Comprehensive analysis of the metabolic and genomic features of tannin transforming Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strains.

ABSTRACT: Extracellular tannase Lactiplantibacillus plantarum-producing strains (TanA+) release bioactive metabolites from dietary tannins. However, there is a paucity of knowledge of TanA+ strains and their hydrolyzing capacities. This study aimed to shed light on the metabolic and genomic features of TanA+ L. plantarum strains and to develop a screening technique. The established spectrophotometric was validated by UPLC-UV-QToF. Eight of 115 screened strains harbored the tanA gene, and six presented TanA activity (PROBI S126, PROBI S204, RKG 1-473, RKG 1-500, RKG 2-219, and RKG 2-690). When cultured with tannic acid (a gallotannin), TanA+ strains released 3.2-11 times more gallic acid than a lacking strain (WCFS1) (p < 0.05). TanA+ strains with gallate decarboxylase (n = 5) transformed this latter metabolite, producing 2.2-4.8 times more pyrogallol than the TanA lacking strain (p < 0.05). However, TanA+ strains could not transform punicalagin (an ellagitannin). Genomic analysis revealed high similarity between TanA+ strains, as only two variable regions of phage and polysaccharide synthesis were distinguished. A phylogenetic analysis of 149 additional genome sequences showed that tanA harboring strains form a cluster and present two bacteriocin coding sequences profile. In conclusion, TanA+ L. plantarum strains are closely related and possess the ability to resist and transform gallotannins. TanA can be screened by the method proposed herein.

Project description:BackgroundLactiplantibacillus plantarum is a species found in a wide range of ecological niches, including vegetables and dairy products, and it may occur naturally in the human gastrointestinal tract. The precise mechanisms underlying the beneficial properties of these microbes to their host remain obscure. Although Lactic acid bacteria are generally regarded as safe, there are rare cases of the emergence of infections and antibiotic resistance by certain probiotics.ObjectiveAn in silico whole genome sequence analysis of putative probiotic bacteria was set up to identify strains, predict desirable functional properties, and identify potentially detrimental antibiotic resistance and virulence genes.MethodsWe characterized the genomes of three L. plantarum strains (54B, 54C, and 55A) isolated from Ethiopian traditional cottage cheese. Whole-genome sequencing was performed using Illumina MiSeq sequencing. The completeness and quality of the genome of L. plantarum strains were assessed through CheckM.ResultsAnalyses results showed that L. plantarum 54B and 54C are closely related but different strains. The genomes studied did not harbor resistance and virulence factors. They had five classes of carbohydrate-active enzymes with several important functions. Cyclic lactone autoinducer, terpenes, Type III polyketide synthases, ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides-like gene clusters, sactipeptides, and all genes required for riboflavin biosynthesis were identified, evidencing their promising probiotic properties. Six bacteriocin-like structures encoding genes were found in the genome of L. plantarum 55A.ConclusionsThe lack of resistome and virulome and their previous functional capabilities suggest the potential applicability of these strains in food industries as bio-preservatives and in the prevention and/or treatment of infectious diseases. The results also provide insights into the probiotic potential and safety of these three strains and indicate avenues for further mechanistic studies using these isolates.

Project description:This study investigates the genomic features and probiotic potential of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum HMX2, isolated from Chinese Sauerkraut, using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and bioinformatics for the first time. This study also aims to find genetic diversity, antibiotic resistance genes, and functional capabilities to help us better understand its food safety applications and potential as a probiotic. L. plantarum HMX2 was cultured, and DNA was extracted for WGS. Genomic analysis comprised average nucleotide identity (ANI) prediction, genome annotation, pangenome, and synteny analysis. Bioinformatics techniques were used to identify CoDing Sequences (CDSs), transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and antibiotic resistance genes, as well as to conduct phylogenetic analysis to establish genetic diversity and evolution. The study found a significant genetic similarity (99.17% ANI) between L. plantarum HMX2 and the reference strain. Genome annotation revealed 3,242 coding sequences, 65 tRNA genes, and 16 rRNA genes. Significant genetic variety was found, including 25 antibiotic resistance genes. A phylogenetic study placed L. plantarum HMX2 among closely related bacteria, emphasizing its potential for probiotic and food safety applications. The genomic investigation of L. plantarum showed essential genes, including plnJK and plnEF, which contribute to antibacterial action against foodborne pathogens. Furthermore, genes such as MurA, Alr, and MprF improve food safety and probiotic potential by promoting bacterial survival under stress conditions in food and the gastrointestinal tract. This study introduces the new genomic features of L. plantarum HMX2 about specific genetics and its possibility of relevant uses in food security and technologies. These findings of specific genes involved in antimicrobial activity provide fresh possibilities for exploiting this strain in forming probiotic preparations and food preservation methods. The future research should focus on the experimental validation of antibiotic resistance genes, comparative genomics to investigate functional diversity, and the development of novel antimicrobial therapies that take advantage of L. plantarum's capabilities.
