Abstract
This research represents a novel study to assess how coculture affects levan yield, structure, bioactivities, and molecular weight. Among the 16 honey isolates, four bacterial strains recorded the highest levan yield. The Plackett-Burman design showed that the coculture (M) of isolates G2 and K2 had the maximum levan yield (52 g/L) and the effective factors were sucrose, incubation time, and sugarcane bagasse. The CCD showed that the most proper concentrations for maximum levan yield (81 g/L): were 130 g/L of sucrose and 6 g/f of sugarcane bagasse. Levan's backbone was characterized, and the molecular weight was determined. G2 and K2 isolates were identified based on 16 sRNA as Bacillus megaterium strain YM1C10 and Rhizobium sp. G6-1. M levan had promising antioxidant activity (99.66%), slowed the migration activity to a great extent, and recorded 70.70% inhibition against the hepatoblastoma cell line (HepG2) at 1000 µg/mL. Gene expression analysis in liver cancer cell lines (HePG2) revealed that M levan decreased the expression of CCL20), 2GRB2, and CCR6) genes and was superior to Doxo. While increasing the expression of the IL4R and IL-10 genes. The DNA damage values were significantly increased (P < 0.01) in treated liver cancer cell lines with levan M and Doxo. The results referred to the importance of each of the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups and the molecular weight in levans bioactivities.

Abstract
The remarkable functional characteristics of Bacillus subtilis extracellular polysaccharides (BSPS) are of great interest. Therefore, in the present study, BSPS was isolated and characterized to obtain two fractions, BSPS-1 and BSPS-2, respectively, and to investigate their biological activities. BSPS-1 contained fructose, glucose, and galactose (molar ratio: 25.27:43.37:31.36), while BSPS-2 contained fructose with only trace amounts of glucose, galactose, and mannose (molar ratio: 55.08:19.03:19.21:6.68), and their respective average molecular weights were 16.9 kDa and 202.67 kDa. With a 93.55 % clearance of ABTS•+ at a concentration of 2 mg/mL of BSPS-1, the antioxidant activity revealed that BSPS-1 had greater antioxidant activity than BSPS-2 and that both were concentration-dependent. The inhibitory effect on HepG2 cells demonstrated that BSPS-1 and BSPS-2 significantly inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 and increased the expression of apoptotic proteins, causing apoptosis. The inhibition rate on HepG2 cells was dose-dependent and reached 52.7 % and 40.3 % after 48 h of action. BSPS-2 and 800 μg/mL BSPS-1 growth was inhibited in the G1/G0 phase, while 200 and 400 μg/mL BSPS-1 growth was inhibited in the S phase. In conclusion, the study of the BSPS's structure and properties can offer a theoretical foundation for real-world industrial applications.

