Molecular structural modification of myofibrillar protein from oyster (Crassostrea gigas) with oligosaccharides for improving its gel properties. Food Chem 2024; 455:139884. [PMID: 38865845 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139884] [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: 02/17/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
Glycation is a promising approach to enhance protein gel characteristics in the food industry. The impact of oyster myofibrillar protein (MP) being glycosylated with six oligosaccharides (dextran [Dex]-1 kDa, 5 kDa, 6 kDa, and 10 kDa, xylan [Xyla], and xyloglucan [Xyg]) on structural properties, aggregation behavior and gel properties was investigated in this study. The findings demonstrated that oligosaccharides significantly increased the glycation degree of MP by forming a stable tertiary conformation, increasing the contents of the disulfide bond and hydrogen bonds. Additionally, particle sizes decreased and solubility increased after glycation, improving the gel's strength, water-holding capacity, thermal stability, elastic modulus, and ordered network layout. It was determined that MP-Dex 5 had the best gel properties. The gel strength and water holding capacity of MP-Dex 5 increased by 70.59% and 32.27%, respectively. Molecular dynamics simulations results showed van der Waals energy and electrostatic interactions favor myosin binding to Dex or Xyla units. This study will provide insights into the relationship between molecular structure, aggregation behavior and gel property of oyster MP-oligosaccharide couples, and expand the application of oyster MP in food gels.

Abstract
Leuconostoc citreum JZ-002 was extracted from artisanal orange wine. This strain was used to synthesize dextran with a purification extraction of 27.9 g/L. The resulting dextran had a molecular weight of 2.45 × 106 Da. A significant portion, amounting to 64 % of the structure, is constituted by the main chain, with α-(1,6) glycosidic bonds acting as the linkages. In contrast, the branched chain, comprising 34 % of the entire molecule, is characterized by the presence of α-(1,3) glycosidic bonds. The dextransucrase DsrB, believed to be accountable for the formation of the dextran backbone, was successfully cloned into the pET-28a-AcmA vector. The recombinant expression of the enzyme was achieved. Purified recombinant enzymes and immobilized in a single go using the gram-positive enhancer matrix (GEM). The maximum yield of dextran produced by suchimmobilized enzyme was 191.9 g/L. The composition featured a dextran connected via α-(1,6) glycosidic linkages. Molecular weight controlled synthesis was achieved with sucrose concentrations of 100-2000 mM and enzyme concentrations of 320-1280 U. The Mw of the synthesized dextran extended from 4680 to 1,320,000 Da. By controlling the ratio between enzyme concentration and sucrose concentration, dextrans with diverse Mw can be enzymatically generated.

Carbohydr Polym 2024; 331:121898. [PMID: 38388043 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.121898] [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: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are traditionally known as prebiotics that foster colon health by serving as microbiota nutrients, while remaining undigested in the small intestine. However, recent findings suggest that α-glucan structures in EPS, with their varied α-linkage types, can be hydrolyzed by mammalian α-glucosidases at differing rates. This study explores α-glucan-type EPSs, including dextran, alternan, and reuteran, assessing their digestive properties both in vitro and in vivo. Notably, while fungal amyloglucosidase - a common in vitro tool for carbohydrate digestibility analysis - shows limited efficacy in breaking down these structures, mammalian intestinal α-glucosidases can partially degrade them into glucose, albeit slowly. In vivo experiments with mice revealed that various EPSs elicited a significantly lower glycemic response (p < 0.05) than glucose, indicating their nature as carbohydrates that are digested slowly. This leads to the conclusion that different α-glucan-type EPSs may serve as ingredients that attenuate post-prandial glycemic responses. Furthermore, rather than serving as mere dietary fibers, they hold the potential for blood glucose regulation, offering new avenues for managing obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and other related-chronic diseases.

Abstract
An exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing bacterium was isolated from apricot fermentation broth and identified as Gluconobacter frateurii HDC-08 (accession number: OK036475.1). HDC-08 EPS is a linear homopolysaccharide mainly composed of glucose linked by α-(1,6) glucoside bonds. It contains C, H, N and S elements, with a molecular weight of 4.774 × 106 Da. Microscopically, it has a smooth, glossy and compact sheet structure. It is an amorphous noncrystalline substance with irregular coils. Moreover, the EPS showed surface hydrophobicity and high thermal stability with a degradation temperature of 250.76 °C. In addition, it had strong antioxidant properties against DPPH radicals, ABPS radicals, hydroxyl radicals and H2O2. The EPS exhibited high metal-chelating activity and strong emulsifying ability for soybean oil, petroleum ether and diesel oil. The milk solidification test indicated that the EPS had good potential in fermented dairy products. In general, all the results demonstrate that HDC-08 EPS has promise for commercial applications as a food additive and antioxidant.

