Antibacterial efficacy of lactic acid bacteria and bacteriocin isolated from Dadih’s against Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract

Bacteriocin, a peptide produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) widely used as a natural and safe preservative in food products. This work aimed to evaluate the characterization of bacteriocin from dadih’s LAB and to study its antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Supernatant from 12 LBA strains could inhibit S. aureus growth with different inhibition zones. Only nine strains showed inhibition zones of > 3.5 mm and were further evaluated for their antibacterial compounds. Three strains had antimicrobial activity derived from organic acids, especially lactic acid, and six strains had antimicrobial compounds in the form of bacteriocin. Bacteriocin strain R-55 showed the highest activity against S. aureus, with an average inhibition zone of 8.43 mm. The molecular weight of the purified isolated bacteriocin from the R-55 strain was 14.4 kDa. Bacteriocin obtained from St. faecalis subsp. liquefaciens R-55 is a promising natural preservative to prevent the growth of S. aureus as foodborne pathogens.

1 Introduction

Staphylococcus aureus is the major pathogenic bacteria that infect humans and animals, resulting in several clinical manifestations of the pathogen, including the infection of superficial skin and soft tissue, sepsis, pneumonia, and endocarditis (Tong et al., 2015Tong, S. Y. C., Davis, J. S., Eichenberger, E., Holland, T. L., & Fowler, V. G. Jr. (2015). Staphylococcus aureus infections: Epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and management. Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 28(3), 603-661. http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/CMR.00134-14. PMid:26016486.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/CMR.00134-14...
). These pathogenic bacteria are prone to be resistant to different antibiotics. Infections are prevalent in the hospital-acquired and community-acquired environment, and the treatment is still challenging to achieve because of the development of multi-drug resistant bacterial strains such as Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (Boucher & Corey 2008Boucher, H. W., & Corey, G. R. (2008). Epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Clinical Infectious Diseases, 46(Suppl. 5), S344-S349. http://dx.doi.org/10.1086/533590.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1086/533590...
). MRSA is resistant to most β-lactam antibiotics due to the penicillin-binding protein encoded by the mecA gene (Chambers, 1997Chambers, H. F. (1997). Methicillin resistance in staphylococci: molecular and biochemical basis and clinical implications. Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 10(4), 781-791. http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/CMR.10.4.781. PMid:9336672.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/CMR.10.4.781...
). Moreover, MRSA can epidemically spread in livestock and hospitals, societies (Ho et al., 2012Ho, P. L., Chow, K. H., Lai, E. L., Law, P. Y. T., Chan, P. Y., Ho, A. Y. M., Ng, T. K., & Yam, W. C. (2012). Clonality and antimicrobial susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus isolates from food animals and other animals.

; Vandendriessche et al., 2014Vandendriessche, S., Vanderhaeghen, W., Larsen, J., de Mendonça, R., Hallin, M., Butaye, P., Hermans, K., Haesebrouck, F., & Denis, O. (2014). High genetic diversity of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) from humans and animals on livestock farms and presence of SCCmec remnant DNA in MSSA CC398. The Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 69(2), 355-362. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jac/dkt366. PMid:24072172.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jac/dkt366...
). The risk of transmission of MRAS from animals to human attracted public health concern since the observation of the livestock-associated MRSA from pig belonging to LA-MRSA CC398 (Clonal Complex 398) was reported in Netherland early in the twentieth century (van Loo et al., 2007van Loo, I., Huijsdens, X., Tiemersma, E., De Neeling, A., Van De Sande-Bruinsma, N., Beaujean, D., Voss, A., & Kluytmans, J. (2007). Emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus of animal origin in humans. Emerging Infectious Diseases, 13(12), 1834-1839. http://dx.doi.org/10.3201/eid1312.070384. PMid:18258032.

PMid:22082716.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0950268811002...
).

