Publication Restreint A sequencing approach targeting the 16S rRNA gene unravels the biofilm composition of spiral-wound membranes used in the dairy industry(Springer, 2016-10-17) Chamberland, Julien; Lessard, Marie-Hélène; Doyen, Alain; Labrie, Steve; Pouliot, YvesFew data are available concerning the composition of biofilms found at the surface of filtration membranes, which, to some extent, explains the long-term failure of numerous strategies developed to control biofouling. This preliminary study intended to design a metagenomic tool targeting the 16S rRNA gene in order to unravel a general portrait of bacterial communities found on spiral-wound membranes used in the dairy industry. A total of seven spiral-wound membrane elements (ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, or reverse osmosis) at the end of their useful lifetimes were collected from different dairy plants. Targeted analysis of the 16S rRNA genes of the metagenome extracted from the membranes revealed their bacterial diversity via high-throughput sequencing technology (Miseq, Illumina). It was found that the nature of the filtered fluid (milk, whey, water) explained 58.6 % of the variance observed between communities found on membranes. Treatments applied on dairy fluids (milk pasteurization, whey bleaching or whey ultrafiltration) induced a selective pressure that affected the diversity of bacterial communities found on membranes and the proportions of spore-former bacteria among them. This work provides the first complete bacterial portrait of the biofilm composition of spiral-wound membranes used in the dairy industry. It suggests that the nature of the filtered fluid and potentially filtration operating parameters may be important elements to consider in order to design new cleaning strategies or preventive measures targeting biofouling.Publication Restreint Biofouling of ultrafiltration membrane by dairy fluids : characterization of pioneer colonizer bacteria using a DNA metabarcoding approach(Elsevier, 2017-01-25) Chamberland, Julien; Lessard, Marie-Hélène; Doyen, Alain; Labrie, Steve; Pouliot, YvesBiofouling of filtration membranes is a major quality and performance issue for the dairy industry. Because biofilms that survive cleaning cycles become resistant over time, prevention strategies limiting the adhesion of bacteria to membranes should be prioritized for sustainable control of biofouling. However, this cannot be achieved because the pioneer bacteria colonizing these membranes are still unknown. Consequently, the objective of this study was to characterize pioneer bacteria on the filtration membrane surface and to measure the effect of filtration operational parameters on their diversity. Thus, milk and cheese whey were filtered for 5 h in concentration mode at 10 and 40°C using a laboratory-scale crossflow filtration system equipped with flat-sheet ultrafiltration membranes. Pioneer colonizer bacteria found on membranes after a chlorinated alkaline cleaning cycle were identified using a metabarcoding approach targeting the 16S ribosomal RNA genes. Our results suggested that prevention strategies targeting biofouling should consider the nature of the filtered fluid and the feed temperature (36.15 and 5.09% of the variances observed on membranes, respectively), as well as the microbial environment of the dairy processing plant. In the future, it is hypothesized that cleaning prevention strategies will be specific to each dairy processor and their operational parameters.
