Ultrasound Attenuation Improves Some Surface Properties of the Probiotic Strain Lacticaseibacillus casei ATCC 393
Ultrasound attenuation has been recently proposed as a tool to modulate probiotic metabolism. The study aimed to characterize the response of the probiotic Lacticaseibacillus casei ATCC 393 to sonication. Two ultrasound treatments were tested (57 W, duty cycle 50%, 6 or 8 min). Attenuation was asses...

description | Ultrasound attenuation has been recently proposed as a tool to modulate probiotic metabolism. The study aimed to characterize the response of the probiotic Lacticaseibacillus casei ATCC 393 to sonication. Two ultrasound treatments were tested (57 W, duty cycle 50%, 6 or 8 min). Attenuation was assessed as a pH decrease in MRS broth after 6 and 24 h of incubation at 37 °C. Cultivability was evaluated by plate count immediately after sonication and by growth index on overnight cultures. Surface changes were determined by auto-aggregation, hydrophobicity, biofilm production tests, and by membrane damages. The 6 min treatment induced a temporary attenuation, while a prolongated exposure to sonic waves caused major attenuation effects (ΔpH 0.97 after 24 h). Both sonication treatments affected probiotic cultivability with a significant (p < 0.05) reduction of plate counts and an alteration of the growth index. Although auto-aggregation was negatively affected upon sonication, the hydrophobicity and biofilm production were improved with no significant differences (p > 0.05) between the sonicated samples. Moreover, sonicated L. casei ATCC 393 resulted in increased membrane permeability. These results suggest that ultrasound technology can be successfully used to modulate the L. casei ATCC 393 fermentative metabolism and to improve its surface properties. |
