    Comparative Genomics of Leuconostoc Lactis Strains Isolated From Human Gastrointestinal System and Fermented Foods Microbiomes
    (BMC, 2022-08-02) Gumustop, Ismail; Ortakci, Fatih
    Background: Leuconostoc lactis forms a crucial member of the genus Leuconostoc and has been widely used in the fermentation industry to convert raw material into acidified and flavored products in dairy and plant-based food systems. Since the ecological niches that strains of Ln. lactis being isolated from were truly diverse such as the human gut, dairy, and plant environments, comparative genome analysis studies are needed to better understand the strain differences from a metabolic adaptation point of view across diverse sources of origin. We compared eight Ln. lactis strains of 1.2.28, aa_0143, BIOML-A1, CBA3625, LN19, LN24, WIKIM21, and WiKim40 using bioinformatics to elucidate genomic level characteristics of each strain for better utilization of this species in a broad range of applications in food industry. Results: Phylogenomic analysis of twenty-nine Ln. lactis strains resulted in nine clades. Whole-genome sequence analysis was performed on eight Ln. lactis strains representing human gastrointestinal tract and fermented foods microbiomes. The findings of the present study are based on comparative genome analysis against the reference Ln. lactis CBA3625 genome. Overall, a similar to 41% of all CDS were conserved between all strains. When the coding sequences were assigned to a function, mobile genetic elements, mainly insertion sequences were carried by all eight strains. All strains except LN24 and WiKim40 harbor at least one intact putative prophage region, and two of the strains contained CRISPR-Cas system. All strains encoded Lactococcin 972 bacteriocin biosynthesis gene clusters except for CBA3625. Conclusions: The findings in the present study put forth new perspectives on genomics of Ln. lactis via complete genome sequence based comparative analysis and further determination of genomic characteristics. The outcomes of this work could potentially pave the way for developing elements for future strain engineering applications.

    Comparative Genomics of Lentilactobacillus Parabuchneri Isolated From Dairy, Kem Complex, Makgeolli, and Saliva Microbiomes
    (BMC, 2022-12-05) Gumustop, Ismail; Ortakci, Fatih
    Background: Lentilactobacillus parabuchneri is of particular concern in fermented food bioprocessing due to causing unwanted gas formation, cracks, and off-flavor in fermented dairy foods. This species is also a known culprit of histamine poisonings because of decarboxylating histidine to histamine in ripening cheese. Twenty-eight genomes in NCBI GenBank were evaluated via comparative analysis to determine genomic diversity within this species and identify potential avenues for reducing health associated risks and economic losses in the food industry caused by these organisms. Result: Core genome-based phylogenetic analysis revealed four distinct major clades. Eight dairy isolates, two strains from an unknown source, and a saliva isolate formed the first clade. Three out of five strains clustered on clade 2 belonged to dairy, and the remaining two strains were isolated from the makgeolli and Korean effective microorganisms (KEM) complex. The third and fourth clade members were isolated from Tete de Moine and dairy-associated niches, respectively. Whole genome analysis on twenty-eight genomes showed similar to 40% of all CDS were conserved across entire strains proposing a considerable diversity among L. parabuchneri strains analyzed. After assigning CDS to their corresponding function, similar to 79% of all strains were predicted to carry putative intact prophages, and similar to 43% of the strains harbored at least one plasmid; however, all the strains were predicted to encode genomic island, insertion sequence, and CRISPR-Cas system. A type I-E CRISPR-Cas subgroup was identified in all the strains, with the exception of DSM15352, which carried a type II-A CRISPR-Cas system. Twenty strains were predicted to encode histidine decarboxylase gene cluster that belongs to not only dairy but also saliva, KEM complex, and unknown source. No bacteriocin-encoding gene(s) or antibiotic resistome was found in any of the L. parabuchneri strains screened. Conclusion: The findings of the present work provide in-depth knowledge of the genomics of L. parabuchneri by comparing twenty-eight genomes available to date. For example, the hdc gene cluster was generally reported in cheese isolates; however, our findings in the current work indicated that it could also be encoded in those strains isolated from saliva, KEM complex, and unknown source. We think prophages are critical mobile elements of L. parabuchneri genomes that could pave the way for developing novel tools to reduce the occurrence of this unwanted species in the food industry.
