Biogenic amines (BAs) are frequently present in traditionally fermented salted foods. In this study, a Tetragenococcus halophilus strain (MJ4) with no BA-producing ability was isolated from a fish (anchovy) sauce. Strain MJ4 did not produce BAs from supplied precursors and no BA-producing genes were identified in its genome. Bacterial community analysis showed that in non-inoculated saeu-jeot (shrimp sauce) fermentation, Tetragenococcus predominated after 82 days, while in strain MJ4-inoculated saeu-jeot, Tetragenococcus predominated during the entire fermentation. Strain MJ4 repressed the growth of T. muriaticus, a known BA producer, during fermentation, but metabolite analysis demonstrated that metabolite profiles, including amino acids, were similar regardless of MJ4 inoculation. The metabolite analysis also showed that strain MJ4 clearly repressed the formation of cadaverine during fermentation. This study suggests that the use of strain MJ4 as a starter culture in salted fish fermentation may be a good strategy for the reduction of BA formation.

- a halophilic lactic acid bacterium - is frequently used as a starter culture for manufacturing fermented foods. is sometimes infected with bacteriophages during fermentation for soy sauce production; however, bacteriophage infection in starter bacteria is one of the major causes of fermentation failure. Here, we obtained whole-genome sequences of the four strains YA5, YA163, YG2, and WJ7 and compared them with 18 previously reported genomes.

The establishment of HIV-1 latency has hindered an HIV-1 cure. "Shock and Kill" strategies to target this reservoir aim to induce the latent provirus with latency reversing agents (LRAs). However, recent studies have shown that the majority of the intact HIV-1 viral reservoir found in ART-suppressed HIV infected individuals is not inducible.

In the event of acute infection, only a few HIV-1 viral variants can establish the initial productive clinical infection, and these viral variants are known as transmitted/founder viruses (T/F viruses). As one of the accessory proteins of HIV-1, viral protein R (Vpr) plays an important role in viral replication. Therefore, the characterization of T/F virus Vpr is beneficial to understand how virus replicates in a new host.

Characterization of novel diesel-degrading strains Acinetobacter haemolyticus MJ01 and Acinetobacter johnsonii MJ4 isolated from oil-contaminated soil.

World J Microbiol Biotechnol

May 2012

Research and Development Division, H-Plus Eco Ltd., BVC 301, KRIBB, Eoeun-dong, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon 305-333, Republic of Korea.

The diesel-degrading strains, designated as MJ01 and MJ4, were isolated from oil-contaminated soil in Daejeon (South Korea) and were taxonomically characterized using a polyphasic approach and their diesel oil degradation abilities were analyzed. The isolates MJ01 and MJ4 were identified as Acinetobacter haemolyticus and Acinetobacter johnsonii, respectively, based on their 16S rDNA gene sequences, DNA-DNA relatedness, fatty acid profiles and various physiological characteristics. Strains MJ01 and MJ4 were able to use diesel oil as the sole carbon and energy source.
