Bacteria stress response to high pressure processing Tine Bergitte Heggernes Supervisor: Nadav Skjøndal-Bar Project with Nofima – Måltidets Hus, Stavanger Project Autumn 2013, Tine Bergitte Heggernes Motivation Listeria monocytogenes Tine Bergitte Heggernes Objective and methodology Objective • Doing a literature study on bacteria stress response to high pressure processing (HPP). • The bacteria response - change of gene expressions and mechanisms in the cell when stressed. Methodology • Using experimental data done with HPP at 400 Mpa and 600 Mpa with Listeria contaminated food • Find vital HPP affected mechanisms Genes activating these mechanisms Determination of most significant genes Comparing genes with regulation from other environmental stresses Proposing the most pressure specific genes Bacteria stress responce to high pressure processing Results and conclusion HPP induced changes • Many genes expressed as a response to HPP • Expression change higher at 400MPa than 600 Mpa less developed response systems for higher pressures. Tine Bergitte Heggernes The 7 most pressure specific genes Category Gene no Fold change 400 Mpa Fold change 600 Mpa Salt Acid General stress resp. lmo1699 26,092 5,036 x x lmo0713 23,736 2,639 x x Cold - & heatShock lmo0292 -16,499 -8,018 x Translation lmo2656 10,660 6,078 x lmo1785 9,161 6,353 lmo2507 14,644 35,737 x x lmo0584 -6,332 -5,050 x x Membrane Tine Bergitte Heggernes Heat x x Cold Futute work – Master thesis • Conduct HPP experiments • Develop models which predicts bacteria inhibition from high pressure processing Tine Bergitte Heggernes
