolates belonging to the genera Staphylococcus and Lactococcus were also found. Experiments of growth at different temperatures showed that more than 50% of the Gram-negative isolates could grow at chill temperatures and that 65% of the Pseudomonas spp. strains grew at 7 °C within 5 days. Only 13 Gram-negative isolates displayed proteolytic activity on milk agar, suggesting that not all the biotypes of milk contaminating species are able to perform this spoilage-associated activity. Among the Gram negative, the proteolytic strains were mainly Peudomonas spp. that displayed the activity at both 7 °C and 20 °C. A reliable molecular identification of raw milk microbiota is important for the study of the microbiological quality of raw milks and for the assessment of the ecology at species level in order to develop improved systems, preventing contamination and having the best conditions for the storage of milk.     

Genetic diversity of Gram-negative, proteolytic, psychrotrophic bacteria isolated from refrigerated raw milk

The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting technique was used to assess the genetic diversity of 70 isolates of Gram-negative proteolytic psychrotrophic bacteria that were isolated from refrigerated raw milk. Three oligonucleotides, which generated 87 fragments of polymorphic DNA, were used in the amplification reactions. The genetic distance values calculated using Jaccard's coefficient showed there was high genetic variability among the isolates. Cluster analysis procedures suggested that the genetic variability among isolates belonging to the same species was as high as the variability among different species. Clustering by the UPGMA hierarchical method and data graph dispersion indicated a tendency of the isolates to group according to whether they did or did not ferment glucose.     

Influence of refrigeration and carbon dioxide addition to raw milk on microbial levels, free monosaccharides and myo-inositol content of raw and pasteurized milk

The influence of CO₂ treatment on free monosaccharides and myo-inositol in raw and pasteurized milk during cold storage was studied. Pasteurization did not cause significant changes in the monosaccharide fraction. No variations in the level of galactose and myo-inositol in untreated and CO₂-treated samples were observed during cold storage. The content of glucose decreased considerably during cold storage due to bacterial growth in pasteurized milk. During cold storage of pasteurized milk no changes in N-acetylgalactosamine were observed, whereas N-acetylglucosamine decreased considerably after 15 days. No differences between untreated and CO₂-treated milks were found. A substantial decrease in N-acetylglucosamine and a gradual increase in N-acetylgalactosamine were observed in raw milk during cold storage. The former was attributed to consumption of this hexosamine by microorganisms and the latter was probably due to microbial glycosidic enzymes. The addition of CO₂ to raw milk proved to be a useful treatment for milk preservation without modifying the free monosaccharide fraction. Received: 4 October 1999     

Incidence, source and some properties of psychrotrophic Bacillus spp found in raw and pasteurized milk

Spores of psychrotrophic Bacillus spp were isolated from 58% of farm bulk tank milks and about 69% of pasteurized milks. Counts of Bacillus spp in about 10% of raw milk samples reached 1 × 10⁵ cfu/ml and above within seven days at 6°C. Psychrotrophic spore counts in pasteurized milks ranged from <0.5 to 170 spores/litre with an average of about 17/1. There was little correlation between the total bacterial count of the raw milk and presence of psychrotrophic Bacillus spores. There was some evidence that the bulk tank itself may be a source of contamination. The spores in pasteurized milk probably were not the result of postpasteurization contamination. The optimum germination temperature for psychrotrophic Bacillus spores was lower than that for spores of mesophilic strains. About 50% of the psychrotrophic Bacillus strains isolated from milk were capable of growth at 2°C.

Factors influencing the recovery of psychrotrophic, mesophilic and thermophilic Bacillus spp from bulk raw milk

Because of the wide range of physiological properties found in the genus Bacillus one of the main problems in the standard procedure for isolating these organisms from milk and dairy products is the difficulty in defining conditions which are suitable for the activation and outgrowth of all spores present. This study investigated the effects of various raw milk heat treatments, the addition of L-alanine (a nutrient encouraging germination) to the milk after heat treatment, different incubation temperature-time combinations and two confirmatory media on the recovery of psychrotrophic, mesophilic and thermophilic Bacillus spp occurring in raw bulked milk. There was no significant difference (p >0.05) between the confirmatory media used, ie, starch milk agar and milk plate count agar. However, it was found that heat treatment, addition of L-alanine and the incubation period had significant effects on the recovery of the organisms from raw milk. The highest numbers of psychrotrophic and mesophilic spores were recovered after a heat treatment of 80C for 10 min followed by the addition of L-alanine to the milk at 0.1% wlv, and incubating at 6.5°C for 15 days for the former and 30C for 15 days for the latter. The highest numbers of thermophilic spores were recovered from raw milk by a heat treatment of 80C for 30 min, addition of L-alanine and incubating at 55°C for 7 days.     

Spoilage microbiota associated to the storage of raw meat in different conditions

The spoilage of raw meat is mainly due to undesired microbial development in meat during storage. The type of bacteria and their loads depend on the initial meat contamination and on the specific storage conditions that can influence the development of different spoilage-related microbial populations thus affecting the type and rate of the spoilage process. This review focuses on the composition of raw meat spoilage microbiota and the influence of storage conditions such as temperature, packaging atmosphere and use of different preservatives on the bacterial diversity developing in raw meat. In addition, the most recent tools used for the detection and identification of meat microbiota are also reviewed.     

Detection of the apr gene in proteolytic psychrotrophic bacteria isolated from refrigerated raw milk

Bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas have been associated with the spoilage of raw milk and dairy products due to the production of thermostable proteolytic enzymes. The apr gene encodes for alkaline metalloprotease in Pseudomonas and other related bacteria. Its presence in psychrotrophic proteolytic bacteria isolated from raw milk collected from cooling tanks was verified. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was used with degenerate primers. Total DNA from 112 isolates was pooled in different groups and then used as template for the amplification reactions. Controls consisted of DNA extracted from 26 cultures. An expected DNA fragment of 194 bp was detected in groups that contained bacteria identified as Pseudomonas. The PCR product was observed only when DNA from control cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Serratia marcescens and Aeromonas hydrophila were used. A detection limit assay indicated that the apr gene could be directly amplified from pasteurized milk inoculated with 10(8) CFU/ml of P. fluorescens. With this method it was possible to detect proteolytic bacteria at 10(5) CFU/ml in reconstituted skim milk powder if cells were recovered for DNA extraction before amplification.
