Characterization of a Leuconostoc gelidum bacteriophage from pork.

Abstract:

:A new bacteriophage (phage ggg) and its host, Leuconostoc gelidum LRC-BD, were isolated from vacuum-packaged pork loins. Homogenates of pork loin tissue were enriched with L. gelidum LRC-BD to isolate phages. Cultural, biochemical and genetic methods were used to compare L. gelidum LRC-BD and the type strain, L. gelidum ATCC 49366. The phages were characterized by host range, morphology and phage-bacterial interaction in All Purpose Tween (APT) broth and on pork adipose tissue. With the exception of its inability to produce dextran from sucrose and the fermentation of l-arabinose, L. gelidum LRC-BD was culturally and biochemically similar to L. gelidum ATCC 49366. DNA-relatedness of the strains was confirmed by sequencing of the 16s rRNA gene. Electron microscopic observation revealed that phage ggg was a member of the Siphoviridae. The host range was limited to L. gelidum isolates from meats. Phages were able to replicate and limit the growth of L. gelidum LRC-BD in APT broth incubated aerobically and anaerobically at 4 degrees C, with a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.001. When inoculated pork adipose tissue was stored at 4 degrees C in air or vacuum, phages could multiply but a higher MOI (0.01 to 1000) was necessary to limit the growth of L. gelidum LRC-BD. Naturally occurring phages may affect the numbers of L. gelidum and other lactic acid bacteria residing in meats and thereby alter the storage quality or the preservative potential of competitive strains.
