Abstract
This study aimed to enhance the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) production of Virgibacillus dokdonensis VITP14 and explore its antioxidant potential. EPS and biomass production by VITP14 strain were studied under different culture parameters and media compositions using one factor at a time method. Among different nutrient sources, glucose and peptone were identified as suitable carbon and nitrogen sources. Furthermore, the maximum EPS production was observed at 5% of inoculum size, 5 g/L of NaCl, and 96 h of fermentation. Response surface methodology was employed to augment EPS production and investigate the optimal levels of nutrient sources with their interaction. The strain was observed to produce actual maximum EPS of about 26.4 g/L for finalized optimum medium containing glucose 20 g/L, peptone 10 g/L, and NaCl 50 g/L while the predicted maximum EPS was 26.5 g/L. There was a nine fold increase in EPS production after optimization study. Additionally, EPS has exhibited significant scavenging, reducing, and chelating potential (>85%) at their higher concentration. This study imparts valuable insights into optimizing moderately halophilic bacterial EPS production and evaluating its natural antioxidant properties. According to findings, V. dokdonensis VITP14 was a promising isolate that will provide significant benefits to biopolymer producing industries.

Abstract
Immunoregulatory polysaccharides from probiotic bacteria have potential in biomedical engineering. Here, a negatively charged exopolysaccharide from Bifidobacterium longum with confirmed immunoregulatory activity (EPS624) was applied in multilayered polyelectrolyte coatings with positively charged chitosan. EPS624 and coatings (1, 5, and 10 layers and alginate-substituted) were characterized by the zeta potential, dynamic light scattering, size exclusion chromatography, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs) and fibroblasts were exposed for 1, 3, 7, and 10 days with cytokine secretion, viability, and morphology as observations. The coatings showed an increased rugosity and exponential growth mode with an increasing number of layers. A dose/layer-dependent IL-10 response was observed in hPBMCs, which was greater than EPS624 in solution and was stable over 7 days. Fibroblast culture revealed no toxicity or metabolic change after exposure to EPS624. The EPS624 polyelectrolyte coatings are cytocompatible, have immunoregulatory properties, and may be suitable for applications in biomedical engineering.

Abstract
This study aimed to examine the effects of supplementation of postbiotics derived from Streptococcus thermophilus (ST) and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus (LB) in cheese whey (CW) and skim milk (SM) on antioxidant activity, viability of yoghurt starters, and quality parameters of low-fat yoghurt during 22 days of storage. The LB-CW (L delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus postbiotic-containing cheese whey) sample exhibited the highest antioxidant activity, with 18.71% inhibition (p > 0.05). This sample also showed the highest water holding capacity (77.93%; p < 0.05) and a trend toward receiving the most favorable sensory attributes (p > 0.05) compared to the other samples. The LB-CW and LB-SM yoghurt samples exhibited significantly higher body and texture scores compared to the ST-SM-fortified yoghurt (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the overall acceptability of the LB-SM and ST-SM yoghurt samples across both starters (p > 0.05). Such findings highlight the potential of postbiotics as functional ingredients to enhance the nutritional and sensory aspects of yoghurt, further contributing to its appeal as a health-promoting product.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharides (EPS) are acknowledged for their diverse functional and technological properties. This study presents the characterization of EPS400, an acidic exopolysaccharide sourced from the native probiotic Limosilactobacillus fermentum NCDC400. Notably, this strain has demonstrated previous capabilities in enhancing dairy food texture and displaying in vivo hypocholesterolemic activity. Our investigation aimed to unveil EPS400's potential biological roles, encompassing antioxidant, antibacterial, and immunomodulatory activities. The results underscore EPS400's prowess in scavenging radicals, including the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical, 2,2'-azino-di-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline sulfonic acid) radical, superoxide radical, hydroxyl radical, and chelating activity targeting the ferrous ion. Furthermore, EPS400 displayed substantial antibacterial effectiveness against prevalent food spoilage bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCDC105 and Micrococcus luteus. Remarkably, EPS400 exhibited the ability to modulate cytokine production, downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and nitric oxide, while concurrently promoting the release of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 within lipopolysaccharide-activated murine primary macrophages. Additionally, EPS400 significantly (p ≤ 0.05) enhanced the phagocytic potential of macrophages. Collectively, our findings spotlight EPS400 as a promising contender endowed with significant antioxidant, antibacterial, and immunomodulatory attributes. These characteristics propose EPS400 as a potential pharmaceutical or bioactive component, with potential applications in the realm of functional food development.

