Lactobacillus sakei: A Starter for Sausage Fermentation, a Protective Culture for Meat Products
نویسندگان
چکیده
Among lactic acid bacteria of meat products, Lactobacillus sakei is certainly the most studied species due to its role in the fermentation of sausage and its prevalence during cold storage of raw meat products. Consequently, the physiology of this bacterium regarding functions involved in growth, survival, and metabolism during meat storage and processing are well known. This species exhibits a wide genomic diversity that can be observed when studying different strains and on which probably rely its multiple facets in meat products: starter, spoiler, or protective culture. The emerging exploration of the microbial ecology of meat products also revealed the multiplicity of bacterial interactions L. sakei has to face and their various consequences on microbial quality and safety at the end of storage.

Bacteriocin-producing Lactobacillus sakei C2 as starter culture infermented sausages
Lactobacillus sakei C2, which could produce a bacteriocin with a broad inhibitory spectrum, have been proven to have certain probiotic potential. The practical application of L. sakei C2 as starter culture in the production of fermented sausage was investigated. During the sausage fermentation, L. sakei C2 established its prominent position in the microbial ecosystem, and, over 62.5% and 87.5% ...
متن کاملThe pentose moiety of adenosine and inosine is an important energy source for the fermented-meat starter culture Lactobacillus sakei CTC 494.
The genome sequence of Lactobacillus sakei 23K has revealed that the species L. sakei harbors several genes involved in the catabolism of energy sources other than glucose in meat, such as glycerol, arginine, and nucleosides. In this study, a screening of 15 L. sakei strains revealed that arginine, inosine, and adenosine could be used as energy sources by all strains. However, no glycerol catab...
متن کاملIdentification of Lactobacillus sakei genes induced during meat fermentation and their role in survival and growth.
Lactobacillus sakei is a lactic acid bacterium that is ubiquitous in the food environment and is one of the most important constituents of commercial meat starter cultures. In this study, in vivo expression technology (IVET) was applied to investigate gene expression of L. sakei 23K during meat fermentation. The IVET vector used (pEH100) contained promoterless and transcriptionally fused report...
متن کاملDestruction of Yersinia enterocolitica by Lactobacillus sake and Pediococcus acidilactici During Low-temperature Fermentation of Turkish Dry Sausage (sucuk)
Effects of starter cultures, Lactobacillus sake and Pediococcus acidilactici, on the survival of Yersinia enterocolitica were studied in Turkish dry sausage (sucuk). Inoculated Y. enterocolitica (approximately 5.0 log CFU/ g) was eliminated completely in sausages by L. sake (about 7.0 log CFU/g) and P. acidilactici (about 7.0 log CFU/g) by the 3rd d of fermentation but was not totally eliminate...
متن کاملFeatures of Lactobacillus Sakei Isolated from Italian Sausages: Focus on Strains from Ventricina del Vastese
In this study bacterial isolates from Ventricina del Vastese sausage, previously identified as Lactobacillus (L.) sakei, were characterised genotypically, physiologically and on the basis of some technologically relevant traits. A total of 70 L. sakei isolates from sausages manufactured with spontaneous fermentation in the same producing plant were taken into account. Six genotypic groups were ...
