Aims: To determine whether horC confers beer-spoilage ability and to evaluate the validity of horC as a trans-species genetic marker for differentiating the beer-spoilage ability of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Methods and Results: Hop-sensitive Lactobacillus brevis ABBC45cc was transformed with an expression plasmid; pHYchorBC; containing putative multidrug resistance gene horC and its putative regulator horB; and the transformant was designated as ABBC45cc/pHYchorBC. As a control; ABBC45cc was transformed with pHYchorB that contains horB; and the transformed strain was designated as ABBC45cc/pHYchorB. As a result of beer-spoilage assay of these transformants; ABBC45cc/pHYchorBC exhibited beer-spoilage ability; whereas ABBC45cc/pHYchorB did not. Furthermore ABBC45 cc/pHYchorBC showed higher hop resistance than ABBC45 cc/pHYchorB; accounting for the differences in beer-spoilage ability observed between the two transformants. ABBC45cc/pHYchorBC also exhibited higher resistance to various structurally unrelated drugs; compared with ABBC45cc/pHYchorB. Conclusions: horC was shown to confer hop resistance and beer-spoilage ability on ABBC45cc by presumably encoding a multidrug transporter. Significance and Impact of the Study: The finding that horC plays an important role in hop resistance and beer-spoilage ability supports the validity of horC as a trans-species genetic marker for differentiating the beer-spoilage ability of LAB. © 2006 The Society for Applied Microbiology;