RSC Adv 2023; 13:26406-26417. [PMID: 37671337 PMCID: PMC10476021 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra04009g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/07/2023] Open
Abstract
In the current study, Bacillus velezensis AG6 was isolated from sediment samples in the Red Sea, identified by traditional microbiological techniques and phylogenetic 16S rRNA sequences. Among eight isolates screened for exopolysaccharide (EPS) production, the R6 isolate was the highest producer with a significant fraction of EPS (EPSF6, 5.79 g L-1). The EPSF6 molecule was found to have a molecular weight (Mw) of 2.7 × 104 g mol-1 and a number average (Mn) of 2.6 × 104 g mol-1 when it was analyzed using GPC. The FTIR spectrum indicated no sulfate but uronic acid (43.8%). According to HPLC, the EPSF6 fraction's monosaccharides were xylose, galactose, and galacturonic acid in a molar ratio of 2.0 : 0.5 : 2.0. DPPH, H2O2, and ABTS tests assessed EPSF6's antioxidant capabilities at 100, 300, 500, 1000, and 1500 μg mL-1 for 15, 60, 45, and 60 minutes. The overall antioxidant activities were dose- and time-dependently increased, and improved by increasing concentrations from 100 to 1500 μg mL-1 after 60 minutes and found to be 91.34 ± 1.1%, 80.20 ± 1.4% and 75.28 ± 1.1% respectively. Next, EPSF6 displayed considerable inhibitory activity toward the proliferation of six cancerous cell lines. Anti-inflammatory tests were performed using lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and cyclooxygenase (COX-2). An MTP turbidity assay method was applied to show the ability of EPSF6 to inhibit Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and antibiofilm formation. Together, this study sheds light on the potential pharmacological applications of a secondary metabolite produced by marine Bacillus velezensis AG6. Its expected impact on human health will increase as more research and studies are conducted globally.

Abstract
Four bacterial isolates were obtained from marine sediments collected from Sahl Hashish, Hurghada Red Sea, Egypt. This study was designed to search for promising anti-Alzheimer natural polysaccharide; therefore, four isolates were screened for exopolysaccharides (EPSs) production and acetylcholinesterase inhibition. The isolate S16 provided the highest EPS yield (7.51 g/L) and acetylcholinesterase inhibition. It was identified morphologically and genetically using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis as Bacillus maritimus. A Physicochemical analysis of S16 exopolysaccharide (BMEPS) was estimated, which pointed to the presence of uronic acid and sulfate (24.7% and 18.3%, respectively). HPLC analysis indicated that mannuronic acid, glucuronic acid, glucose, and mannose are presented in a molar ratio of 0.8:1.0:2.8:2.3, respectively. Furthermore, FT-IR revealed an abundance of β-configurations. The GPC estimated the average molecular weight (Mw) as 4.31 × 104 g/mol. BMEPS inhibited AChE (IC50; 691.77 ± 8.65 μg/ ml), BChE (IC50; 288.27 ± 10.50 μg/ ml), and tyrosinase (IC50; 3.34 ± 0.09, 14.00 ± 0.14, and 22.96 ± 1.23 μg/ ml during incubation durations of 10, 20, and 40 min). It also demonstrated a selective anti-inflammatory action against COX-2 rather than COX-1. Moreover, BMEPS exhibited antioxidant capabilities as free radical and oxygen reactive species (ROS) scavenger, metal chelator, reductant agent, and lipid peroxidation suppressor. These activities are due to the distinct chemical composition. The findings of this study indicate that BMEPS could be considered as promising anti-disease Alzheimer's (AD) material in an in-vitro model, which qualifies it for advanced in-vivo studies in the discovery of alternative Alzheimer's treatment.

Abstract
The Bacillus amyloliquefaciens RT7 strain was isolated from an extreme acidic environment and identified. The biodegradation capabilities of the strain using different carbon sources (glucose, oleic acid, Tween 80, PEG 200, and the combination of glucose-Tween 80) were evaluated via an indirect impedance technique. The glucose-Tween 80 combination was further studied using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The exopolysaccharide (EPSRT7) that had been produced with the strain when biodegrading glucose-Tween 80 was isolated and characterised using different techniques (GC-MS, HPLC/MSMS, ATR-FTIR, TGA, and DSC), and its molecular weight was estimated. The results show that the average molecular weight of EPSRT7 was approximately 7.0794 × 104 Da and a heteropolysaccharide composed of mannose, glucose, galactose, and xylose (molar ratio, 1:0.5:0.1:0.1) with good thermostability. EPSRT7 showed good emulsifying activity against different natural oils and hydrocarbons at high concentrations (2 mg/mL) and at the studied pH range (3.1-7.2). It also presented good emulsifying activity compared to that of commercial emulsifiers. Lastly, EPSRT7 showed antioxidant capacity for different free radicals, a lack of cytotoxicity, and antioxidant activity at the cellular level. EPSRT7 has promising applications in bioremediation processes and other industrial applications.

Abstract
There is currently a constant search for ecofriendly bioproducts, which could contribute to various biomedical applications. Among bioproducts, exopolysaccharides are prominent contemporary extracellular biopolymers that are produced by a great variety of bacterial species. These homo- or heteropolymers are composed of monomeric sugar units linked by glycosidic bonds, which are secreted to the external medium. Bacillus spp. are reported to be present in different ecosystems and produce exopolysaccharides with different biological properties such as antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral anti-inflammatory, among others. Since a great diversity of bacterial strains are able to produce exopolysaccharides, a great variation in the molecular composition is observed, which is indeed present in some of the chemical structures predicted until date. These molecular characteristics and their relations with different biological functions are discussed in order to visualize future applications in biomedical section.