Carbohydr Polym 2024; 328:121700. [PMID: 38220337 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121700] [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: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
Soybean tempeh contains bioactive carbohydrate that can reduce the severity of diarrhea by inhibiting enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) adhesion to mammalian epithelial cells. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are known to be present abundantly in soybean tempeh. Some LAB species can produce exopolysaccharides (EPS) with anti-adhesion bioactivity against ETEC but there has been no report of anti-adhesion bioactive EPS from tempeh-associated LAB. We isolated EPS-producing LAB from tempeh-related sources, identified them, unambiguously elucidated their EPS structure and assessed the bioactivity of their EPS against ETEC. Pediococcus pentosaceus TL, Leuconostoc mesenteroides WA and L. mesenteroides WN produced both dextran (α-1,6 linked glucan; >1000 kDa) and levan (β-2,6 linked fructan; 650-760 kDa) in varying amounts and Leuconostoc citreum TR produced gel-forming α-1,6-mixed linkage dextran (829 kDa). All four isolates produced EPS that could adhere to ETEC cells and inhibit auto-aggregation of ETEC. EPS-PpTL, EPS-LmWA and EPS-LmWN were more bioactive towards pig-associated ETEC K88 while EPS-LcTR was more bioactive against human-associated ETEC H10407. Our finding is the first to report on the bioactivity of dextran against ETEC. Tempeh is a promising source of LAB isolates that can produce bioactive EPS against ETEC adhesion and aggregation.

Abstract
Introduction Extraction techniques that influence cell wall polysaccharides (EPS) is crucial for maximizing their bioactivity. This study evaluates ultrasound technology for extracting antioxidant polysaccharides from Geotrichum candidum LG-8, assessing its impacton antioxidant activity. Methods Ultrasound extraction of EPS from G. candidum LG-8 was optimized (18 min, pH 7.0, 40 W/cm2, 0.75 M NaCl). ABTS scavenging efficiency and monosaccharide composition of LG-EPS1 and LG-EPS3 were analyzed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results The Results showed that ultrasonic treatment markedly increased the ABTS radical scavenging efficiency of LG-8 cells by 47%. At a concentration of 1 mg/mL, the ultrasonically extracted LG-EPS1 and LG-EPS3 polysaccharides exhibited significant ABTS radical scavenging efficiencies of 26% and 51%, respectively. Monosaccharide composition analysis identified mannose and glucose in LG-EPS1, while LG-EPS3 was primarily composed of mannose. FTIR spectra verified the polysaccharides' presence, and SEM provided visual confirmation of the nanoparticle structures characteristic of LG-EPS1 and LG-EPS3. Discussion This research not only underscores the technological merits of ultrasound in polysaccharide extraction but also highlights the potential of G. candidum LG-8 derived polysaccharides as valuable bioactive compounds for antioxidant utilization.

Abstract
A type of high molecular weight bioactive polymers called exopolysaccharides (EPS) are produced by thermophiles, the extremophilic microbes that thrive in acidic environmental conditions of hot springs with excessively warm temperatures. Over time, EPS became important as natural biotechnological additives because of their noncytotoxic, emulsifying, antioxidant, or immunostimulant activities. In this article, we unravelled a new EPS produced by Staphylococcus sp. BSP3 from an acidic (pH 6.03) San Pedro hot spring (38.1 °C) located in the central Andean mountains in Chile. Several physicochemical techniques were performed to characterize the EPS structure including Scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gel permeation chromatography (GPC), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), 1D Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It was confirmed that the amorphous surface of the BSP3 EPS, composed of rough pillar-like nanostructures, is evenly distributed. The main EPS monosaccharide constituents were mannose (72%), glucose (24%) and galactose (4%). Also, it is a medium molecular weight (43.7 kDa) heteropolysaccharide. NMR spectroscopy demonstrated the presence of a [→ 6)-⍺-D-Manp-(1 → 6)-⍺-D-Manp-(1 →] backbone 2-O substituted with 1-⍺-D-Manp. A high thermal stability of EPS (287 °C) was confirmed by TGA analysis. Emulsification, antioxidant, flocculation, water-holding (WHC), and oil-holding (OHC) capacities are also studied for biotechnological industry applications. The results demonstrated that BSP3 EPS could be used as a biodegradable material for different purposes, like flocculation and natural additives in product formulation.

Abstract
In this study, Leuconostoc citreum BH10, an endophytic strain, was isolated from aseptically collected xylem sap of birch for the first time, and its exopolysaccharide (LCEPS) production was up to 46.31 g/L in glucan producing medium. The produced LCEPS was purified to obtain two water-soluble fractions, named as LCEPS-1 and LCEPS-2, respectively. The major fraction LCEPS-1 was characterized to be comprised of glucose with average molecular weight of 6.34 × 106 Da. The structure of LCEPS-1 was investigated by spectroscopy analysis, which revealed that LCEPS-1 was identified with containing 90.45 % α-(1,6) linkages in the main chains and 9.55 % α-(1,3) branch linkages. The scanning electron microscope results demonstrated that the dried LCEPS-1 appeared porous surface overlaid with an irregular glittering. The water solubility index (WSI) and water holding capacity (WHC) of LCEPS-1 were 88.02 ± 1.69 % and 241.43 ± 6.38 %, respectively. Besides, it exhibited high thermal stability as well as fine antioxidant activities. Taken together, the results indicated that LCEPS-1 could have good potentiality to be applied in fields of foods, cosmetics, nutraceuticals and pharmaceutical industries as the natural agent.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharide (EPS), a bioproduct of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), has various health-promoting biological activities that may be beneficial for cancer therapy. This in vivo and in vitro study aimed to elucidate the anti-colorectal cancer (CRC) capacity of a homopolysaccharide EPS obtained from Weissella confusa J4-1 (EPSJ4-1) isolated from the faeces of healthy infants. We confirmed that EPSJ4-1 contained glucose and effectively suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasion of CRC cells. EPSJ4-1 treatment significantly retarded the growth of HT-29 tumour xenografts without causing cytotoxicity to normal organs. EPSJ4-1 exerts an inhibitory effect on cell proliferation by inducing G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest in CRC cells. Furthermore, EPSJ4-1 upregulated p21 levels and downregulated mutant p53 and cyclin kinase 2 levels. This is the first study to demonstrate the antitumour effects of EPS from W. confusa on CRC via cell cycle arrest and inhibition of cell migration and invasion, suggesting that EPSJ4-1 has the potential to be developed as a nutraceutical or pharmaceutical drug to prevent and treat CRC.

