Abstract
Cancer treatment faces numerous challenges, such as inadequate drug targeting, steep price tags, grave toxic side effects, and limited therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a safe and effective new drug to combat cancer. Microbial polysaccharides, complex and diverse biological macromolecules, exhibit significant microbial variability and uniqueness. Studies have shown that terrestrial microbial polysaccharides possess a wide range of biological activities, including immune enhancement, antioxidant properties, antiviral effects, anti-tumour potential, and hypoglycemic functions. To delve deeper into the structure-activity relationship of these land-based microbial polysaccharides against cancer, we conducted a comprehensive review and analysis of anti-cancer literature published between 2020 and 2024. The anticancer efficacy of terrestrial microbial polysaccharides is influenced by multiple factors, including the microbial species, existing form, chemical structure, and polysaccharide purity. According to the literature, an optimal molecular weight and good water solubility are essential for demonstrating anticancer activity. Furthermore, the addition of mannose and galactose has been found to significantly enhance the anticancer properties of these polysaccharides. These insights will serve as a valuable reference for future research and progress in the field of cancer drug therapy, particularly with regards to terrestrial microbial polysaccharides.

Abstract
In this study, EPS production conditions of Geobacillus thermodenitrificans HBB 111, a thermophilic microorganism, were optimized and the amount of produced EPS (EPS 111) was found to be 44.0 mg/L. EPS 111 was purified using ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography, and a single type of exopolysaccharide was obtained. The structure of the purified EPS 111 was evaluated by TLC, FTIR, NMR, and GC-MS, and it was observed that it contained hexose (glucose, fructose, galactose and mannose) and pentose sugars. From the SEM photographs, it was understood that EPS 111 had an amorphous, rough, and layered structure. It was found that purified EPS 111 had low cytotoxicity (2.3%) and exhibited high antioxidant activity and remarkable antidiabetic, prebiotic and fibrinolytic activities. It is very valuable that the purified EPS 111 in this study offers multiple biological activities compared to the thermophilic EPSs reported in the literature and has a high potential for use in biotechnological and biomedical fields.

Abstract
Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) have various physiological functions such as antioxidant, anti-tumor, cholesterol lowering, and immune regulation. However, improving traditional fermentation conditions to increase the production of EPS from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) is limited. In this study, we aimed to better improve EPS production and physiological functions of L. plantarum YM-4-3 strain by overexpressing and knocking out the priming glycosyltransferase genes cps 2E and cps 4E for the first time. As a result, the EPS production of the overexpression strain was 30.15 %, 26.84 % and 36.29 % higher than WT, respectively. The EPS production of the knockout strain was significantly lower than that of the WT. At the same time, transcriptome data showed that the gene expression levels of each experimental strain had changed. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways found that the glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathway had the highest gene enrichment in the metabolic pathway. The monosaccharide components of the EPS of each experimental strain were different from those of the WT and the EPS of the experimental strain showed stronger activity against oxidation. In conclusion, this study contributes to the efficient production and application of L. plantarum EPS and helps to understand the mechanism of EPS regulation in L. plantarum.

J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2024; 39:496-505. [PMID: 38111357 DOI: 10.1111/jgh.16437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is one of the most common precancerous lesions of pancreatic carcinoma. Studies have found that the tumoral microbiome has an important influence on pancreatic carcinoma. However, the tumoral microbiome of IPMNs has rarely been explored. METHODS Tumoral microbiome gene sequencing was carried out using 16 specimens of IPMN and 45 specimens of IPMN with associated invasive carcinoma (IPMN-IC) by 2bRAD sequencing for microbiome. The profile of the tumoral microbiome was summarized. Associations of the tumoral microbiome with disease grade, histological subtype, and prognosis were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 598 species of microbes were identified, comprising 228 genera, 109 families, 60 orders, 29 classes, 14 phyla, and 2 kingdoms. The genus Pseudomonas was detected more frequently and had higher relative abundance in IPMN-ICs; Alcaligenes faecalis was detected with higher relative abundance in IPMNs. Bifidobacterium pseudolongum had a higher relative abundance in the IPMN-IC group, regardless of histological subtype. Moreover, among patients with IPMN-ICs, those with a high relative abundance of B. pseudolongum had better overall survival than those with a low relative abundance. Patients who were positive for Staphylococcus aureus or Mycolicibacillus koreensis had shorter survival. The presence of S. aureus was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis. CONCLUSIONS There are enriching tumoral microbes in IPMN. The tumoral microbiome of IPMN is different from that of IPMN-IC.

