چکیده

Capnophiles are bacteria stimulated by bicarbonate and CO2, the two major forms of inorganic carbon (IC) in physiological neutral liquids. Capnophiles are often pathogenic heterotrophs found in IC-rich ecological niches such as human cavities. Like capnophiles, the growth of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) such as Lactobacillus plantarum and Enterococcus faecalis is stimulated by IC. CO2 or HC are substrates in carbamoyl phosphate (CP) synthesis and other carboxylation reactions in amino acid and nucleotide biosynthesis. When media were supplemented with nucleotides and all the amino acids, potassium bicarbonate still stimulated L. plantarum growth. This suggests that IC may be involved in other aspects of L. plantarum physiology besides its implication as a substrate in carboxylation reactions. Carbonic anhydrase (CA) catalyses the hydration of CO2 into bicarbonate. Since inorganic carbon stimulated L. plantarum growth, we searched for CA encoding genes in LAB genomes. CA can be classified into three classes according to their protein relatedness: α, β and γ . A class α CA was found in the L. plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Streptococcus thermophilus, Oenococcus oeni, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium. These enterococci harboured a second CA encoding gene belonging to the γ class. No CA encoding gene was found in the Lactococcus lactis genome. These observations are discussed with regard to LAB evolution and ecological niches, which are often rich in IC. Lactic acid bacteria / Lactobacillus plantarum / carbon dioxide / bicarbonate / carbonic anhydrase Résumé – Effet du carbone inorganique sur le métabolisme des bactéries lactiques. Le carbone inorganique est trouvé principalement sous deux formes dans la plupart des milieux biologiques, le CO2 (sous forme de gaz ou dissous) et le bicarbonate (HC ). Le carbone inorganique stimule ou inhibe la croissance d’un certain nombre d’organismes. Le terme de capnophiles désigne les bactéries dont la croissance est facilitée ou nécessite des concentrations de CO2 plus élevées que celle de l’air. Ces bactéries à Gram négatif ou positif, chimio-organotrophes hétérotrophes, sont souvent trouvées dans la flore commensale ou pathogène de l’homme, et présentent un métabolisme aérobie strict ou anaérobie facultatif. Comme les capnophiles, les bactéries lactiques sont retrouvées dans divers environnements, souvent enrichis en carbone inorganique (tractus intestinal et vaginal, végétaux en décomposition ou fermentés). Le CO2 stimule la croissance de certaines bactéries lactiques (Lactobacillus, Enterococcus faecalis) et de bactéries relativement proches phylogénétiquement (Streptococcus pneumoniae). Mais le rôle du carbone inorganique dans le métabolisme de ces bactéries a été très peu étudié. On considérait que l’effet du CO2 chez ces hétérotrophes s’expliquait par son rôle de substrat dans les réactions de carboxylation. En analysant en détail l’effet du CO2 et du bicarbonate (HC ) sur sa croissance, nous avons pu proposer que les réactions de carboxylation seules n’expliquaient pas l’effet du carbone inorganique sur la croissance de L. plantarum, bactérie lactique que nous avons définie comme capnophile. * Corresponding author: [email protected] O3 –

198 Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from Iranian milk samples. Almost all isolatedLAB showed inhibitory activity towards E. coli and S. aureus as Gram negative and Grampositive indicators, respectively. No role was observed for hydrogen peroxide in the activity ofall isolated strains while organic acids proved a prominent role in all detected inhibitoryactivities. Within isolated LAB, ...

Correction: Organism-Adapted Specificity of the Allosteric Regulation of Pyruvate Kinase in Lactic Acid Bacteria

Pyruvate kinase (PYK) is a critical allosterically regulated enzyme that links glycolysis, the primary energy metabolism, to cellular metabolism. Lactic acid bacteria rely almost exclusively on glycolysis for their energy production under anaerobic conditions, which reinforces the key role of PYK in their metabolism. These organisms are closely related, but have adapted to a huge variety of nat...

Effect of Different Lactic Acid Bacteria on Phytic Acid Content and Quality of Whole Wheat Toast Bread

ABSTRACT: Nowadays, consumption of whole flours and flours with high extraction rate is recommended, because of their large amount of fiber, vitamins and minerals. Despite nutritional benefits of whole flours, concentration of some undesirable components such as phytic acid is higher than white flour. In this study, the effect of several sourdough lactic acid bacteria on toast bread was investi...