This organism is robust so that it can grow on many types of food that are processed or stored incorrectly, and the infection causes diseases via the production of different enzymes and enterotoxins (SEs) or by the direct invasion and destruction of the tissues of the human body (Taddesse et al., 2014Taddesse, Z., Tiruneh, M., & Gizachew, M. (2014). Staphylococcus aureus and its Antimicrobial Susceptibility. Global Journal of Medical Research: C Microbiology and Pathology, 14(2), 1-8.). This SEs is one of those compounds causing staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) by S. aureus (Rasooly & Friedm, 2012Rasooly, R., & Friedm, M. (2012). Food compounds inhibit staphylococcus aureus bacteria and the toxicity of Staphylococcus Enterotoxin A (SEA) associated with atopic dermatitis. In J. Esparza-Gordillo & I. Dekio (Eds.), Atopic dermatitis - atopic dermatitis -disease etiology and clinical management. London: IntechOpen.) and consists of nine groups of heat-stable SEs, namely SEH, SEB, SEA, SEC, SEE, SED, SEG, SEJ, and SEI (Argudín et al., 2010Argudín, M. Á., Mendoza, M. C., & Rodicio, M. R. (2010). Food poisoning and staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins. Toxins, 2(7), 1751-1773. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/toxins2071751. PMid:22069659.
http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/toxins2071751...
). It was estimated that about 20-30% of the human population are carriers for S. aureus (Tong et al., 2015Tong, S. Y. C., Davis, J. S., Eichenberger, E., Holland, T. L., & Fowler, V. G. Jr. (2015). Staphylococcus aureus infections: Epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and management. Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 28(3), 603-661. http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/CMR.00134-14. PMid:26016486.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/CMR.00134-14...
), which are coexist with human microbiota and cause abscesses and the infections of the skin (Carroll et al., 2017Carroll, D. E., Marr, I., Huang, G. K. L., Holt, D. C., Tong, S. Y. C., & Boutlis, C. S. (2017). Staphylococcus aureus prostatic abscess: a clinical case report and a review of the literature.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11882-019-085...
) and Staphylococcal foodborne disease (Kadariya et al., 2014Kadariya, J., Smith, T. C., & Thapaliya, D. (2014). Staphylococcus aureus and staphylococcal food-borne disease: an ongoing challenge in public health. BioMed Research International, 2014, 827965. http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/827965. PMid:24804250.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/827965...
). Heat treatment on food can kill S. aureus, but heating cannot deactivate SEs so that these toxins remain in the food, which in turn causes SFP (Hu & Nakane, 2014Hu, D. L., & Nakane, A. (2014). Mechanisms of staphylococcal enterotoxin-induced emesis. European Journal of Pharmacology, 722(1), 95-107. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ejphar.2013.08.050. PMid:24184671.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ejphar.2013....
). Therefore, it is vital to stop the growth of S. aureus in food, which can subsequently produce toxins.