Biotechnological Key Genes of the Rhodococcus erythropolis MGMM8 Genome: Genes for Bioremediation, Antibiotics, Plant Protection, and Growth Stimulation. Microorganisms 2023; 12:88. [PMID: 38257915 PMCID: PMC10819586 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12010088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Anthropogenic pollution, including residues from the green revolution initially aimed at addressing food security and healthcare, has paradoxically exacerbated environmental challenges. The transition towards comprehensive green biotechnology and bioremediation, achieved with lower financial investment, hinges on microbial biotechnology, with the Rhodococcus genus emerging as a promising contender. The significance of fully annotating genome sequences lies in comprehending strain constituents, devising experimental protocols, and strategically deploying these strains to address pertinent issues using pivotal genes. This study revolves around Rhodococcus erythropolis MGMM8, an associate of winter wheat plants in the rhizosphere. Through the annotation of its chromosomal genome and subsequent comparison with other strains, its potential applications were explored. Using the antiSMASH server, 19 gene clusters were predicted, encompassing genes responsible for antibiotics and siderophores. Antibiotic resistance evaluation via the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD) identified five genes (vanW, vanY, RbpA, iri, and folC) that were parallel to strain CCM2595. Leveraging the NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP) for biodegradation, heavy metal resistance, and remediation genes, the presence of chlorimuron-ethyl, formaldehyde, benzene-desulfurization degradation genes, and heavy metal-related genes (ACR3, arsC, corA, DsbA, modA, and recG) in MGMM8 was confirmed. Furthermore, quorum-quenching signal genes, critical for curbing biofilm formation and virulence elicited by quorum-sensing in pathogens, were also discerned within MGMM8's genome. In light of these predictions, the novel isolate MGMM8 warrants phenotypic assessment to gauge its potential in biocontrol and bioremediation. This evaluation extends to isolating active compounds for potential antimicrobial activities against pathogenic microorganisms. The comprehensive genome annotation process has facilitated the genetic characterization of MGMM8 and has solidified its potential as a biotechnological strain to address global anthropogenic predicaments.

Abstract
Exopolysaccharides produced by Weissella cibaria has attracted increasing attention owing to their biological activity. Here, a strain was isolated from the home-made fermented octopus, which was identified as W. cibaria FAFU821. In addition, the polysaccharide were isolated and purified by cellulose DE-52 column and Sephadex G-100 column, and named EPS821-1. In this work, the structure of EPS821-1 and its cryoprotective activity on Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum F2 were investigated in vitro. These results suggested that the EPS821-1 is a novel glucan, which mainly consists of α-(1 → 6) linkage with α-(1 → 4), α-(1 → 4,6) and α-(1 → 3,6) residue as branches. In addition, EPS821-1 existed the three-dimensional network structure and exhibited the excellent cryoprotective activities for B. longum subsp. longum F2, which was 2.75 folds higher than that of the controls. This study provided scientific evidence and insights for the application of EPS821-1 as cryoprotection in food field.

