1 Introduction
Tianjin. The isolated phage was further characterized, including morphology, burst
size, latent time, genome size and host range. The data of this study may provide
valuable information for the prevention of phage infection in the production of the
fermented Chinese cabbage.
MRS medium was composed of 20 g/L glucose, 10 g/L peptone, 8 g/L beef
extract, 4 g/L yeast extract, 5 g/L sodium acetate, 2 g/L ammonium citrate, 0.2 g/L
MgSO4, 0.05 g/L MnSO4, 2 g/L KH2PO4, and 0.1% Tween-80 [11]. MRS
(pH = 5.0) and MRS (pH = 6.4) were used for lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolation
and cultivation, respectively. Broth was used for liquid cultures, 1.5% solid agar
medium was used for bacteria plating, and 0.5% semi-solid agar medium was used
for phage plaque-forming assays. Both plates and liquid cultivations were statically
incubated at 30 °C.
The isolated LAB strains were used as indicator for isolating phage from the
fermented Chinese cabbage samples. In brief, added 1 mL samples to 100 mL
MRS medium, and incubated at 30 °C for 48 h to enrich phages. The phages were
isolated by the double-layer plating technique. The propagation of phage was done
as previously described in order to obtain high titer lysates [13]. Phage lysate was
filtered through a 0.2 lm-pore size sterile filter and stored at 4 °C for future use.
Isolation and Characterization of a Virulent Phage H6 Infecting … 5
The phage preparations was further treated with DNase I (1 lg/mL) and RNase A
(1 lg/mL) at 37 °C for 30 min. The treated lysate was washed ten times with
0.1 mol/L ammonium acetate solution (pH = 7.0) using the 100 kD Amicon filters.
The retained phage solution was used directly for negative staining as described
previously [14]. Photographs were taken with a JROL1011 transmission electron
microscope operating at 100 kV.
As described previously [15], spotting assay was conducted to determine the sen-
sitivity of the isolated phages to the host strains. The double-layer method was used
to further confirm the above results.
The 100 mL phage lysate was used for phage DNA extraction using the
phenol-chloroform method described previously [16]. Purified phage genomic
DNA was subjected to digestions with several restriction endonucleases, including
EcoRI, EcoRV, XbaI, HindIII, SmaI, StuI and BamHI, respectively. The genome
size was estimated by compilation of DNA fragment sizes resulting from the seven
restriction enzymes digestion profiles.
Purified phage particles were further filtered through the Amicon-100 filter, and
washed three times with 0.1 mol/L ammonium acetate solution (pH = 7.0). Treated
phage particles were subjected to SDS-PAGE directly, and the gel stained with
Coomassie Blue R-250.
One-step growth experiment was carried out according to the previous descriptions
[17]. In brief, 50 mL bacterial cells were incubated to mid-exponential-phase
(OD600 = 0.5–0.6) and harvested by centrifugation at 6000 rpm for 10 min.
6 K. Huang et al.
The pellet was resuspended in 0.5 mL fresh MRS medium and mixed with 0.5 mL
phage solution (1 106 pfu/mL). Phage was allowed to adsorb for 1 min and the
mixture was subjected to centrifuge immediately at 13,000 rpm for 30 s to remove
free phage particles. The treated pellet was resuspended in 100 mL fresh MRS
medium and the culture was continuously incubated at 30 °C. Samples were taken
at 15 min intervals and phage titre was determined by the double-layer plate
method. The latent period was deduced from the triphasic curve. The burst size of
phage was calculated by dividing the phage titers at the plateau phase by the
infective centers number at the latent phase.
The logarithmic cultures of the strain J68 were mixed with the phage lysate at
different MOIs (MOI = 100, 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0). The 96-well plate was filled with
the 300 lL mixture per well, and the value of OD600 was measured at 2 h intervals
by ELISA reader (GS40A24).
3 Results
Eight isolated strains from the fermented Chinese cabbage samples were confirmed
the identity by analyzing their 16S rDNA gene sequence. The resulted sequences
were deposited to GenBank and aligned to search for the most similar sequences. In
final, six collected strains were validated to be Lactobacillus brevis, other two
strains belonged to Lactobacillus plantarum.
L. brevis J68 was used as indicator strain for virulent bacteriophages screening from
the fermented Chinese cabbage samples. A phage was eventually isolated and
named H6. Its plaques were circular, clear and transparent with smooth edge,
showing 1–2 mm in diameter. At the MOI = 0.01, titer of phage H6 reached
1 109 pfu/mL in MRS and 5 109 pfu/mL in MRS with CaCl2 (2.375 g/L).