Several synthetic chemical preservatives are used commercially, including salts, sugar, butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT), butylated hydroxy-anisole (BHA), tert-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ), nitrites, sodium nitrate, calcium propionate, and sulfite compounds such as sulfur dioxide, sodium bisulfite, disodium and potassium hydrogen (Walsh, 2007Walsh, J. (2007). Food and drug administration (U.S.). In P. Robbins (Ed.), Encyclopedia of environment and society (Vol. 1, pp. 693-693). Nova York: SAGE Publications, Inc.). The massive use of these synthetic preservatives in the food sector is mainly because these preservatives are commercially distributed in chemical stores. However, these chemicals are not always safe for human consumption because their overuse can cause health problems ranging from allergies and asthma to cancer (Dicks et al., 2017Dicks, L. M. T., van Staden, A. D. P., & Klumperman, B. (2017). Bacteriocins and nanotechnology. In R. Boukherroub, S. Szunerits & D. Drider (Eds.), Functionalized nanomaterials for the management of microbial infection: a strategy to address microbial drug resistance. USA: Elsevier Inc. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-323-41625-2.00007-7
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-323-416...
). Therefore, the development of safe, natural preservatives is critically needed. LABs produce various inhibitor compounds as primary and secondary metabolic end products like bacteriocins, hydrogen peroxide, and organic acids, especially lactic acid (Sankar et al., 2012Sankar, N. R., Priyanka, V. D., Reddy, P. S., Rajanikanth, P., Kumar, V. K., & Indira, M. (2012). Purification and Characterization of Bacteriocin Produced by Lactobacillus plantarum Isolated from Cow Milk. International Journal of Microbiological Research, 3(2), 133-137.; Zhou et al., 2014Zhou, F., Zhao, H., Bai, F., Piotr, D., Liu, Y., & Zhang, B. (2014). Purification and characterisation of the bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus plantarum, isolated from Chinese pickle. Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 32(5), 430-436. http://dx.doi.org/10.17221/270/2013-CJFS.
http://dx.doi.org/10.17221/270/2013-CJFS...
). Bio-preservation is a concept of using LAB and its antimicrobial products, including bacteriocin, to inhibit the growth of pathogenic and spoilage microbes in food (Stiles, 1996Stiles, M. E. (1996). Biopreservation by lactic acid bacteria. In Antonie van Leeuwenhoek. International Journal of General and Molecular Microbiology, 70(2-4), 331-345.). Bacteriocin is peptide molecules consisting of 12-100 amino acids with amphiphilic characteristics, cationic net charge, synthesized, and released to act extracellularly and have activity against other bacteria (Rios et al., 2016Rios, A. C., Moutinho, C. G., Pinto, F. C., Del Fiol, F. S., Jozala, A., Chaud, M. V., Vila, M. M. D. C., Teixeira, J. A., & Balcão, V. M. (2016). Alternatives to overcoming bacterial resistances: State-of-the-art. Microbiological Research, 191, 51-80. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.micres.2016.04.008. PMid:27524653.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.micres.2016....
). These peptides are considered GRAS (generally recognized as safe) and continue to interest many researchers because they have potential use in the pharmaceutical and food industries. In the food industry, bacteriocin has long been used to prevent food spoilage and foodborne diseases (Perez et al., 2014Perez, R. H., Zendo, T., & Sonomoto, K. (2014). Novel bacteriocins from lactic acid bacteria (LAB): Various structures and applications. Microbial Cell Factories, 13(Suppl 1), S1-S3. http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1475-2859-13-S1-S3. PMid:25186038.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1475-2859-13-S...
). These bacteriocins have many characteristics such as high stability, low toxicity, and a narrow to a broad spectrum of activity, making them suitable for clinical applications as safe, natural food preservatives (Bharti et al., 2015Bharti, V., Mehta, A., Singh, S., Jain, N., Ahirwal, L., & Mehta, S. (2015). Bacteriocin: a novel approach for preservation of food. International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, 7(9), 20-29.; Kitagawa et al., 2019Kitagawa, N., Otani, T., & Inai, T. (2019). Nisin, a food preservative produced by Lactococcus lactis, affects the localization pattern of intermediate filament protein in HaCaT cells.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12565-018-046...
; Zacharof & Lovitt, 2012Zacharof, M. P., & Lovitt, R. W. (2012). Bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria a review article. APCBEE Procedia, 2, 50-56. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apcbee.2012.06.010.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apcbee.2012....
). Enterococcus, lactobacillus, pediococcus, leuconostoc, and carnobacterium are genera of LAB that commonly produce bacteriocins (Bharti et al., 2015Bharti, V., Mehta, A., Singh, S., Jain, N., Ahirwal, L., & Mehta, S. (2015). Bacteriocin: a novel approach for preservation of food. International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, 7(9), 20-29.). LAB such as lactobacillus sp., streptococcus sp., leuconostocsp., and Lactococcussp. isolated from dadih, a kind of fermented buffalo milk product, have been tested for their antimutagenic activity against different mutagens (Hosono et al., 1990aHosono, A., Tanabe, T., & Otani, H. (1990a). Binding properties of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kefir milk with mutagenic amino acid pyrolyzates. Milchwissenschaft. Milk Science International, 45(10), 647-651.) and antimicrobial activity against listeria monocytogenes (Pato et al., 2020Pato, U., Yusuf, Y., Fitriani, S., Jonnadi, N. N., Wahyuni, M. S., Feruni, J. A., & Jaswir, I. (2020). Inhibitory activity of crude bacteriocin produced by lactic acid bacteria isolated from dadih against Listeria monocytogenes. Biodiversitas Journal of Biological Diversity, 21(4), 1295-1302. http://dx.doi.org/10.13057/biodiv/d210404.
http://dx.doi.org/10.13057/biodiv/d21040...
). The current work aimed to assess the antimicrobial activity of dadih’s LAB and to characterize the bacteriocin responsible for the antimicrobial activity against S. aureus.

