Metaproteomics of Jiuqu starter

ABSTRACT: Chinese starter Jiuqu, traditionally produced by spontaneous fermentation and always squeezed into bricks, serves as a vital saccharifying agent for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of Chinese Baijiu. It is important to reveal the key saccharifying microbiota and the driving force to improve the quality of Jiuqu. Here we studied the compositions of the microbiota by high-throughput amplicons sequencing analysis in Jiuqu, and revealed eight bacterial and seven fungal genera as the dominant community members. Among them, Lactobacillus, Aspergillus, Pichia, Saccharomyces, Rhizopus were the main contributors of proteins by metaproteomics analysis. Whereas, only Lactobacillus, Pichia, Rhizopus appeared as key actors for saccharification by secreting three glycosidases and two glycosyltransferases, and it indicated they were the key saccharifying microbiota in Jiuqu. Especially, Rhizopus secreted the most abundant glucoamylase. Interestingly, these three active genera significantly decreased and the key saccharifying enzymes were down-expressed, when Jiuqu was produced in diffused shape with a low volumetric weight. Rhizopus microsporus, the main producer of glucoamylase, was positively correlated with volumetric weight of Jiuqu. It indicated volumetric weight was the major driving force of the key saccharifying microbiota in Jiuqu. This work provides deep insights of key saccharifying microbiota, and indicates the main driving force for the key microbe. Furthermore, this finding can contribute to the improvement of saccharifying agent for food fermentation.

Project description:Background. Food can affect the microbial balance in the human intestine, and the ingestion of probiotics may play a role in the current obesity pandemic. The objective of our study was to determine if increased Lactobacillus spp. in the intestinal microflora of mice can promote growth and if changes in the intestinal microflora are associated with modifications in metabolism. Methodology. Female BALBc mice were divided between one control and two experimental groups and inoculated either once or twice with 4×1010 Lactobacillus per animal in PBS or with PBS alone. Fecal samples were collected and tested using qPCR to detect and quantify Lactobacillus spp., Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes. Gene expression by microarray and RT-PCR was studied in liver and adipose tissue. Finally, metabolic parameters in the plasma were tested. Principal Findings. In three independent experiments, we observed an increase in both weight gain and liver weight in mice inoculated with 4×1010 Lactobacillus. Inoculation with Lactobacillus sp. (ostrich) increased the Lactobacillus spp. and Firmicutes DNA copy number in feces. The transcriptional profile of liver tissue from mice inoculated with Lactobacillus sp. (ostrich) was enriched for Gene Ontology terms related to the immune response and metabolic modifications. The mRNA levels of fatty acyl synthase (Fas), sterol regulatory element binding factor 1 (Srebp1c), tumor necrosis factor alpha (Tnf), cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2e1) and 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (Pdpk1) were significantly elevated in liver tissue in experimental group animals. In gonadal adipose tissue, the expression of leptin, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (Pparg and Srebp1c was significantly higher in experimental group animals, whereas the expression of adiponectin was significantly lower. Conclusions. Alterations in the intestinal microbiota resulted in increased weight gain. Furthermore, increased Lactobacillus spp. in the intestinal microflora of mice inoculated with Lactobacillus sp. (ostrich) resulted in accelerated weight gain, liver enlargement and metabolic changes in the plasma, liver and adipose tissue.
