Abstract

There are numerous factors restricting wide application of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in dairy industry, causing urgent demands for novel bioprotectants. Protective effects and metabolites of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis (L. lactis) from ultraviolet (UV)-induced supernatant were investigated and the protective mechanism was explored. The strain viability of the group treated with the supernatant of continuous UV irradiation (V1) and the group with intermittent UV irradiation (V2) was 8.45 and 14.13 times of the control group, respectively. Further exploration on the protective of L. lactis supernatant, under different dose of UV treatment, showed it was dose-dependent. The condition for the supernatant with best protective effect was vertical distance 50.00 cm, horizontal distance 25.00 cm, intermittent UV irradiation (30 s interval 30 s) for 4.5 min (V2), which was chose for untargeted metabolite analysis. And that in V1 was for comparative study. There were 181 up-regulated metabolites in V1 and 161 up-regulated metabolites in V2, respectively. Most of the up-regulated metabolites were related to secondary metabolite synthesis, environmental microbial metabolism, antibiotic synthesis and amino acid biosynthesis. Notably, production of dithiothreitol (DTT) in V2 was 65.2-fold higher than that in the control group. Trehalose in ABC transporter pathway was also up-regulated in the metabolites induced by UV. Results indicated that L. lactis could adapt to the UV stress by adjusting metabolic pathways and producing special metabolites to protect itself. This research offers the basis for robust strain development and contributes to initial study on potential bioprotectant.
