2 2 Abstract: In this paper, microbial succession is studied in the wild fermenting of cabbage. Colony PCR of 16S rdna is performed for DNA sequencing Introduction: Sauerkraut has a long shelf-life compared to other foods. Sauerkraut is prepared through an aerobic chemical process called fermentation. Fermentation provides a process for making sauerkraut from cabbage. Bacteria play a key role in the fermentation of cabbage. Leuconostoc and other species produce lactic acids which give sauerkraut its' characteristic flavor. In sauerkraut fermentation bacterial species found at the beginning of the fermentative process and are eventually replaced by more acid tolerant species (Peterson 1969). Mineral salts are used in the process to produce sauerkraut of good sensory and microbiological quality (viander 2003). The purpose of this work was to observe microbial succession of bacterial species under aerobic conditions. Microbial succession is governed mainly by ph (linquist 1998). In this experiment,
3 3 the natural action of lactose fermenting cultures found in raw cabbage, were utilized to acidify cabbage. The fermentation trials were made in the laboratory and on a small scale. The process is a wild fermentation in which no starter culture is used. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that microbial succession will occur in both batches of sauerkraut I Introduction Sauerkraut has a long shelf-life compared to other foods. Sauerkraut is prepared through an aerobic chemical process called fermentation. Fermentation provides a process for making sauerkraut from cabbage. Bacteria play a key role in the fermentation of cabbage. Leuconostoc and other species produce lactic acids which give sauerkraut its' characteristic flavor. In sauerkraut fermentation bacterial species found at the beginning of the fermentative process and are eventually replaced by more acid tolerant species (peterson 1969). Mineral salts are used in the process to produce sauerkraut of good sensory and microbiological quality (viander 2003). The purpose of this work was to observe microbial succession of bacterial species under aerobic conditions. Microbial succession is governed mainly by ph (linquist 1998). In this experiment, the natural action of lactose fermenting cultures found in raw cabbage were utilized to acidify cabbage. The fermentation trials were made in the laboratory and on a small scale. A wild fermentation which no starter culture is used. Material and Methods: Sauerkraut Preparation: Parallel batches of sauerkraut were fermented using red cabbage from Busch's and green cabbage from Meijer. Potassium chloride (27.5 grams) was mixed with the chopped cabbage (1kg) to an approximate concentration of 2.5%. Each batch was fermented in a
4 4 glass vessel.. Cheese cloth was placed over the top of the vessels to allow gases produced during the fermentative process to escape. A rubber band was placed around the top of the vessel to hold the cheese cloth in place. 16S rrna PCR amplification and PCR product purification: Full length of 16S rdna gene was amplified with universal bacterial 8F(5 -AGA GTT TGA TCC TGG CTC AG-3 ) primer, and 1492R (5 -GGT TAC CTT GTT ACG ACT T-3 ) primer (IDT DNA Technologies) following the Vincent Young LAB, 16S Clone Libraries protocol (Vincent Young LAB, University of Michigan) with these modification; New England Bio Labs Taq 2x master mix was used instead of PuRe Taq Ready-To- GO PCR beads (New England Bio Labs, Inc., Ipswitch, MA). Amplified colony PCR preparation for sequencing and analysis: The amplified colony 16S rdna genes from the 8 reactions were cleaned up using EXOSAP- IT CLEAN-UP (USB Corporation), and then they were set up for sequencing as described in Vincent Young LAB 16S Clone Library using 10pmol/ μl of 8F primer. Samples were sent to the University of Michigan sequencing core ( The sequences obtained were then converted from.abi format to FASTA format using Classification and Phylogenetic tree construction: All 36 sequences were classified using RDP Classifier. The phylogenetic tree (fig.3) of 36 sequences was generated from all of the sauerkraut sequences using RDP Tree Builder (
5 5 Colonies were counted and observed colonies on PCA (Plate Count Agar), MAC (MacConkey Agar), and HIAS (Heart Infusion Agar) over a thirty five day period using red and green cabbage. The ph of each batch was measured over the same period. Morphology of the colonies was observed using light microscopy. The number of lactic acid bacteria was enumerated. DNA isolation: Total genomic DNA was picked from colonies grown on agar plates. Results were visualized on.8% gel 16S rdna PCR amplification, and PCR product purification: full length 16S rrna gene was amplified with universal bacterial 8F(5 -AGA GTT TGA TCC TGG CTC AG-3 ) primers, and 1492R(5 -GGT TAC CTT GTT ACG ACT T-3 ) primer following Vincent Young LAB, 16S Clone Libraries protocol (Vincent Young LAB, University of Michigan) with these modification; New England Bio Labs Taq 2x master mix was used instead of PuRe Taq Ready- To- GO PCR beads (New England Bio Labs, Inc., Ipswitch, MA). PCR condition was also slightly modified from Vincent Young LAB, 16S Clone Libraries protocol. Amplification cycle used with 8F, and 1492R were as follow; an initial denaturation 92 C for 2 min, followed by 30 cycles of denaturation 94 C for 30 s, annealing 50 C for 45 s, extension 72 C for 1.5 min, and final extension step 72 C for 5 min using Bio-Rad MJ Mini Personal Thermal Cycler (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules). Amplified colony PCR preparation for sequencing and analysis: the amplified colony 16S rrna genes from the 96 reactions total were cleaned up using EXOSAP-IT CLEAN-UP (USB Corporation), and then they were set up for sequencing as described in Vincent Young LAB 16S Clone Library using 10pmol/ µl of 8F primer. Samples were to the University of Michigan sequencing core (SeqCore). The sequences obtained were then converted from.abi format to