[PMID: 37959867 PMCID: PMC10649592 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28217448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2023] [Revised: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum XZ01 (BLSL1) is a new strain (isolated from the intestines of healthy people and deposited with the preservation number GDMCC 61618). An exopolysaccharide, S-EPS-1, was successfully isolated from the strain and then systematically investigated for the first time. Some structural features of S-EPS-1 were analyzed by chemical component, HPLC, ultraviolet, infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum analyses. These analyses revealed that S-EPS-1 is a neutral heteropolysaccharide with an α-configuration. It contains mainly mannose and glucose, as well as small amounts of rhamnose and galactose. The molecular weight of S-EPS-1 was calculated to be 638 kDa. Several immunoregulatory activity assays indicated that S-EPS-1 could increase proliferation, phagocytosis, and NO production in vitro. In addition, S-EPS-1 could upregulate the expression of cytokines at the mRNA level through TLR4-mediated activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway in RAW 264.7 cells. Finally, S-EPS-1 was demonstrated to exhibit antioxidant activity by ABTS+• scavenging, DPPH• scavenging, and ferric-ion reducing power assays. Furthermore, S-EPS-1 can protect cells from oxidative stress and shows no cytotoxicity. These beneficial effects can be partly attributed to its antioxidant ability. Thus, the antioxidant S-EPS-1 may be applied as a functional food in the future.

İspirli H. Physicochemical Characterization of Dextran HE29 Produced by the Leuconostoc citreum HE29 Isolated from Traditional Fermented Pickle. Molecules 2023; 28:7149.

Abstract
In this study, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains were isolated from traditional fermented pickles, and among the identified strains, Leuconostoc citreum HE29 with a strong slimy colony profile was further selected to determine the physicochemical and techno-functional properties of its exopolysaccharide (EPS). Glucose was the only sugar monomer in the core unit of EPS HE29 detected by HPLC analysis, and glucan HE29 revealed 7.3 kDa of molecular weight. Structural characterization of glucan HE29 by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy analysis demonstrated that EPS HE29 was a dextran-type EPS containing 5.3% levels of (1 → 3)-linked α-D-glucose units. This structural configuration was also supported by FT-IR analysis, which also demonstrated the functional groups within the dextran HE29 structure. In terms of thermal properties detected by TGA and DSC analysis, dextran HE29 demonstrated a degradation temperature of around 280 °C, showing its strong thermal features. A semi-crystalline nature was observed for dextran HE29 detected by XRD analysis. Finally, AFM and SEM analysis revealed tangled network-like properties and web-like branched structures for dextran HE29, respectively. These findings suggest the importance of plant-based fermented products as LAB sources in obtaining novel EPS structures with potential techno-functional roles.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharides (EPS) are produced by probiotic bacteria Lactiplantibacillus plantarum PRK7 and L. plantarum PRK11. The structure of EPS-7 and EPS-11 was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GCMS), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Further, in in vitro studies antioxidant, emulsion, and antibiofilm activity were investigated. The FTIR spectrum confirmed the presence of polysaccharides in EPS-7 and EPS-11, with absorbance at 1654.93 and 1655.33 cm-1, respectively. H1 NMR further confirmed the presence of glucose, galactose, xylose, and mannose. Sugar derivatives in EPS-7 and EPS-11 were further confirmed with GCMS. The SEM analysis revealed that EPS-7 had a weblike structure and EPS-11 had a smooth porous layer. The result of the TGA revealed that EPS-7 and EPS-11 had greater thermal stability at 319.1 and 300.1 °C, respectively. Furthermore, EPS-7 and EPS-11 showed a good percentage of free radical scavenging in DPPH (89.77 % and 93.1 %), ABTS (57.65 % and 58.63 %), hydroxyl radical scavenging (44.46 % and 40.308 %), and reducing power assay. The emulsion activity was confirmed with edible oils such as coconut oil, sesame oil, almond oil, castor oil, and neem oil. The highest emulsion activity for EPS-7 and EPS-11 was found be with coconut and castor oil. In addition, the antibiofilm activity against pathogens revealed that EPS possess can prevent biofilm formation. Thus, it was found that EPS-7 and EPS-11 possess good structural characteristics and their biological activity makes them ideal for applications in the food and pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Polysaccharides synthesized by microorganisms (bacterial cellulose, dextran, pullulan, xanthan, etc.) have a set of valuable properties, such as being antioxidants, detoxifying, structuring, being biodegradable, etc., which makes them suitable for a variety of applications. Biocatalysts are the key substances used in producing such polysaccharides; therefore, modern research is focused on the composition and properties of biocatalysts. Biocatalysts determine the possible range of renewable raw materials which can be used as substrates for such synthesis, as well as the biochemistry of the process and the rate of molecular transformations. New biocatalysts are being developed for participating in a widening range of stages of raw material processing. The functioning of biocatalysts can be optimized using the following main approaches of synthetic biology: the use of recombinant biocatalysts, the creation of artificial consortia, the combination of nano- and microbiocatalysts, and their immobilization. New biocatalysts can help expand the variety of the polysaccharides’ useful properties. This review presents recent results and achievements in this field of biocatalysis.

