Genome Sequence and Transcriptome Analysis of Meat-Spoilage-Associated Lactic Acid Bacterium Lactococcus piscium MKFS47.

ABSTRACT: Lactococcus piscium is a psychrotrophic lactic acid bacterium and is known to be one of the predominant species within spoilage microbial communities in cold-stored packaged foods, particularly in meat products. Its presence in such products has been associated with the formation of buttery and sour off-odors. Nevertheless, the spoilage potential of L. piscium varies dramatically depending on the strain and growth conditions. Additional knowledge about the genome is required to explain such variation, understand its phylogeny, and study gene functions. Here, we present the complete and annotated genomic sequence of L. piscium MKFS47, combined with a time course analysis of the glucose catabolism-based transcriptome. In addition, a comparative analysis of gene contents was done for L. piscium MKFS47 and 29 other lactococci, revealing three distinct clades within the genus. The genome of L. piscium MKFS47 consists of one chromosome, carrying 2,289 genes, and two plasmids. A wide range of carbohydrates was predicted to be fermented, and growth on glycerol was observed. Both carbohydrate and glycerol catabolic pathways were significantly upregulated in the course of time as a result of glucose exhaustion. At the same time, differential expression of the pyruvate utilization pathways, implicated in the formation of spoilage substances, switched the metabolism toward a heterofermentative mode. In agreement with data from previous inoculation studies, L. piscium MKFS47 was identified as an efficient producer of buttery-odor compounds under aerobic conditions. Finally, genes and pathways that may contribute to increased survival in meat environments were considered.

Project description:Mostly, lactic acid bacteria (LAB), including food-spoilage-associated, grow in communities consisting of several microbial species. The interspecies interactions eventually shape the structure and global activity of a given microbial community. Generally, the knowledge on system level responses of LAB (especially food-spoilage-associated) during such interactions is very limited. To study transcriptome responses during interactions between three MAP meat-spoilage-associated LAB (Leuconostoc gelidum subsp. gasicomitatum LMG 18811T, Lactococcus piscium MKFS47 and Lactobacillus oligofermentans LMG 22743T) we grew them separately in individual cultures and in mixed cultures pairwise (three combinations) and all together (triple culture) in three replicates on a glucose-containing growth medium (MRS) under microaerobic conditions at 25 C, samples were taken at three time points (3, 5 and 11 h) and extracted RNA were sequenced. The experiments were performed in two batches. At first (batch 1), co-cultivation of Le. gelidum and Lc. piscium accompanied with their individual cultures was performed and processed. The raw RNA-seq data for the individual culture of Lc. piscium from the batch 1 were uploaded earlier and are available in the ArrayExpress database under accession number E-MTAB-3245. Later (batch 2), two other pairwise cultures (Le. gelidum + Lb. oligofermentans and Lc. piscium + Lb. oligofermentans) and the triple culture were grown together with the individual cultures of all three LAB. Designations used for the sample names: G: Le. gelidum; P: Lc. piscium; O: Lb. oligofermentans; GO, PO, PG: pairwise cultures of the corresponding species; OPG: triple culture; b1: batch 1; b2: batch 2. Example: 3G2_b1: 3 h, Le. gelidum, 2nd replicate, batch 1; 11PO3_b2: 11 h, pairwise culture of Lc. piscium and Lb. oligofermentans, 3d replicate, batch 2. One sample (5PO3_b2) had very low number of reads ~ 9000, and, therefore, was not uploaded under this project. RNA extraction and library construction were done analogously as in the study (Andreevskaya M et al., 2015. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 81:38003811, doi: 10.1128/AEM.00320-15). Ribosomal RNA was omitted. Libraries were sequenced in five lanes using SOLiD 5500XL (Life technologies, Foster City, Ca, USA) to produce 75 bp single-end reads. For the data submission, xsq files obtained from SOLiD 5500XL machine, were converted into fastq files. Adapter sequences were removed using cutadapt 1.4.1.
