Effects of salt stress on the freeze-drying survival rate of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LIP-1.

In this study, we examined the effects of different salt stress application methods on the Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LIP-1 freeze-drying survival rate. The application of salt stress during the stationary phase significantly improved Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LIP-1 freeze-drying survival rates (P < 0.05).

Effects of different initial pH values on freeze-drying resistance of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LIP-1 based on transcriptomics and proteomics.

The growth and the resistance to adverse environments of lactic acid bacteria would be affected by adjusting the initial pH of the medium. In order to explore the effect of changing the initial pH of culture medium on the freeze-drying survival rate of the Lactiplantibacillus plantarum LIP-1, the effect of initial pH on cell membrane fatty acid composition and key enzyme activity were mainly determined, and the internal mechanism was studied by transcriptomics and proteomics methods. We found that compared with initial pH 7.

Improving the freeze-drying survival rate of Lactobacillus plantarum LIP-1 by increasing biofilm formation based on adjusting the composition of buffer salts in medium.

Lactic acid bacteria can improve their resistance to adverse environments through the formation of biofilm. This study found that adding different buffer salts in culture medium had a great impact on the freeze-drying survival rate of the Lactobacillus plantarum LIP-1, which could be linked to biofilm formation. Transcriptome data showed that potassium ions in buffer salt increased the expression of the luxS gene in the LuxS/autoinducer-2 (AI-2) quorum sensing system and increase synthesis of the quorum sensing signal AI-2.

Effects of buffer salts on the freeze-drying survival rate of Lactobacillus plantarum LIP-1 based on transcriptome and proteome analyses.

Buffer salts are often added to culture medium to promote bacterial growth. However, we found that buffer salts can improve the freeze-drying survival rate. In this experiment, the mechanisms for the effects of different buffer salts on the survival rate of freeze-dried strains were examined.
