Refrigerantes são bebidas não alcoólicas carbonatadas e constituem ótima fonte de glicídios. A composição química adocicada, o pH menor que 4,3, a aw maior que 0,90 e a atmosfera dos refrigerantes oferece condições favoráveis ao desenvolvimento de diversos microrganimos, incluindo leveduras deteriorantes..A deterioração ocasionada nos refrigerantes não constitui um risco à saúde das pessoas, mas este fenômeno prejudica a imagem de fábricas de refrigerantes, como também pode causar sérias perdas econômicas..Essas perdas podem ser minimizadas com o rastreamento da origem dos focos de contaminação, bem como conhecendo o risco potencial que cada levedura representa para o produto..As leveduras comumente detectadas em bebidas não alcoólicas carbonatadas, são as Brettanomyces sp, Candida lipolytica, Candida sp, Criptococcus albidus, Cryptococcus laurentii, Debaryomyces hansenii, Hanseniaspora sp, Hansenula sp, Kloeckera sp, Kluyveromyces sp, Zygosaccharomyces bailii, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Rhodotorula glutinis, Rhodotorula rubra, Pichia sp, Saccharomyces cerevisae, Saccharomyces sp.,Saccharomycodes ludwigii, Schizosaccharomyces sp, e Zygosaccharomyces sp. SOFT DRINK DETERIORATION BY YEASTS Abstract Soft drinks are non alcoholic carbonated beverages that become an excellent source of glycids. Sugar composition, pH lower than 4.3, aw higher than 0.90 and atmosphere of soft drinks are conditions that contribute for the development of many microorganisms, including spoilage yeasts. Soft drink deterioration is not a health risk for people, but this phenomenon damages the beverage companies image and can yield serious economic damages. This problem could be reduced knowing the contamination focus origin, and also understanding the potential risk that each yeast represents to the product. The common yeasts found in nonalcoholic carbonated beverages are Brettanomyces sp, Candida lipolytica, Candida sp, Criptococcus albidus, Cryptococcus laurentii, Debaryomyces hansenii, Hanseniaspora sp, Hansenula sp, Kloeckera sp, Kluyveromyces sp, Zygosaccharomyces bailii, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Rhodotorula glutinis, Rhodotorula rubra, Pichia sp, Saccharomyces cerevisae Saccharomyces sp, Saccharomycodes ludwigii, Schizosaccharomyces sp and Zygosaccharomyces sp.

Spore suspensions of a pure culture of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris DSM 2498 were submitted to different heat treatments (60°C for 60 min, 60°C for 30 min, 70°C for 20 min, 80°C for 5 min, 80°C for 10 min, 80°C for 30 min, and boiling for 5 min) to determine the best activation conditions in orange juice. The best treatment for spore activation was shown to be 70°C/20 min. Seventy-five samples of concentrated orange juice from 11 different suppliers were examined for the presence of thermophilic acid-tolerant spore formers by the most probable number technique using Bacillus acidocaldarius medium (BAM broth) and incubation at 44°C for 5 days after a prior spore activation. After incubation, isolation was carried out using BAM agar medium incubating at 44°C for 5 days. Typical colonies were submitted to a microscopic examination, evaluation for the presence of spores, and various biochemical tests. Of the orange juice samples examined, 14.7% were found to be positive for Alicyclobacillus. The thermal death time open tube method was used to determine the heat resistance of the spores of strains confirmed as being Alicyclobacillus. The D-values determined were in the range from 60.8 to 94.5 min at 85°C, 10.0 to 20.6 min at 90°C, and 2.5 to 8.7 min at 95°C. The z-values were between 7.2°C and 11.3°C. The results demonstrated the occurrence of Alicyclobacillus in orange juice and the high heat resistance of the spores that could survive the heat treatments normally applied in the processing of orange juice.

