Broccoli stems, comprising 38% of the plant's total weight, are usually discarded by the industry producing fourth-range and ready-to-use products, despite being rich in antioxidants, vitamins, fiber, carotenoids, phenolic compounds, and glucosinolates. Addressing the challenge of reducing waste in this sector includes the production of stable and nutrient-concentrated powders, which can be consumed directly or used as ingredients in functional food formulation. This study investigated fermentation with lactic acid bacteria (<i>Limosilactobacillus reuteri</i>, <i>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum</i>, and <i>Lactobacillus salivarius</i>) as a pretreatment for enhancing antioxidant and probiotic potential in broccoli stem powders. Results showed maximum counts 24 h after inoculation, and no effect of the previous disruption intensity on microbial growth was observed. Fermenting broccoli stems for 24 h with the three microbial strains led to a significant increase in total phenols and flavonoids but to a general reduction in the samples' capacity to scavenge DPPH and ABTS free radicals. Overall, ground broccoli stems exhibited the most favorable antioxidant properties following the 24 h fermentation step. The subsequent freeze-drying and final grinding had minimal impact on the microbial population but significantly enhanced the extractability of the antioxidant compounds. This study offers a valuable reference for researchers and stakeholders exploring the development of new products and innovations from vegetable waste.</p>","PeriodicalId":46108,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Microbiology","volume":"10 2","pages":"255-272"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11194623/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141451878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The search for actinomycetes producing extremozyme cellulase using cheap lignocellulosic waste remains a priority goal of enzyme research.

This actinomycete was identified as <i>Nocardiopsis synnemataformans</i> based on its phenotypic characteristics alongside phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequencing (OQ380604.1). Using bean straw as the best agro-waste, the production of cellulase from this strain was statistically optimized using a response surface methodology, with the maximum activity (13.20 U/mL) achieved at an incubation temperature of 40 °C, a pH of 9, an incubation time of 7 days, and a 2% substrate concentration. The partially purified cellulase (PPC) showed promising activity and stability over a wide range of temperatures (20-90 °C), pH values (3-11), and NaCl concentrations (1-19%), with optimal activity at 50 °C, pH 9.0, and 10% salinity.

In addition, this yeast strain exhibited good lipolytic and esterolytic activities, as well as low cellulase activity. A sequence analysis of the D1/D2 region of the 26S ribosomal RNA (26S rRNA) and a study of morphological characteristics identified the PO27 strain as <i>Geotrichum candidum</i>.

To evaluate the ability of this isolate to produce α-amylase in submerged fermentation, multiple concentrations of olive pomace substrate were tested. The best activity of submerged fermentation was statistically compared to the solid-state fermentation result in order to select the appropriate fermentation type. A high significant difference was found to rank the 6% olive pomace medium as the best substrate concentration with 34.395 U/mL of α-amylase activity.

These versatile microorganisms are ubiquitous in diverse ecosystems, including soil, freshwater, marine sediments, and within the bodies of insects.

In this study, we involved the isolation and characterization of a total of 72 actinomycete strains obtained from 18 distinct ant species collected from various regions across Thailand. Utilizing 16S rRNA gene analysis, these isolated actinomycetes were classified into four distinct genera: <i>Amycolatopsis</i> (2 isolates), <i>Micromonospora</i> (1 isolate), <i>Nocardia</i> (8 isolates), and <i>Streptomyces</i> (61 isolates).