Abstract
This study aimed at the production of marine bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS) as biodegradable and nontoxic biopolymers, competing the synthetic derivatives, with detailed structural and conformational analyses using spectroscopy techniques. Twelve marine bacterial bacilli were isolated from the seawater of Mediterranean Sea, Egypt, then screened for EPS production. The most potent isolate was identified genetically as Bacillus paralicheniformis ND2 by16S rRNA gene sequence of ~99 % similarity. Plackett-Burman (PB) design identified the optimization conditions of EPS production, which yielded the maximum EPS (14.57 g L-1) with 1.26-fold increase when compared to the basal conditions. Two purified EPSs namely NRF1 and NRF2 with average molecular weights (Mw¯) of 15.98 and 9.70 kDa, respectively, were obtained and subjected for subsequent analyses. FTIR and UV-Vis reflected their purity and high carbohydrate contents while EDX emphasized their neutral type. NMR identified the EPSs as levan-type fructan composed of β-(2-6)-glycosidic linkage as a main backbone, and HPLC explained that the EPSs composed of fructose. Circular dichroism (CD) suggested that NRF1 and NRF2 had identical structuration with a little variation from the EPS-NR. The EPS-NR showed antibacterial activity with the maximum inhibition against S. aureus ATCC 25923. Furthermore, all the EPSs revealed a proinflammatory action through dose-dependent increment of expression of proinflammatory cytokine mRNAs, IL-6, IL-1β and TNFα.

Abstract
Bacillus sp. NRC5 is a new strain that grows in Egyptian beaches. This strain produces acidic exo-polysaccharide that have excellent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties. The current study aimed to introduce a new natural product feasible for prostate cancer therapies. The anti-prostate cancer of acidic exo-polysaccharide produced from marine Bacillus sp. NRC5 (EBPS) was determined using 7,12-dimethylbenz-(a)-anthracene; DMBA-induced prostate cancer in male Sprague Dawley rats. Rats were subcutaneously injected with testosterone (3 mg/kg/day for 3 months) and a single dose of DMBA (65 mg/kg) for induction of prostate cancer. EBPS was administrated orally at dose 200 mg/kg/day for 3 months. To study protective effect of EBPS, animals received EBPS before cancer induction, meanwhile in therapeutic effect animals received EBPS after cancer induction. EBPS debug oxidative stress and inflammatory conditions associated with prostate cancer. EBPS either protective or therapeutic material considerably reduced cancer growth rate-limiting enzyme-i.e., 5-α-reductase (46.89 ± 1.72 and 44.86 ± 2.56 µg Eq/mL) and Na+/K+ ATPase (0.44 ± 0.03 and 0.42 ± 0.02 µg Eq/mL), compared to cancer control (69.68 ± 3.46 µg Eq/mL). In addition, both cancer biomarkers-i.e., prostate-specific antigen and carcinoembryonic antigen were significantly lowered as evidence of the ability of EBPS to protect and treat prostate cancer in chemically induced rats. EBPS showed protective and therapeutic efficacy on testosterone-DMBA-induced prostate cancer rats with a good safety margin. This study may go to clinical trials after a repeated study on another type of small experimental animal, their offspring, and one big experimental animal.

Abstract
Bacterial polysaccharides are unique due to their higher purity, hydrophilic nature, and a finer three-dimensional fibrous structure. Primarily, these polymers provide protection, support, and energy to the microorganism, however, more recently several auxiliary properties of these biopolymers have been unmasked. Microbial polysaccharides have shown therapeutic abilities against various illnesses, augmented the healing abilities of the herbal and Western medicines, improved overall health of the host, and have exerted positive impact on the growth of gut dwelling beneficial bacteria. Specifically, the review is discussing the mechanism through which bacterial polysaccharides exert anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-microbial properties. In addition, they are holding promising application in the 3D printing. The review is also discussing a perspective about the metagenome-based screening of polysaccharides, their integration with other cutting-edge tools, and synthetic microbiome base intervention of polysaccharides as a strategy for prebiotic intervention. This review has collected interesting information about the bacterial polysaccharides from Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Up to our knowledge, this is the first of its kind review article that is summarizing therapeutic, prebiotics, and commercial application of bacterial polysaccharides.

