Abstract:In this study, it’s the effect of Cycle (Leu-Pro) on the growth of Lactobacillus plantarum was investigated. Lactobacillus Plantarum T1 was used as the research object, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to preliminarily characterize and quantify the Cyclo (Leu-Pro) in the fermentation broth of Lactobacillus Plantarum T1. Lactobacillus Plantarum T1 was respectively inoculated in the MRS broth medium without or with different mass concentrations (0.5, 1, 5, 10 μg/mL) of Cyclo (Leu-Pro) for 18 h. The growth curves and viable bacterial counts of Lactobacillus plantarum T1 under different culture conditions were determined by the 96-well method and plate counting method. The results showed that Cyclo (Leu-Pro) at different mass concentrations had significant growth-promoting effects on the growth of Lactobacillus plantarum T1, among which, 1 μg /mL Cyclo (Leu-Pro) had the greatest growth-promoting effect and could increase the viable counts to 8.73×1010 CFU/mL, which was an order of magnitude higher than the control. Under different stress conditions, 1 μg/mL Cyclo (Leu-Pro) could shorten the lag period and increase the growth rate of Lactobacillus plantarum T1, and its viable count and biomass increased significantly (P<0.05). In summary, Cyclo (Leu-Pro) promoted the growth of Lactobacillus plantarum T1 and enhanced its stress resistance. This will favor the application of Lactobacillus plantarum T1 as a starter in the field of food fermentation.