Abstract
This study involved the extraction of an exopolysaccharide (EPS) from Azotobacter salinestris AZ-6, which was isolated from soil cultivated with leguminous plants. In a medium devoid of nitrogen, the AZ-6 strain displayed a maximum EPS yield of 1.1 g/l and the highest relative viscosity value of 3.4. The homogeneity of the polymer was demonstrated by the average molecular weight of 1.61 × 106 Da and a retention time of 17.211 min for levan. The presence of characteristic functional groups and structural units of carbohydrate polymers has been confirmed through spectroscopic analyses utilizing Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed a noteworthy decrease in weight (74 %) in the temperature range spanning from 260 to 350 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was utilized to verify the crystalline and amorphous characteristics of EPS-AZ-6. The EPS-AZ-6 exhibited significant cytotoxicity against the MCF-7 tumor cell line, as evidenced by an IC50 value of 6.39 ± 0.05 μg/ml. It also demonstrated a moderate degree of cytotoxicity towards HepG-2 cell line, as indicated by an IC50 value of 29.79 ± 0.41 μg/ml. EPS-AZ-6 exhibited potent antioxidant and in vitro antibacterial properties. These characteristics suggest the potential application value of EPS-AZ-6 in the food industry and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
Increasing industrialization and anthropogenic activities have resulted in the release of a wide variety of pollutants into the environment including pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and heavy metals. These pollutants pose a serious threat to human health as well as to the ecosystem. Thus, the removal of these compounds from the environment is highly important. Mitigation of the environmental pollution caused by these pollutants via bioremediation has become a promising approach nowadays. Actinobacteria are a group of eubacteria mostly known for their ability to produce secondary metabolites. The morphological features such as spore formation, filamentous growth, higher surface area to volume ratio, and cellular mechanisms like EPS secretion, and siderophore production in Actinobacteria render higher resistance and biodegradation ability. In addition, these bacteria possess several oxidoreductase systems (oxyR, catR, furA, etc.) which help in bioremediation. Actinobacteria genera including Arthrobacter, Rhodococcus, Streptomyces, Nocardia, Microbacterium, etc. have shown great potential for the bioremediation of various pollutants. In this review, the bioremediation ability of these bacteria has been discussed in detail. The utilization of various genera of Actinobacteria for the biodegradation of organic pollutants, including pesticides and PAHs, and inorganic pollutants like heavy metals has been described. In addition, the cellular mechanisms in these microbes which help to withstand oxidative stress have been discussed. Finally, this review explores the Actinobacteria mediated strategies and recent technologies such as the utilization of mixed cultures, cell immobilization, plant-microbe interaction, utilization of biosurfactants and nanoparticles, etc., to enhance the bioremediation of various environmental pollutants.

Abstract
Introduction Soil salinization is a serious abiotic stress for grapevines. The rhizosphere microbiota of plants can help counter the negative effects caused by salt stress, but the distinction between rhizosphere microbes of salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive varieties remains unclear. Methods This study employed metagenomic sequencing to explore the rhizosphere microbial community of grapevine rootstocks 101-14 (salt tolerant) and 5BB (salt sensitive) with or without salt stress. Results and Discussion Compared to the control (treated with ddH2O), salt stress induced greater changes in the rhizosphere microbiota of 101-14 than in that of 5BB. The relative abundances of more plant growth-promoting bacteria, including Planctomycetes, Bacteroidetes, Verrucomicrobia, Cyanobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, Chloroflexi, and Firmicutes, were increased in 101-14 under salt stress, whereas only the relative abundances of four phyla (Actinobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, Chloroflexi, and Cyanobacteria) were increased in 5BB under salt stress while those of three phyla (Acidobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, and Firmicutes) were depleted. The differentially enriched functions (KEGG level 2) in 101-14 were mainly associated with pathways related to cell motility; folding, sorting, and degradation functions; glycan biosynthesis and metabolism; xenobiotics biodegradation and metabolism; and metabolism of cofactors and vitamins, whereas only the translation function was differentially enriched in 5BB. Under salt stress, the rhizosphere microbiota functions of 101-14 and 5BB differed greatly, especially pathways related to metabolism. Further analysis revealed that pathways associated with sulfur and glutathione metabolism as well as bacterial chemotaxis were uniquely enriched in 101-14 under salt stress and therefore might play vital roles in the mitigation of salt stress on grapevines. In addition, the abundance of various sulfur cycle-related genes, including genes involved in assimilatory sulfate reduction (cysNC, cysQ, sat, and sir), sulfur reduction (fsr), SOX systems (soxB), sulfur oxidation (sqr), organic sulfur transformation (tpa, mdh, gdh, and betC), increased significantly in 101-14 after treatment with NaCl; these genes might mitigate the harmful effects of salt on grapevine. In short, the study findings indicate that both the composition and functions of the rhizosphere microbial community contribute to the enhanced tolerance of some grapevines to salt stress.