2 Materials and methods

2.1 Media and chemicals

The media used for the activation of LAB and S. aureus FNCC-15 (Food and Nutrition Culture Collection) cultures and the antimicrobial test were MRS Broth (MRSB), Nutrient Broth (NB), and Nutrient Agar (NA). The chemicals used include ammonium sulfate, phosphate buffers, and chemicals for the molecular weight analysis of bacteriocin and amylase and proteolytic enzymes. All the media and chemicals were purchased from Merck and Sigma Aldrich (Singapore).

2.2 Pathogenic bacteria and Dadih’sLAB

The gram-positive pathogenic bacterium used was Staphylococcus aureus FNCC-15 was obtained from the Laboratory of Food Microbiology, Center for Food and Nutrition Studies, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Dadih samples were purchased from Bukittingi, West Sumatera, Indonesia. LAB was isolated and identified according to Hosono et al. (1990b)Hosono, A., Wardojo, R., & Otani, H. (1990b). Binding of amino acid pyrolyzates by lactic acid bacteria isolated from “dadih”. Lebensmittel - Wissenschaft + Technologie = Food science + technology, 23(2), 149-153. using API® 50 CH test.

2.3 Activation of the LAB culture and Staphylococcus aureus FNCC-15

The activation of LAB and S. aureus cultures was carried out according to the method described in our previous work (Pato et al., 2020Pato, U., Yusuf, Y., Fitriani, S., Jonnadi, N. N., Wahyuni, M. S., Feruni, J. A., & Jaswir, I. (2020). Inhibitory activity of crude bacteriocin produced by lactic acid bacteria isolated from dadih against Listeria monocytogenes. Biodiversitas Journal of Biological Diversity, 21(4), 1295-1302. http://dx.doi.org/10.13057/biodiv/d210404.
http://dx.doi.org/10.13057/biodiv/d21040...
). Each LAB culture was taken as much as 0.1 mL and put into a test tube containing 5 mL MRSB, then shaken evenly and incubated aerobically for 18 h at 37 °C. However, S. aureus was activated by inoculating 0.1 mL of the bacterial suspension into 5 ml NB, shaken evenly, and incubated aerobically for 18 h at 37 °C.

2.4 In vitro antimicrobial activity of LAB

LAB cultures were grown in MRSB and incubated aerobically for 24 h at 37°C; however, the indicator bacterium, S. aureus, was grown in NB for 24 h at 37 °C. One hundred µl of pathogenic microorganisms were placed and spread using glass hockey sticks on MRSA surface. The sterile disc papers were dipped into the LAB supernatants and sterile MRSB as a negative control. Disc papers with a diameter of 6 mm were then placed on the surface of the MRSA plates that been previously inoculated with indicator bacteria. The plates were then incubated at 37°C for 24 h, and the diameter of the growth inhibition zone was measured (Syukur et al., 2014aSyukur, S., Fachrial, E., & Jamsari, A. (2014a). Isolation, antimicrobial activity and protein bacteriocin characterization of lactic acid bacteria isolated from Dadih in Solok, West Sumatera. Indonesia, 5, 1096-1104.).

