Title
Physiological studies of the Pediococcus pentosaceus biofilm
Abstract
© 2020 The Society for Applied Microbiology Pediococcus pentosaceus, a bacterium recently used in human and animal probiotics, was used in combination with supports made from polylactic acid composite soybean meal was used to study biofilm formation, and it was found that dense biofilms developed by Day 1. Proteomic comparison between planktonic and biofilm cultures of P. pentosaceus showed distinct expression patterns of intracellular and extracellular proteins. Type I glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was upregulated in biofilm cultures and mediated cell adhesion and encouraged biofilm production. GMP synthase, which regulates GMP synthesis and acts as an intracellular signal molecule to control cell mechanisms and has been exploited in the development of new therapeutic agents, was also upregulated in the biofilm mode of growth. The present work serves as a basis for future studies examining the complex network of systems that regulate lactic acid bacterial (LAB) biofilm formation and can serve as a framework for studies of production of therapeutic agents from LAB.
