The main objective of this research was to explore the dynamic changes of Bifidobacterium and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in the process of feed fermentation under anaerobic condition, so as to increase the number of fermented bacteria of Bifidobacterium from the aspect of strain combination. The results showed that when Bifidobacterium lactis ( B. lactis, i.e. Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis ) fermented with Bacillus coagulans or Lactobacillus paracasei , the maximum number of B. lactis in those samples was 9.42 times and 4.64 times of that of fermented sample with B. lactis only. The soybean meal was fermented by B. lactis, L. paracasei and B. coagulans , and the number of B. lactis reached the maximum after fermented 10 days, which was 6.13 times of that in unfermented sample. The reducing sugar content and highest activity of α-galactosidase were higher than the control. These results suggest that B . coagulans and L . paracasei can promote the growth of B. lactis . It is inferred that B . coagulans can metabolize normally in aerobic, micro-aerobic and anaerobic environments, consume oxygen, produce digestive enzymes, and cooperate with L . paracasei to produce metabolic products benefit for the growth of B. lactis .

Biodegradable polylactic acid material is manufactured from lactic acid, mainly produced by microbial fermentation. The high production cost of lactic acid still remains the major limitation for its application, indicating that the cost of carbon sources for the production of lactic acid has to be minimized. In addition, a lack of source availability of food crop and lignocellulosic biomass has encouraged researchers and industries to explore new feedstocks for microbial lactic acid fermentation. Seaweeds have attracted considerable attention as a carbon source for microbial fermentation owing to their non-terrestrial origin, fast growth, and photoautotrophic nature. The proximate compositions study of red, brown, and green seaweeds indicated that Gracilaria sp. has the highest carbohydrate content. The conditions were optimized for the saccharification of the seaweeds, and the results indicated that Gracilaria sp. yielded the highest reducing sugar content. Optimal lactic acid fermentation parameters, such as cell inoculum, agitation, and temperature, were determined to be 6% (v/v), 0 rpm, and 30 °C, respectively. Gracilaria sp. hydrolysates fermented by lactic acid bacteria at optimal conditions yielded a final lactic acid concentration of 19.32 g/L.

This study aims to determine the effect of the concentration the addition of lesser yam as prebiotic to total Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), reducing sugar content, crude fiber, viscosity, and organoleptic properties of yogurt with a combination of three bacteria (Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and Lactobacillus acidophilus). The design of this study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications with variations in the addition of lesser yam tuber, namely T1 with a concentration of 0%, T2 with a concentration of 2%, T3 with a concentration of 4% and T4 with a concentration of 6%. The raw materials used are pasteurized fresh cow's milk, lesser yam tuber flour, and yogurt starter. The results showed that the addition of different lesser yam tuber flour had a significant effect (P &lt;0.05) on total LAB, sugar reduction, crude fiber, viscosity, and organoleptic properties of yogurt. The ideal treatment for the addition of lesser yam tuber flour is the concentration of 2% lesser yam tuber, which produces a total LAB is 9.2 x 109, a sugar reduction is 0.653 mg/mL, crude fiber is 1.3%, 82.25 cPs, and organoleptic properties had sour taste and viscosity is rather thick which the most preferred.<br>

Bifidobacterium lactiswith oxalate-degrading capacity can efficiently reduce the oxalate in vivo, and it can be used to prevent and treat kidney stone diseases. WhileBifidobacterium lactisis poorly oxygen-tolerant, which hinders it from being as microbial ecological agents. To obtain oxygen-tolerant and oxalate-degrading lactic acid bacteria, protoplast fusion technology was used betweenB. lactisandL. acidophilus.Under the optimum conditions of protoplast fusion with PEG 6000 concentration 50%, the fusion time 7 min, the fusion temperature 30°C, the concentration of CaCl20. 02mol/ L and the concentration of MgCl20.5mol/ L, the fusion rate reached 7.6%, and three oxygen-tolerant fusant showing that the level of oxalate degradation were similar withB. lactiswas obtained. The fusants of SZY1-7 and SZY2-1 could tolerance to pH 2.5 and 0.5% (w/v) bile salt.