2.5 Production of bacteriocin

Dadih LABs were propagated in MRSB by adding inoculum as much as 10% of the active culture and incubation at 37 °C for 24 h. Then, the whole broth was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 15 min to get the supernatant. The supernatant separated from the cells was then added with 70% ammonium sulfate and put in the refrigerator (4 °C) for 12 h to precipitate the protein. This mixture was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm at 4 °C for 30 min to obtain crude bacteriocin (Sankar et al., 2012Sankar, N. R., Priyanka, V. D., Reddy, P. S., Rajanikanth, P., Kumar, V. K., & Indira, M. (2012). Purification and Characterization of Bacteriocin Produced by Lactobacillus plantarum Isolated from Cow Milk. International Journal of Microbiological Research, 3(2), 133-137.).

2.6 Bacteriocin characterization

Effect of pH

The effect of pH from 3 to 11 was carried out by adding 0.5 ml of bacteriocin into 4.5 mL of NB and then incubating for 30 min at 37 °C. After incubation, the antimicrobial activity of treated bacteriocin against S. aureus was assayed using the agar diffusion method (Syukur et al., 2014aSyukur, S., Fachrial, E., & Jamsari, A. (2014a). Isolation, antimicrobial activity and protein bacteriocin characterization of lactic acid bacteria isolated from Dadih in Solok, West Sumatera. Indonesia, 5, 1096-1104.).

Effect of temperature

The effect of heat treatment at 30 to 121 °C was carried out by adding 0.5 ml of bacteriocin into 4.5 mL of NB in test tubes. Each test tube was overlaid with paraffin oil and covered with aluminum foil to prevent evaporation during heating for 10 min at the temperature mentioned above. The antimicrobial activity of heated bacteriocins against S. aureus was carried out using the agar diffusion method (Syukur et al., 2014aSyukur, S., Fachrial, E., & Jamsari, A. (2014a). Isolation, antimicrobial activity and protein bacteriocin characterization of lactic acid bacteria isolated from Dadih in Solok, West Sumatera. Indonesia, 5, 1096-1104.).

Effect of amylase and proteolytic enzymes

The effect of amylase and proteolytic enzymes on the activity of bacteriocin was conducted according to the previous method (Zhou et al., 2014Zhou, F., Zhao, H., Bai, F., Piotr, D., Liu, Y., & Zhang, B. (2014). Purification and characterisation of the bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus plantarum, isolated from Chinese pickle. Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 32(5), 430-436. http://dx.doi.org/10.17221/270/2013-CJFS.
http://dx.doi.org/10.17221/270/2013-CJFS...
). The crude bacteriocin was treated with 5 mg/ml of amylase, trypsin, and proteinase, while phosphate buffer (0.5M, pH 7.0) was used as a control. The antimicrobial activity of the enzyme-treated bacteriocin against S. aureus was carried out using the agar diffusion method (Syukur et al., 2014bSyukur, S., Rijal, F., Jamsari, A., & Purwati, E. (2014b). Isolation and molecular characterization of lactic acid bacteria by using 16s rRNA from fermented buffalo milk (Dadih) in Sijunjung, West Sumatera. Research Journal of Pharmaceutical, Biological and Chemical Sciences, 5(6), 873-876.).

Purification and molecular weight determination of bacteriocin

The crude bacteriocin was dissolved in a phosphate buffer (0.1 M, pH 7.0) and dialyzed in the same buffer at 4 °C for 12 h. The dialyzed crude bacteriocin was then applied to the Sephadex LH-20 column (2.0 x 50 cm), which had been pre-filtered with the same phosphate buffer. The flow rate was set at 24 mL/h, and the fractions formed were collected as much as 10 ml each. The fractions that showed high antimicrobial activity were concentrated using a lyophilizer and then measured their molecular weight. The bacteriocin's molecular weight was determined using 12% SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis in the LKB Bromma 2050 Midget electrophoresis unit (Pharmacia Amersham Co). The gel then was stained using Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 and destained by washing with a mixture of acetic acid-methyl alcohol-water (5:5:1 v/v) for 12 h. The low molecular marker (10-100 kDa) with six polypeptides was used as a marker (Rajaram et al., 2010Rajaram, G., Manivasagan, P., Thilagavathi, B., & Saravanakumar, A. (2010). Purification and characterization of a bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus lactis isolated from marine environment. Advance Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2(2), 138-144.).

