A new shuttle-cloning vector, pA13, was constructed and successfully introduced into Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus and Lactococcus strains. It showed high segregational and structural stability in all three hosts. The natural plasmid pSJ2-8 from L. paracasei subsp. paracasei BGSJ2-8 was cloned into pA13 using BamHI to obtain the construct, pB5. Sequencing and in silico analysis of pB5 revealed fifteen open reading frames (ORF). Plasmid pSJ2-8 harbours genes encoding the production of two bacteriocins, BacSJ and acidocin 8912. Combined N-terminal amino acid sequencing of BacSJ in combination with DNA sequencing of the bacSJ2-8 gene enabled determination of the primary structure of bacteriocin BacSJ. The bacSJ2-8 gene encodes 68-amino-acid peptide with a double-glycine leader peptide consisting of 18 amino acids, followed by the orf2 (bacSJ2-8i) which encodes the immunity protein of BacSJ. The production and functional expression of BacSJ in homologous and heterologous hosts suggest that bacSJ2-8 and bacSJ2-8i together with the genes encoding the ABC transporter and accessory protein are the minimal requirements for production of BacSJ. Biochemical and genetic analyses showed that BacSJ belongs to class II bacteriocins.

This study aims to enhance understanding of probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) survival in high-hopped beer formulations and their interactions with different yeasts and highlights the fermentation processes, microbial metabolism, and production of distinctive beer flavors. For this, this research used Lacticaseibacillus paracasei F19 (F19), Saccharomycodes ludwigii, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains US-05 (US-05) and Kveik (Kveik) for brewing. Bacterial and yeast cultures were prepared, fermented in wort, and analyzed in different hop concentrations (International Bitterness Units - IBU 0, 20, 40).

Article Synopsis
- This study compared the fermentation of three bacterial strains in camel and bovine milk, finding that all strains reached viable levels over 7.0 log CFU/mL after 16 hours.
- The strain showed a higher growth count in both types of milk, while another strain had the most significant acidifying ability.
- The research concluded that the effectiveness of these strains was influenced by factors like incubation time, the specific strain, and the type of milk used.
