The critical role of urease in yogurt fermentation with various combinations of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus

The protocooperation between Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus relies on metabolite exchanges that accelerate acidification during yogurt fermentation. Conflicting results have been obtained in terms of the effect of the Strep. thermophilus urease and the NH₃ and CO₂ that it generates on the rate of acidification in yogurt fermentation. It is difficult to perform a systematic study of the effects of urease on protocooperation because it is necessary to distinguish among the direct, indirect, and strain-specific effects resulting from the combination of the strains of both species. To evaluate the direct effects of urease on protocooperation, we generated 3 urease-deficient mutants (ΔureC) of fast- and slow-acidifying Strep. thermophilus strains and observed the effects of NH₃ or CO₂ supplementation on acidification by the ΔureC strains. Further, we examined 5 combinations of 3 urease-deficient ΔureC strains with 2 CO₂-responsive or CO₂-unresponsive strains of L. bulgaricus. Urease deficiency induced a shortage of ammonia nitrogen and CO₂ for the fast- and slow-acidifying Strep. thermophilus and for the CO₂-responsive L. bulgaricus, respectively. Notably, the shortage of ammonia nitrogen had more severe effects than that of CO₂ on yogurt fermentation, even if coculture with L. bulgaricus masked the effect of urease deficiency. Our work established (1) that urease deficiency inhibits the fermentative acceleration of protocooperation regardless of the Strep. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus strain combinations, and (2) that urease is an essential factor for effective yogurt acidification.     

Effect of 'ropy' strains of Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus on rheology of stirred yogurt

The TA-TX2 Texture Analyser and the Brookfield RVT Viscometer have been used to investigate the contribution of ropiness to the texture of stirred yogurts made using ropy strains of bacteria. Back extrusion and texture profile analysis, not commonly used to quantify rheological properties of semi-solid foods, have been found useful in distinguishing the contribution of exopolysaccharides to different texture attributes (Toba et al ., 1990). Thus ropiness, a characteristic which is imparted to the product as a result of fermentation with particular polysaccharide-producing strains, contributes to 'adhesiveness', while 'firmness' and 'elasticity' are likely to be influenced more by the protein matrix of the yogurt than by secretion of the polysaccharide by the ropy strains. Effects on viscosity and ability to recover viscosity after disruption were apparent, although the contribution of ropiness was not always positive. Ropy strains increased viscosity of stirred yogurts when compared to yogurt made with non-ropy cultures. But, whilst a ropy Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus (Lb r⁺) combined with a non-ropy Streptococcus thermophilus (St r⁻) produced a viscous product which recovered its viscosity well, a yogurt made by combining both ropy strains did not recover its viscosity as well as yogurt made by combining two non-ropy cultures and lost its structure more rapidly during the destructive testing. These results show therefore that inclusion of a ropy strain will not always lead to improved texture attributes, that while ropy strains may increase viscosity they may not influence 'firmness' and lend support to the view that this latter attribute is more influenced by protein–protein interactions.

Impact of a plant extract on the viability of Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus in nonfat yogurt

The effect of a plant extract (prepared from olive, garlic, onion and citrus with sodium acetate as a carrier) on the viability of yogurt starter cultures was studied. Nonfat yogurt was prepared with various levels of supplements: plant extract (0, 0.5 or 1.0%, w/v) or l-cysteine HCl (0.014 or 0.028%, w/w). Microbial and physicochemical analyses were conducted weekly for 50 days. Fermentation time increased for supplemented yogurts compared with the non-supplemented yogurt. Lactobacillus bulgaricus counts in supplemented yogurts were >6 log cfu mL^?1 for a longer time (7–21 days) compared with the non-supplemented yogurt. Streptococcus thermophilus counts in all yogurts were > 6 log cfu mL^?1 throughout the storage. Overall, redox potential and titratable acidity of yogurts on day 50 were greater compared with day 1, but pH and syneresis were less. Plant extract at 0.5% enhanced L. bulgaricus viability in nonfat yogurt while least affecting the physicochemical characteristics.

