Abstract
This study investigates how extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) synthesized by dark septate endophytic (DSE) improve alfalfa's drought resistance. Drought stress was simulated in hydroponic culture, and roots were treated with different EPS concentrations to determine their effects on drought tolerance and applicable concentrations. Hydroponic solutions with 0.25 and 0.50% EPS concentrations alleviated leaf wilting and increased total plant fresh weight by 35.8 and 57.7%, respectively. SEM shows that EPS attached to the roots and may have served to protect the root system. EPS treatment significantly depressed the MDA contents of the roots, stems, and leaves. Roots responded to drought stress by increasing soluble sugar contents and antioxidant enzyme activities, while mitigating stem and leaf stress by synthesizing lipid compounds, amino acids, and organic acid metabolites. Five metabolites in the stem have been reported to be associated with plant stress tolerance and growth, namely 3-O-methyl 5-O-(2-methyl propyl) (4S)-2,6-dimethyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-3,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate, malic acid, PA (20:1(11Z)/15:0), N-methyl-4,6,7-trihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, and 2-(S-glutathionyl) acetyl glutathione. In summary, EPS treatment induced oxidative stress and altered plant metabolism, and this in turn increased plant antioxidant capacity. The results provide a theoretical basis for the application of EPS in commercial products that increase plant resistance and ecological restoration.

Abstract
Psychobiotics are a class of probiotics that confer beneficial effects on the mental health of the host. We have previously reported hypnotic effects of a psychobiotic strain, Lactobacillus fermentum PS150 (PS150), which significantly shortens sleep latency in experimental mice, and effectively ameliorate sleep disturbances caused by either caffeine consumption or a novel environment. In the present study, we discovered a L. fermentum strain, GR1009, isolated from the same source of PS150, and found that GR1009 is phenotypically distinct but genetically similar to PS150. Compared with PS150, GR1009 have no significant hypnotic effects in the pentobarbital-induced sleep test in mice. In addition, we found that heat-killed PS150 exhibited hypnotic effects and altered the gut microbiota in a manner similar to live bacteria, suggesting that a heat-stable effector, such as exopolysaccharide (EPS), could be responsible for these effects. Our comparative genomics analysis also revealed distinct genetic characteristics in EPS biosynthesis between GR1009 and PS150. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy imaging showed a sheet-like EPS structure in PS150, while GR1009 displayed no apparent EPS structure. Using the phenol-sulfate assay, we found that the sugar content value of the crude extract containing EPS (C-EPS) from PS150 was approximately five times higher than that of GR1009, indicating that GR1009 has a lower EPS production activity than PS150. Through the pentobarbital-induced sleep test, we confirmed the hypnotic effects of the C-EPS isolated from PS150, as evidenced by a significant reduction in sleep latency and recovery time following oral administration in mice. In summary, we utilized a comparative approach to delineate differences between PS150 and GR1009 and proposed that EPS may serve as a key factor that mediates the observed hypnotic effect.

Molecular structures of high- and low-methoxy water-soluble polysaccharides derived from peas and their functions for stabilizing milk proteins under acidic conditions. Food Res Int 2023; 165:112390. [PMID: 36869463 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2022.112390] [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: 09/22/2022] [Revised: 12/18/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
The structural and functional properties of two different pea water-soluble polysaccharides, a high methyl-esterified (HM-SPPS; degree of methyl esterification (DMe): 71.0 %) and low methyl-esterified SPPS (LM-SPPS; DMe: 25.2 %) were investigated. The two extracts did not vary in composition and showed a weight average molecular mass of about 1,000 kDa, as measured by size exclusion chromatography equipped with a multi-angle light scattering detector. Both HM-SPPS and LM-SPPS had similar sugar compositions, with arabinose 42.2-47.1 %, glucose 26.6-31.0 %, and galacturonic acid 17.5-18.0 %, as their main sugars. Their charge varied as a function of pH. The molecular structure was observed by a scanning probe microscope and showed a straight chain structure with small branches. The structure was similar to that already reported for polysaccharides from kidney bean. SPPS molecules interact with acidified milk protein particles at pH < 4.4. There were differences between the two SPPS. LM-SPPS could stabilize a model acidified milk dispersion with minimal aggregation between pH 3.6-4.4, while HM-SPPS showed the presence of bridging flocculation caused by polysaccharide's entanglements. It was concluded that SPPS stabilizes acidified protein by steric and electrostatic repulsion.