Structural and genetic insights into a poly-γ-glutamic acid with in vitro antioxidant activity of Bacillus velezensis VCN56. World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 38:173. [PMID: 35920928 DOI: 10.1007/s11274-022-03364-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 10/16/2022]
Abstract
Poly-γ‑glutamic acid (γ‑PGA) produced by Bacillus species is a natural biopolymer, which is widely used in various fields including food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. In this study, the screening of 19 Bacillus isolates derived from traditionally fermented foods revealed that Bacillus velezensis VCN56 was the most potent γ‑PGA producer. The maximum concentration of crude γ‑PGA was 32.9 ± 1.5 g/L in the PGA-3 medium containing glycerol, citric acid, sodium glutamate, NH4Cl, and starch. The resulting γ-PGA was purified and then characterized by HPLC, FTIR, and 1H-NMR analyses. Molecular weight of purified γ‑PGA was estimated to be 98 kDa with a polydisperse index of 2.04. Notably, the pure γ‑PGA showed significant in vitro antioxidant scavenging activities against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (72.0 ± 1.5%), hydroxyl (81.0 ± 0.6%), and superoxide (43.9 ± 0.8%) radicals at the concentration of 4 mg/mL. Using whole-genome sequencing, the genetic organization of pgs operon responsible for γ‑PGA biosynthesis in B. velezensis VCN56 differs from those in other Bacillus genomes. Further genome analysis revealed metabolic pathways for γ-PGA production and degradation. For the first time, the present study provides a better understanding of γ-PGA with a promising antioxidant activity produced by B. velezensis at the phenotypic, biochemical, and genomic levels, which hold potential applications in the foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries.

Novel Exopolysaccharide from Marine Bacillus subtilis with Broad Potential Biological Activities: Insights into Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, Cytotoxicity, and Anti-Alzheimer Activity. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12080715. [PMID: 36005587 PMCID: PMC9413097 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12080715] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Revised: 07/26/2022] [Accepted: 07/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
In the presented study, Bacillus subtilis strain AG4 isolated from marine was identified based on morphological, physiological, phylogenetic characteristics and an examination of 16S rRNA sequences. Novel exopolysaccharide (EPSR4) was extracted and isolated from the Bacillus subtilis strain as a major fraction of exopolysaccharide (EPS). The analysis of structural characterization indicated that EPSR4 is a β-glycosidic sulphated heteropolysaccharide (48.2%) with a molecular weight (Mw) of 1.48 × 104 g/mole and has no uronic acid. Analysis of monosaccharide content revealed that EPSR4 consists of glucose, rhamnose and arabinose monosaccharide in a molar ratio of 5:1:3, respectively. Morphological analysis revealed that EPSR4 possess a high crystallinity degree with a significant degree of porosity, and its aggregation and conformation in the lipid phase might have a significant impact on the bioactivity of EPSR4. The biological activity of EPSR4 was screened and evaluated by investigating its antioxidant, cytotoxicity, anti-inflammatory, and anti-Alzheimer activities. The antioxidant activity results showed that EPSR4 has 97.6% scavenging activity toward DPPH free radicals at 1500 µg/mL, with an IC50 value of 300 µg/mL, and 64.8% at 1500 µg/mL toward hydrogen peroxide free radicals (IC50 = 1500 µg/mL, 30 min). Furthermore, EPSR4 exhibited considerable inhibitory activity towards the proliferation of T-24 (bladder carcinoma), A-549 (lung cancer) and HepG-2 (hepatocellular carcinoma) cancer cell lines with IC50 of 244 µg/mL, 148 µg/mL and 123 µg/mL, respectively. An evaluation of anti-inflammatory activity revealed that EPSR4 has potent lipoxygenase (LOX) inhibitory activity (IC50 of 54.3 µg/mL) and a considerable effect on membrane stabilization (IC50 = 112.2 ± 1.2 µg/mL), while it showed cyclooxygenase (COX2) inhibitory activity up to 125 µg/mL. Finally, EPSR4 showed considerable inhibitory activity towards acetylcholine esterase activity. Taken together, this study reveals that Bacillus subtilis strain AG4 could be considered as a potential natural source of novel EPS with potent biological activities that would be useful for the healthcare system.

Abstract
Extra-cellular polysaccharides (EPSs) have excellent immunomodulatory functions. In order to further promote their application, we studied the ability of extra-cellular polysaccharides from different sources to regulate immunity. We studied the association of extra-cellular polysaccharides with immune factors (Interleukin (IL-2, IL-4, IL-10), Interferon γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), Immunoglobulin A (IgA), and Immunoglobulin G (IgG)) and different concentrations of EPSs and interfering media on experimental results by using a forest plot under fixed-effect or random-effects models. Through Google, PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, and Medline, from 2000 to 2021, 12 articles were included. We found that exopolysaccharides (from bacteria or fungi) could significantly increase the immune index of spleen and thymus, spleen index (SMD: 2.11, ‘95%CI: [1.15, 3.08]’; p < 0.01), and thymus index (SMD: 1.62, ‘95%CI: [0.93, 2.32]’; p = 0.01 < 0.05). In addition, exopolysaccharides had a significant effect on TNF-α (SMD: 0.94, ‘95%CI: [0.29, 1.59]’; p = 0.01 < 0.05). For IL-4 (SMD: 0.49, ‘95%CI: [0.01, 0.98]’; p = 0.046 < 0.05), extra-cellular polysaccharides had a statistically significant effect on immunity. Although the data of other immune factors were not ideal, the comprehensive analysis showed that exopolysaccharides also had an effect on the release of these five immune factors. In the sub-group analysis, different concentrations of EPSs affected the results of experiments on the spleen and thymus, and the CY intervention had a relatively significant effect on immune regulation. Taken together, our study highlighted that EPSs have a significant impact on immune regulation.