Statistical analysis

The data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS 18.0 Program for Windows (Munich, Germany), including Analysis of Variance and Duncan New Multiple Range Test at the 5% level.

3 Results and discussion

A total of 12 LAB strains used in this study were isolated from dadih. The isolated LAB strains are Leu. Paramesenteroides R-8, St. cremoris R-14, St. faecalis subsp. Liquefaciens R-19, St. lactis subsp. Diacetylactis R-22, Leuconostoc para mesenteroides R-31, St. lactis subsp. diacetylactis R-41, St. lactis subsp. diacetylactis R-43, Leuconostoc para mesenteroides R-45, Leuconostoc para mesenteroides R-49, St. faecalis subsp. Liquefaciens R-55 and St. faecalis subsp. liquefaciens R-56. The inhibition zone of cell-free supernatant for the twelve strains of LAB against Staphylococcus aureus is shown in Figure 1. These results indicated the secretion of antibacterial compounds into the extracellular environment during LAB growth, as shown by the clear zone. The strains R-22, R-45, R-49, R-19 showed higher antimicrobial properties, while R-8, R-14, and R-31 showed lower antimicrobial properties. The difference in antimicrobial activity of the isolated 12 strains of LAB is likely due to differences in the amount of lactic acid or the type of bacteriocin produced by each LAB. These results are in agreement with the results reported by several investigators who reported that LABs can inhibit the growth of S. aureus (Syukur et al., 2014aSyukur, S., Fachrial, E., & Jamsari, A. (2014a). Isolation, antimicrobial activity and protein bacteriocin characterization of lactic acid bacteria isolated from Dadih in Solok, West Sumatera.

http://dx.doi.org/10.21608/bvmj.2017.311...
). The current results also revealed that the strains R-8, R-14, and R-31 showed the lowest antimicrobial activity, so these three BAL strains were no longer used in the next tests.

The antimicrobial compounds released during LAB growth are generally in the form of organic acids, especially lactic acid diacetyl, hydrogen peroxide, or proteinaceous bacteriocin (Bharti et al., 2015Bharti, V., Mehta, A., Singh, S., Jain, N., Ahirwal, L., & Mehta, S. (2015). Bacteriocin: a novel approach for preservation of food. International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, 7(9), 20-29.). To find out the antimicrobial compounds of the highest nine antimicrobial LABs, the tests were continued to estimate the sensitivity of their supernatant to various pH treatments, and the results are shown in Table 1. The supernatant of R-49 and R-56 lost their activity when the pH was adjusted from 7 to 11. However, the activity of R-22 was lost at pH 9 to 11. These results suggested that organic acids, especially lactic acid which produced during the growth of LAB, play a role in inhibiting S. aureus growth. Several researchers have previously reported similar results about antimicrobial activity of organic acids produced by various strains of LAB, mainly lactic acid, against S. aureus (Pato et al., 2017Pato, U., Djohan, V. S., Khairunnisa, F., & Hasibuan, R. D. H. (2017). Antibiotic resistance and antibacterial activity of dadih originated Lactobacillus Casei Subsp. Casei R-68 against food borne pathogens. Asian Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology and Environmental Sciences, 19(3), 577-587.).

Table 1
Sensitivity of antimicrobial activity of supernatant from dadih’s lactic acid bacteria against Staphylococcus aureus at various pHs.

The antimicrobial components of the other six LAB strains, R-19, R-32, R-43, R-45, R-49, and R-55, are most likely proteinous bacteriocin. This is characterized by no loss in the inhibitory zones even though the pH of the supernatant was adjusted to 11. The results illustrated in Table 2 showed that bacteriocin is a protein or peptide resistant to high temperature. The antimicrobial potential of heat-killed supernatant supports the thermostable nature of the antimicrobial compounds (Perez et al., 2014Perez, R. H., Zendo, T., & Sonomoto, K. (2014). Novel bacteriocins from lactic acid bacteria (LAB): Various structures and applications. Microbial Cell Factories, 13(Suppl 1), S1-S3. http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1475-2859-13-S1-S3. PMid:25186038.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.copbio.2017....
).

