Abstract:
In this report, we describe the amino acid metabolism and
amino acid dependency of the dairy bacterium Streptococcus
thermophilus LMG18311 and compare them with those of two other
characterized lactic acid bacteria, Lactococcus lactis and
Lactobacillus plantarum. Through the construction of a
genome-scale metabolic model of S. thermophilus, the metabolic
differences between the three bacteria were visualized by
direct projection on a metabolic map. The comparative analysis
revealed the minimal amino acid auxotrophy (only histidine and
methionine or cysteine) of S. thermophilus LMG18311 and the
broad variety of volatiles produced from amino acids compared
to the other two bacteria. It also revealed the limited number
of pyruvate branches, forcing this strain to use the
homofermentative metabolism for growth optimization. In
addition, some industrially relevant features could be
identified in S. thermophilus, such as the unique pathway for
acetaldehyde (yogurt flavor) production and the absence of a
complete pentose phosphate pathway.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mutant Streptococcus thermophilus LMD-9 comR::lox72 (strain LF148) compared to mutant S. thermophilus LMD-9 DcomX (strain CB003) for the identification of the ComR regulon. Cells were grown in CDM medium supplemented with lactose 1% (CDML) and sampled at OD600 = 0.3~0.4 for mRNA extraction.

Project description:The manufacturing processes of commercial probiotic strains may be affected in different ways in the attempt to optimize yield, costs, functionality, or stability, influencing gene expression, protein patterns, or metabolic output. Aim of this work was to compare different samples of a high concentration (450 billion bacteria) multispecies (8 strains) formulation produced at two different manufacturing sites, USA (US) and Italy (IT), by applying functional proteomics analyses. Several protein-profile differences were detected between IT- and US-made products, with Lactobacillus paracasei, Streptococcus thermophilus, and Bifidobacteria being the main affected probiotics/microorganisms. Integration of omics platforms with in vivo analysis emerged as a powerful tool to assess manufacturing procedures.