Abstract
A strain of Bacillus cereus was isolated from the Saudi Red Sea coast and identified based on culture features, biochemical characteristics, and phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA sequences. EPSR3 was a major fraction of exopolysaccharides (EPS) containing no sulfate and had uronic acid (28.7%). The monosaccharide composition of these fractions is composed of glucose, galacturonic acid, and arabinose with a molar ratio of 2.0: 0.8: 1.0, respectively. EPSR3 was subjected to antioxidant, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory activities. The results revealed that the whole antioxidant activity was 90.4 ± 1.6% at 1500 µg/mL after 120 min. So, the IC50 value against DPPH radical found about 500 µg/mL after 60 min. While using H2O2, the scavenging activity was 75.1 ± 1.9% at 1500 µg/mL after 60 min. The IC50 value against H2O2 radical found about 1500 µg/mL after 15 min. EPSR3 anticytotoxic effect on the proliferation of (Bladder carcinoma cell line) (T-24), (human breast carcinoma cell line) (MCF-7), and (human prostate carcinoma cell line) (PC-3) cells. The calculated IC50 for cell line T-24 was 121 ± 4.1 µg/mL, while the IC50 for cell line MCF-7 was 55.7 ± 2.3 µg/mL, and PC-3 was 61.4 ± 2.6 µg/mL. Anti-inflammatory activity was determined for EPSR3 using different methods as Lipoxygenase (LOX) inhibitory assay gave IC50 12.9 ± 1.3 µg/mL. While cyclooxygenase (COX-2) inhibitory test showed 29.6 ± 0.89 µg /mL. EPSR3 showed potent inhibitory activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and coagulase-negative staphylococci. The exposure times of EPSR3 for the complete inhibition of cell viability of methicillin resistant S. aureus was found to be 5% at 60 min. Membrane stabilization inhibitory gave 35.4 ± 0.67 µg/mL. EPSR3 has antitumor activity with a reasonable margin of safety. The antitumor activity of EPSR3 may be attributed to its content from uronic acids with potential for cellular antioxidant and anticancer functional properties.

Abstract
Viral infections may cause serious human diseases. For instance, the recent appearance of the novel virus, SARS-CoV-2, causing COVID-19, has spread globally and is a serious public health concern. The consumption of healthy, proper, functional, and nutrient-rich foods has an important role in enhancing an individual's immune system and preventing viral infections. Several polysaccharides from natural sources such as algae, bacteria, and fungi have been considered as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the US Food and Drug Administration. They are safe, low-toxicity, biodegradable, and have biological activities. In this review, the bioactive polysaccharides derived from various microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and algae were evaluated. Antiviral mechanisms of these polysaccharides were discussed. Finally, the potential use of microbial and algal polysaccharides as an antiviral and immune boosting strategy was addressed. The microbial polysaccharides exhibited several bioactivities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antitumor, and immunomodulatory activities. Some microbes are able to produce sulfated polysaccharides, which are well-known to exert a board spectrum of biological activities, especially antiviral properties. Microbial polysaccharide can inhibit various viruses using different mechanisms. Furthermore, these microbial polysaccharides are also able to modulate immune responses to prevent and/or inhibit virus infections. There are many molecular factors influencing their bioactivities, e.g., functional groups, conformations, compositions, and molecular weight. At this stage of development, microbial polysaccharides will be used as adjuvants, nutrient supplements, and for drug delivery to prevent several virus infections, especially SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
Wound dressings have become a crucial treatment for wound healing due to their convenience, low cost, and prolonged wound management. As cutting-edge biomaterials, marine polysaccharides are divided from most marine organisms. It possesses various bioactivities, which allowing them to be processed into various forms of wound dressings. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the application of marine polysaccharides in wound dressings is particularly important for the studies of wound therapy. In this review, we first introduce the wound healing process and describe the characteristics of modern commonly used dressings. Then, the properties of various marine polysaccharides and their application in wound dressing development are outlined. Finally, strategies for developing and enhancing marine polysaccharide wound dressings are described, and an outlook of these dressings is given. The diverse bioactivities of marine polysaccharides including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, haemostatic properties, etc., providing excellent wound management and accelerate wound healing. Meanwhile, these biomaterials have higher biocompatibility and biodegradability compared to synthetic ones. On the other hand, marine polysaccharides can be combined with copolymers and active substances to prepare various forms of dressings. Among them, emerging types of dressings such as nanofibers, smart hydrogels and injectable hydrogels are at the research frontier of their development. Therefore, marine polysaccharides are essential materials in wound dressings fabrication and have a promising future.