Table 2
Sensitivity of antimicrobial activity of crude bacteriocin from dadih’s lactic acid bacteria against Staphylococcus aureus at various heat temperatures.

Additionally, the data in Table 2 also showed that the compounds that are probable to be bacteriocin presented in the supernatants were still resistant to temperatures up to 121 °C, even though there was a significant decrease in their antimicrobial activity (p < 0.05). Cell-free supernatant from the six dadih’s LAB is shown to induce antimicrobial activity, resistant to various heating temperatures and pH. The sensitivity of the produced bacteriocin was further tested using various enzymes, and the results are presented in Table 3. These results indicated that treatment with amylase resulted in the loss of antimicrobial activity of crude bacteriocin against S. aureus and suggested that the component of the crude bacteriocin responsible for the antimicrobial effect is not starch but protein. This statement was supported by the loss of antimicrobial activity of crude bacteriocin treated with proteolytic enzymes such as trypsin and proteinase K. Thus, the current results showed that the bacteriocin produced by LAB is a highly thermostable proteinaceous compound with antimicrobial activity even after autoclaving at 121 °C (Perez et al., 2014Perez, R. H., Zendo, T., & Sonomoto, K. (2014). Novel bacteriocins from lactic acid bacteria (LAB): Various structures and applications. Microbial Cell Factories, 13(Suppl 1), S1-S3. http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1475-2859-13-S1-S3. PMid:25186038.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/1475-2859-13-S...
). Most of the LAB bacteriocins are peptide compounds, heat resistant, cationic, and amphiphilic (Zacharof & Lovitt, 2012Zacharof, M. P., & Lovitt, R. W. (2012). Bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria a review article. APCBEE Procedia, 2, 50-56. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apcbee.2012.06.010.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apcbee.2012....
).

Table 3
Antimicrobial activity of crude bacteriocin from dadih’s lactic acid bacteria against Staphylococcus aureus treated with various enzymes.

The antimicrobial activities of the crude bacteriocin against S. aureus (Figure 2) revealed that the six LAB strains produce bacteriocin able to inhibit S. aureus growth with different inhibition zones and suggesting that this antimicrobial activity is strain-dependent. Similarly, some researchers reported that bacteriocin isolated from various fermented foods can suppress S. aureus growth (Abanoz & Kunduhoglu, 2018Abanoz, H. S., & Kunduhoglu, B. (2018). Antimicrobial activity of a bacteriocin produced by enterococcus faecalis kt11 against some pathogens and antibiotic-resistant Bacteria. Korean Journal for Food Science of Animal Resources, 38(5), 1064-1079. http://dx.doi.org/10.5851/kosfa.2018.e40. PMid:30479512.
http://dx.doi.org/10.5851/kosfa.2018.e40...
). The greatest antimicrobial activity against S. aureus was found in R-55, which showed high antimicrobial activity against Listeria monocytogenes, but it showed relatively low antimicrobial activity against E. coli (Pato et al., 2020Pato, U., Yusuf, Y., Fitriani, S., Jonnadi, N. N., Wahyuni, M. S., Feruni, J. A., & Jaswir, I. (2020). Inhibitory activity of crude bacteriocin produced by lactic acid bacteria isolated from dadih against Listeria monocytogenes. Biodiversitas Journal of Biological Diversity, 21(4), 1295-1302. http://dx.doi.org/10.13057/biodiv/d210404.
http://dx.doi.org/10.13057/biodiv/d21040...
). This fact indicated that the R-55 strain selectively has a higher antimicrobial activity against gram-positive bacteria than gram-negative bacteria (Bharti et al., 2015Bharti, V., Mehta, A., Singh, S., Jain, N., Ahirwal, L., & Mehta, S. (2015). Bacteriocin: a novel approach for preservation of food.

