Reduction in Biogenic Amine Content in Baechu (Napa Cabbage) Kimchi by Biogenic Amine-Degrading Lactic Acid Bacteria.

ABSTRACT: This study was performed to mine biogenic amine (BA)-degrading lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from kimchi and to investigate the effects of the LAB strains on BA reduction in Baechu kimchi fermentation. Among 1448 LAB strains isolated from various kimchi varieties, five strains capable of considerably degrading histamine and/or tyramine were selected through in vitro tests and identified as Levilactobacillus brevis PK08, Lactiplantibacillus pentosus PK05, Leuconostoc mesenteroides YM20, L. plantarum KD15, and Latilactobacillus sakei YM21. The selected strains were used to ferment five groups of Baechu kimchi, respectively. The LB group inoculated with L. brevis PK08 showed the highest reduction in tyramine content, 66.65% and 81.89%, compared to the control group and the positive control group, respectively. Other BA content was also considerably reduced, by 3.76-89.26% (five BAs) and 7.87-23.27% (four BAs), compared to the two control groups, respectively. The other inoculated groups showed similar or less BA reduction than the LB group. Meanwhile, a multicopper oxidase gene was detected in L. brevis PK08 when pursuing the BA degradation mechanism. Consequently, L. brevis PK08 could be applied to kimchi fermentation as a starter or protective culture to improve the BA-related safety of kimchi where prolific tyramine-producing LAB strains are present.

Project description:Patterns of phyllosphere diversity have become increasingly clear with high-throughput sequencing surveys, but the processes that control phyllosphere diversity are still emerging. Through a combination of lab and field experiments using Napa cabbage and lactic acid bacteria (LAB), we examined how dispersal and establishment processes shape the ecological distributions of phyllosphere bacteria. We first determined the abundance and diversity of LAB on Napa cabbage grown at three sites using both culture-based approaches and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Across all sites, LAB made up less than 0.9% of the total bacterial community abundance. To assess whether LAB were low in abundance in the Napa cabbage phyllosphere due to a limited abundance in local species pools (source limitation), we quantified LAB in leaf and soil samples across 51 vegetable farms and gardens throughout the northeastern United States. Across all sites, LAB comprised less than 3.2% of the soil bacterial communities and less than 1.6% of phyllosphere bacterial communities. To assess whether LAB are unable to grow in the phyllosphere even if they dispersed at high rates (establishment limitation), we used a gnotobiotic Napa cabbage system in the lab with experimental communities mimicking various dispersal rates of LAB. Even at high dispersal rates, LAB became rare or completely undetectable in experimental communities, suggesting that they are also establishment limited. Collectively, our data demonstrate that the low abundance of LAB in phyllosphere communities may be explained by establishment limitation.IMPORTANCE The quality and safety of vegetable fermentations are dependent on the activities of LAB naturally present in the phyllosphere. Despite their critical role in determining the success of fermentation, the processes that determine the abundance and diversity of LAB in vegetables used for fermentation are poorly characterized. Our work demonstrates that the limited ability of LAB to grow in the cabbage phyllosphere environment may constrain their abundance on cabbage leaves. These results suggest that commercial fermentation of Napa cabbage proceeds despite low and variable abundances of LAB across different growing regions. Propagule limitation may also explain ecological distributions of other rare members of phyllosphere microbes.
