摘要
Tetragenococcus halophilus is a halophilic bacterium that existed in the fermentation of soy sauce and miso for flavor production and probiotic benefits. However, it is composed of two subgroups, histamine-producing and non-histamine-producing, with the former causing histamine accumulation and offering risks to food safety. Exploring the evolutionary mechanisms and physiological function of histamine-biosynthesis is of significance for understanding the formative mechanism of T. halophilus’s strain-specificity and helpful for microbial control. Using systematic genomic analysis, we found that plasmid acquisition and loss is the evolutionary form resulting in the two subgroups of T. halophilus. Two plasmids, plasmid α with 30 kb and plasmid β with 4 kb existed in histamine-producing T. halophilus. We investigated the whole genetic information and proposed their genetic function in both two plasmids. The acquisition of histamine-producing plasmid enhanced the acid tolerance of histamine-producing T. halophilus but did not affect salt tolerance. More interestingly, we found that the existence of plasmid will promote the co-culture growth of T. halophilus. This study deepens our understanding of the formative mechanism of microbial species diversity, and provides our knowledge of the physiological function of histamine-producing plasmids.