Abstract
Mushrooms possess wide array of biologically active secondary metabolites and have been traditionally used for their medicinal properties. Exopolysaccharide (EPS) is one of such bioactive metabolites. The bioactive attributes and emulsification capabilities of the exopolysaccharides produced by a novel brown-rot fungus Fomitopsis meliae AGDP-2 under submerged fermentation has been thoroughly investigated in the present study. Exopolysaccharide displayed anti-oxidant activities in dose dependent manner with the maximum scavenging of ABTS radicals (42.45%), DPPH radicals (75.34%), Hydroxyl radicals (63.64%), Superoxide anion radical (76.54%) and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power with IC50 value of 231 µg/mL. Additionally, evaluation of anti-proliferative properties revealed that EPS significantly inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 and HT-29 cancer cells followed by moderate inhibition of HeLa and MCF-7 cancer cell lines and quite less inhibition of L-132 and KB cell lines. The IC50 values of EPS for the abovementioned cell lines are 9.465 µg/mL, 11.25 µg/mL, 38.98 µg/mL, 87.78 µg/mL, 2061 µg/mL and 2361 µg/mL respectively. Moreover EPS also possess good anti-microbial as well as anti-biofilm properties. The studies on emulsification potential described that EPS is good emulsifier of different vegetable oils and the emulsion formed was quite stable up to 144 h.

Abstract
Tea (Camellia sinensis (L) O. Kuntze) is a long-duration monoculture crop prone to several biotic (fungal diseases and insect pest) and abiotic (nutrient deficiency, drought, and salinity) stress that eventually result in extensive annual crop loss. The specific climatic conditions and the perennial nature of the tea crop favor growth limiting abiotic factors, numerous plant pathogenic fungi (PPF), and insect pests. The review focuses on the susceptibility of tea crops to PPF/pests, drought, salinity, and nutrient constraints and the potential role of beneficial actinobacteria in promoting tea crop health. The review also focuses on some of the major PPF associated with tea, such as Exobasidium vexans, Pestalotiopsis theae, Colletotrichum acutatum, and pests (Helopeltis theivora). The phylum actinobacteria own a remarkable place in agriculture due to the biosynthesis of bioactive metabolites that assist plant growth by direct nutrient assimilation, phytohormone production, and by indirect aid in plant defense against PPF and pests. The chemical diversity and bioactive significance of actinobacterial metabolites (antibiotics, siderophore, volatile organic compounds, phytohormones) are valuable in the agro-economy. This review explores the recent history of investigations in the role of actinobacteria and its secondary metabolites as a biocontrol agent and proposes a commercial application in tea cultivation.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the differences in the characteristics of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) secreted by Mycobacterium gilvum SN12 (M.g. SN12) cultured on pyrene (Pyr) and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP). A heating method was used to extract EPSs from M.g. SN12, and the composition, emulsifying activity, and morphology of EPS extracts were investigated. Results showed that EPS extracts varied significantly with Pyr or BaP addition to the bacterial cultures. The concentration of proteins and carbohydrates, the main components of the EPS extracts, first increased and then decreased, with an increase in the concentration of Pyr (0-120 mg L-1) and BaP (0-120 mg L-1). A similar trend was observed for the emulsifying activity of the EPS extracts. EPSs extracted from all cultures exhibited a compact structure with a smooth surface, except for EPSs extracted from BaP-grown M.g. SN12, which revealed a more fragile and softer surface. These findings suggest that Pyr and BaP had different influences on the properties of isolated EPSs, providing insights into the mechanism underlying polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) biodegradation by some EPS-secreting bacteria. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the texture profile of EPS samples extracted from M.g. SN12 grown on PAHs.

