Lactobacilli have diverse structures and compositions of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This study investigated the changes in EPS production by Lactobacillus plantarum VAL6 under thermal stress and increased CO2 concentration. The EPS yield reached the highest under CO2 exposure, with altered monosaccharide composition.
Lactobacilli are able to produce exopolysaccharides (EPSs) with a wide diversity in structure and composition. However, changes in EPS production under environmental challenges are largely unknown. Here, to examine our hypothesis that EPS biosynthesis in lactobacilli is modulated by environmental conditions, we quantified and characterized the EPSs produced by Lactobacillus plantarum VAL6 following thermal stress and increased carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration. We found that the EPS yield and composition of L. plantarum strain VAL6 were markedly affected by these treatment conditions. The highest EPS yield reached 17.32 g/L under CO2 exposure, 2.2-fold higher compared to the control. The monosaccharide composition of synthesized EPSs was also altered when L. plantarum VAL6 was exposed to thermal stress and CO2 concentration increase. Whereas proportion of mannose was lower, glucose and galactose contents were higher than those in non-stressed variants. Both increased CO2 concentration and stress at 47 degrees C enhanced the proportion of rhamnose in EPSs. Moreover, thermal stress and increased CO2 concentration triggered the expression of the genes involved in EPS biosynthesis, e.g., glmU, pgmB1, epsE, epsF, wzx, and wzy. Furthermore, the expression of epsE and epsF resulted in an increase in the content of galactose and glucose in EPS monosaccharide composition.