J Biosci Bioeng 2021; 132:560-568.

Abstract
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is a ubiquitous soil and plant-associated bacterial species which shows structural and adaptative responses to the environment. This present paper explores the ability of the strain L-17 to form subaerial biofilms on a liquid surface. Hydrophobic and non-wetting properties were observed for the rough top biofilm layer in contact with the air, which are quite different to the hydrophilic properties which were observed for the smooth biofilm layer in contact with the liquid. Both pellicle interfaces were visualized by scanning electron microscopy revealing a complex three-dimensional architecture composed of exopolymers organized in stacked fibrous network or sheet-like structures in the vicinity of the subaerial surface. Disruption of the extracellular matrix by combining physical and chemical treatments indicated that both loosely and tightly bound polysaccharides were found as major components of this complex pellicle. Proteins were also involved in the aggregation and cohesion of the matrix as multi extraction steps were needed to recover some tightly bounded proteins. This was confirmed by applying protease treatment which was able to significantly disrupt the pellicle. Overall results underline the ability of B. amyloliquefaciens L-17 to survive on air-liquid interfaces. This feature offers an interesting strategy to escape aquatic environments and develop aerial biofilm in response to environmental changes involving wet-dry cycles.

[PMID: 34502882 PMCID: PMC8434388 DOI: 10.3390/polym13172842] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2021] [Revised: 08/05/2021] [Accepted: 08/19/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study Bacillus amyloliquefaciens RK3 was isolated from a sugar mill effluent-contaminated soil and utilised to generate a potential polysaccharide with anti-Alzheimer's activity. Traditional and molecular methods were used to validate the strain. The polysaccharide produced by B. amyloliquefaciens RK3 was purified, and the yield was estimated to be 10.35 gL-1. Following purification, the polysaccharide was structurally and chemically analysed. The structural analysis revealed the polysaccharide consists of α-d-mannopyranose (α-d-Manp) and β-d-galactopyranose (β-d-Galp) monosaccharide units connected through glycosidic linkages (i.e., β-d-Galp(1→6)β-d-Galp (1→6)β-d-Galp(1→2)β-d-Galp(1→2)[β-d-Galp(1→6)]β-d-Galp(1→2)α-d-Manp(1→6)α-d-Manp (1→6)α-d-Manp(1→6)α-d-Manp(1→6)α-d-Manp). The scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy imaging of polysaccharides emphasise their compactness and branching in the usual tubular heteropolysaccharide structure. The purified exopolysaccharide significantly impacted the plaques formed by the amyloid proteins during Alzheimer's disease. Further, the results also highlighted the potential applicability of exopolysaccharide in various industrial and pharmaceutical applications.

Production, structural and biochemical characterization relevant to antitumor property of acidic exopolysaccharide produced from Bacillus sp. NRC5. Arch Microbiol 2021; 203:4337-4350. [PMID: 34110482 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-021-02422-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2020] [Revised: 06/01/2021] [Accepted: 06/02/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
This study targeted the production of exopolysaccharide from Bacillus sp. NRC5 grown in Egyptian seawater to use it as natural antitumor therapy. The biological activities of selected exopolysaccharide (BEPS) as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer have been studied. BEPS was evaluated as an anti-inflammatory in vitro against cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) and evaluated as an anticancer on human breast and prostate cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and PC3). In addition, BEPS antitumor activity was tested against the Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) model. The BEPS presented potent antioxidant activities, consisted of glucose, mannose, and mannuronic acid in a molar ratio of 1.0:1.7:0.8 with a molecular weight of 3.59 × 105 g/mol. BEPS showed a promising COX-2 inhibitory effect in comparison with the reference drug celecoxib. BEPS appeared efficient anticancer property, where it killed 64.20 and 70.20% of MCF-7 and PC3 cells at 100 µg/ml, respectively (IC50, 76.70, and 70.40 µg/ml, respectively). BEPS exhibited antitumor ability as it prolonged the lifespan of mice to reach 75 days instead of 20 days in the tumor control, reduced viable cancer cells count, tumor volume and weight, modulated blood components, and white blood cells differentiation. BEPS produced from Bacillus sp. NRC5 showed its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory abilities and antitumor abilities, which may all be attributed to its unique composition containing sulfated moieties and uronic acids.

