The aim of this review is to compare, contrast and summarize the scientific data on the effect of fermentation on physicochemical properties, anti-nutritional factors and sensory properties of cereal-based fermented foods and beverages. The results of this review showed that fermentation improves the nutritional value of some proximate composition such as crude protein and fat contents, while decreases the carbohydrate and crude fiber contents. It also improves the bioavailability, antioxidant activities and sensory properties of cereal-based foods and beverages. This review concluded that fermentation improves the nutritional quality of proximate composition, bioavailability of minerals and phytochemicals, and decrease the anti-nutritional factors of cereal-based fermented foods and beverages.","PeriodicalId":8069,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Microbiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of the isolated microorganisms from RTE foods are resistant to common antibiotics and thus, resulted to treatment failure when commercially available antibiotics are administered. However, the secondary metabolites secreted by microorganisms can serve as alternative therapy that are reliable and safe. Secondary metabolites obtained from mono- and co-culture microorganisms can inhibit the growth of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms. Bioactive compounds in the secreted metabolites can be identified and utilized as sources of new antibiotics. In this study, antimicrobial activity of secondary metabolites from Lactobacillus fermentum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pleurotus ostreatus, and their co-cultures were tested against foodborne pathogens isolated from RTE foods using agar well diffusion. The bioactive compounds in the metabolites were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. From a total of 100 RTE foods examined, Salmonella enterica, Shigella dysenteriae, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae (subsp ozaenae), Pseudomonas fluorescens, Clostridium perfringes, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogens, and Staphylococcus aureus, Penicillium chrysogenum, Aspergillus flavus, and Aspergillus niger were isolated and displayed multiple antibiotic resistance. The secondary metabolites secreted by co-culture of L. fermentum + P. ostreatus + S. cerevisiae, and co-culture of P. ostreatus + S. cerevisiae have the highest (P ≤ 0.05) zones of inhibition (23.70 mm) and (21.10 mm) against E. coli, respectively. Metabolites from mono-cultured L. fermentum, P. ostreatus, and S. cerevisiae showed zones of inhibition against indicator microorganisms with values ranging from 8.80 to 11.70 mm, 9.00 to 14.30 mm, and 9.30 to 13.00 mm, respectively. Some of the bioactive compounds found in the metabolites of co-cultured microorganisms were alpha-linolenic acid (25.71%), acetic acid 3-methylbutyl ester (13.83%), trans-squalene (12.39%), pentadecylic acid (11.68%), 3- phenyllactic acid (30.13%), linolelaidic acid methyl ester (15.63%), and 4-O-methylmannose (53.74%). RTE foods contain multiple antibiotics resistance pathogens. The pronounced antimicrobial activity of the secondary metabolites against microorganisms from RTE foods could be attributed to the presence of bioactive compounds in the metabolites. These metabolites can be exploited as alternative food preservatives, biopharmaceuticals and can be used towards better health delivering systems.","PeriodicalId":8069,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Microbiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142221084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fate of biodegradation in aquatic environments and the role of biodegradation in the development of bacterial resistance are poorly understood. Thus, as a crucial step in an environmental risk assessment, the biodegradability of many therapeutically significant antibiotics was investigated. A marine halophilic bacteria that degrades penicillin G (PEN-G) was isolated and identified based on morphology, physio-biochemical characteristics, and 16S rDNA sequences as Bacillus pseudomycoides AH1 (accession no. MF037698). The effects of various concentrations of PEN-G and carbon and nitrogen sources on the biotransformation ability at 30°C and pH 7.0 were evaluated. Cells grown in medium supplemented with glucose as an additional carbon source and yeast extract as a nitrogen source exhibited maximal PEN-G biotransformation efficiency and rate (71.678% ±1.28 and 2.99 mg/h, respectively). The culture conditions for B. pseudomycoides AH1 cells were optimized using a Plackett–Burman design (PBD). Six key determinants (p < 0.05) significantly affected the process outcome, as deduced by regression analysis of the PBD data, and modified MSM broth achieved PEN-G biotransformation efficiency (100%) under aerobic shaking conditions at 35°C, irrespective of HPLC analysis. Additionally, the present investigation could strongly support the application of immobilization approaches for the removal of PEN-G-contaminated environmental sites. