Antibacterial Mechanism of Dellaglioa algida against Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas fragi

Abstract

Pseudomonas fluorescens (P. fluorescens) and Pseudomonas fragi (P. fragi), two kinds of psychrotrophic Pseudomonas species with pathogenicity, are likely to contaminate foods and cause diseases even in fairly cold environments, an outcome which should be suppressed. This paper investigates the antibacterial mechanisms of Dellaglioa algida (D. algida), a new type of low-temperature-resistant Lactobacillus, on two such Pseudomonas. By the enzyme treatment approach, the antibacterial substance existing in the cell-free supernatant (CFS) of D. algida is preliminarily determined as organic acid or protein; then, its inhibition effects are assessed under various culture environments, including pH value, salinity, and culture time, where the best antibacterial performance is achieved at pH = 6.00, S = 0%, and culture time = 48 h. A series of experiments on biofilms indicate that D. algida is not only able to inhibit the generation or damage the integrality of the biofilm of the two mentioned Pseudomonas, but also can reduce the motility, including swarming and swimming, of P. fragi and restrain the swarming of P. fluorescens. The aformentioned developed antibacterial mechanisms show the possibility of using D. algida in applications as an inhibitor for psychrotrophic Pseudomonas in the food industry, by virtue of its strong suppression capability, especially in cold environments.

“…(Cohen et al, 2007; Mohammad et al, 2022;Sun et al, 2022). Results in this study are in line with those of Adewale et al (2012), Mostafa et al (2018), Fatokun et al (2019), and Abu-Zaid et al (2021) who reported that the minimum bactericidal activity of Nahar (Mesua ferrea), clove (S.…”

The Effect of Vacuum Films on Physicochemical and Microbiological Characteristics of Hanwoo (Korean Native Cattle)

“…D. algida is known as facultatively anaerobic, psychrotrophic lactic acid bacteria, and is one of the representative microorganisms that cause spoilage in refrigerated meat ( Zheng et al, 2020 ). The cell-free supernatant of D. algida was reported to have a strong antibacterial effect against Pseudomonas fluorescens and P. fragi ( Sun et al, 2022 ). This is one of the suggestions that D. algida was the dominant species in vacuum-packaged beef, and Lactococcus spp.…”

Salmonella -induced microbiome profile in response to sanitation by quaternary ammonium chloride

“…The presence of Brochothrix in all the samples suggests that it may be a particularly prevalent or hardy bacterium in processing and floor drain environments. In addition to Brochothrix , the samples in this study contained several other genera commonly associated with food spoilage or pathogenicity ( 19 ). Pseudomonas is a common environmental bacterium that can reduce the shelf life of foods and opportunistic pathogens ( 20 ), and its survival implies biofilms limit efficacy.…”
