    Notes: Abstract The lactose metabolism was investigated in five strains of Lactobacillus curvatus and 14 strains of L. sake isolated from meat or meat-derived products. Strains with the ability to ferment lactose were found in both species. They exhibited either phospho-β-galactosidase (P-β-gal) or β-galactosidase (β-gal) activity, or both. P-β-gal activity of L. curvatus and L. sake was induced and detected only in the presence of lactose or galactose. Furthermore, catabolite repression by glucose was demonstrated. The immunological properties of the P-β-gal enzymes of these organisms resemble those of Lactococcus lactis. Several strains of L. sake but none of L. curvatus exhibited β-gal activity which was constitutive. In hybridisation experiments, the β-gal genes of L. sake and L. casei ATCC393 showed over 60% DNA-homology. The presence of β-gal genes in L. sake was demonstrated in both β-gal-producing and non-producing strains. This observations is consistent with a genetic potential of lactic acid bacteria exceeding their physiological capabilities.

    Notes: The effect of foodstuffs on the natural transformation of Bacillus subtilis was investigated. As examples of complex food matrices milk with various fat contents as well as chocolate milk were used. The frequencies of transformation varied with the fat content and ranged between 3.8×10−4 and 1.4×10−3. Highest frequencies of about 3×10−3 were observed in chocolate milk with 1.5% fat. Development of competence was observed in chocolate milk, resulting in maximal transformation frequencies upon incubation for 10–12 h at 37°C.

    Lactic acid bacteria in meat fermentation (1990)

    Notes: Abstract The main fermented meat products are fermented sausages in which lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are the essential agents of the ripening process. During indigenous fermentations Lactobacillus curvatus and L. sake are the dominating LAB. Their application as starter organisms ensures the dominance of the starter during the whole ripening process. The suppression of the competing fortuitous LAB depends on the quality of the raw materials and on technological factors. The physiological properties of lactic starters do not suffice to ensure a sensory quality which can be found in traditionally produced dry fermented sausages. Additional activities required are present in micrococci and yeasts which, therefore, are further components of starter culture preparations. Some strains of meat-borne lactobacilli exhibit the essential activities like nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase, catalase, lipase, and protease, respectively. To create the optimal starter cultures composed of lactobacilli, these activities have to be studied and optimized in strains of high competitiveness in the fermenting substrate.

    Notes: Abstract Plasmid profiles of strains of Lactobacillus curvatus and L. sake isolated from meat or sauerkraut were analysed to investigate plasmid homology and distribution in relation to the ecology of these organisms in fermenting foods. A hybridisation probe was constructed by cloning of pLc2, a cryptic, 2.6-kbp plasmid from L. curvatus LTH683, into the Escherichia coli plasmid pRV50. In Southern hybridisations with the digoxygenine labeled pLc2 probe, pLc2-related small plasmids were frequently detected in meat-borne strains of L. casei subsp. pseudoplantarum, L. curvatus, L. sake, L. alimentarius, L. farciminis and L. halotolerans and in L. curvatus and L. sake isolated from sauerkraut. Among 27 Lactobacillus type strains originally isolated from habitats other than meat this type of homology was detected only with plasmids of L. buchneri and L. mali. Restriction-enzyme mapping of six small cryptic plasmids from L. curvatus and L. sake revealed strong structural homology but not similarity to previously characterized plasmids of lactobacilli. The presence of a variable region in addition to a conserved one and the occurrence of deletions during cloning of pLc2 suggest that vectors derived from these plasmids are likely to be structurally unstable.

    Introduction of the transposon Tn919 into Lactobacillus curvatus Lc2-c (1989)

    Notes: Abstract The conjugative transposon Tn919 was introduced into the plasmid cured strain Lactobacillus curvatus Lc 2-c by means of filter mating. Enterococcus faecalis GF590 was used as donor. The transfer frequency was 2 × 10−7/recipient. Random insertion was proved by Southern hybridization. Segregation after 10 passages without selective pressure could not be detected. The transposition site remained unchanged and no subsequent second-site transposition occured.

    Utilisation of maltose and glucose by lactobacilli isolated from sourdough (1993)

    Notes: Abstract The utilisation of glucose and maltose was investigated with Lactobacillus strains isolated from sourdough starters. These preparations have been in continuous use for a long period to produce sourdough from rye, wheat and sorghum. The major metabolic products formed by resting cells from glucose or maltose were lactate, ethanol and acetate. Upon fermentation of maltose, resting cells of Lactobacillus sanfrancisco, L. reuteri, L. fermentum and Lactobacillus ep. released up to 13.8 mM glucose after 8 h. The ratio of released glucose per mol of utilised maltose was up to 1:1. Glucose formation was high when starved cells of L. sanfrancisco and Lactobacillus sp. were used. This is consistent with maltose utilisation via maltose phosphorylase which phosphorylates maltose without the expenditure of ATP and thus allows the cell to waste glucose in the presence of abundant maltose. The glucose formed may be utilised by the lactobacilli or other microorganisms, e.g. yeasts. However, the release of glucose into the medium by sourdough lactobacilli prevents competitors from utilising the abundant maltose by glucose repression. In strains of L. sanfrancisco, maltose utilisation was very effective and not subject to glucose repression. Therefore, they overgrow other microorganisms sharing this habitat. Wild isolates of L. sanfrancisco were initially unable to grow on glucose. Upon growth on maltose such strains required adaptation times of up to 150 h to grow on glucose. After subsequent transfer of glucose-grown cells to fresh medium the strains resumed growth both on glucose or maltose. They readily lost their ability to grow on glucose upon exposure to maltose. L. sanfrancisco exhibited biphasic growth characteristics on media containing glucose, maltose or both carbon sources. Evidence is provided that biphasic growth and metabolite formation are dependent on the redox potential.