Selective enumeration of Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus,Streptococcus thermophilus,Lactobacillus acidophilus,bifidobacteria, Lactobacillus casei,Lactobacillus rhamnosus,and propionibacteria

Nineteen bacteriological media were evaluated to assess their suitability to selectively enumerate Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, bifidobacteria, and propionibacteria. Bacteriological media evaluated included Streptococcus thermophilus agar, pH modified MRS agar, MRS-vancomycine agar, MRS-bile agar, MRS-NaCl agar, MRS-lithium chloride agar, MRS-NNLP (nalidixic acid, neomycin sulfate, lithium chloride and paramomycine sulfate) agar, reinforced clostridial agar, sugar-based (such as maltose, galactose, sorbitol, manitol, esculin) media, sodium lactate agar, arabinose agar, raffinose agar, xylose agar, and L. casei agar. Incubations were carried out under aerobic and anaerobic conditions at 27, 30, 37, 43, and 45 degrees C for 24, 72 h, and 7 to 9 d. S. thermophilus agar and aerobic incubation at 37 degrees C for 24 h were suitable for S. thermophilus. L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus could be enumerated using MRS agar (pH 4.58 or pH 5.20) and under anaerobic incubation at 45 degrees C for 72 h. MRS-vancomycine agar and anaerobic incubation at 43 degrees C for 72 h were suitable to enumerate L. rhamnosus. MRS-vancomycine agar and anaerobic incubation at 37 degrees C for 72 h were selective for L. casei. To estimate the counts of L. casei by subtraction method, counts of L. rhamnosus on MRS-vancomycine agar at 43 degrees C for 72 h under anaerobic incubation could be subtracted from total counts of L. casei and L. rhamnosus enumerated on MRS-vancomycine agar at 37 degrees C for 72 h under anaerobic incubation. L. acidophilus could be enumerated using MRS-agar at 43 degrees C for 72 h or Basal agar-maltose agar at 43 degrees C for 72 h or BA-sorbitol agar at 37 degrees C for 72 h, under anaerobic incubation. Bifidobacteria could be enumerated on MRS-NNLP agar under anaerobic incubation at 37 degrees C for 72 h. Propionibacteria could be enumerated on sodium lactate agar under anaerobic incubation at 30 degrees C for 7 to 9 d. A subtraction method was most suitable for counting propionibacteria in the presence of other lactic acid bacteria from a product. For this method, counts of lactic bacteria at d 3 on sodium lactate agar under anaerobic incubation at 30 degrees C were subtracted from counts at d 7 of lactic bacteria and propionibacteria.

Rheological and physical characteristics of non-fat set yogurt prepared with EPS-producing Streptococcus thermophilus and an H+-ATPase-defective mutant Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus

The rheological and physical characteristics of non-fat set yogurt produced using co-cultures of ropy EPS-producing Streptococcus thermophilus S3.3 and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus LTM and of Streptococcus thermophilus S3.3 and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus H+-ATPase-defective mutant L6 under different conditions were studied. Yogurts produced with mutant L6 had a higher pH and water-holding capacity and better textural properties compared to those produced with the LTM strain. The highest storage modulus (G′) and thixotropic loops were found for yogurt made with L6 at 42°C on day 21 of cold storage. This yogurt contained a network of thick, continuous protein aggregates and large void spaces.     

A selective medium for the enumeration and differentiation of Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus

Modified reinforced clostridial medium (mRCM) was developed and evaluated for the differential enumeration of Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus. Lactobacillus bulgaricus, an important species of lactic acid bacteria with health benefits, is used in the production of yogurt and other fermented foods. Our results showed that supplementing reinforced clostridial medium with 0.025% CaCl₂, 0.01% uracil, and 0.2% Tween 80 (mRCM) significantly enhanced the growth rate of L. bulgaricus RR and ATCC 11842 strains as measured by the optical densities of these strains after 12 h of incubation at 42°C. The bacterial populations (plate count) of the RR and ATCC 11842 strains were 0.76 and 0.77 log cfu/g higher in mRCM than in de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe and reinforced clostridial medium media, respectively. Conversely, the population counts for other bacterial species (Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and Lactobacillus reuteri) were significantly inhibited in the mRCM medium. The addition of aniline blue dye to mRCM (mRCM-blue) improved the selectivity of L. bulgaricus in mixed lactic bacterial cultures compared with de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe medium and lactic agar with regard to colony appearance and morphology. The mRCM-blue performed better than the conventional medium in culturing, enumerating, and differentiating L. bulgaricus. Therefore, mRCM-blue could be used as a selective medium to enhance the growth and differentiation of L. bulgaricus in order to meet the increasing demand for this beneficial species of bacteria.

