  1. Chapter 28 Applied and Industrial Microbiology

  2. Food Microbiology • Food preservation essential for modern civilization • Many methods discovered by accident • Foods prepared centrally and widely distributed • FDA and USDA • Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point • “Farm to the Fork”

  3. Home canning • Commercial sterilization • Uses retort • Thermophilic bacteria may be resistant

  4. Thermophilic anaerobic spoilage • low-acid foods • Can swells, lowered pH and sour smell • Flat sour spoilage • Can not swollen as no gas is produced • Mesophilic spoilage • under processed or contaminated foods

  5. Lower temps used with acidic foods • Some microbes both heat and acid resistant

  6. Aseptic packaging • Plastics or paper • Hydrogen peroxide, UV light, electron beams • High pressure

  7. Radiation • completely sterilizes food • Doesn’t change taste or appearance • gamma rays or electron accelerators • Electronic pasteurization

  8. Microbes in Food Production • Cheese • Curd (casein protein) separated from liquid whey • Aided by action of Lactococcus and rennin enzyme • Ripened or un-ripened • Physical and microbial ripening

  9. Classified by degree of hardness • Hard cheeses • Ripened by lactic acid bacteria in interior • The longer the incubation the higher the acidity and sharper the flavor • Propionibacterium – swiss cheese • Softer cheeses are ripened by aerobic bacterium and molds on surface • Penicillium – blue cheese

  10. Other fermented dairy products: • Buttermilk, sour cream, yogurt and fermented milk beverages • Lactococcus lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus

  11. Non-Dairy fermentations • Sauerkraut, coffee, pickles, soy sauce, chocolate, coffee, olives, meats and fish • Lactococcus, Streptococcus, Lactobacillus and Aspergillus

  12. Bread fermentations: • Saccharomyces cervisiae • Aerobic conditions favor CO2 production • Kneading • Lactic acid bacteria produce tart flavor • sourdough and rye breads

  13. Alcoholic fermentations • Yeasts, molds and bacteria ferment grains, rice or fruits • Saccharomyces cervisiae, Aspergillus, Leuconostoc • Beer and ale require malting • Starch converted to glucose • Aspergillus molds used in Sake (rice wine)

  14. Wines made from fruits do not require malting • Malolactic fermentation with grapes • Leuconostocconvert malic acid into lactic acid • Distilled spirits involve fermentation of fruits, grains, or vegetables

  15. Vinegar production • Aerobic bacteria oxidize ethanol to acetic acid • Different flavors due to different starting materials • Acetobacter and Gluconobacter

  16. Industrial Microbiology • Biotechnology • rDNA technology • Industrial fermentation

  17. Bioreactors

  18. Primary Metabolites Formed with new cells, during the log phase or trophophase

  19. Secondary Metabolites • Produced during the stationary phase or idiophase • May be due to conversion of primary metabolites

  20. Industrial Products • Food additives and supplements • Amino acids • Organic acids • Citric acid – Aspergillus • Acetic acid - Acetobacter • Vitamins • Pseudomonas, Ashbya fungi, Acetobacter

  21. Microbial enzymes • Amylases – Aspergillus • 1st biological patent • Pectinase – Clostridium • Proteases • Restriction enzymes and polymerases

  22. Pharmaceuticals • Antibiotics • Streptomyces • Steroids • Cortisone; estrogen; progesterone • Hormones • Insulin; human growth hormone • Vaccines

  23. Dyes • Green jeans • Alternative fuels • Renewable resources • Bioconversion Biomass Methane, ethanol, hydrogen

  24. Microorganisms themselves as products • Baker’s yeast – Saccharomyces cerevisiae • Insecticide - Bacillus thurengenisis • Bt toxin • Frost inhibitor – Pseudomonas syringaeice-