6 6.fasta format. The data were uploaded into and analyzed using the Ribosomal Data Base Project website ( ). Results: Plating: Acidity decreased rapidly in the beginning of the fermentations (Wiande 2009). Lactic acid bacteria were "tmtc" on HIAS plates from day 0 in the green cabbage. Lactic acid counts were 4.30E+03 cfu s/ml on day 0 in the red cabbage. On day 35, in the green cabbage, lactic acid counts were 8.00E+06 cfu s/ml. PCA counts were "tmtc" in both red and green cabbage over the entire range of platings. On the MAC plates which enriched for gram negative bacteria. Gram negative bacteria showed the greatest number of colonies on day 0 with 8.00E+05 cfu s/ml), and day E+06 cfu s/ml. In the green batch of cabbage, slime forming colonies were observed on plates from day 35 HIAS medium. PCR amplification of 16S rrna gene: Out of 25 colonies (from red and green cabbage) sequenced, we only obtained 5 sequences due to unsuccessful PCR amplification. Nucleotides were more than 1000 bp (Table 1) from the NAST analysis (DeSantis 2006). The alignment was assigned based on minimum sequence length of 900. Looking at the gel, some of the bands are missing suggesting that the 8F and 1492R primers didn t amplify the 16S rrna gene efficiently. This corresponds with the debris found at the bottom of the gel (Fig. 1, 2). Among the eight 16S rdna sequences, five were Leuconostoc. There was one Pantoea agglomerans, one Serratia, and one Pseudomonas fluorescens was found with > 95% identity match for each. Full fragment length of 16S rdna gene (Approximately 1500 bp) was obtained from total genomic DNA extract when universal bacterial 8F and 1492R primers were used (Figure 1).

Gel Bottom Figure 2 Table 2 summarizes the species that were found during plating. Leuconostoc mesenteroides are gram-positive microorganisms with coccoid morphology (Facklam 1995) Weissella cibaria is associated mainly from Malaysian foods and clinical samples from humans (Björkroth 2002). Pantoea agglomerans is a plant pathogen causing human disease(cruz et al 2007). Pseudomonas fluorescens suppresses black root rot of tobacco, a disease caused by the fungus Thielaviopsis basicola. The strain CHAO excretes several metabolites with antifungal properties. One such metabolite is hydrogen cyanide (Voisard et al 1989). Pseudomonas fluorescens is inherently
8 8 resistant to a variety of antimicrobial agents (Sillankorva et al 2008) Rahnella enterobacterial species causes bacteremia and septicemia, as well as endocarditis, urinary tract infections, and wound infections, mostly in immunocompromised patients (Caroff et al). R. aquatilis is resistant to amoxicillin, ticarcillin, cefuroxime, and cephalothin(bellais et al 2001) and carry the carry the blarahn gene. Serratia is a gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae family Table 1 * samples borrowed from JEB, no sequence data available Discussion The potassium chloride used in the fermentation process serves two major purposes. First, it causes an osmotic imbalance which results in the release of water and nutrients from the cabbage leaves. Second, the mineral salt inhibits the growth of many spoilage organisms (Linquist 1998). Vegetables left exposed to air start to grow molds(katz 2003). On day 7 we observed what appeared to be mold growth in the red cabbage fermentation. We added approximately 200 ml of saline solution to the red cabbage on day 7 and day 14 to increase the distance between the top of the sauerkraut and the level of mold growth. Mold growth may have been due to pockets of low or high potassium chloride concentrations in the red cabbage. It is also possible that the mold growth was due to the red batch being exposed to air (Linquist 1998). In the red batch, an Erlenmeyer flask was used instead of a beaker to weigh the sauerkraut down in the vessel. Since the surface are of the bottom of the Erlenmeyer flask was smaller than that of the beaker, the red cabbage might have been exposed to too much air.
9 9 Conclusion Evidence of microbial succession was found. Slime forming pseudomonas appeared on day 0 PCA plates, in both batches, this evidence was further supported by the results of sequence analysis. The count of slime forming colonies increased from day 0 through day 21 in both batches. Pantoea agglomerans was identified in day 0 sequence analysis of MAC colonies. Acidity ranged from 7 on day 0, to 4.5 on day 35 in both the red and green cabbage. Growth on MAC plates was initially high and decreased to 0 on days 21 and 35.