Abstract
This study focuses the comparison on yield of microbial dextran using treated sugarcane molasses (SCM) as a feed stock from different treatment methods. The suitable method for treatment of SCM was identified on the basis of microbial dextran production. The different factors namely the concentrations of total sugars, nitrogen sources, inoculum size, shaking speed, initial medium pH, and phosphate sources influencing the production of microbial dextran were studied. The maximum yield of dextran was obtained to be 17.18 ± 0.08 g L-1 using the conventional optimization. The structural analysis of produced dextran from SCM with various treatment techniques was compared using Fourier-transform infra-red analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Later, the rheological behavior of produced microbial dextran was examined and found to be a non-Newtonian. To the best of our knowledge, the comparison on the production of microbial dextran through fermentation using SCM with various treatment strategies has not been performed yet.

Abstract
Soybean whey is a kind of agricultural by-product enriched with nutritional value but with low utilization. The extracellular polysaccharides secreted by lactic acid bacteria during the fermentation possess a variety of structural characteristics and beneficial properties. In this study, an exopolysaccharide (EPS) was isolated from Leuconostoc citreum 1.2461 after fermentation in optimized soybean whey-enriched 10% sucrose at 37 °C for 24 h. The water-soluble EPS-1 was obtained by DEAE-52 anion exchange chromatography, and the structural characterization of EPS-1 was investigated. The EPS-1 was homogeneous with an average molecular weight of 4.712 × 106 Da and consisted mainly of glucose. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum and flourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrum indicated that the EPS-1 contained →3)-α-D-Glcp-(1→ and →6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→ residues. The rheological properties of EPS-1 under the conditions of changing shear rate, concentration, temperature and coexisting ions showed its pseudoplastic fluid behaviors. In addition, the EPS-1 exhibited certain scavenging activity on the ABTS radical and chelating activity on metal ions at relatively high concentrations. Furthermore, EPS-1 with a certain concentration was confirmed to have significant protective effects on yeast cell injury induced by hydrogen peroxide. This study reported the structural characteristics of exopolysaccharide from Lc. citreum 1.2461 and provides a basis for its potential application in the field of functional foods.

Abstract
The present work aimed to characterize the exopolysaccharide obtained from water kefir grains (EPSwk), a symbiotic association of probiotic microorganisms. New findings of the technological, mechanical, and biological properties of the sample were studied. The EPSwk polymer presented an Mw of 6.35 × 105 Da. The biopolymer also showed microcrystalline structure and characteristic thermal stability with maximum thermal degradation at 250 °C. The analysis of the monosaccharides of the EPSwk by gas chromatography demonstrated that the material is composed of glucose units (98 mol%). Additionally, EPSwk exhibited excellent emulsifying properties, film-forming ability, a low photodegradation rate (3.8%), and good mucoadhesive properties (adhesion Fmax of 1.065 N). EPSwk presented cytocompatibility and antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The results of this study expand the potential application of the exopolysaccharide from water kefir as a potential clean-label raw material for pharmaceutical, biomedical, and cosmetic applications.

Abstract
Extremophilic microorganisms often produce novel bioactive compounds to survive under harsh environmental conditions. Exopolysaccharides (EPSs), a constitutive part of bacterial biofilm, are functional biopolymers that act as a protecting sheath to the extremophilic bacteria and are of high industrial value. In this study, we elucidate a new EPS produced by thermophilic Bacillus haynesii CamB6 from a slightly acidic (pH 5.82) Campanario hot spring (56.4 °C) located in the Central Andean Mountains of Chile. Physicochemical properties of the EPS were characterized by different techniques: Scanning electron microscopy- energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gel permeation chromatography (GPC), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), 1D and 2D Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The EPS demonstrated amorphous surface roughness composed of evenly distributed macromolecular lumps. GPC and HPLC analysis showed that the EPS is a low molecular weight heteropolymer composed of mannose (66%), glucose (20%), and galactose (14%). FTIR analysis demonstrated the polysaccharide nature (–OH groups, Acetyl groups, and pyranosic ring structure) and the presence of different glycosidic linkages among sugar residues, which was further confirmed by NMR spectroscopic analyses. Moreover, D-mannose α-(1→2) and α-(1→4) linkages prevail in the CamB6 EPS structure. TGA revealed the high thermal stability (240 °C) of the polysaccharide. The functional properties of the EPS were evaluated for food industry applications, specifically as an antioxidant and for its emulsification, water-holding (WHC), oil-holding (OHC), and flocculation capacities. The results suggest that the study EPS can be a useful additive for the food-processing industry.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the chemical structure, physicochemical properties, antioxidant capacity, antibacterial ability and anti-biofilm formation activity of an exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Lactobacillus curvatus SJTUF 62116 from the fish Gymnocypris przewalskii. The purified EPS, denoted as EPS-1, was mainly composed of glucose and mannose at a relative molar ratio of 1:1.05 with molecular weight of 31.9 kDa. The chemical structure of EPS-1 was consisted of →2)-α-D-Manp-(1→, →4)-α-D-Manp-(1→, →3,6)-α-D-Manp-(1→, T-β-D-Glcp-(1→, →6)-β-D-Glcp-(1→, and →3)-β-D-Glcp-(1→ glycosidic bonds. A sheet-like structure of dried EPS-1 was determined by scanning electron microscope (SEM), whilst a peak-shaped structure of EPS-1 was observed by atomic force microscope (AFM). The degradation temperature of EPS-1 was determined as 300.21 °C using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Moreover, the antioxidant capacity of EPS-1 at a concentration of 5.0 mg/mL against DPPH and ABTS was 84.50% and 92.53%, respectively. Furthermore, EPS-1 exhibited acceptable bacteriostatic efficacy against S. Enteritidis, E. coli, and S.aureus with significant inhibition of S. Enteritidis biofilm formation.

