ABSTRACT: We established the co-culture model of iPS cell-derived crypt-villus structural small intestine and lactic acid bacteria (LABs). Using this model, the effect of TNF-α, IFN-γ and LABs (Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus 2038 and Streptococcus thermophilus 1131) on the cells was evaluated.
Project description:We performed the long-term administration experiment using a yogurt fermented with Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus 2038 and Streptococcus thermophilus 1131 (LB81 yogurt) for 20 months in order to understand the effects of the long-term intake of probiotics on mice. Microarrays were used to compare the gene expressions of the intestine, liver and spleen tissues between control mice and LB81 yogurt-intake mice at 28 months of age. Abbreviations used: A, LB81 yogurt-intake mice; C, control mice
Project description:Many food fermentations are carried out by mixed cultures of lactic acid bacteria. Interactions between strains are of key importance for the performance of these fermentations. Yoghurt fermentation by Streptoccus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus (L.bulgaricus) is one of the best-described mixed culture fermentations. These species stimulate each other’s growth by the exchange of metabolites such as folic acid and carbon dioxide. Recently, post-genomic studies have been applied to reveal the global physiological response to mixed culture growth in S. thermophilus, but an in-depth molecular analysis of mixed culture growth of both strains remains to be established. Here we report the application of mixed culture transcriptome profiling and a systematic analysis of candidate interaction compounds on growth, which allowed the unraveling of the molecular responses associated with co-culture growth in batch of S. thermophilus CNRZ1066 and L. bulgaricus ATCC BAA-365 in milk.

Comparisons of mono cultures versus mixed cultures, at four time-points in batch fermentation, and comparisons between the four time-points within each fermentation, all in duplicate
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus 2038 during the growth in casein proteins conditioned medium compared with the start control (cells treated in whey conditioned medium). Identifying the genes that are differentially expressed during the growth of Lb. bulgaricus 2038 in casein proteins condition provides a starting point for the investigation of metabolic mechanisms.
Project description:Understanding how the human gut microbiota and host are impacted by probiotic bacterial strains requires carefully controlled studies in humans, and in mouse models of the gut ecosystem where potentially confounding variables that are difficult to control in humans can be constrained. Therefore, we characterized the fecal microbiomes and metatranscriptomes of adult female monozygotic twin pairs through repeated sampling 4 weeks prior to, 7 weeks during, and 4 weeks following consumption of a commercially-available fermented milk product (FMP) containing a consortium of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis, two strains of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, and Streptococcus thermophilus. In addition, gnotobiotic mice harboring a 15-species model human gut microbiota whose genomes contain 58,399 known or predicted protein-coding genes were studied prior to and after gavage with all five sequenced FMP strains.

Project description:The present study aims to explore chemostat-based transcriptome analysis of mixed cultures by investigating interactions between the yeast S. cerevisiae and the lactic acid bacterium L. bulgaricus . S. cerevisiae and L. bulgaricus are both frequently encountered in kefir, a fermented dairy product. In the context of this study, this binary culture serves as a model for the many traditional food and beverage fermentation processes in which yeasts and lactic acid bacteria occur together. The design of the cultivation conditions was based on the observation that L. bulgaricus, but not S. cerevisiae, can use lactose as a carbon source for growth and that S. cerevisiae, but not L. bulgaricus, can grow on galactose that is released upon hydrolysis of lactose by the bacterial β-galactosidase. Mixed populations of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria occur in many dairy, food and beverage fermentations, but knowledge about their interactions is incomplete. In the present study, interactions between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, two microorganisms that co-occur in kefir fermentations, were studied during anaerobic growth on lactose. By combining physiological and transcriptome analysis of the two strains in the co-cultures, five mechanisms of interaction were identified. 1. L. bulgaricus hydrolyses lactose, which cannot be metabolized by S. cerevisiae, to galactose and glucose. Subsequently, galactose, which cannot be metabolized by L. bulgaricus, is excreted and provides a carbon source for yeast. 2. In pure cultures, L. bulgaricus only grows at increased CO2 concentrations. In anaerobic mixed cultures, the yeast provides this CO2 via alcoholic fermentation. 3. Analysis of amino acid consumption from the defined medium indicated that S. cerevisiae supplied alanine to the bacteria. 4. A mild but significant low-iron response in the yeast transcriptome, identified by DNA microarray analysis, was consistent with the chelation of iron by the lactate produced by L. bulgaricus. 5. Transcriptome analysis of L. bulgaricus in mixed cultures showed an overrepresentation of transcripts involved in lipids metabolism suggesting either a competition of the two microorganisms for fatty acids, or a response to the ethanol produced by S. cerevisiae.
Project description:The present study aims to explore chemostat-based transcriptome analysis of mixed cultures by investigating interactions between the yeast S. cerevisiae and the lactic acid bacterium Lb. bulgaricus . S. cerevisiae and Lb. bulgaricus are both frequently encountered in kefir, a fermented dairy product (25). In the context of this study, this binary culture serves as a model for the many traditional food and beverage fermentation processes in which yeasts and lactic acid bacteria occur together (19,26-30). The design of the cultivation conditions was based on the observation that Lb. bulgaricus, but not S. cerevisiae, can use lactose as a carbon source for growth and that S. cerevisiae, but not Lb. bulgaricus, can grow on galactose that is released upon hydrolysis of lactose by the bacterial M-NM-2-galactosidase. Mixed populations of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria occur in many dairy, food and beverage fermentations, but knowledge about their interactions is incomplete. In the present study, interactions between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, two microorganisms that co-occur in kefir fermentations, were studied during anaerobic growth on lactose.

Transcriptome analysis of Lb. bulgaricus in mixed cultures showed an overrepresentation of transcripts involved in lipids metabolism suggesting either a competition of the two microorganisms for fatty acids, or a response to the ethanol produced by S. cerevisiae. To our knowledge, this is the first transcriptome study of a cross-kingdom binary mixed culture that analyses responses of both microorganisms. This study demonstrates that chemostat-based transcriptome analysis is a powerful tool to investigated microbial interaction in mixed populations. To investigate the impact of of co-cultivation with Lb. bulgaricus on S. cerevisiae, a DNA microarray-based transcriptome analysis of S. cerevisiae's response was performed on anaerobic, lactose-limited chemostat cultures grown in the presence and absence of L. bulgaricus.
