Project description:In this study, a young Cheddar curd was used to produce two types of surface-ripened cheese, using two commercial smear-culture mixes of yeasts and bacteria. Whole-metagenome shotgun sequencing was used to screen the microbial population within the smear-culture mixes and on the cheese surface, with comparisons of microorganisms at both the species and the strain level. The use of two smear mixes resulted in the development of distinct microbiotas on the surfaces of the two test cheeses. In one case, most of the species inoculated on the cheese established themselves successfully on the surface during ripening, while in the other, some of the species inoculated were not detected during ripening and the most dominant bacterial species, Glutamicibacter arilaitensis, was not a constituent of the culture mix. Generally, yeast species, such as Debaryomyces hansenii and Geotrichum candidum, were dominant during the first stage of ripening but were overtaken by bacterial species, such as Brevibacterium linens and G. arilaitensis, in the later stages. Using correlation analysis, it was possible to associate individual microorganisms with volatile compounds detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in the cheese surface. Specifically, D. hansenii correlated with the production of alcohols and carboxylic acids, G. arilaitensis with alcohols, carboxylic acids and ketones, and B. linens and G. candidum with sulfur compounds. In addition, metagenomic sequencing was used to analyze the metabolic potential of the microbial populations on the surfaces of the test cheeses, revealing a high relative abundance of metagenomic clusters associated with the modification of color, variation of pH, and flavor development. IMPORTANCE Fermented foods, in particular, surface-ripened cheese, represent a model to explain the metabolic interactions which regulate microbial succession in complex environments. This study explains the role of individual species in a heterogeneous microbial environment, i.e., the exterior of surface-ripened cheese. Through whole-metagenome shotgun sequencing, it was possible to investigate the metabolic potential of the resident microorganisms and show how variations in the microbial populations influence important aspects of cheese ripening, especially flavor development. Overall, in addition to providing fundamental insights, this research has considerable industrial relevance relating to the production of fermented food with specific qualities.

Project description:The cheese microbial community is dense with relatively low complexity and composed of cultivable prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms. The ripening process can thus be reproduced under controlled conditions. A reduced microbial community composed of yeasts and bacteria was assembled to mimic that of smear-ripened cheese. The genomes of the microorganisms have been sequenced and annotated, which allows access to gene expression under various conditions at different ripening times. Through the use of a combined approach using omics (e.g. metatranscriptomics, volatilomics), and biochemical/microbial analyses, we have investigated the effect of a biotic perturbation, omission of some yeast, on the stability and functionality of the microbial cheese community throughout ripening.

Project description:The organoleptic quality of cocoa beans relies on a combination of factors that include post-harvest processing and the genotype. Fine-flavor genotypes are characterized by their great organoleptic quality. Among these, the difference between the content of the storage proteins and endogenous enzymes from unfermented genotypes with contrasting organoleptic attributes are still poorly explored. Thus, in this study, the proteomic analysis of unfermented cocoa beans from four genotypes including CCN51, EET19, P7 and PA121 with different organoleptic profiles was performed. A total of 2015 proteins were identified, of which 198 were found significant differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) with respect to EET19 compared to at least one pairwise genotypes comparison. PCA was a useful tool to differentiate cocoa bean genotypes based on their DAPs. The higher abundant storage proteins were found in the high-flavor genotypes. Overall, this study shows that enzymes related to the release of flavor precursors are significantly differentially more expressed in the genotypes analysed

Project description:The intra sub-species diversity of six strains of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis was investigated at the genomic level and in terms of phenotypic and transcriptomic profiles in UF-cheese model. Six strains were isolated from various sources, but all are exhibiting a dairy phenotype. Our results showed that, the six strains exhibited small phenotypic differences since similar behaviour in terms of growth was obtained during cheese ripening while only different acidification capability was detected. Even if all strains displayed high genomic similarities, sharing a high core genome of almost two thousands genes, the expression of this core genome directly in the cheese matrix revealed major strain-specific differences. This strains with the same dairy origin.

Project description:RNA-seq was used in combination with various analytical chemistry approaches to identify the chemical and genetic basis of pigment production of the bacterium Glutamicibacter arilaitensis when growing on cheese. This bacterium commonly found in cheese rinds where it co-occurs with Penicillium species and other molds. Pinkish-red pigments are produced by the bacterium in response to growth with Penicillium. Both chemical analyses and RNA-seq point to coproporphyrin III as the major metabolite leading to pigment formation.

Project description:Precise control of the delivery of therapeutic proteins is critical for gene- and cell-based therapies, and expression should only be switched on in the presence of a specific trigger signal of appropriate magnitude. Focusing on the advantages of delivering the trigger by inhalation, we have developed a mammalian synthetic gene switch that enables regulation of transgene expression by exposure to the semi-volatile small molecule acetoin, a widely used, FDA-approved food flavor additive. The gene switch capitalizes on the bacterial regulatory protein AcoR fused to a mammalian transactivator, which binds to promoter regions with specific DNA sequences in the presence of acetoin and dose-dependently activates expression of downstream transgenes. Wild-type mice implanted with alginate-encapsulated cells transgenic for the acetoin gene switch showed a dose-dependent increase in blood levels of reporter protein in response to either administration of acetoin solution via oral gavage or longer exposure to acetoin aerosol generated by a commercial portable inhaler. Intake of typical acetoin-containing foods, such as butter, lychees and cheese, did not activate transgene expression. As a proof of concept, we show that blood glucose levels were normalized by acetoin aerosol inhalation in type-I diabetic mice implanted with acetoin-responsive insulin-producing cells. Delivery of trigger molecules using portable inhalers may facilitate regular administration of therapeutic proteins via next-generation cell-based therapies to treat chronic diseases for which frequent dosing is required.