Techno-functional properties and immunomodulatory potential of exopolysaccharide from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum MM89 isolated from human breast milk. Food Chem 2022; 377:131954. [PMID: 34973591 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.131954] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2021] [Revised: 12/23/2021] [Accepted: 12/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
An exopolysaccharide, designated as MM89-EPS, was isolated from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum MM89. It was comprised of glucose and mannose molecules with an average molecular weight of 138 kDa. FTIR and NMR spectra showed that MM89-EPS had characteristic polysaccharide functional groups. MM89-EPS displayed excellent water solubility and capacities to retain water and oil due to its porous structure. MM89-EPS exhibited no significant cytotoxicity on RAW264.7 cells and showed strong immunomodulatory activity by increasing phagocytosis, acid phosphatase activity, and cytokine production in RAW264.7 cells. Furthermore, an in vivo study revealed that splenic indices, intestinal IgA levels, serum cytokine levels, and lymphocyte proliferation were increased in an MM89-EPS-treated cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppressed mouse model. To summarize, our results indicate that MM89-EPS can efficiently enhance the immunostimulatory activity of immune cells and an immunosuppressed mouse model. Hence, MM89-EPS may be use as a potential source of immunomodulatory agent in various food products.

Abstract
Sugarcane molasses is an agricultural by-product containing sucrose. In this study, the exopolysaccharide (M-EPS) produced by Leuconostoc citreum B-2 in molasses-based medium was characterized, optimized, and its application in set yogurt was investigated. The structure analysis, including gel permeation chromatography, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance, revealed that the M-EPS was a linear dextran composed of D-glucose units, which were linked by α-(1→6) glycosidic bonds with 19.3% α-(1→3) branches. The M-EPS showed a lower molecular weight than that produced from sucrose. The M-EPS was added into the set yogurt, and then the water holding capacity, pH, and microstructure of set yogurt were evaluated. Compared with the controls, the addition of M-EPS improved the water holding capacity and reduced the pH of set yogurt. Meanwhile, the structure of the three-dimensional network was also observed in the set yogurt containing M-EPS, indicating that M-EPS had a positive effect on the stability of set yogurt. The results provide a theoretical basis for the cost-effective utilization of sugarcane molasses.

Abstract
An EPS produced by Weissella confusa H2 was purified through Sephadex G-100, and the preliminary structure characteristics and biological activities of H2 EPS were analyzed. Molecular mass of purified H2 EPS was 2.705 × 106 Da as measured with gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Composition of monosaccharides, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy spectroscopy and fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) showed that the EPS was a linear homopolysaccharide, mainly constituted of glucose and it is suggested that the EPS was dextran with α-(1 → 6) glycosidic bonds and a few α-(1 → 3) branches. Atomic force micrograph (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of dextran further revealed sheets branched microstructure anchored with many irregular protuberances in aqueous solution. The XRD pattern reflected non-crystalline amorphous nature. In addition, the solubility, water-holding capacity, thermal property, rheological property and heavy metal chelating activity of the purified H2 dextran were determined. The dissolution percentage and water holding capacity of the dextran were 98.78 ± 1.37% and 426.03 ± 7.26%, respectively. The dextran exhibited good hydrophilicity, thermal stability and heavy metal chelating activity. Rheological studies exhibited rotational speed, pH, temperature, metal ions solutions dependent semiviscous nature. These results support its use as an additive in the food and environmental protection fields.

Abstract
Probiotics and their fermentation products are increasingly been focused on due to their health-boosting effects. Exopolysaccharides (EPS) synthetized by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are widely applied as texture modifiers in dairy, meat and bakery products owning to their improved properties. Moreover, LAB-derived EPS have been confirmed to possess diverse physiological bioactivities including antioxidant, anti-biofilm, antiviral, immune-regulatory or antitumor. However, the low production and high acquisition cost hinder their development. Even though LAB-derived EPS have been extensively studied for their production-improving, there are only few reports on the systematic elucidation and summary of the relationship among biosynthesis pathway, strain selection, production parameter, structure-function relationship. Therefore, a detailed summary on biosynthesis pathway, production parameter and structure-function relationship of LAB-derived EPS is provided in this review, the structural modifications together with the current and potential applications are also discussed in this paper.

