Lactococcus lactis is a lactic acid bacterium widely used in cheese and fermented milk production. During fermentation,L. lactisis subjected to acid stress that impairs its growth. The small heat shock protein (sHsp) Lo18 from the acidophilic species Oenococcus oeni was expressed inL. lactis. This sHsp is known to play an important role in protein protection and membrane stabilization inO. oeni. The role of this sHsp could be studied inL. lactis,since no gene encoding for sHsp has been detected in this species.L. lactissubsp.cremorisstrain MG1363 was transformed with the pDLhsp18plasmid, which is derived from pDL278 and contains thehsp18gene (encoding Lo18) and its own promoter sequence. The production of Lo18 during stress conditions was checked by immunoblotting and the cellular distribution of Lo18 inL. lactiscells after heat shock was determined. Our results clearly indicated a role for Lo18 in cytoplasmic protein protection and membrane stabilization during stress. The production of sHsp inL. lactisimproved tolerance to heat and acid conditions in this species. Finally, the improvement of theL. lactissurvival in milk medium thanks to Lo18 was highlighted, suggesting an interesting role of this sHsp. These findings suggest that the expression of a sHsp by aL. lactisstrain results in greater resistance to stress, and, can consequently enhance the performances of industrial strains.
