Amino Acid Biosynthesis and Proteolysis in Lactobacillus Bulgaricus Revisited: A Genomic Comparison
نویسندگان
چکیده
The amino acid biosynthesis and proteolytic system of Lactobacillus bulgaricus (L. bulgaricus) is important for its growth in niche-specific environments, as well as for flavour formation in the food industry. Comparative analyses of 4 completed sequences of the L. bulgaricus strain genome on a genomic scale revealed that genes involved in amino acids synthesis were undergoing reductive evolution. However, the selected industrial strains, namely, L. bulgaricus 2038 and L. bulgaricus ND02, retained more complete genes in the amino acid synthesis and proteolytic system category than the laboratory strains, and have some unique genes and pathways for obtaining amino acids that enable these bacteria to adapt to their various environmental niches.

Mixed-culture transcriptome analysis reveals the molecular basis of mixed-culture growth in Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus.
Many food fermentations are performed using mixed cultures of lactic acid bacteria. Interactions between strains are of key importance for the performance of these fermentations. Yogurt fermentation by Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus (basonym, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus) is one of the best-described mixed-culture fermentations. These species are believed...
متن کاملAutoregulation of the biosynthesis of the CcpA-like protein, PepR1, in Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp bulgaricus.
PepR1 from Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp bulgaricus (Lb. bulgaricus) is involved in biosynthesis regulation of the prolidase PepQ. In this paper, we demonstrated that Lb. bulgaricus PepR1 biosynthesis is not constitutive like those of several bacteria but is auto-regulated and depends on the glucose concentration of the culture medium. We propose a model for PepQ regulation by PepR1.
متن کاملIn silico prediction of horizontal gene transfer events in Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus reveals protocooperation in yogurt manufacturing.
Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, used in yogurt starter cultures, are well known for their stability and protocooperation during their coexistence in milk. In this study, we show that a close interaction between the two species also takes place at the genetic level. We performed an in silico analysis, combining gene composition and gene transfer mechanism-associated feat...

Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus (Lb. bulgaricus) is an important species of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) used for cheese and yogurt fermentation. The genome of Lb. bulgaricus 2038, an industrial strain mainly used for yogurt production, was completely sequenced and compared against the other two ATCC collection strains of the same subspecies. Specific physiological properties of strai...
متن کاملcsp-like genes of Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and their response to cold shock.
The two csp-like genes from the lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus were characterized and designated cspA and cspB. The gene cspA has been identified using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based approach with degenerated primers and further characterized using an inverse PCR strategy. cspA encodes a protein of 65 amino acid residues which displays between 81 and 77...