Abstract
Over-use or misuse of antibiotics in livestock and poultry production contributes to the rising threat of antibiotic resistance in animals and has negative ecological effects. Exopolysaccharides from lactic acid bacteria (LAB-EPS) are a class of biological macromolecules which are secreted by lactic acid bacteria to the outside of the cell wall during their growth and metabolism. Numerous studies demonstrated that LAB-EPS have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities and are able to regulate intestinal health and the immune system in livestock. They are biodegradable, nontoxic and bio-compatible, which are considered as ideal alternatives to antibiotics. This review aims to discuss and summarize recent research findings of LAB-EPS on regulation of intestinal health and the immune system in animals, and thus provide scientific justification for commercial applications of LAB-EPS in livestock.

Abstract
The pH value was essential for the growth and metabolism of microorganisms. Acidic pH exopolysaccharide (AC-EPS) and alkaline pH exopolysaccharide (AL-EPS) secreted by A. australica QD mediated by pH were studied in this paper. The total carbohydrate content and molecular weight of AC-EPS (79.59% ± 2.24% (w/w), 8.374 × 105 Da) and AL-EPS (82.48% ± 1.46% (w/w), 6.182 × 105 Da) were estimated and compared. In AC-EPS, mannose (3.78%) and galactose (3.24%) content was more, while the proportion of glucuronic acid was less in comparison to AL-EPS. The scanning electron microscopy revealed the structural differences among the AC-EPS and AL-EPS. Thermogravimetric analysis showed degradation temperatures of 272.8 °C and 244.9 °C for AC-EPS and AL-EPS, respectively. AC-EPS was found to exhibit better rheological properties and emulsifying capabilities, while AL-EPS had superior antioxidant activities. Overall, both AC-EPS and AL-EPS have the potential to be used as emulsifiers and biological antioxidants.

Abstract
Microbial polysaccharides as renewable bioproducts have attracted lots of attention in various industries. Hesan (Highly elastic Sanxan), an exopolysaccharide produced by a plasma mutagenic strain Sphingomonas sanxanigenens NX03, was characterized. It possessed the same monosaccharide composition as the original polysaccharide Sanxan produced from wild-type strain NX02, but significantly reduced acetyl and glyceryl contents. Textural analysis showed the springiness and cohesiveness of Hesan gel was much higher than Sanxan gel, and rheological behaviors indicated it possessed a lower loss factor, and its conformational transition temperatures at different concentrations were obviously lower than Sanxan gel and high-acyl gellan gel, which suggested that Hesan gel was highly elastic and temperature-sensitive. Additionally, Hesan gel could be efficiently produced through micro-aerobic static culture in shallow (10.46 ± 0.30 g/L) and deep liquids (3.21 ± 0.32 g/L), which was significantly different from the fermentation of other water-soluble polysaccharides. In short, this study characterizes a new mutant strain and its polysaccharide products.

Abstract
The exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NMGL2 isolated from traditional fermented dairy cheese was purified chromatographically with DEAE-Sepharose and Sepharose CL-6B columns. The purified EPS was characterized by various physicochemical methods and in vitro fecal microbiota regulation assay. The results showed that the EPS had a relatively low molecular weight of 3.03 × 104 Da, and it had a relatively high degradation temperature of 245 °C as determined by differential scanning calorimetry. Observation of the EPS by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy revealed a highly branched and tangled fibrous network microstructure with many hollow microtubules and spherical particles. Structural study by 1H NMR spectroscopy suggested that the EPS contained a tetrasaccharide repeating unit with monosaccharide components of β-galactose (4.6%), α-glucose (20.6%), and α-mannose (74.8%). The EPS was highly resistant to hydrolysis of simulated human saliva, gastric, and intestinal juices. Moreover, the EPS beneficially affected the composition and diversity of the fecal microbiota, e.g., increasing the relative abundance of Firmicutes and inhibiting that of Proteobacteria. The results of this study indicated significant bioactivity of this novel low-molecular-weight EPS produced by Lpb. plantarum NMGL2, which could serve as a bioactive agent for potential applications in the food and health care industry.