Abstract
AIMS Heavy metal pollution seriously threatens human health and ecological environment. Due to high efficiency and excellent development prospect, adsorption technology has attracted worldwide attention. It is significant to develop renewable adsorbents with excellent adsorption performance. SCOPE In this study, the Pb2+ and Zn2+ adsorption capacity of Ca-alginate immobilized and free (without immobilization) Leu. citreum B-2 extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) was investigated. Isotherm and kinetic models were used to evaluate the adsorption performance. The adsorbents were characterized by SEM, FT-IR and XPS spectroscopy. CONCLUSIONS The maximum biosorption of Pb2+ 269.54 and Zn2+ 49.88 mg/g was achieved with immobilized EPS. Thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption of Pb2+ and Zn2+ on EPS was a spontaneous and feasible process, and the adsorption properties of EPS were exothermic for lead and endothermic for zinc. All the adsorption processes conformed to the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir adsorption isotherm model, indicating that the adsorption was mainly chemisorption taken placed on single adsorption surface. SEM results showed that the surface of EPS become denser after adsorption. FTIR and XPS analysis indicated that the adsorption mechanism mainly involved the complexation reaction and ion exchange of functional groups such as CO, O-C-O, -COOH and C-OH.

Abstract
The present study sought to isolate a novel exopolysaccharide (EPS-F2) from Enterococcus sp. F2 through ethanol precipitation, anion-exchange, and gel-filtration chromatography and characterize the physicochemical properties by spectral techniques. EPS-F2 was identified as a neutral homo-exopolysaccharide composed of only glucose with a high molecular weight of 1.108 × 108 g/mol. It contained →6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→ linkage in the main chain and →3, 6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→ branch chain). Moreover, EPS-F2 possessed excellent thermal stability (266.6°C), water holding capacity (882.5%), oil holding capacity (1867.76%), and emulsifying activity against various edible oils. The steady shear experiments exhibited stable pseudo plasticity under various conditions (concentrations, temperatures, and pHs). The dynamic oscillatory measurements revealed that EPS-F2 showed a liquid-like behavior at a low concentration (2.5%), while a solid-like behavior at high concentrations (3.0 and 3.5%). Overall, these results suggest that EPS-F2 could be a potential alternative source of functional additives and ingredients and be applied in food industries.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) produced by Bacillus species have recently emerged as promising commercial antioxidants in various industries, such as pharmaceutics and biomedicine. However, little is known about EPS production and function from Bacillus velezensis so far. In the present study, the effect of sugar sources on EPS production by B. velezensis VTX20 and the genetic biosynthesis, characteristics, and antioxidant activity of the resulting EPS were evaluated. The strain VTX20 produced the maximum EPS yield of 75.5 ± 4.8 g/L from an initial 200 g/L of sucrose after a 48-h cultivation. Through genomic analysis, ls-levB operon was found, for the first time, to be responsible for the levan-type EPS production in B. velezensis. Biochemical and structural characterization further confirmed the majority of levan, followed by an extremely low level of dextran biopolymer. The water solubility index and water holding capacity of the EPSs were 81.9 ± 3.4% and 100.2 ± 3.4%, respectively. In vitro antioxidant activity analyses showed strong scavenging activity for 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and hydroxyl radical values of 40.1–64.0% and 16.0–40%, respectively. These findings shed light on the EPS biosynthesis of B. velezensis at both structural and genetic levels and the potential application of EPS as a natural antioxidant for pharmaceutical and biomedical industries.

Abstract
Plastics have found widespread use in the fields of cosmetic, engineering, and medical sciences due to their wide-ranging mechanical and physical properties, as well as suitability in biomedical applications. However, in the light of the environmental cost of further upscaling current methods of synthesizing many plastics, work has recently focused on the manufacture of these polymers using biological methods (often bacterial fermentation), which brings with them the advantages of both low temperature synthesis and a reduced reliance on potentially toxic and non-eco-friendly compounds. This can be seen as a boon in the biomaterials industry, where there is a need for highly bespoke, biocompatible, processable polymers with unique biological properties, for the regeneration and replacement of a large number of tissue types, following disease. However, barriers still remain to the mass-production of some of these polymers, necessitating new research. This review attempts a critical analysis of the contemporary literature concerning the use of a number of bacteria-derived polymers in the context of biomedical applications, including the biosynthetic pathways and organisms involved, as well as the challenges surrounding their mass production. This review will also consider the unique properties of these bacteria-derived polymers, contributing to bioactivity, including antibacterial properties, oxygen permittivity, and properties pertaining to cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Finally, the review will select notable examples in literature to indicate future directions, should the aforementioned barriers be addressed, as well as improvements to current bacterial fermentation methods that could help to address these barriers.

Abstract
In this study, a novel exopolysaccharide (EPS) was extracted from Leuconostoc mesenteroides Shen Nong's (SN)-8 which can be obtained from Dajiang. After the purification step, EPS-8-2 was obtained with molecular weights of 1.46 × 105 Da. The structural characterization of EPS indicated that the EPS belonged to the class polysaccharide, mainly composed of glucan and also contained certain mannose residues that were found to be connected by α-1,6 glycosidic bonds. Moreover, the results demonstrated that EPS displayed a significant capacity to scavenge free radical to some extent, and this anti-oxidant potential was found to be concentration dependent. The results further revealed that EPS displayed a significant inhibitory potential on the growth of HepG2 cells by promoting apoptosis and induced cell cycle arrest in G1 and G2 phases. Overall, these results suggested that EPS can be explored as a possible anti-cancer agent.