Abstract
Halophilic micro-organisms often synthesize and produce extracellular polysaccharides (EPS), whose physical, chemical properties and material properties vary greatly from each other. The extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) development of Halomonas sp. MN795630 strain type halophilic bacterium (NASH) was investigated and whether biotechnological applications were feasible. After 168 hours of incubation, 4 g/L of EPS was produced and all elements from the medium were completely used during the growth. Sucrose has been identified as the most favorable carbon source for production of EPS and maximum production (6 g/l). Beef extract level was shown to be the best for EPS production among different nitrogen sources. Optimum production of EPS (10 g/L) were achieved by supplementing the medium with 4M NaCl, pH adjusted at 9 and the medium was inoculated with 7% initial inoculum. The purified EPS were characterized chemically. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer was observed in several functional groups. EPS also demonstrated an significant inhibitor of Candida albicans ATCC 10231 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027 (20.4 and 14.7 mm), respectively. EPS show satisfactory results when applied as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and emulsifier.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Algae-associated bacteria produce secondary metabolites that have a great biological impact. The aim of this study was isolation, identification and evaluation the antioxidant activities of the associated bacteria of seven algae, Padina pavonica, Dictyota dichotoma, Cystoseira myrica, Halimeda opuntia, Ulva lactuca, Digenea simplex and Jania sp. The bacteria were isolated, characterized and identified. Identification was carried out using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. MATERIALS AND METHODS The identified bacteria were belonging to 6 families, Alteromonadaceae, Bacillaceae, Lactobacillaceae, Pseudomonadaceae, Rhodobacteraceae and Vibrionaceae and 9 genera. The identified bacteria were belonging to genera, Alteromonas, Bacillus, Lysinibacillus Vibrio, Lactobacillus, Paracoccus, Leisingera, Pseudomonas and Pseudovibrio. The antioxidant activities of the bacterial ethyl acetate extracts was examined by scavenging DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) methods. RESULTS Out of the 17 isolated bacteria, Lactobacillus plantarum showed 95.7% free radical scavenging with EC50 = 17.7 μg mL-1, which is nearly similar to the positive control (Butylated Hydroxytoluene, BHT). The FRAP value of Lactobacillus extract was 2.00 mM ferric equivalent/mg of the extract. Phytochemical analysis of the bacterial extract revealed the presence of some secondary metabolites such as steroids, saponins, tannins, flavonoids, anthocyanin and betacyanin in all tested extracts. CONCLUSION The Red Sea algal associated bacteria have a great antioxidant potential that can be used in pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was planned to investigate the anti-breast-cancer property of acidic exopolysaccharide produced from marine Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 3MS 2017 (BAEPS) in an animal model, which previously showed in-vitro anti-breast-cancer activity, by studying its potential participation in various targeted mechanisms. METHODS Mammary carcinoma in female Sprague-Dawley rats, both in prophylactic and in curative designs, was chemically induced using 7,12-dimethylebenz-(a)-anthracene (DMBA). B. amyloliquefaciens 3MS 2017 anti-breast-cancer property was evaluated by studying its effects on cancer-growth-rate-limiting enzymes (aromatase and Na+/K+ ATPase), sexual hormones (estrogen and progesterone), antioxidant and inflammatory biomarkers (cyclooxygenase-1; COX-1 and cyclooxygenase-2; COX-2). The incidence of breast cancer by DMBA was dependent on the level of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and aromatase. RESULTS 7,12-Dimethylebenz-(a)-anthracene female rats were characterized by a significant increase in cancer-related biomarkers with an increase of oxidative stress biomarkers, in comparison with the negative control. Potent BAEPS anticancer activity on DMBA rats was exhibited either as a prophylactic or as a curative agent, which appeared via restoring the aromatase and Na+/K+ ATPase subunits levels and CEA close to the normal level. Besides, BAEPS modulated a sexual hormone, in comparison with the cancer control group (P ⩽ .05). B. amyloliquefaciens 3MS 2017 selectively inhibited COX-2 in parallel with promising antioxidant properties. The curative characters of BAEPS were more promising than the prophylactic. CONCLUSION The anti-breast-cancer characters accompanied with a good safety margin may be attributed to its inhibitory effect on cancer-growth-rate-limiting enzymes, estrogen production, COX-2 level and lipid peroxidation, concurrent with enhancing COX-1 level, progesterone production, and antioxidant status.

Abstract
Natural bioactive compounds with antioxidant activity play remarkable roles in the prevention of reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation. ROS, which are formed by different pathways, have various pathological influences such as DNA damage, carcinogenesis, and cellular degeneration. Incremental demands have prompted the search for newer and alternative resources of natural bioactive compounds with antioxidant properties. The marine environment encompasses almost three-quarters of our planet and is home to many eukaryotic and prokaryotic microorganisms. Because of extreme physical and chemical conditions, the marine environment is a rich source of chemical and biological diversity, and marine microorganisms have high potential as a source of commercially interesting compounds with various pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical applications. Bacteria and microalgae are the most important producers of valuable molecules including antioxidant enzymes (such as superoxide dismutase and catalase) and antioxidant substances (such as carotenoids, exopolysaccharides, and bioactive peptides) with various valuable biological properties and applications. Here, we review the current knowledge of these bioactive compounds while highlighting their antioxidant properties, production yield, health-related benefits, and potential applications in various biological and industrial fields.

