ABSTRACT In this paper we describe the growth, morphological, and genetic responses of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 to bile. Growth experiments revealed that a stepwise increase in the porcine bile concentration led to a gradual decrease in the maximal growth rate. Moreover, the final density reached by an L. plantarum culture growing in MRS containing 0.1% bile was approximately threefold lower than that in MRS lacking bile. The morphology of the cells grown in MRS containing 0.1% bile was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, which revealed that cells clumped together and had rough surfaces and that some of the cells had a shrunken and empty appearance, which clearly contrasted with the characteristic rod-shaped, smooth-surface morphology of L. plantarum cells grown in MRS without bile. An alr complementation-based genome-wide promoter screening analysis was performed with L. plantarum, which led to identification of 31 genes whose expression was potentially induced by 0.1% porcine bile. Remarkably, 11 membrane- and cell wall-associated functions appeared to be induced by bile, as were five functions involved in redox reactions and five regulatory factors. Moreover, the lp_0237 and lp_0775 genes, identified here as genes that are inducible by bile in vitro, were previously identified in our laboratory as important for L. plantarum in vivo during passage in the mouse gastrointestinal tract (P. A. Bron, C. Grangette, A. Mercenier, W. M. de Vos, and M. Kleerebezem, J. Bacteriol. 186:5721-5729, 2004). A quantitative reverse transcription-PCR approach focusing on these two genes confirmed that the expression level of lp_0237 and lp_0775 was significantly higher in cells grown in the presence of bile and cells isolated from the mouse duodenum than in cells grown on laboratory medium without bile.

This research was carried out to isolate and identify thermotolerant lactobacilli from broiler chicken gastrointestinal tract from Dhaka, Bangladesh. Twenty five thermotolerant Lactobacillus strains were isolated and identified as Lactobacillus species based on cultural characteristics, biochemical tests, and sugar fermentation. The probiotic are a live microbial feed supplements which positively affects the health of the host animal by improving its intestinal balance.The results showed only four among twenty five isolates were highly responded to probiotic criteria such as low pH tolerance (2.5), bile salt tolerance (2%) and sodium chloride salt tolerance (5%) in vitro, and were identified strains as Lactobacillus plantarum img-02, Lactobacillus plantarum img-08, Lactobacillus plantarum img-10 and Lactobacillus acidophilus img-14 according to Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology. Four isolates grow enough at 45°C and two isolates (Lactobacillus plantarum img-10 and Lactobacillus acidophilus img-14) heat stable at 60°C for 30 min. All the strains were showed protease activity on skim milk agar. These strains were resistance to commercial antibiotic ciprofloxacin, gentamycin, imipenem and penicillin G but sensitive to ampicillin, doxycycline, erythromycin and tetracycline; also have antimicrobial activity against common pathogen such as ATCC of Salmonella enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Shigella flexneri, Bacillus cereus, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli (environmental isolates), Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans. This study concludes that these isolates may be used as potential candidate as probiotic poultry feed. Bangladesh J Microbiol, Volume 36 Number 2 December 2019, pp 63-68