Selective and differential enumerations of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei and Bifidobacterium spp. in yoghurt--a review

Yoghurt is increasingly being used as a carrier of probiotic bacteria for their potential health benefits. To meet with a recommended level of ≥ 10⁶ viable cells/g of a product, assessment of viability of probiotic bacteria in market preparations is crucial. This requires a working method for selective enumeration of these probiotic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria in yoghurt such as Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Lb. acidophilus, Lb. casei and Bifidobacterium. This chapter presents an overview of media that could be used for differential and selective enumerations of yoghurt bacteria. De Man Rogosa Sharpe agar containing fructose (MRSF), MRS agar pH 5.2 (MRS 5.2), reinforced clostridial prussian blue agar at pH 5.0 (RCPB 5.0) or reinforced clostridial agar at pH 5.3 (RCA 5.3) are suitable for enumeration of Lb. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus when the incubation is carried out at 45 °C for 72 h. S. thermophilus (ST) agar and M17 are recommended for selective enumeration of S. thermophilus. Selective enumeration of Lb. acidophilus in mixed culture could be made in Rogosa agar added with 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-d-glucopyranoside (X-Glu) or MRS containing maltose (MRSM) and incubation in a 20% CO₂ atmosphere. Lb. casei could be selectively enumerated on specially formulated Lb. casei (LC) agar from products containing yoghurt starter bacteria (S. thermophilus and Lb. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus), Lb. acidophilus, Bifidobacterium spp. and Lb. casei. Bifidobacterium could be enumerated on MRS agar supplemented with nalidixic acid, paromomycin, neomycin sulphate and lithium chloride (MRS-NPNL) under anaerobic incubation at 37 °C for 72 h.

Relationship between Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus under whey conditions: Focus on amino acid formation

In this study, we performed microarray experiments using Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus 2038 cultured with or without Streptococcus thermophilus in whey medium to investigate nitrogen utilisation of these two strains, since Lb. bulgaricus 2038 use whey as their nitrogen before casein. For the utilisation of environmental free amino acids and peptides in co-culture, Lb. bulgaricus 2038 imported the types of peptides necessary for growth more effectively compared with monoculture because S. thermophilus primarily preferred different types of peptides than Lb. bulgaricus, but has lost the ability to prioritise the use of free branched-chain amino acids. Considering the ratio of nitrogen versus carbon being lower during co-culture, Lb. bulgaricus 2038 was induced to stop converting aspartate into carbon-skeleton intermediates which is catalysed by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. Despite mutualism, Lb. bulgaricus underwent competitive co-evolution with S. thermophilus to optimise nitrogen utilisation during co-cultivation.     

Molecular methods for identification of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus using methionine biosynthesis and 16S rRNA genes

Yoghurt and starter culture producers are still searching strains of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus to produce healthier yogurt with longer shelf life, better texture, taste and quality. However, selective identification of Lb. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Strep. thermophilus from a mixed population using microbiological and biochemical methods is difficult, time consuming and may not be accurate. In this study, a quick, sensitive and accurate method is proposed to identify both Lb. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Strep. thermophilus using PCR. The method is comprised of two parts. In the first part, methionine biosynthesis genes, known to be present in both species were partially amplified by designed primers (cysmet2F and cysmet2R). Partial amplification of the methionine biosynthesis gene which gives 700 bp fragment resulted in selective identification of Lb. bulgaricus and Strep. thermophilus. All 16 Lb. bulgaricus and 6 Strep. thermophilus isolates assessed by this method gave the expected amplification. On the other hand, further analysis of other closely related species with the same primers have indicated that the same product was also amplified in two more lactobacilli namely, Lb. delbrueckii subsp. lactis and Lb. helveticus species. Thus, in the second part of the method, further differentiation of Lb. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Strep. thermophilus from each other and these species was achieved using restriction analysis of 16S rRNA gene with EcoRI.     

Effects of glutathione on acid stress resistance and symbiosis between Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus

Streptococcus thermophilus SDMCC18 contains a novel bi-functional glutathione synthetase gene gshF, and it can produce glutathione (GSH). In the present study, we demonstrated that the produced GSH by S. thermophilus SDMCC18 could protect cells against acid challenge and be secreted into the medium. Moreover, using a gshF-defective mutant strain as the control, we found that the GSH conferred a protective role against acid stress to Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus ATCC11842. In addition, L. bulgaricus ATCC11842 could import the exogenous GSH into the cytoplasm, leading to an improved growth of strain ATCC11842. Taken together, our study reported a novel proto-cooperation relationship between S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus in yoghurt fermentation.