Abstract
The present work aimed at investigating an extraction protocol based on consecutive steps of isoelectric point (pH ~ 4.25) mediated gum swelling and deproteinisation as an alternative method to produce flaxseed gum extracts of enhanced techno-functional characteristics. The osidic and proximate composition, structure conformation, flow behaviour, dynamic rheological and thermal properties of gums isolated from brown and golden flaxseeds were assessed. Gum extraction under near-to-isoelectric point conditions did not impair the extraction yield, residual protein and ash content, whilst it resulted in minor changes in the sugar composition of the flaxseed gum extracts. The deconvolution of the GPC/SEC chromatographs revealed the presence of four major polysaccharidic populations corresponding to arabinoxylans, rhamnogalacturonan-I and two AX-RG-I composite fractions. The latter appeared to minimise the intra- and interchain polymer non-covalent interactions (hydrogen bonding) leading to a better solvation affinity in water and lyotropic solvents. Golden flaxseed gums exerted higher molecular weight (Mw = 1.34-1.15 × 106 Da) and intrinsic viscosities (6.63-5.13 dL g-1) as well as better thickening and viscoelastic performance than the brown flaxseed gum exemplars. Golden flaxseed gums exhibited a better thermal stability compared to the brown flaxseed counterparts and therefore, they are suitable for product applications involving severe heat treatments.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the optimal fermentation condition, purification and rheological properties of extracellular polymers produced by Bacillus subtilis 1006-3. An optimum temperature of 30.2 °C, inoculation amount of 6.1%, and pH of 8.2 were determined via Response Surface Methodology. The result of amino acid analysis and gel electrophoresis indicated that the obtained polymer contained only glutamic acid, with a wide molecular weight range. This polymer was finally determined as γ-PGA by infrared spectroscopy. The γ-PGA solution displayed a behavior of pseudoplastic non-Newtonian fluid with shear thinning properties, which can be described by the Ostward-de Waele power law model. The apparent viscosity of γ-PGA solution increased with the increase in its concentration from 1% to 10%. The deviation in pH from neutral value, and the addition of NaCl or MgCl2 can reduce the apparent viscosity of γ-PGA solution, and it was more sensitive to Mg2+ than to Na+ addition. At the concentration of 4, 6, and 8%, γ-PGA solution showed predominantly viscous response in the range of 0.1-100 rad/s angular frequency (G″>G'). These results indicated the potential application of the γ-PGA as a thickening agent.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of GSM 1800 band radiation on composition, structure and bioactivity of exopolysaccharides (EPSs) produced by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus were determined. For this, GSM 1800 band radiation was applied to both cultures and characteristics of EPSs extracted from the control groups (K) and the radiation stressed groups (R) were determined. An alteration in the chemical composition of the EPSs was observed and EPS production levels and molecular weights of the EPSs increased following the GSM 1800 band radiation application. Alterations in the functional groups, thermal and morphological characteristics of EPSs following the GSM 1800 band radiation application were confirmed by FTIR, TGA and SEM analysis, respectively. Importantly no alterations in the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of the EPSs were observed following the radiation application. These results suggested the effects of the GSM radiation on final characteristics of EPSs from yogurt starter cultures.

Factors affecting decreasing viscosity of the culture medium during the stationary growth phase of exopolysaccharide-producing Lactobacillus fermentum MTCC 25067. BIOSCIENCE OF MICROBIOTA FOOD AND HEALTH 2020; 39:160-168. [PMID: 32775135 PMCID: PMC7392921 DOI: 10.12938/bmfh.2019-051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2019] [Accepted: 03/06/2020] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
Lactobacillus fermentum MTCC 25067 produces a hetero-exopolysaccharide (HePS) when cultured which forms supramolecular networks in the culture medium, increasing
the viscosity. In the present study, the viscosity of the bacterial culture reached its maximum at 48 hr of cultivation and then decreased during a stationary growth phase lasting
for up to 144 hr. The monosaccharide composition did not change during the stationary growth phase, whereas degradation of HePS molecules was noticeable, leading to partial
disintegration of their supramolecular networks. The viscosity values of the HePS purified from the culture and dissolved in a fresh medium indicated little contribution of medium
components to the viscosity. Absence of the apparent network structure of the HePS in the surrounding area of bacterial cells was observed during the late growth phase, supporting
the idea that the decreases in culture viscosity during the prolonged period of cultivation were caused mainly by reduced interactions between bacterial cells and the intact
supramolecular networks as a consequence of decreasing bacterial cell wall integrity and partial degradation of HePS molecules.

Carbohydr Polym 2019; 228:115410.

Abstract
A polysaccharide (PPS) in peanut sediment of aqueous extraction process was obtained at pH4.0, purified via anion-exchange chromatography. The composition, chain conformation and rheological properties were investigated. PPS mainly consisted of arabinose, galacturonic acid, xylose, and rhamnose. The intrinsic viscosity [η] was 0.71 dL/g in 0.1 M NaNO3 solution. The weight-average molar mass Mw and polydispersity index were 3.77 × 105 g/mol and 1.25, suggesting high homogeneity. The average radius of gyration (Rg), hydrodynamic radius (Rh), Rg/Rh ratio and conformation parameter v were 25.5, 18.2, 1.40 and 0.21, respectively, indicating compact coil chain conformation with branched structure. Molecular morphology revealed that PPS displayed chain shape comprised of spheres with a diameter range of 15-50 nm and apparent length of chains mainly ranged from 100 to 300 nm. The aggregation caused by molecular self-association enhanced with concentration increasing. Additionally, Newtonian behavior was observed at various concentrations. Increase in temperature effectively broke this behavior. 10.0 wt.% PPS possessed activation energy of 21.7 KJ/mol, was structured liquid and almost fitted Cox-Merz rule. These closely related with its conformation and molecular self-association behavior.