Isolation and Characterization of a Virulent Phage H6 Infecting … 7
The susceptibility to phage H6 was investigated with isolated strains from fer-
mented Chinese cabbage samples and other strains, they included six L. brevis, six
L. plantarum, two Lactobacillus vaginalis, nine Lactobacillus reuteri, two
Weissella cibaria, one Lactobacillus curvatus and one Lactobacillus johnsonii. We
found that all six L. brevis strains were sensitive to phage H6, and other strains all
were resistant to phage H6. The sequences of 16S rDNA showed that there were
differences among six L. brevis strains. The result indicated that phage H6 might
have a broad host range and was capable of infecting multiple isolates of
Lactobacillus brevis, however, phage H6 didn’t infect lactic acid bacteria from
other genera.
The treated phage solution was used directly for negative staining. Images of phage
H6 were developed using transmission electron microscope (Fig. 1). The obtained
image showed that phage H6 had an icosahedra head of 93.3 nm in diameter and a
long contractile tail about 166.6 nm in length, and it was classified as a lytic phage
of Myoviridae in Caudovirales.
Phage H6 was amplified and its genomic DNA was extracted. Purified genomic
DNA was digested with several restriction endonucleases, including EcoRI,
EcoRV, XbaI, HindIII, SmaI, StuI and BamHI, as subsequently subjected to elec-
trophoretic analyses (Fig. 2). Based on the digestion profiles of EcoRI, EcoRV,
XbaI, and HindIII, the genome size was determined to be approximately at the
range of 59.6–61.2 kb. The restriction enzymes analysis also indicated that phage
H6 was a dsDNA virus.
Purified phage particles were subjected to SDS-PAGE and proteomic patterns were
obtained after Coomassie Blue R-250 staining (Fig. 3). Totally, six protein bands
were displayed on the gel with the molecular weights ranging approximately from
30 to 60 kD.
One-step growth experiment was performed to determine the latent time and burst
size of phage H6. As inferred from the triphasic curve (Fig. 4), the latent period was
about 90 min and the burst size was about 40.4 pfu/infection center.
The lysis ability of phage H6 to the Lactobacillus brevis J68 was measured at
different MOIs. As shown in Fig. 5, with the increase of phage titeres, the bacte-
riostatic ability of phage H6 gradually strengthened. At the MOI = 1, the growth of
strain J68 appeared to decline in the 10th hour; the strain J68 hardly grew at the
MOI = 10 or 100.
4 Discussion
linear or circular. The analysis of phage H6 structural proteins showed that there
was a huge protein band at 60 kD, we speculated that it contains several protein
bands and this assumption can be verified by mass spectrometry. The data from this
study can provide more information about L. brevis bacteriophages. The objectives
of this study were to provide more formulation in order to prevent infection of
bacteriophages in fermented Chinese cabbage.

Molecular Cloning and Biochemical
Characterization of Oligo-1,6-Glucosidases
from Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus
licheniformis
1 Introduction
Escherichia coli JM109, P. pastoris strain GS115 and vector pPIC9K were
obtained from Invitrogen (Carlasbad, CA).
The described method [6] was used to measure the activities of oligo-1,6-gluco-
sidases from B. subtilis and B. licheniformis.
pH optima of BsOG and BlOG were analyzed by incubating them for 15 min at
37 °C as described above.
The optimal reaction temperatures of BsOG and BlOG were determined at
temperatures ranging from 15 to 70 °C at pH 6.8.
Hydrolysis of isomaltotriose and IMOs by BsOG and BlOG were performed and
analyzed as described above except that isomaltotriose were dissolved in 0.2 M
phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) to a final concentration of 4 mM and that samples were
withdrawn at different times for HPLC analysis.
3 Results
BsOG and BlOG were pre-incubated in 0.2 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) at 50 °C,
and the residual activities were measured at the indicated times. Incubation at 50 °C
for 20 min, BsOG and BlOG activity were not detected.
The relative activities of BsOG and BlOG at various pHs were measured with two
different buffer systems at 37 °C. The effects of pH over a range of 4.0–10.0 on the
activities of BsOG and BlOG. The optimal pH of BsOG and BlOG were 7.0 and
6.5. BsOG had a relatively broad pH optimum ranging from 6.0 to 9.5. The opti-
mum pH range of BlOG was 5.5–7.5.
The ability of BsOG and BlOG to hydrolyze various di- and maltooligosaccharides,
as well as a-glucan polymers, such as amylose and amylopectin, was determined.
As shown in Table 1, both BsOG and BlOG hydrolyzed isomaltose, isomaltotriose,
isomaltulose, panose, sucrose, amylopectin and maltodextrin, and exhibited weak
activity against amylose. However, no activity was observed toward maltose and
maltotriose. BsOG and BlOG also exhibited a-1,2-glucosidase activity on sucrose,
in accord with the substrate specificity of isomaltase from S. cerevisiae [2]. This
restricted substrate specificity indicated that these two enzymes were oligo-1,6-
glucosidases [7]. Oligo-1,6-glucosidase prefers isomaltotriose, and hyrolyzes IMOs
and dextran [7]. On the other hand, S. cerevisiae isomaltase preferentially cleaves
