Abstract
Pseudomonas fluorescens is an important psychrotrophic food-spoilage bacterium. Quorum sensing (QS) enables bacteria to control various physiological processes. Hence, targeting bacterial QS would be a novel method to improve food quality. In this study, P. fluorescens P07 was treated with vanillin, which showed strong QS inhibitory activity, and its resultant effects on swarming motility, biofilm formation, and extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) secretion were measured. The mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effects were then explored by transcriptomic analysis. The results showed that vanillin had inhibitory effects on swarming motility, biofilm formation, N-acyl-L-homoserine Lactone (AHLs) and EPS secretion of P. fluorescens P07. The result of transcriptionomic tests indicated that the decrease in bacterial biofilm formation was probably due to the influence of vanillin on mobility, adhesion, chemotaxis, EPS secretion, and QS system of the bacteria.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Science and Technology (JFST) is the official publication of the Association of Food Scientists and Technologists of India (AFSTI). This monthly publishes peer-reviewed research papers and reviews in all branches of science, technology, packaging and engineering of foods and food products. Special emphasis is given to fundamental and applied research findings that have potential for enhancing product quality, extend shelf life of fresh and processed food products and improve process efficiency. Critical reviews on new perspectives in food handling and processing, innovative and emerging technologies and trends and future research in food products and food industry byproducts are also welcome. The journal also publishes book reviews relevant to all aspects of food science, technology and engineering.
