Population Dynamics of Lactobacillus helveticus in Swiss Gruyère-Type Cheese Manufactured With Natural Whey Cultures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lactobacillus helveticus, a ubiquitous bacterial species in natural whey cultures (NWCs) used for Swiss Gruyère cheese production, is considered to have crucial functions for cheese ripening such as enhancing proteolysis. We tracked the diversity and abundance of L. helveticus strains during 6 months of ripening in eight Swiss Gruyère-type cheeses using a culture-independent typing method. The study showed that the L. helveticus population present in NWCs persisted in cheese and demonstrated a stable multi-strain coexistence during cheese ripening. With regard to proteolysis, one of the eight L. helveticus populations exhibited less protein degradation during ripening.

The advent of massive parallel sequencing technologies has opened up possibilities for the study of the bacterial diversity of ecosystems without the need for enrichment or single strain isolation. By exploiting 78 genome data-sets from Lactobacillus helveticus strains, we found that the slpH locus that encodes a putative surface layer protein displays sufficient genetic heterogeneity to be a s...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Lactobacillus helveticus Strain Lh 12 Isolated from Natural Whey Starter
Lactobacillus helveticus is a lactic acid bacterium widely used in cheese-making and for the production of bioactive peptides from milk proteins. Here, we describe the draft genome sequence and annotation of L. helveticus strain Lh 12 isolated from natural whey starter used in the production of Grana Padano cheese.

We investigated the effect of capsular and ropy exopolysaccharide-producing Streptococcus thermophilus starter bacteria on Mozzarella cheese functionality and whey viscosity. Mozzarella cheeses were manufactured with Lactobacillus helveticus LH100 paired with one of four S. thermophilus strains: MR-1C, a bacterium that produces a capsular exopolysaccharide; MTC360, a strain that secretes a ropy...

Exopolysaccharides from the lactose-negative yeast Rhodotorula glutinis 16P were synthe sized by co-cultivation with the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis MP11 or with the homofermentative lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus helveticus 9A in a cheese whey ultrafiltrate. Exopoly saccharides were produced by lactose hydrolysis, performed by two pathways: with ß-galactosidase from Kluyveromyces lactis M...
