Definitions

  • Tuber greening is regularly observed when certain environmental factors such as temperature and light are not correctly set during storage of potatoes. This is not only a cosmetic problem that is not appreciated by consumers. However, greening is also associated with the presence of higher quantities of colorless glycoalkaloids such as mainly a-solanine and also a-chaconine. Such glycoalkaloids impair the flavor by causing bitterness and could be toxic for the consumer in concentrations above 200 mg per kilo of fresh weight (for a review see Dhalsamant et al. (2022); Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry; available at https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jafc.2c01169). Accordingly, there is an urgent need to reduce or delay the greening process and content of glycoalkaloids in tubers independent of storage conditions.

  • Conventional large-scale microbial culture processes include submerged fermentation, solid-state fermentation, or liquid surface culture. Towards the end of fermentation, as nutrients are depleted, Bacillus subtilis cells begin the transition from growth phase to sporulation phase, such that the final product of fermentation is largely spores, metabolites and residual fermentation medium. Sporulation is part of the natural life cycle of Bacillus subtilis and is generally initiated by the cell in response to nutrient limitation.

  • Mutants may be obtained by treating Bacillus strain cells having the above identifying characteristics with chemicals or irradiation or by selecting spontaneous mutants from a population of such cells (such as phage resistant mutants), or by other means well known to those practiced in the art and to identify those cells which still have said identifying characteristics.
  • Targeted mutations may be introduced with CRISPR/Cas genome editing techniques.
  • Delaying greening and/or the formation of solanine refers to a delay in one or both of at least 7 days, at least 15 days, at least 1 month, at least two months, at least 4 months or at least 8 months post harvest as compared to potatoes not treated according to the invention but otherwise treated in the same way.
  • Reducing greening and/or formation of glycoalkaloids such as solanine and/or chaconine in potatoes refers to a reduction in greening of at least 40% in and/or immediately underneath and/or close to the skin (until up to about 1,5 mm distance from the skin), preferably at least 50%, more preferably at least 60 %, even more preferably at least 65 and most preferably at least 70% (all per potato fresh weight) as compared to potatoes not treated according to the invention but otherwise treated in the same way.
  • reducing the formation of glycoalkaloids such as solanine and/or chaconine refers to a reduction in the content of solanine and/or chaconine in the whole potato tuber of at least 50%, or at least 60% or at least 70%, preferably at least 75%, more preferably at least 80% and most preferably at least 85% (per potato fresh weight) as compared to potatoes not treated according to the invention but otherwise treated in the same way.
  • Comparison of greening can be effected at any point in time starting with 7 days postharvest. As apparent from the example, the effect becomes more prominent with storage time. Accordingly, it is preferred that the measurement be effected at least at day 14 post-harvest or even later.
  • the potato tuber surface holds three different tissue types, the phellem, dead cells with corcky cell walls, the phellogen and phelloderm.
  • the inner tuber tissue is based on cortical cells. Solanine synthesis takes place in the living cells of the phellogen, phelloderm and cortical cells. The highest concentrations of solanine are detected within 3 mm below the surface of the potato tuber.
  • Several suitable methods for measuring solanine content in potatoes are known see e.g. EFSA Journal 2020, 18(8), 6222 (https://doi.Org/10.2903/j.efsa.2020.6222). They include the particular HPLC7DAD/MS-based method described in leri et al. (2011; Food Chemistry 125, pp750-59).
  • Storage stability refers to the time for which potatoes can be kept without significant decrease in quality. Such a significant decrease is regularly regarded as indicated by the appearance of a certain degree of greening. As such greening is also associated with a higher content of e.g. solanine (see e.g. Pavlista, 2001, Historical Materials from University of Kansas-Lincoln Extension. Paper 88), greening is also an indicator of solanine which causes bitter taste and in high doses may be toxic. Accordingly, the prolongation of storage stability according to the present invention primarily refers to such prolongation that is caused by delayed greening potatoes, as achieved, e.g., through application of the present invention.
  • storage stability of potatoes is defined as the time until said threshold of 150 mg solanine/kg potato fresh weight is reached.
  • storage stability is given until a threshold of 130 mg/kg, more preferably until 100 mg/kg.
  • increasing storage stability of potatoes means a prolonged storage of at least 7 days, at least 15 days, at least 1 month, at least two months, at least 4 months or at least 8 months where greening or the content of glycoalkaloids is reduced as compared to potatoes not treated according to the invention.
  • solanine content As illustrated by the examples of the present application illustrate the strong potential of the application of Bacillus strains for the reduction of solanine formation and greening. It is to be noted that the final level of solanine in the tuber flesh is driven by variety. Recent new registered varieties tend to have lower solanine levels compared to older varieties. These new variety releases reflect the current breeding programs to lower solanine content.
  • the present invention also relates to the use of a Bacillus strain for prolonging storage stability of potatoes, wherein such prolongation is caused by delayed greening and/or formation of solanine.
  • An application prior to planting may be done at any time post-harvest of potato tubers, cut potato pieces, apical cuttings or seeds to be planted. Accordingly, an application could take place directly after harvest as the earliest point in time, during storage or directly prior to planting the tubers into the soil. To save work, it is also possible to apply at the time of planting, that is at the same time as the tubers, tuber pieces, potato transplants, apical cuttings or seeds are planted into the soil. Apical cuttings are rooted transplants produced from tissue culture plants (see VanderZaag et al.

  • Tubers for cryosectioning were embedded in carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt (4 - 6% in water) and frozen at -20 °C for at least 12 hours. Samples were equilibrated in a cryostat CryoStar NX70 (Thermo Scientific GmbH, Bremen, Germany) for approximately 30 min at the optimal cutting temperature (-25 - -15 °C). Histological slices (20 - 35 pm) of tubers were mounted either on microscope slides (18x18x1 mm, Paul Marienfeld GmbH & Co. KG, Lauda-Kbnigshofen, Germany) directly or using thin doublesided adhesive tape (3M, Saint Paul, USA). The samples were dried in a desiccator at room temperature for a minimum of 30 min before matrix deposition.
  • MALDI matrices were sprayed on the sample using a MALDI sprayer SunCollect (SunChromticianliche Gerate GmbH, Friedrichsdorf, Germany) and matrix flow rate, sample speed and spray intervals, optimized for each matrix and tissue. Before and after matrix deposition, the sample surfaces were checked with a digital microscope VHX-6000 (Keyence Deutschland GmbH, Neu-Isenburg, Germany). The matrix-coated target was stored in a vacuum desiccator at room temperature in the dark until analysis. According to the actual storage time of potato tubers, we chose 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days at room temperature for the experiment. Glycoalkaloids began to biosynthesize and increase and showed obvious distribution characteristic in potato tuber tissues.
  • Strain QST71 refers to a reduction in greening and formation of a-solanine and a-chaconine of at least 5% post-harvest, the reducing in the whole potato tuber after 7 days is at least 45%. During the storage period the effect on reducing in greening and content of a-solanine and a-chaconine is at least 70% after 14 days and at least 80% up to 28 days. Table 1. Relative reducing in greening and formation of a-solanine and a-chaconine in potato tubers of different varieties (Saprodi, Fontana and Avama) treated with Bacillus subtilis sp.
