Several artisanal cheeses are elaborated in European countries, being commonly curdled with rennets of animal origin. However, in some Spanish regions some cheeses of type “Torta” are elaborated using Cynara cardunculus L. rennets. Two of these cheeses, “Torta del Casar” and “Torta de Trujillo”, are elaborated in Cáceres province with ewe’s raw milk and matured over at least 60 days without starters. In this work, we identified the lactic acid bacteria present in these cheeses using MALDI-TOF MS and pheS gene analyses, which showed they belong to the species Lactobacillus curvatus, Lactobacillus diolivorans, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactococcus lactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroides. The pheS gene analysis also allowed the identification of the subspecies La. plantarum subsp. plantarum, La. paracasei subsp. paracasei and Le. mesenteroides subsp. jonggajibkimchii. Low similarity values were found in this gene for some currently accepted subspecies of Lc. lactis and for the two subspecies of La. plantarum, and values near to 100% for the subspecies of Le. mesenteroides and La. paracasei. These results, which were confirmed by the calculated ANIb and dDDH values of their whole genomes, showed the need to revise the taxonomic status of these species and their subspecies.

In this paper, we investigated the lactic acid bacteria’s community of the Algerian goat’s Jben in order to define and preserve it. This cheese variety is only handmade with raw milk, and a dried flower of Cynara cardunculus is used instead of the animal rennet, it is also restricted in sub-Saharan prov-inces in Algeria, and no previous studies on its lactic acid bacteria composi-tion have been performed before. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) procedure was used to identify 36 lactic acid bacteria isolated from artisanal Jben made from Arabia goat’s raw milk in Naâma (Algeria). The results showed the domination of the Enterococcus genus presents with four species: E. durans, E. faecalis, E. hirae and E. faecium. Lactococcus lactis and Leuconostoc mesenteroïdes were also detected. The species identified were favoured by the composition of goat’s raw milk microflora used and the artisanal manufacturing process of the cheese. The use of MALDI-TOF MS method provided us with a rapid diagnosis of the Jben lactic acid bacteria’s community. This method based on microbial abundant proteins fingerprint diagnosis was chosen for its fast, precise, low cost and less complicated analyse.

At present the traditional methods of identifying microorganisms are replaced by express methods, the mass spectrometric method using MALDI-TOF MS allows to reliably identify a variety of microorganisms in a short time, which is an indisputable advantage in work and allows to quickly identify many microorganisms in quickly. Classical methods for the identification of lactic acid bacteria based on their cultivation require a long time for their implementation. The advent of matrix laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) technology made significant changes in the workflows for the study of lactic acid bacteria, unmatched in speed characteristics. This article presents the study of the morphological, cultural properties, acid-forming ability, antibiotic sensitivity lactic acid bacteria of isolated from products (ayran, koumiss, ashykan kozhe, kurt, suzbe, cottage cheese) produced in different districts of the Karaganda region. The species identification of the isolated strains of lactic acid bacteria was carried out using a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer. The studies carried out on cultural and morphological characters indicate that they belong to the genus Lactobacillus, Lacticaseibacillus, Lactiplantibacillus, Limosilactobacillus. As a result of identification on the mass spectrometer of the presented samples L. acidophilus (2 strains), L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricum (2 strains), L. rhamnosus (7 strains), L. plantarum (2 strains), L. paracasei (11 strains), L. fermentum (2 strains) were revealed. According to the Score values, the results indicate the accuracy of the identification.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) protein analysis, automated ribotyping, and phenotypic tests (e.g., cell morphology, gas production from glucose, growth and acid production on homofermemtative-heterofermentative differential (HHD) agar medium, sugar fermentation patterns) were used to identify 23 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from fermented cereal foods available in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.Pediococcusacidilactici(56.5%),Lactobacillusfermentum(30.4%),L.salivarius(4.3%),P.pentosaceus(4.3%) andL. plantarumsubsp.plantarum(4.3%) were the species and subspecies identified. Protein based identification was confirmed by automated ribotyping for selected isolates and was similar to that provided by the phenotypic characterization. MALDI-TOF MS protein analysis provided a high level of discrimination among the isolates and could be used for the rapid screening of LAB starter cultures.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in grapes, must and wines. A total amount of 90 samples including grape (n = 30), must (no = 30) and wine (no = 30) were collected from vineyards in Slovakia. LAB were used cultured on MRS agar with subsequent confirmation with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (Bruker Daltonics). Altogether, 904 isolates were identified. Members of the family Lactobacillaeceae were the most abundant in grape (60%), must (46%) and wine (51%). Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus and Weissella genera and 27 species of LAB were isolated from the examined samples. Leuconostoc mesenteroides spp. mesenteroides was the most abundant species in grape, must and wine.

In this study, the potential of Leuconostoc as non-conventional sourdough starter cultures was investigated. A screening for antifungal activities of 99 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains revealed high suppression of bakery-relevant moulds in nine strains of Leuconostoc with activities against Penicillium sp., Aspergillus sp., and Cladosporium sp. Mannitol production was determined in 49 Leuconostoc strains with >30 g/L mannitol in fructose (50 g/L)-enriched MRS. Further, exopolysaccharides (EPS) production was qualitatively determined on sucrose (40 g/L)-enriched MRS agar and revealed 59 EPS positive Leuconostoc strains that harboured dextransucrase genes, as confirmed by PCR. Four multifunctional Lc. citreum strains (DCM49, DCM65, MA079, and MA113) were finally applied in lab-scale sourdough fermentations (30 °C, 24 h). Lc. citreum was confirmed by MALDI-TOF MS up to 9 log CFU/g and pH dropped to 4.0 and TTA increased to 12.4. Antifungal compounds such as acetic acid, phenyllactic and hydroxyphenyllactic acids were determined up to 1.7 mg/g, 2.1 µg/g, and 1.3 µg/g, respectively, mannitol up to 8.6 mg/g, and EPS up to 0.62 g/100 g. Due to the observed multifunctionalities and the competitiveness in the natural flour microbiota present in sourdoughs, non-conventional LAB genera such as Leuconostoc seem promising for application in sourdough-based bakery products.