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first detailed study on the efficient biotransformation of PEN-G by an alginate-bacteria system as a simple, green, and inexpensive process, as well as a promising method.","PeriodicalId":8069,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Microbiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142221083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was aimed at assessing the probiotic potential of LAB isolated from Cheka, an Ethiopian traditionally fermented beverage. Pure isolates obtained from 16 Cheka samples from Konso (n = 8) and Derashe (n = 8) were characterized morphologically, biochemically, and physiologically by considering basic criteria to identify the LAB. The probiotics properties of the LAB were evaluated in vitro at low pH values (2.0 and 3.0), and two bile salt concentrations (0.3 and 0.5%) for 3 and 6 h. The 16 S rRNA gene sequencing was done using an ABI 3730xl sequencer, and the gene sequences were aligned. Of the 27 pure isolates, 11 isolates were proven to be LAB with non-motile, negative for catalase, and non-spore former characteristics. Based on cultural characteristics and sugar fermentation ability, the 11 isolates were assembled into the genera Lactobacillus (55%), Lactococcus (18%), Pediococcus (18%), and Leuconostoc (9%). At pH 3.0 and a bile salt concentration of 0.3%, isolate ChK-11 showed a better survival rate (97 and 94%) than other isolates [ChK-7 (93 and 80%) > ChD-5 (84 and 76%) > ChD-8 (46 and 36%) > ChK-4 (41 and 34%)] for 6 and 3 h, respectively. According to 16 S rRNA sequencing results, isolates ChK-11 and ChK-7 were found to be Weissella paramesenteroides and Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides with sequence similarity of 99 and 91%, respectively. In the present study, probiotic LAB (Weissella paramesenteroides and Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides) was successfully isolated and sequenced from Cheka samples. The findings of this in vitro study indicated that fermented beverages like Cheka are a source of the LAB with probiotic functional properties. Overall, Weissella paramesenteroides and Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides isolates, which showed promising probiotic properties under in vitro conditions, can be used for starter culture development for the Cheka fermentation process.","PeriodicalId":8069,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Microbiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141753940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is paramount to delve into the root causes of rot disease in saffron to optimize both yield and quality. Existing preventive and treatment modalities have exerted deleterious effects on corms and the natural environment. Consequently, the quest for efficacious and eco-friendly methods such as biological control agents has become an urgent imperative. The disparate distribution of microbial communities between rhizospheric microorganisms and saffron serves as the foundational exploration for uncovering the underlying causes of rot disease. Samples from various saffron organs and rhizosphere soil were gathered, and the sequencing data from the microbial communities were interpreted using 16S rRNA and ITS gene sequencing methods. This facilitated an in-depth examination of the composition and changes of microorganisms in both healthy and diseased saffron plants. The findings indicated rot disease reduced the abundance and diversity of microorganisms in saffron, and the fungal co-occurrence networks were less stable and their communities were more sensitive to rot disease than the bacterial community. Fusarium was the predominant genus in diseased samples, accounting for 99.19% and 89.77% of the communities in diseased leaves and corms. With corms and leaves displaying heightened susceptibility to infection compared to other plant organs. Some of the beneficial bacterial taxa enriched in the diseased plants were also identified in networks, they showed an antagonistic relationship with Fusarium, suggesting a potential for these bacteria to be used in biologically based control strategies against rot disease. These insights could prove invaluable for the development of biocontrol agents aimed at combating this plant ailment. These findings significantly advance our understanding of saffron-microbiome interactions and could provide fundamental and important data for improving saffron yield and quality in the process of sustainable development.","PeriodicalId":8069,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Microbiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141745850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
