The microbiota of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in thirty-five samples of Miang, a traditional fermented tea leaf product, collected from twenty-two different regions of eight provinces in upper northern Thailand was revealed through the culture-dependent technique. A total of 311 presumptive LAB strains were isolated and subjected to clustering analysis based on repetitive genomic element-PCR (rep-PCR) fingerprinting profiles. The majority of the strains belonged to the Lactobacillus genera with an overwhelming predominance of the Lb. plantarum group. Further studies of species-specific PCR showed that 201 of 252 isolates in the Lb. plantarum group were Lb. plantarum which were thus considered as the predominant LAB in Miang, while the other 51 isolates belonged to Lb. pentosus. In contrast to Lb. plantarum, there is a lack of information on the tannase gene and the tea tannin-tolerant ability of Lb. pentosus. Of the 51 Lb. pentosus isolates, 33 were found to harbor the genes encoding tannase and shared 93-99% amino acid identity with tannase obtained from Lb. pentosus ATCC 8041T. Among 33 tannase gene-positive isolates, 23 isolates exhibited high tannin- tolerant capabilities when cultivated on de Man Rogosa and Sharpe agar-containing bromocresol purple (0.02 g/L, MRS-BCP) supplemented with 20% (v/v) crude tea extract, which corresponded to 2.5% (w/v) tannins. These Lb. pentosus isolates with high tannin-tolerant capacity are expected to be the high potential strains for functional tannase production involved in Miang fermentation as they will bring about certain benefits and could be used to improve the fermentation of tea products.

<P><B>Significance</B></P><P>In general, animals have a mouth for feeding, an anus for defecation, and a gut connecting them for digestion and absorption. However, we discovered that the stinkbug’s gut is functionally disconnected in the middle by a previously unrecognized organ for symbiont sorting, which blocks food fluid and nonsymbiotic bacteria but selectively allows passing of a specific bacterial symbiont. Though very tiny and inconspicuous, the organ governs the configuration and specificity of stinkbug gut symbiosis, wherein the posterior gut region is devoid of food flow, populated by a specific bacterial symbiont, and transformed into an isolated organ for symbiosis. Mutant analyses showed that the symbiont’s flagellar motility is needed for passing the host organ, highlighting intricate host–symbiont interactions underpinning the symbiont sorting process.</P><P>Symbiosis has significantly contributed to organismal adaptation and diversification. For establishment and maintenance of such host–symbiont associations, host organisms must have evolved mechanisms for selective incorporation, accommodation, and maintenance of their specific microbial partners. Here we report the discovery of a previously unrecognized type of animal organ for symbiont sorting. In the bean bug <I>Riptortus pedestris</I>, the posterior midgut is morphologically differentiated for harboring specific symbiotic bacteria of a beneficial nature. The sorting organ lies in the middle of the intestine as a constricted region, which partitions the midgut into an anterior nonsymbiotic region and a posterior symbiotic region. Oral administration of GFP-labeled <I>Burkholderia</I> symbionts to nymphal stinkbugs showed that the symbionts pass through the constricted region and colonize the posterior midgut. However, administration of food colorings revealed that food fluid enters neither the constricted region nor the posterior midgut, indicating selective symbiont passage at the constricted region and functional isolation of the posterior midgut for symbiosis. Coadministration of the GFP-labeled symbiont and red fluorescent protein-labeled <I>Escherichia coli</I> unveiled selective passage of the symbiont and blockage of <I>E. coli</I> at the constricted region, demonstrating the organ’s ability to discriminate the specific bacterial symbiont from nonsymbiotic bacteria. Transposon mutagenesis and screening revealed that symbiont mutants in flagella-related genes fail to pass through the constricted region, highlighting that both host’s control and symbiont’s motility are involved in the sorting process. The blocking of food flow at the constricted region is conserved among diverse stinkbug groups, suggesting the evolutionary origin of the intestinal organ in their common ancestor.</P>

Helicobacter pylori increased the γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) production under low-pH (maximal at pH 4) and appropriate pCO2 conditions, while the production of GGT mRNA correlated with increased total enzyme activity. At pH 4, the bacterium augmented enzyme production in the presence of glutamine (~10 mM) in the medium, which predominantly occurred after a 6-min time-lag. Monovalent salts such as NaCl or NH4Cl facilitated enzymatic activation in acidic solutions of approximately pH 4.5. In addition, glutathione`s γ-glutamyl moiety cysteinylglycine appeared to be taken up readily by the intact H. pylori, but not by the one pretreated with a potent GGT inhibitor, acivicin, suggesting that the GGT may partake in glutathione uptake by the cell.
