“…In particular, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG has been extensively studied, and is being marketed as a probiotic under the names Actifit Plus , Gefilus, LGG, Onaka He GG and VifitThus (Doron et al, 2005;Saxelin et al, 2005). Several literature reports have shown that LAB strains exhibit traits such as tolerance to low pH, digestive enzymes and bile (Begley et al, 2006;De Vries et al, 2006;Mukherjee et al, 2013;Ouwehand et al, 2002;Rastall et al, 2005). These traits are likely to empower LAB strains during gastrointestinal transit.…”

In the present study, the adhesion of bacteriocin-producing probiotic strains of Lactobacillus plantarum onto extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as collagen and mucin and their potential to prevent pathogen invasion onto the ECM was ascertained. Fluorescence-based in vitro assays indicated that L. plantarum strains CRA21, CRA38 and CRA52 displayed considerable adhesion to ECM molecules, which was comparable to the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. Flow cytometry-based quantitative assessment of the adhesion potential suggested that L. plantarum CRA21 exhibited superior adhesion onto the ECM as compared with other lactic acid bacteria strains. Furthermore, fluorescence-based assays suggested that the highest inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus adhesion onto collagen and mucin by bacteriocin-producing L. plantarum strains was observed in the exclusion mode as compared with the competition and displacement modes. This observation was supported by the higher binding affinity (k d ) for the ECM exhibited by the L. plantarum strains as compared with S. aureus. Interestingly, a crude plantaricin A extract from food isolates of L. plantarum displayed potent antibacterial activity on ECM-adhered S. aureus cells. It is envisaged that the L. plantarum isolates displaying bacteriocinogenic and ECM-adhering traits can perhaps be explored to develop safe antibacterial therapeutic agents.

“…However, to this point, experiments have focused on the CO 2 pressures required to kill the organisms using the model organism Lactobacillus plantarum in pressures between 0.04 and 2.5 MPa and beyond. Our work is the first work to examine long-term growth and survival under CO 2 stress in high aqueous CO 2 concentrations rather than just those of gaseous and supercritical CO 2 pressures (e.g., Hong and Pyun, 1999;Guerzoni et al, 2001;Spilimbergo and Bertucco, 2003;Damar and Balaban, 2006;De Vries et al, 2006).…”

Isolation and characterization of a CO2-tolerant Lactobacillus strain from Crystal Geyser, Utah, U.S.A.

When CO 2 is sequestered into the deep subsurface, changes to the subsurface microbial community will occur. Capnophiles, microorganisms that grow in CO 2 -rich environments, are some organisms that may be selected for under the new environmental conditions. To determine whether capnophiles comprise an important part of CO 2 -rich environments, an isolate from Crystal Geyser, Utah, U.S.A., a CO 2 -rich spring considered a carbon sequestration analog, was characterized. The isolate was cultured under varying CO 2 , pH, salinity, and temperature, as well as different carbon substrates and terminal electron acceptors (TEAs) to elucidate growth conditions and metabolic activity. Designated CG-1, the isolate is related (99%) to Lactobacillus casei in 16S rRNA gene identity, growing at PCO 2 between 0 and 1.0 MPa. Growth is inhibited at 2.5 MPa, but stationary phase cultures exposed to this pressure survive beyond 5 days. At 5.0 MPa, survival is at least 24 h. CG-1 grows in neutral pH, 0.25 M NaCl, and between 25 • and 45 • C and consumes glucose, lactose, sucrose, or crude oil, likely performing lactic acid fermentation. Fatty acid profiles between 0.1 and 1.0 MPa suggests decreases in cell size and increases in membrane rigidity. Transmission electron microscopy reveals rod shaped bacteria at 0.1 MPa. At 1.0 MPa, cells are smaller, amorphous, and produce abundant capsular material. Its ability to grow in environments regardless of the presence of CO 2 suggests we have isolated an organism that is more capnotolerant than capnophilic. Results also show that microorganisms are capable of surviving the stressful conditions created by the introduction of CO 2 for sequestration. Furthermore, our ability to culture an environmental isolate indicates that organisms found in CO 2 environments from previous genomic and metagenomics studies are viable, metabolizing, and potentially affecting the surrounding environment.

“…Other properties of probiotic organisms include, reduced deportment of pathogenic microorganism, lowered risk factors for coronary artery disease and a dose dependent reduction in the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (Vries et al, 2006). Several probiotics bacteria are found to produce bile salt hydrolase (BSH) that helps to reduce serum cholesterol (Miremadi et al, 2014) and hence BSH activity is also considered as an additional criterion for the selection of probiotics.…”
