2007b). This relationship between the mammalian host supplying carbohydrate substrates and the commensal intestine-adapted bacteria resembles symbiosis. 2 Adaptation to Dairy Environment LAB are associated with the production of practically all fermented dairy foods. Some of the species commercially used as starters or naturally occurring in cheese are phylogenetically closely related to species totally unable to grow in milk. The ability to ferment lactose and to degrade milk proteins (proteolysis) are the major adaptations to dairy environment by LAB.
2005) of a number of Lb. plantarum strains. The adhesin was identified as a sortasedependent protein (SDP) and the gene was named as msa. In Lb. acidophilus NCFM, inactivation of three surface-related proteins was shown to reduce the ability of this strain to adhere to Caco-2 cells in vitro, suggesting that in this strain adhesion is determined by multiple factors. Similar results were obtained by genome analysis of Lb. johnsonii NCC533, which revealed a high number of SDP genes as well as a predicted fimbrial operon (for a review, see Lebeer et al.
The deleted region was between two IS30. Also, the second deleted region was flanked by mobile elements, suggesting a key role of these elements in genome deletions, which may occur in a very rapid manner (two genome deletions per 1000 generations). 2 Gene Acquisition LAB have acquired new gene families by gene duplications and by horizontal gene transfer (HGT). 5. While all these mechanisms have undoubtedly contributed to the evolution of LAB genomes, the events associated with transduction and the IS-mediated genetic rearrangements are sometimes discernible from the genetic data.
