Project description:Comparative profiling of fresh-cut lettuce samples treated with an alternative washing solution (PAA) with respect to standard treated samples STD (SH-treated).We generated a comprehensive repertory of transcripts useful to study the global change induced by two sanitizer in different time points of storage (T1, T3, and T6).

Project description:Baby leaves of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) are widely used to produce ready-to-eat salads all around the year. For this purpose, lettuce plants are cultivated under plastic tunnels and harvested at a very early growth stage, between 30-45 days after sowing depending on the season, cultivar and site of cultivation. Usually, the plastic film covering the cultivation tunnels transmits only a very small amount of the solar UVB radiation and partially attenuates UVA radiation. We used UV treatment post-harvest of fresh-cut lettuce baby leaves to compare the efficiency of two UV emission wavebands centred at 306 and 366 nm (achieved by employing narrow-band UV LEDs sources) to identify putative transcriptomic signatures. The analyses have been carried out supported by and in the frame of Project @CNR 2021, Title "EnhAncement of Natural anTIviral Compounds in ready- to-eat Vegetables", Acronym: ANTI-CoV to Dr. G. Agati. IDP-NAHEP, ICAR, Govt of India to A.R.B.

Project description:Leafy green vegetables, such as lettuce, have been increasingly implicated in outbreaks of foodborne illnesses due to contamination by Escherichia coli O157:H7. While E. coli can survive in soils, colonize plants, and survive on produce, very little is known about the interaction of E. coli with the roots of growing lettuce plants. In these studies a combination of microarray analyses and microbial genetics were used to gain a comprehensive understanding of bacterial genes involved in the colonization and growth of E. coli K12 on lettuce roots using a hydroponic assay system. Here we report that after three days of interaction with lettuce roots, 193 and 131 genes were significantly up-regulated and down-regulated at least 1.5 fold, respectively. Forty-five out of the 193 up-regulated genes (23%) were involved in protein synthesis and were highly induced. Genes involved in stress response, attachment and biofilm formation were up-regulated in E. coli when they interacted with lettuce roots under conditions of hydroponic growth. In particular crl, a gene regulating the cryptic csgA gene for curli production, was significantly up regulated. The crl, csgA and fliN mutants had a reduced capacity to attach to roots as determined by bacterial counts and by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Our microarray data showed that E. coli K12 increased the synthesis of proteins indicated that a dramatic change was induced in the physiology of the microorganism. This study indicates that E. coli K12 can efficiently colonize lettuce roots by using attachment and biofilm modulation genes and can readily adapt to the rhizosphere of lettuce plants. Further studies are needed to better characterize this interaction in pathogenic strains of this species. Escherichia coli MG1655 strains were grown in the lettuce rhizosphere for three days. Transcriptional profiling of E. coli was compared between cells grown with and without rhizosphere . Three biological replicates of each treatment were prepared, and six microarray slides were used.

Project description:Increasing evidence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on fresh plant-based foods raises food safety concerns. While internalization of pathogens such as Salmonella enterica in vegetables such as lettuce is well documented, corresponding data for P. aeruginosa are lacking. Moreover, climate change-associated temperature shifts may influence the plant microbiota and the presence of human pathogens. This study investigates the internalization and temperature-dependent gene expression of P. aeruginosa PAO1 on green oak leaf lettuce as a model system. For this purpose, oak leaf lettuce was cultivated in soil inoculated with P. aeruginosa PAO1_sfGFP_UHH07, and internalization was analyzed using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Temperature-dependent transcriptomic changes of P. aeruginosa PAO1 were assessed by analyzing differentially expressed genes following plant inoculation and incubation at 18 and 22 °C, respectively. P. aeruginosa PAO1 is capable of internalizing into the roots of oak leaf lettuce, but a translocation into leaves was not detected. Transcriptomic analyses showed that a moderate temperature increase shifts bacterial gene expression, with virulence genes upregulated at 22 °C and persistence-associated genes predominating at 18 °C. These results show that temperature influences the persistence and pathogenic potential of P. aeruginosa present on oak leaf lettuce, highlighting potential impacts of climate change on food safety.