Abstract
Homopolysaccharides (HoPS) produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are highly versatile, biocompatible and safe compounds. In this work, six HoPS from different species of Weisella and Leuconostoc were identified as thermally stable dextrans, with endothermic crystalline deformations between 214 and 239 °C. These dextrans proved to have greater solubility and capacities to retain water and oil than similar polymers in other reports. Furthermore, a surface morphology study presented cubic grumps, stratify mesh with irregular grumps, and highly compact filaments. Assays in vitro revealed moderate antioxidant, browning and foaming activities as well as technological properties, such as anti-syneresis, emulsifying and flocculating activities, even at low concentrations. Taking into account bipolymers' microstructure, functionalities and performance in both, aqueous and hydrophobic matrixes, plus their capacity to maintain themselves at elevated temperatures, we consider these HoPS beneficial and natural food additives.

Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 178:306-315. [PMID: 33652047 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.02.182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2020] [Revised: 01/09/2021] [Accepted: 02/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
In this study, exopolysaccharides (EPSs) produced by Weissella confusa XG-3 were characterized. The monosaccharide composition of XG-3 EPS was determined to include glucose according to GC data, and its molecular weight was 3.19 × 106 Da, as determined by HPLC. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed a smooth, porous, and branched structure, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) confirmed the presence of round lumps and chains on irregular surfaces of XG-3 EPS. The results of the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses suggested that XG-3 EPS is a linear α-(1,6)-linked dextran. X-ray diffraction (XRD) data confirmed the noncrystalline amorphous structure, and the results of the Congo red assay corresponded to the random coiled chain conformation of XG-3 dextran. XG-3 dextran exhibited good radical scavenging activity and reducing power and possessed high thermal stability, with a degradation temperature (Td) of 306.8 °C. The absolute value of the zeta potential and particle size of XG-3 dextran continually increased with increasing dextran concentration. The water contact angle showed that XG-3 dextran had relatively high hydrophobicity in the presence of sucrose. XG-3 dextran stimulated the growth of Lactobacillus spp. and Bifidobacterium spp. These findings indicate that XG-3 dextran has unique characteristics and can be potentially applied as a food additive and an antioxidant.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Lontar (Borassus flabellifer L.) is widely grown in Indonesia and one of its products is palm sap. Palm sap contains a high level of sugar, making it suitable as a medium to increase the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) production of exopolysaccharides (EPS). This study aimed to isolate the EPS-producing LAB from palm sap and evaluate its EPS production. LAB isolation was carried out on MRS agar containing 0.5% CaCO3. Materials and Methods: The screening and production of EPS were carried out on MRS media supplemented with 10% sucrose. The molecular identification of the selected EPS-producing LAB was based on 16S rDNA. A quantitative analysis of EPS polymer dry mass and total sugar was conducted using one-way ANOVA. Results: In this study, five EPS-producing LABs were found: Fructobacillus fructosus N4, Leuconostoc mesenteroides N5, Leuconostoc mesenteroides N7, Leuconostoc mesenteroides N9, and Fructobacillus fructosus N10. The highest EPS yield in liquid media was 10.997 ± 1.591 g/L by Leuconostoc mesenteroides N7, whereas the lowest was 4.505 ± 0.459 g/L by Fructobacillus fructosus N10. Conclusion: This study found Fructobacillus fructosus strains as EPS producers that have never been reported before.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are capable of producing a variety of exopolysaccharide α-glucans, such as dextran, mutan, reuteran, and alternan. Their structural diversity allows LAB-derived α-glucans to hold vast commercial value and application potential in the food, cosmetic, medical, and biotechnology fields, garnering much attention in recent years. Glycoside Hydrolase 70 family (GH70) enzymes are efficient tools for the biosynthesis of α-glucans with various sizes, linkage compositions, and degrees of branching, using renewable and low-cost sucrose and starch as substrates. To date, plenty of various LAB-derived GH70 glucansucrases (especially dextransucrase) have been biochemically characterized to synthesize α-glucans from sucrose with a variety of structural organizations. This review mainly aimed at the biotechnological synthesis of α-glucans using GH70 family enzymes and their diverse (potential) applications. The purification, structural analysis and physicochemical properties of α-glucan polysaccharides were reviewed in detail. Synchronously, some new insights and future perspectives of LAB-derived α-glucans enzymatic synthesis and applications were also discussed. To expand the range of applications, the physicochemical properties and bioactivities of LAB-derived α-glucans, other than dextran, should be further explored. Additionally, screening novel GH70 subfamily starch-acting enzymes is conducive to expanding the repertoire of α-glucans.