Extracellular Polymeric Substances Produced by the Thermophilic Cyanobacterium Gloeocapsa gelatinosa: Characterization and Assessment of Their Antioxidant and Metal-Chelating Activities. Mar Drugs 2022; 20:md20040227. [PMID: 35447900 PMCID: PMC9029086 DOI: 10.3390/md20040227] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2022] [Revised: 03/16/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Cyanobacteria, particularly thermophilic strains, represent an important potential source of EPSs, harboring structural complexity that predicts diverse and specific bioactive potential. The thermophilic cyanobacteria Gloeocapsa gelatinosa, isolated from a natural hot source in Ain Echfa (Tunisia), was cultivated in a cylindrical reactor, and the production of biomass and EPSs was investigated. Results revealed that the strain is amongst the most efficient EPSs producers (0.89 g L−1) and that EPSs production was not correlated with the growth phase. EPSs were sulfated heteropolysaccharides containing carbohydrates (70%) based on nine different monosaccharides, mainly mannose (22%), and with the presence of two uronic acids. EPSs were formed by two polymers moieties with a molecular weight of 598.3 ± 7.2 and 67.2 ± 4.4 kDa. They are thermostable in temperatures exceeding 100 °C and have an anionic nature (zeta potential of −40 ± 2 mV). Atomic force microscopy showed that EPSs formed multimodal lumps with 88 nm maximum height. EPSs presented high water holding capacity (70.29 ± 2.36%) and solubility index (97.43 ± 1.24%), and a strong bivalent metal sorption capacity especially for Cu2+ (91.20 ± 1.25%) and Fe2+ (75.51 ± 0.71%). The antioxidant activity of G. gelatinosa EPSs was investigated using four methods: the β-carotene-bleaching activity, DPPH assays, iron-reducing activity, and metal-chelating activity. EPS has shown high potential as free radicals’ scavenger, with an IC50 on DPPH (0.2 g L−1) three-fold lower than ascorbic acid (0.6 g L −1) and as a metal chelating activity (IC50 = 0.4 g L−1) significantly lower than EDTA. The obtained results allow further exploration of the thermophilic G. gelatinosa for several biotechnological and industrial applications.

Abstract
In the present study, clarification of apple juice with tannase from S. marcescens IMBL5 produced using various agro-waste materials was carried out. Sugarcane bagasse was found to be the most suitable source for the augmented production of tannase enzyme by response surface methodology with the temperature at 40 °C, pH 4.5 and the incubation period of 96 hrs. The enzyme was quantified and partially purified through protein precipitation. The partially purified tannase with gelatin clarified about 62% of the apple juice in 3 hr of incubation at room temperature and it was gently increased with the incubation period. The detannification was characterized by estimating tannin content of the clarified juice. The amount of total reducing sugar in the juice was increased almost 50 % after 5 hours of incubation period. FTIR spectrum of the clarified juice revealed that the conformational changes that occurred in the functional groups. The spectrum absorptions between 500 and 1700 cm-1 mainly reflected the C=O stretch of the pectins and acids and C–O modes of the carbohydrates that correspond to the absorption zones of the sugars. The HPLC analysis of the clarified apple juice indicate the presence of phenolic compounds and sugar derivatives such as gallic acid, catechin, caffeic acid, epicatechin, glucose and sucrose which confirms the quality and clarity of the apple juice using the tannase enzyme.

Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 199:17-23. [PMID: 34952097 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.12.089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2021] [Revised: 11/03/2021] [Accepted: 12/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
In this study, an exopolysaccharide (EPS) was produced by Weissella cibaria NC516.11 isolated from distiller grains of Chinese Baijiu. The structural characterization of EPS determined using fourier transform infrared spectra and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra demonstrated that W. cibaria NC516.11 had α-(1 → 6) (93.46%) d-glucose linkages with a few α-(1 → 3) (6.54%) d-glucose linked branches. The monosaccharide composition of the EPS was glucose, and its molecular weight was 2.82 × 106 Da. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the microstructure of EPS had a three-dimensional structure at low magnification and a particle structure that protruded from the surface at high magnification. The addition of EPS into dough can promote the cross-linking of starch molecules and increase the water-holding capacity. Dynamic rheology indicated that the aqueous solution of EPS is a pseudoplastic fluid, and the higher the concentration of EPS, the greater the viscosity. The addition of EPS to the gluten-free dough showed G' > G", which could increase the viscoelastic properties of the dough and enhance the gluten network.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are important biopolymers with diverse applications such as gelling compounds in food and cosmetic industries and as bio-flocculants in pollution remediation and bioplastics production. This research focuses on enhancing crude EPS production from Rhodotorula mucilaginosa sp. GUMS16 using the central composite design method in which five levels of process variables of sucrose, pH, and ammonium sulfate were investigated with sucrose and ammonium sulfate serving as carbon and nitrogen sources during microbial incubation. The optimal crude EPS production of 13.48 g/100 mL was achieved at 1 g/100 mL of sucrose concentration, 14.73 g/100 mL of ammonium sulfate at pH 5. Variations in ammonium sulfate concentrations (1.27–14.73 g/100 mL) presented the most significant effects on the crude EPS yield, while changes in sucrose concentrations (1–5 g/100 mL) constituted the least important process variable influencing the EPS yield. The Rhodotorula mucilaginosa sp. GUMS16 may have the potential for large-scale production of EPS for food and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Toxic metal contamination has serious effects on human health. Crude oil that may contain toxic metals and oil spills can further contaminate the environment and lead to increased exposure. This being the case, we chose to study the bio-production of inexpensive, environmentally safe materials for remediation. Streptomyces sp. MOE6 is a Gram-positive, filamentous bacterium from soil that produces an extracellular polysaccharide (MOE6-EPS). A one-factor-at-a-time experiments showed that the maximum production of MOE6-EPS was achieved at 35 °C, pH 6, after nine days of incubation with soluble starch and yeast extract as carbon sources and the latter as the nitrogen source. We demonstrated that MOE6-EPS has the capacity to remove toxic metals such as Co(II), Cr(VI), Cu(II) and U(VI) and from solution either by chelation and/or reduction. Additionally, the bacterium was found to produce siderophores, which contribute to the removal of metals, specifically Fe(III). Additionally, purified MOE6-EPS showed emulsifying activities against various hydrophobic substances, including olive oil, corn oil, benzene, toluene and engine oil. These results indicate that EPS from Streptomyces sp. MOE6 may be useful to sequester toxic metals and oil in contaminated environments.

Abstract
A strain with high exopolysaccharide (EPS) production was isolated from soil and identified as Bacillus mojavensis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequencing and biochemical properties. The EPS produced simultaneously with the growth phase reached a maximum of 22 g/L after attaining a stationary phase with sucrose used as sole carbon source. B. mojavensis EPS (BM-EPS) was recovered, fractionated by ethanol precipitation and analysed by NMR and methylation analyses. The BM-EPS was found to be composed of (β2 → 6)-Fruf residues, characteristic of a levan, with an average molecular weight of 2.3 MDa. A homogeneous micro-porous and rough structure matrix was observed by SEM of the freeze-dried powdered sample. A concentration-dependent water-soluble nature was observed, with good water (5.3 g/g) and oil (36 g/g) holding capacities. The levan displayed good emulsification activity with excellent stability against food grade oil, thus favoring it as a promising emulsifying agent to food industries.

Abstract
In this study, an endophytic actinobacterium Glutamicibacter halophytocola KLBMP 5180, was investigated for the production and antioxidant activity of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). First, the suitable fermentation time, temperature, inoculation volume, pH value, and the carbon and nitrogen sources for EPSs production were obtained using the one variable at a time method (OVAT). Then, a central composition design was used for fermentation conditions optimization to obtain the maximum EPS yield. The optimal medium and condition were as follows: 100 mL broth in 250 mL Erlenmeyer flasks, including 3.65 g/L maltose, 9.88 g/L malt extract, 3.40 g/L yeast extract, 1.41 g/L MnCl2, pH 7.5, culture temperature 28 °C, and 200 rpm for 7 days, which increased the yield of EPSs to 2.89 g/L. Two purified EPSs, 5180EPS-1 (MW 58.9 kDa) and 5180EPS-2 (10.5 kDa), comprising rhamnose, galacturonic acid, glucose, glucuronic acid, xylose, and arabinose, were obtained for chemical analysis and antioxidant evaluation. The scavenging ability and reducing power of the superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals demonstrated the moderate in vitro antioxidant activities of the two EPSs, thus indicating their potential to be a new source of natural antioxidants. However, further structure elucidation and functional studies need to be continued.
