Isolation and Identification of Lactococcus lactis and Its in Vitro Gastrointestinal Tolerance and Adhesion
With the prohibition of antibiotics, sub-health issues in livestock and poultry production have attracted increasing attention, and the screening of high-performance probiotics has evolved into a key approach to tackle this prominent industrial challenge. In this study, cow milk was used as the sample source to screen Lactococcus lactis strains with excellent gastrointestinal tolerance and strong adhesion ability. Lactic acid bacteria were isolated and purified using MRS-CaCO3 selective medium, and the isolated strains were identified as Lactococcus lactis through morphological observation, biochemical tests and 16S rDNA molecular identification. Subsequently, the gastrointestinal tolerance of Lactococcus lactis was evaluated via tests of resistance to artificial gastrointestinal fluid, acid resistance and bile salt resistance, while the surface adhesion ability of the strains was assessed by determining the auto-aggregation rate, hydrophobicity rate, co-aggregation rate with pathogenic bacteria and biofilm formation ability. The results showed that a total of 3 strains of Lactococcus lactis (H1-H3) were isolated in this study. Their survival rates in artificial gastric juice and intestinal juice for 3 hours were as high as 104.9%-171.0% and 99.3%-234.2%, respectively, and the survival rates gradually increased with the increase of pH (3.0-5.0) (P<0.05). In addition, the three strains exhibited certain bile salt tolerance, with survival rates ranging from 18.6% to 57.5% at bile salt concentrations of 0.1% to 0.3%. Meanwhile, all three strains were sensitive to 5 antibiotics, including enrofloxacin, erythromycin, penicillin, doxycycline and streptomycin, indicating their high biological safety. In terms of surface adhesion characteristics, the auto-aggregation rates of strains H1, H2 and H3 were 17.52%, 52.93% and 48.47%, respectively, and their hydrophobicity rates were 10.40%, 56.55% and 54.39%, respectively. Moreover, the co-aggregation rates of the three strains with Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were all above 78%, and all strains showed strong biofilm formation ability. In conclusion, the three isolated Lactococcus lactis strains possess strong gastrointestinal tolerance, among which strain H2 presents more prominent adhesion ability. This strain can provide excellent strain resources for the development and application of feed probiotics for livestock.

The human gastrointestinal tract is colonised by a complex ecosystem of microorganisms. Intestinal bacteria are not only commensal, but they also undergo a synbiotic co-evolution along with their host. Beneficial intestinal bacteria have numerous and important functions, e.g., they produce various nutrients for their host, prevent infections caused by intestinal pathogens, and modulate a normal immunological response. Therefore, modification of the intestinal microbiota in order to achieve, restore, and maintain favourable balance in the ecosystem, and the activity of microorganisms present in the gastrointestinal tract is necessary for the improved health condition of the host. The introduction of probiotics, prebiotics, or synbiotics into human diet is favourable for the intestinal microbiota. They may be consumed in the form of raw vegetables and fruit, fermented pickles, or dairy products. Another source may be pharmaceutical formulas and functional food. This paper provides a review of available information and summarises the current knowledge on the effects of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics on human health. The mechanism of beneficial action of those substances is discussed, and verified study results proving their efficacy in human nutrition are presented.

In an intestinal system with a balanced microbial diversity, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are the key element which prevents the colonization and invasion of gut pathogens. Adhesion ability is important for the colonization and competition abilities of LAB. The aim of this study was to determine the adhesion and competition abilities of LAB by using a whole-tissue model. Indigenous strains were isolated from spontaneously fermented foods like cheese and pickles. The aggregation and competition abilities of the isolates were determined, as well as their resistance to gastrointestinal conditions. Four strains and one strain were found to be highly competitive against three major gut pathogens, namely, and Enteritidis. Tested strains decreased the number of pathogens to below their disease-causing levels. According to the results, the numbers of and bacteria decreased by an average of 3 log, and their adhesion rates decreased by approximately 50%. However, the number of Enteritidis bacteria was decreased by only 1 log compared with its initial number. We thought that the weak effect on was due to its possession of many virulence factors. The results showed that natural isolates from sources other than human specimens like the strain in this study were quite competent when compared with the human isolates in terms of their adhesion to intestines and resistance to gastrointestinal tract conditions. It was also revealed that a whole-tissue model with all-natural layers can be successfully used in adhesion and competition tests.©2020 BMFH Press.