The spoilage of Sous Vide ‘SV’ cooked salmon stored under refrigeration was studied. Samples were packaged under vacuum in polyamide—polypropylene pouches, cooked at an oven temperature/time of 80 °C/45 min, quickly chilled at 3 °C and stored at 2 °C for 0, 5 or 10 weeks for catering use. Microbial (aerobic and anaerobic psychrotrophs, lactic acid bacteria, molds and yeasts and Enterobacteriaceae), physical—chemical (pH, water activity, TBARS, acidity, L*a*b* color, texture profile analysis and shear force) and sensory (appearance, odor, flavor, texture and overall quality) parameters were determined. SV processing prevented the growth of aerobic and anaerobic psychrotrophs, lactic acid bacteria, molds and yeasts and Enterobacteriaceae. There were no relevant changes in pH, water activity, TBARS, CIELab color associated with cooked salmon spoilage. Instrumental texture data were contradictory. Slight decrease in lactic acid levels was found. In contrast, the SV cooked salmon suffered considerable sensory deterioration during its refrigerated storage, consisting of severe losses of cooked salmon odor and flavor, slight rancidity, discoloration associated with white precipitation, and moderates softness, and loss of chewiness and juiciness. No acidification, putrefaction or relevant rancidity was detected. The sensory spoilage preceded microbiological and physical—chemical spoilage, suggesting that microbiological quality alone may overestimate the shelf life of SV cooked salmon.

Background: Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogenic bacterium that can contaminate food and cause public health problems due its ability to form biofilms and resistance to sanitizers, it is responsible for sanitary and economic losses in food producing establishments. The difficulties in controlling biofilms and increasing resistance to traditional antibacterial agents is motivating studies of alternative potential biological agents for the control of pathogenic biofilms, among which lactic acid bacteria (LABs) are included. The objective of this work was to evaluate the activity of LABs against Listeria monocytogenes biofilm formation on polystyrene plates, a surface commonly used in the food industry.Materials, Methods & Results: Lyophilized commercial strains of Bifidobacterium animalis, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus salivaris and Lactobacillus acidophilus were used. The strain of Listeria monocytogenes (L4) was isolated from polystyrene mats from a poultry slaughterhouse cutting room and demonstrated the ability to attach to microplates and resistance to sanitizers (sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide) at all times, temperatures and tested surfaces. The antimicrobial activity of LABs was evaluated by the agar diffusion method. The LABs that presented action on Listeria monocytogenes were selected for the inhibition and/or removal of biofilms in microplates, and all experiments were carried out in triplicate. Only Bifidobacterium animalis and Lactobacillus plantarum demonstrated action against Listeria. monocytogenes in the agar diffusion assays and were selected for inhibition and competition assays. Furthermore, competition of LABs against Listeria monocytogenes adhesion was evaluated. There was no significant difference between LABs and Listeria monocytogenes, alone or in combination, at temperatures of 30ºC and 37ºC in the Listeria monocytogenes inhibition assays on polystyrene surface. The lactic acid bacteria evaluated did not demonstrate inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes adhesin testes with optical density visualization, however, it was possible to identify a reduction in Listeria monocytogenes counts with the application of Bifidobacterium animals and Lactobacillus plantarum in the testes of competition against biofilm formation. In competition tests Bifidobacterium animalis and Lactobacillus plantarum have an injunction in Listeria monocytogenes, indicating that these lactic acid bacteria can retard Listeria biofilm formation on polystyrene surfaces and thus help control the pathogen in the food industry.Discussion: A potential mechanism to control biofilm adhesion and formation of pathogens for nutrients and fixation on surfaces, multiplication factors and surfaces are a challenge in controlling biofilms of pathogenic microorganisms, alternative measures to traditional methods for inactivating pathogens and biofilm formers bacteria are necessary. In this sense, lactic acid bacteria generate high levels of bacteriocin and are effective in inhibiting the biofilm of pathogenic bacteria, however, our study did not reveal this. We verified that Bifidobacterium animalis and Lactobacillus plantarum have an inhibitory action on Listeria monocytogenes, indicating that these lactic acid bacteria can be used to delay the formation of biofilms by Listeria on polystyrene surfaces, helping to control this pathogen in food industry.Keywords: control of biofilm, pathogenic bacteria, food industry, polystyrene surface, FTDs.