The molecular weight of bacteriocins isolated and purified from St. faecalis subsp. liquefaciens R-55 is presented in Figure 3. Based on SDS-PAGE analysis, it is found that the molecular weight of this bacteriocin was 14.4 kDa. The bacteriocins produced by several LAB vary to a great extent depending on the genus and species. Some bacteriocins have a molecular weight of greater, less, or almost the same as the molecular weight of bacteriocins produced by the R-55 strain. The molecular weight of bacteriocins from Lactobacillus plantarum isolated from Chinese pikel was almost the same as the bacteriocin molecular weight produced by strain R-55, namely 16.5 kDa (Zhou et al., 2014Zhou, F., Zhao, H., Bai, F., Piotr, D., Liu, Y., & Zhang, B. (2014). Purification and characterisation of the bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus plantarum, isolated from Chinese pickle. Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 32(5), 430-436. http://dx.doi.org/10.17221/270/2013-CJFS.
http://dx.doi.org/10.17221/270/2013-CJFS...
). However, Lactobacillus lactis isolated from the marine environment produced bacteriocin with a molecular weight of 94 kDa, much greater than that produced by R-55. Most LAB bacteriocins are peptide compounds with small molecular weights of less than 10 kDa (Zacharof & Lovitt, 2012Zacharof, M. P., & Lovitt, R. W. (2012). Bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria a review article. APCBEE Procedia, 2, 50-56. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apcbee.2012.06.010.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apcbee.2012....
). Enterococcus faecalis KT11 produced bacteriocin with a molecular weight of 3.5 kDa (Abanoz & Kunduhoglu, 2018Abanoz, H. S., & Kunduhoglu, B. (2018). Antimicrobial activity of a bacteriocin produced by enterococcus faecalis kt11 against some pathogens and antibiotic-resistant Bacteria. Korean Journal for Food Science of Animal Resources, 38(5), 1064-1079. http://dx.doi.org/10.5851/kosfa.2018.e40. PMid:30479512.
http://dx.doi.org/10.5851/kosfa.2018.e40...
), and Lactobacillus virisdescence NICM 2167 released bacteriocin with a molecular weight of 8.3 kDa (Sure et al., 2016Sure, K. P., Kotnis, P. V., Bhagwat, P. K., Ranveer, R. C., Dandge, P. B., & Sahoo, A. K. (2016). Production and characterization of bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus viridescence(NICM 2167). Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 59, 1-7.). The bacteriocin produced by Pediococcus pentosaceus zy B isolated from the intestine of Mimachlamys nobilis had a molecular weight of 2.22 kDa (Zhang et al., 2020Zhang, Y., Yang, J., Liu, Y., Wu, Y., Fang, Z., Wang, Y., Sun, L., Deng, Q., Gooneratne, R., & Xiao, L. (2020). A novel bacteriocin PE-ZYB1 produced by Pediococcus pentosaceus zy-B isolated from intestine of Mimachlamys nobilis: purification, identification and its anti-listerial action.

http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.lwt.2019.108...
). Plantaricin produced from Lactobacillus plantarum IIA-1A5 showed a size of about 9.6 kDa (Fatmarani et al., 2018Fatmarani, R., Arief, I. I., & Budiman, C. (2018). Purification of bacteriocin from Lactobacillus plantarum IIA-1A5 grown in various whey cheese media under freeze dried condition.

).

4 Conclusions

The current study showed that 12 LABs were isolated from dadih, and all of them could suppress the growth of S. aureus with various inhibition zone. The antimicrobial activity of LAB against S. aureus is mainly due to the production of organic acids, especially lactic acid by strains R-8, R-14, and R-49 or the production of bacteriocins by strains R-19, R- 32, R-41, R-43, R-45, and R-55. The bacteriocin derived from R-55 showed the highest antimicrobial activity against S. aureus among the bacteriocin-producing LAB. The molecular weight of bacteriocin produced by R-55 was 14.4 kDa. This study concluded that dadih is a suitable source for the production of LAB, which can produce the antimicrobial bacteriocin to be used in the preservation of food against the pathogenic S. aureus.