We isolated and characterized Limosilactobacillus reuteri PSC102 and evaluated its probiotic, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. We preliminarily isolated 154 candidates from pig feces and analyzed their Gram nature, morphology, and lactic acid production ability. Based on the results, we selected eight isolates and tested their ability to produce digestive enzymes. Finally, we identified one isolate using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, namely, L. reuteri PSC102. We tested its probiotic properties in vitro, including extracellular enzyme activities, low pH and bile salt tolerance, autoaggregation and coaggregation abilities, adhesion to Caco-2 cells, antibiotic susceptibility, and hemolytic and gelatinase activities. Antioxidant activity was determined using 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and 2-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt radical scavenging and reducing power assays. The antibacterial activity of this strain and its culture supernatant against enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli were evaluated using a time-kill assay and disk diffusion method, respectively. L. reuteri PSC102 exhibited tolerance toward low pH and bile salt and did not produce harmful enzymes or possess hemolytic and gelatinase activities. Its intact cells and cell-free extract exhibited potential antioxidant activities, and significantly inhibited the growth of enterotoxigenic E. coli. Our results demonstrate that L. reuteri PSC102 is a potential probiotic candidate for developing functional feed.

\n The survival and the physiology of lactococcal cells in the different compartments of the digestive tracts of rats were studied in order to know better the fate of ingested lactic acid bacteria after oral administration. For this purpose, we used strains marked with reporter genes, the\n luxA-luxB\n gene of\n Vibrio harveyi\n and the\n gfp\n gene of\n Aequora victoria\n, that allowed us to differentiate the inoculated bacteria from food and the other intestinal bacteria. Luciferase was chosen to measure the metabolic activity of\n Lactococcus lactis\n in the digestive tract because it requires NADH, which is available only in metabolically active cells. The green fluorescent protein was used to assess the bacterial lysis independently of death. We report not only that specific factors affect the cell viability and integrity in some digestive tract compartments but also that the way bacteria are administrated has a dramatic impact. Lactococci which transit with the diet are quite resistant to gastric acidity (90 to 98% survival). In contrast, only 10 to 30% of bacteria survive in the duodenum. Viable cells are metabolically active in each compartment of the digestive tract, whereas most dead cells appear to be subject to rapid lysis. This property suggests that lactococci could be used as a vector to deliver specifically into the duodenum the proteins produced in the cytoplasm. This type of delivery vector would be particularly appropriate for targeting digestive enzymes such as lipase to treat pancreatic deficiencies.\n

Changes in the cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) of probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus La5 and Bifidobacterium lactis Bb12 and the survival of these cells were examined in response to varied cultivation conditions and adverse environmental conditions. An inverse linear relationship (P < 0.01) was detected between the CSH of intact L. acidophilus La5 and B. lactis Bb12 and survival of cells subjected to subsequent freezing/thawing, long-term storage or exposure to mineral and bile acids. The observed relationships were supported by significant correlations between the CSH and changes in composition of the cell envelopes (proteins, lipids and carbohydrates) of L. acidophilus La5 and B. lactis Bb12 examined using FT-IR spectroscopy and conventional biochemical analysis methods. The results also suggest that the estimates of hydrophobicity, being a generalized characteristic of cell surfaces, are important parameters to predict the ability of intact probiotic bacteria to endure extreme environments and therefore should be monitored during cultivation. A defined balance of cell components, which can be characterized by the reduced CSH values, apparently helps to ensure the resistance, improved viability and hence the overall probiotic properties of bacteria.