In Bangladesh, food sold at local markets are usually not kept under hygienic conditions leading to contamination with different microorganisms and deterioration of food quality. This study was carried out to examine the microbial quality of prawns sold at local markets. Prawn samples collected from different markets were assessed for their bacteriological quality using the multiple tube fermentation technique to determine coliform count using the most probable number method in Brilliant Green Lactose Broth (BGLB) media. Positive tubes of the presumptive test were further cultured on Eosine Methylene Blue(EMB) and Mac Conkey agar media. The organisms isolated were further characterized using biochemical tests. Out of the 65 samples, 47 (72.3%) showed positive results in all 3 tubes of dilution series using inoculum quantities of 1, 0.1 and 0.01 g.Among 65 samples 57 samples that contained at least one positive in each dilution series were further re-identified with biochemical tests.This study showed 56.14%isolates were Escherichia coli which conformed to expected biochemical reactions, formed round, small,elevated colonies with pink pigmentation on Mac Conkey agar media and round, small colonies with metallic green sheen pigmentation on EMB agar media. Other bacteria which presumptively appeared to be enterics and were isolated from BGLB were identified as Klebsiellapneumoniae(29.82%),Staphylococcus aureus(8.7%), Enterobacter aeroginosa(3.5%) and Salmonellatyphimurium (1.75%).Presumptive identification of E. coli in prawn in order to determine fecal contamination was able to identify ¾ of BGLB tubes with actual occurrence of E. coli. From this study it has been found that 97.14% bacteria were sensitive to Co-Trimoxazole, compared to other antibiotics used in this test whereas only 37.14% bacteria were sensitive to nitrofurantoin. This study also highlighted the fact that prawns act as a major source of E. coli which indicates possible fecal contamination as well as presence of potentially pathogenic E. coli and these bacteria are resistant at a great percentage to almost all of these antibiotics used in this study. Prawns must therefore be cooked adequately before consumption. Bangladesh J Microbiol, Volume 35 Number 1 June 2018, pp 13-16

O objetivo deste trabalho foi isolar cepas de leveduras capazes de degradar a água de degomagem do beneficiamento úmido do café, caracterizando os metabólitos formados. A bebida preparada a partir de grãos tratados por via úmida é considerada de melhor qualidade quando comparada à elaborada com grãos tratados por via seca. No entanto, o alto potencial poluente da água residual do beneficiamento representa sério problema para o ambiente. A água de degomagem apresenta essencialmente contaminação orgânica, com taxas de demanda bioquímica de oxigênio (DBO) e demanda química de oxigênio (DQO) superiores a 20.000 mgO2/L. Candida tropicalis, C. lypolitica, C. guilliermondii, C. parapsilopsis, Kloeckera apiculata e Rhodotorula rubra, isoladas de cerejas de café, foram inoculadas em frascos contendo água de degomagem e esses, submetidos à agitação constante(120 rpm) por 48 horas, a 28oC. Candida parapsilopsis apresentou percentual de redução da taxa de DBO de 50,14% e de DQO de 29,81%, evidenciando a viabilidade do uso desses microrganismos como biodespoluentes. DESENVOLVIMENTO DE BIOPROCESSO APLICADO AO TRATAMENTO DE ÁGUAS RESIDUAIS DO BENEFICIAMENTO ÚMIDO DO CAFÉ PELA INCORPORAÇÃO DE LINHAGEM SELECIONADA DE LEVEDURAS Abstract The aim of the present work was to isolate yeast strains able to degrade the degumming water originated from the wet processing of coffee, characterizing the formed metabolites. The drink prepared from the treated grains by wet processing is considered of better quality when compared with the grains treated by dry process. However, the great polluent potential of the residual water from this processing represents serious concern for the environment. The degumming water essentially presents organic contamination, with Oxygen Biochemical Demand (OBD) and Oxygen Chemical Demand (OCD) rates superior to 20.000 mgO2/L. Candida tropicalis, C. lypolitica, C. guilliermondii, C. parapsilopsis, Kloeckera apiculata e Rhodotorula rubra, isolated from coffee cheeries were inoculated in flasks containing the degumming water and then submitted to constant agitation (120 rpm) for 48 hours at 28ºC. The isolated species revealed capacity to degrade the substrate, however C.parapsilopsis showed reduction percentages of OBD and OCD rates of 50.14% e 29.81%, respectivelly, showing the viability of the use of those microorganisms as biological depollutants.