Abstract
Polysaccharides derived from microorganisms exhibit diverse structures and bioactivities, making them promising candidates for the treatment of various diseases. However, marine-derived polysaccharides and their activities are relatively little known. In this work, fifteen marine strains were isolated from surface sediments in the Northwest Pacific Ocean for screening of EPS production. Planococcus rifietoensis AP-5 produced a maximum yield of EPS at 4.80 g/L. The purified EPS (referred to as PPS) had a molecular weight of 51,062 Da and contained amino, hydroxyl, and carbonyl groups as its major functional groups. PPS primarily consisted of →3)-α-D-Galp-(1 → 4)-α-D-Manp-(1 → 2)-α-D-Manp-(1 → 4)-α-D-Manp-(1 → 4,6)-α-D-Glcp-(1 → 6)-β-D-Galp-(1→, with a branch consisting of T-β-D-Glcp-(1→. Additionally, surface morphology of PPS was hollow, porous, and sphere-like stack. PPS primarily contained C, N, and O elements, with a surface area of 33.76 m2/g, a pore volume of 0.13 cc/g, and a pore diameter of 1.69 nm, respectively. Based on the TG curve, the degradation temperature of PPS was measured to be 247 °C. Furthermore, PPS demonstrated immunomodulatory activity through dose-dependently upregulating the expression level of cytokines. It significantly enhanced the cytokine secretion at a concentration of 5 μg/mL. To sum up, this study offers valuable insights for screening marine polysaccharide-based immunomodulators.

Exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced in situ by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) during sourdough fermentation have the potential to replace hydrocolloids in gluten-free sourdoughs. This study investigated effects of an EPS-producing Weissella cibaria NC516.11 fermentation on chemical, rheological properties of sourdough and the quality of buckwheat bread. Results indicate that the buckwheat sourdough fermentation by W. cibaria NC516.11 had lower pH (4.47) and higher total titrable acidity (8.36 mL) compared with other groups, and the polysaccharide content reached 3.10 ± 0.16 g/kg. W. cibaria NC516.11 can significantly improve the rheological properties and viscoelastic properties of sourdough. Compared with control group, the baking loss of NC516.11 group bread decreased by 19.94%, specific volume increased by 26.03%, and showed good appearance and cross-sectional morphology. Scanning electron micrograph revealed an intact and less porous cell structure. Meanwhile, W. cibaria NC516.11 significantly improved the texture of the bread and reduced the hardness and moisture loss during storage.

Abstract
The current challenges in cancer treatment using conventional therapies have made the emergence of nanotechnology with more advancements. The exponential growth of nanoscience has drawn to develop nanomaterials (NMs) with therapeutic activities. NMs have enormous potential in cancer treatment by altering the drug toxicity profile. Nanoparticles (NPs) with enhanced surface characteristics can diffuse more easily inside tumor cells, thus delivering an optimal concentration of drugs at tumor site while reducing the toxicity. Cancer cells can be targeted with greater affinity by utilizing NMs with tumor specific constituents. Furthermore, it bypasses the bottlenecks of indiscriminate biodistribution of the antitumor agent and high administration dosage. Here, we focus on the recent advances on the use of various nanomaterials for cancer treatment, including targeting cancer cell surfaces, tumor microenvironment (TME), organelles, and their mechanism of action. The paradigm shift in cancer management is achieved through the implementation of anticancer drug delivery using nano routes.

Abstract
Diatoms are photoautotrophic microalgae classified under class Bacillariophyceae, engulfed by hard silicate frustules, which give mechanical support and protection from bacterial infections. They exude polysaccharides extracellularly that help them with their gliding motion (locomotion). However, the bioactivity of such compounds was least explored from freshwater diatoms. In the present study, a single species of pennate diatom identified as Nitzschia palea was isolated and molecularly characterized by 18S rRNA smaller subunit gene (partial) sequencing and submitted to GenBank NCBI and accession number retrieved as ON360983. Based on logarithmic growth curve analysis, the exponential phase was obtained from 3rd to 4th day of diatom culture. The exopolysaccharide was extracted by the hot-water extraction method, and characterized by FT-IR. The total yield of exopolysaccharide from Nitzschia palea was estimated as 1.56 mg in 100 mL of culture after 7 days of incubation. The estimated carbohydrate content was 51.35 µg/100 µL. The monosaccharide constituents were determined by acid hydrolysis of exopolysaccharide, silylation (derivatization), followed by GC-MS analysis and tabulated. The extracted exopolysaccharide was evaluated for its anti-cancer potential against the Human Adenocarcinoma lung cancer cell line (A549) and the estimated IC50 value was 62.64 µg/mL. Acridine orange staining assay and DNA fragmentation assay also confirmed the apoptotic activity of exopolysaccharide derived from the diatom Nitzschia palea.

