Strain-Level Diversity Analysis of Pseudomonas fragi after In Situ Pangenome Reconstruction Shows Distinctive Spoilage-Associated Metabolic Traits Clearly Selected by Different Storage Conditions

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: This work provides insights on the mechanisms involved in raw beef spoilage during refrigerated storage and on the selective pressure exerted by the packaging conditions. We highlighted the presence of different microbial metagenomes during the spoilage of beef packaged aerobically or under vacuum. The packaging condition was able to select specific Pseudomonas fragi strains with distinctive genomic repertoires. This study may help in deciphering the behavior of different biomes directly in situ in food and in understanding the specific contribution of different strains to food spoilage.