Extraction and characterization of polysaccharide-enriched fractions from Phoma dimorpha mycelial biomass. Bioprocess Biosyst Eng 2021; 44:769-783. [PMID: 33389169 DOI: 10.1007/s00449-020-02486-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2020] [Accepted: 11/16/2020] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE) were tested as advanced clean methods to obtain polysaccharides from Phoma dimorpha mycelial biomass. These methods were compared to conventional extraction (hot water extraction, HWE) in terms of polysaccharides-enriched fractions (PEF) yield. A central composite rotational design was performed for each extraction method to investigate the influence of independent variables on the yield and to help the selection of the condition with the highest yield using water as an extraction solvent. The best extraction condition of PEF yielded 12.02 wt% and was achieved when using UAE with direct sonication for 30 min under the intensity of 75.11 W/cm2 and pulse factor of 0.57. In the kinetic profiles, the highest yield (15.28 wt%) was obtained at 50 °C under an ultrasound intensity of 75.11 W/cm2 and a pulse factor of 0.93. Structural analysis of extracted polysaccharide was performed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and thermal property. The water solubility index, water holding capacity, and emulsification index of PEF were 31.3 ± 1.5%, 138.1 ± 3.2%, and 62.9 ± 2.3%, respectively. The submerged fermentation demonstrates the huge potential of Phoma dimorpha to produce polysaccharides with bioemulsifying properties as a biotechnologically cleaner alternative if compared to commercial petroleum-derived compounds. Furthermore, UAE and PHWE are green technologies, which can be operated at an industrial scale for PEF extraction.

Abstract
Fructan based biopolymers have been extensively characterized and explored for their potential applications. Linear chained biopolymers, like levan-type fructan, have gained attention because they have exhibited unconventional stretchable and unbendable properties along with biodegradable and biocompatible nature. Current study deals with the chemical characterization and cytotoxic analysis of fructose based exopolysaccharide that was extracellularly produced by an indigenously isolated bacterial species (Zymomonas mobilis KIBGE-IB14). Maximum yield of exopolysaccharide (44.7 gL-1) was attained after 72 h of incubation at 30 °C under shaking conditions (180 rpm) when the culture medium was supplemented with 150.0 gL-1 of sucrose as a sole carbon source. This exopolysaccharide displayed high water solubility index (96.0%) with low water holding capacity (17.0%) and an intrinsic viscosity of about 0.447 dL g-1. This biopolymer exhibited a characteristic linear homopolysaccharide structure of levan when characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (1H, 13C, TOCSY and NOESY) while, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) revealed its pointed and thorny structure. The decomposition temperature of levan was approximately 245 °C as revealed by Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) results revealed its amorphous nature with crystalline phase. Cytotoxicity of different concentrations of levan was investigated against mouse fibroblast cell lines by measuring their cellular metabolic activity and it was noticed that a higher concentration of levan (2.0 mg ml-1) permitted the normal cell growth of NIH/3T3 cell lines. This non-cytotoxic and biocompatible nature suggests that this levan has the capability to be utilized in food and drug-based formulations as it exhibited biomedical potential.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharides (EPS) are extracellular macromolecules excreted as tightly bound capsule or loosely attached slime layer in microorganisms. They play most prominent role against desiccation, phagocytosis, cell recognition, phage attack, antibiotics or toxic compounds and osmotic stress. In the last few decades, natural polymers have gained much attention among scientific communities owing to their therapeutic potential. In particular the EPS retrieved from probiotic bacteria with varied carbohydrate compositions possess a plenty of beneficial properties. Different probiotic microbes have unique behavior in expressing their capability to display significant health promoting characteristics in the form of polysaccharides. In this new era of alternative medicines, these polysaccharides are considered as substitutes for synthetic drugs. The EPS finds applications in various fields like textiles, cosmetics, bioremediation, food and therapeutics. The present review is focused on sources, chemical composition, biosynthetic pathways of EPS and their biological potential. More attention has been given to the scientific investigations on antimicrobial, antitumor, anti-biofilm, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities.

Abstract
A novel exopolysaccharide (EPS) from Paenibacillus polymyxa PYQ1 was extracted, well purified and characterized. This EPS was homogeneous glucomannan-type polysaccharide with the average molecular weight of 4.38 × 106 Da. Structural characterization indicated that the monosaccharides of EPS were pyranoses connected by β-glycosidic linkages. Furthermore, our results showed the protective benefits of EPS against UVC induced cytotoxicity in HaCaT cells through scavenging excessive reactive oxygen species, mitigating the decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential, improving catalase activity and maintaining membrane integrity. Taken together, this study qualified EPS from P. polymyxa PYQ1 was a promising natural polymer which worth further investigation as a skin-care agent.

Abstract
In the recent era, bioactive compounds from plants have received great attention because of their vital health-related activities, such as antimicrobial activity, antioxidant activity, anticoagulant activity, anti-diabetic activity, UV protection, antiviral activity, hypoglycemia, etc. Previous studies have already shown that polysaccharides found in plants are not likely to be toxic. Based on these inspirational comments, most research focused on the isolation, identification, and bioactivities of polysaccharides. A large number of biologically active polysaccharides have been isolated with varying structural and biological activities. In this review, a comprehensive summary is provided of the recent developments in the physical and chemical properties as well as biological activities of polysaccharides from a number of important natural sources, such as wheat bran, orange peel, barely, fungi, algae, lichen, etc. This review also focused on biomedical applications of polysaccharides. The contents presented in this review will be useful as a reference for future research as well as for the extraction and application of these bioactive polysaccharides as a therapeutic agent.
