This study aimed to explore the effects of siderophore synthetase gene deletion on the growth, quorum sensing (QS), and spoilage potential of Pseudomonas fragi (P. fragi). The results showed that the deletion of the siderophore biosynthesis gene significantly slowed down the growth rate of P. fragi. The mutant strain exhibited reduced apoptosis rate, biofilm formation, extracellular protease expression, and signal molecule production compared with the wild-type strain, indicating a reduced spoilage ability.
Siderophores are important factors in the spoilage process of Pseudomonas fragi, considered to be one of the main spoilage bacterium of tuna, and the secretion of siderophores is regulated by quorum sensing (QS). This study aimed to construct a mutant with the deletion of the siderophore synthetase gene of P. fragi (MS-10), and to explore its effects on the growth, QS, and spoilage potential of P. fragi. The results showed that the deletion of the siderophore biosynthesis gene slowed down the growth rate of the strain. The apoptosis rate increased by 27.7 % compared with that of the wild-type strain at 4 degrees C for 48 h. Biofilm formation, extracellular protease expression, and signal molecule production were all significantly lower in the mutant strain compared with the wild-type strain. The total viable count and the histamine content showed that the tuna sterile fish block inoculated with the wild-type strain exceeded the acceptable standards by 5 days and was completely spoiled by 7 days, whereas the mutant strain exceeded the acceptable standards by 6 days and was completely spoiled by 9 days. The pH, texture, and other indicators showed that the variation range of the mutant strain was lower than that of the wild-type strain. The deletion of the siderophore biosynthesis gene reduced the spoilage ability of P. fragi. Based on the results, the development of novel preservation agents targeting the control of the siderophore biosynthesis gene could be a new idea for the preservation of aquatic products.
