Abstract:
:P. fluorescens is responsible for the highest depredation of milk because of its capacity to synthesize extracellular lipase and protease which hydrolyze milk fat and proteins. Several P. fluorescens synthesize an extracellular caseinolytic metalloprotease, called AprX. It is important to rapidly detect the presence of a contamination of raw milk by a strain, especially a P. fluorescens strain, having a high potential of depredation. If standard plate count procedures are often employed, they are time consuming and do not permit to rapidly evaluate the potential of depredation. An alternative method consists to search the aprX gene, but such a method remains of low sensitivity and does not allow evaluating the real potential of depredation of the contaminant. After a milk depredation event, three strains of Pseudomonas spp. (F, 2312 and 2313) have been isolated from a dairy plant. Using molecular and phenotypic approaches, these strains were identified as P. fluorescens strains. Their respective extracellular caseinolytic potential was characterized as well as that of several collection strains of P. fluorescens. It appeared that these strains secreted one protease of about 45 kDa, that their extracellular caseinolytic potential was highly variable for one strain to another and that the one of strain F was the highest. The protease secreted by the strain F was purified and its N-terminal sequence established. It shared 100% identity with the domain 14-34 of extracellular alkaline endoprotease sequences which are called AprX for some of them. Its gene was sequenced as well as that of two collection strains of P. fluorescens having a significant lower extracellular caseinolytic potential. The genomic environment of the aprX gene as well as its expression during the strain growth was investigated. It appears that the difference of extracellular caseinolytic potential which has been observed between the three strains does not mainly result from the AprX sequence/structure but it might rather result from the aprX level of expression.