Abstract
Marine-derived antioxidant polysaccharides have aroused extensive attention because of their potential nutritional and therapeutic benefits. However, the comprehensive comparison of identified marine-derived antioxidant polysaccharides is still inaccessible, which would facilitate the discovery of more efficient antioxidants from marine organisms. Thus, this review summarizes the sources, chemical composition, structural characteristics, and antioxidant capacity of marine antioxidant polysaccharides, as well as their protective in vivo effects mediated by antioxidative stress reported in the last few years (2013-2019), and especially highlights the dominant role of marine algae as antioxidant polysaccharide source. In addition, the relationships between the chemical composition and structural characteristics of marine antioxidant polysaccharides with their antioxidant capacity were also discussed. The antioxidant activity was found to be determined by multiple factors, including molecular weight, monosaccharide composition, sulfate position and its degree.

Abstract
Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) have recently served as an efficient substrate for the production of biocompatible metal nanoparticles (NPs) given their favorable stabilizing and reducing properties due to the presence of polyanionic functional groups in their structure. In the present work, Pantoea sp. BCCS 001 GH was used to produce EPS-stabilized biogenic Fe NPs as a complex through a novel biosynthesis reaction. Physicochemical characterization of the EPS-Fe complex was performed, indicating high thermal stability, desirable magnetic properties due to the uniform distribution of the Fe NPs with the average size of ∼10 nm and spherical shape within the EPS matrix. In addition, the in vivo toxicity of the EPS-stabilized Fe NPs was evaluated to investigate their potential for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia. Biological blood parameters and organ histology studies confirmed very high safety of the biosynthesized composite, making EPS-Fe a suitable candidate with an economical and environment friendly synthesis method for a wide spectrum of potential fields in medicine.

Abstract
Microbial flocculants are versatile class of novel biomacromolecules with numerous potential industrial applications. This study sought to investigate the antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory potential of a polysaccharide-based bioflocculant (PBB) extracted from Bacillus subtilis F9. To achieve this, the antioxidant activity of different PBB concentrations(100 μg/mL ̶ 1000 μg/mL) was first examined in vitro using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl radicals, and superoxide radical scavenging assays. Further, the anti-inflammatory activity of PBB against lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 1 μg/mL)-induced inflammatory mediators released from headkidney (HK)-derived macrophages of Labeo rohita was investigated. Our results revealed that the capacities of 800 μg/mL of PBB to scavenge DPPH, hydroxyl radicals, and superoxide radicals were 81.46 ± 1.37%, 66.34 ± 2.63%, and 78.03 ± 2.46%, respectively, which were slightly higher that observed following treatment with 400 μg/mL of the positive control (ascorbic acid). Further, the radical scavenging capacity of PBB was found to steadily increase with increasing concentrations of PBB. Pre-treatment with PBB also inhibited nitric oxide production in a dose-dependent manner. We next examined the effect of PBB on proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, and IL-1β) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10, TGF-β) via qRT-PCR and ELISA. We found that PBB markedly inhibited the LPS-induced mRNA and protein expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1β, while it significantly increased those of IL-10 and TGF-β. Further, PBB exhibited an antibacterial activity against multiple food-borne pathogens with minimal inhibitory concentration values in the range of 3 ̶ 11 mg/mL. Importantly, PBB exhibited negligible cytotoxic effects against HK macrophages. Taken together these results suggest that PBB may serve as a natural antioxidant for application in functional therapies and may also be exploited for its anti-inflammatory potential.

Abstract
In this paper we report the isolation and taxonomic characterization of exopolysaccharide (EPS) producing bacteria followed by the role of EPS in conferring acid tolerance to the soil bacteria Bacillus amyloliquefaciens p16. The role of EPS in promoting soil aggregation is also presented. A total of 75 isolates were tested for acid tolerance and biofilm production under acid stress of which, 54 isolates were further tested for EPS production. Out of the 54 isolates, 28 isolates produced EPS in the range of (67.88 and 219.96 µg/ml) with B. amyloliquefaciens p16 showing the highest production. The 28 isolates characterized for phenotypic and molecular traits mostly belonged to the members of the genera Bacillus, Brevibacillus, Brevibacterium, Paenibacillus, Serretia, Pseudomonas, Arthrobacter and Lysinibacillus. The monosaccharide components of the EPS produced by B. amyloliquefaciens p16 shifted from galactose to arabinose under acid stress as revealed through HPLC analysis. Inactivation of the epsB gene encoding putative bacterial protein tyrosine kinase (BY-kinases) in B. amyloliquefaciens p16 resulted in significantly less EPS (33.23 µg/ml) production compared to wild-type (WT) (223.87 µg/ml). The mutant (B. amyloliquefaciens 6A5) was barely able to survive in pH 4.5 unlike that of the WT. Further, inoculation of the WT and mutant B. amyloliquefaciens 6A5 in the soil resulted in formation of small sized soil aggregates (42.41 mm) with less water holding capacity (27.67%) as compared to the soil treated with WT that produced larger soil aggregates of size 80.59 mm with higher 53.90% water holding capacity. This study indicates that EPS produced by acid-tolerant B. amyloliquefaciens p16 can not only impart acid tolerance to the bacteria but also aids in promoting soil aggregation when applied to the soil.
