ABSTRACTBacillus coagulans2-6 is an excellent producer of optically purel-lactic acid. However, little is known about the mechanism of synthesis of the highly optically purel-lactic acid produced by this strain. Three enzymes responsible for lactic acid production—NAD-dependentl-lactate dehydrogenase (l-nLDH; encoded byldhL), NAD-dependentd-lactate dehydrogenase (d-nLDH; encoded byldhD), and glycolate oxidase (GOX)—were systematically investigated in order to study the relationship between these enzymes and the optical purity of lactic acid.Lactobacillus delbrueckiisubsp.bulgaricusDSM 20081 (ad-lactic acid producer) andLactobacillus plantarumsubsp.plantarumDSM 20174 (adl-lactic acid producer) were also examined in this study as comparative strains, in addition toB. coagulans. The specific activities of key enzymes for lactic acid production in the three strains were characterizedin vivoandin vitro, and the levels of transcription of theldhL,ldhD, and GOX genes during fermentation were also analyzed. The catalytic activities ofl-nLDH andd-nLDH were different inl-,d-, anddl-lactic acid producers. Onlyl-nLDH activity was detected inB. coagulans2-6 under native conditions, and the level of transcription ofldhLinB. coagulans2-6 was much higher than that ofldhDor the GOX gene at all growth phases. However, for the twoLactobacillusstrains used in this study,ldhDtranscription levels were higher than those ofldhL. The high catalytic efficiency ofl-nLDH toward pyruvate and the high transcription ratios ofldhLtoldhDandldhLto the GOX gene provide the key explanations for the high optical purity ofl-lactic acid produced byB. coagulans2-6.

Genetic Manipulations

Pediococcus acidilactici is commonly used for pediocin production and lactic acid fermentation. However, high-efficiency genome editing tool is unavailable for this species. In this study, we constructed the endogenous subtype II-A CRISPR-Cas system-based genome interference plasmids which carried a “Repeat-Spacer-Repeat” cassette in the pMG36e shuttle vector. These plasmids exhibited self-interference activities in P. acidilactici LA412. Then, the genome-editing plasmids were constructed by cloning the upstream/downstream donor DNA into the corresponding interference plasmids to exert high-efficiency markerless gene deletion, gene integration, and point mutation in P. acidilactici LA412. We found that endogenous CRISPR-mediated depletion of the native plasmids enhanced the cell growth, and integration of a L-lactate dehydrogenase gene into the chromosome both enhanced cell growth and lactic acid production. IMPORTANCE A rapid and precise genome editing tool will promote the practical application of Pediococcus acidilactici , one type of lactic acid bacteria with excellent stress tolerance and probiotic characteristics. This study established a high-efficiency endogenous CRISPR-Cas system-based genome editing tool for P. acidilactici and achieved different genetic manipulations, including gene deletion, gene insertion, mononucleotide mutation, and endogenous plasmid depletion. The engineered strain edited by this tool showed significant advantages in cell growth and lactic acid fermentation. Therefore, our tool can satisfy the requirements for genetic manipulations of P. acidilactici , thus making it a sophisticated chassis species for synthetic biology and bioindustry.

AbstractThis in vitro study evaluated the protective effect of titanium tetrafluoride (TiF4) varnish and silver diamine fluoride (SDF) solution on the radiation-induced dentin caries. Bovine root dentin samples were irradiated (70 Gy) and treated as follows: (6 h): 4% TiF4 varnish; 5.42% NaF varnish; 30% SDF solution; placebo varnish; or untreated (negative control). Microcosm biofilm was produced from human dental biofilm (from patients with head-neck cancer) mixed with McBain saliva for the first 8 h. After 16 h and from day 2 to day 5, McBain saliva (0.2% sucrose) was replaced daily (37 °C, 5% CO2) (biological triplicate). Demineralization was quantified by transverse microradiography (TMR), while biofilm was analyzed by using viability, colony-forming units (CFU) counting and lactic acid production assays. The data were statistically analyzed by ANOVA (p < 0.05). TiF4 and SDF were able to reduce mineral loss compared to placebo and the negative control. TiF4 and SDF significantly reduced the biofilm viability compared to negative control. TiF4 significantly reduced the CFU count of total microorganism, while only SDF affected total streptococci and mutans streptococci counts. The varnishes induced a reduction in lactic acid production compared to the negative control. TiF4 and SDF may be good alternatives to control the development of radiation-induced dentin caries.