Molecular Characterization and Biocompatibility of Exopolysaccharide Produced by Moderately Halophilic Bacterium Virgibacillus dokdonensis from the Saltern of Kumta Coast. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14193986. [PMID: 36235941 PMCID: PMC9570845 DOI: 10.3390/polym14193986] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2022] [Revised: 09/09/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The use of natural polysaccharides as biomaterials is gaining importance in tissue engineering due to their inherent biocompatibility. In this direction, the present study aims to explore the structure and biocompatibility of the EPS produced by Virgibacillus dokdonensis VITP14. This marine bacterium produces 17.3 g/L of EPS at 96 h of fermentation. The EPS was purified using ion exchange and gel permeation chromatographic methods. The porous web-like structure and elemental composition (C, O, Na, Mg, P, S) of the EPS were inferred from SEM and EDX analysis. AFM analysis revealed spike-like lumps with a surface roughness of 84.85 nm. The zeta potential value of −10 mV indicates the anionic nature of the EPS. Initial molecular characterization showed that the EPS is a heteropolysaccharide composed of glucose (25.8%), ribose (18.6%), fructose (31.5%), and xylose (24%), which are the monosaccharide units in the HPLC analysis. The FTIR spectrum indicates the presence of functional groups/bonds typical of EPSs (O-H, C-H, C-O-H, C-O, S=O, and P=O). The polymer has an average molecular weight of 555 kDa. Further, NMR analysis revealed the monomer composition, the existence of two α- and six β-glycosidic linkages, and the branched repeating unit as → 1)[α-D-Xylp-(1 → 2)-α-D-Glcp-(1 → 6)-β-D-Glcp-(1 → 5)]-β-D-Frup-(2 → 2)[β-D-Xylp-(1 → 4)]-β-D-Xylp-(1 → 6)-β-D-Fruf-(2 → 4)-β-D-Ribp-(1 →. The EPS is thermally stable till 251.4 °C. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the semicrystalline (54.2%) nature of the EPS. Further, the EPS exhibits significant water solubility (76.5%), water-holding capacity (266.8%), emulsifying index (66.8%), hemocompatibility (erythrocyte protection > 87%), and cytocompatibility (cell viability > 80% on RAW264.7 and keratinocyte HaCaT cells) at higher concentrations and prolongs coagulation time in APTT and PT tests. Our research unveils the significant biocompatibility of VITP14 EPS for synthesizing a variety of biomaterials.

Abstract
Although exopolysaccharide (EPS) has been applied to various fields, EPS for UVR-mediated oxidative stress repair still needs further exploration. In this study, a novel EPS was isolated from the fermentation medium of Bacillus sp. QDR3-1 and its yield was 4.8 g/L (pH 8.0, 12 % glucose, 30 °C and 6 % NaCl). The pure fraction (named EPS-M1) was purified by DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-100 column. EPS-M1 was a heteropolysaccharide composed of Man, Glc, Gal, and Fuc with a molecular weight of 33.8 kDa. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observed a rough surface and reticular structure of EPS-M1, and EPS-M1 formed spherical aggregates in aqueous solution observed in atomic force microscopy (AFM). Thermal analysis revealed that the degradation temperature of EPS-M1 was 306 °C. Moreover, methylation and NMR analysis determined that EPS-M1 was consisted of →3)-Manp-(1→, →2,6)-Manp-(1→, →4,6)-Glcp-(1→, →3)-Glcp-(1→, →4)-Galp-(1→, →4)-Fucp-(1→, and T-Manp-(1→. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity and the repair ability of UVR-mediated cell damage of EPS-M1 were studied with L929 cells. The results showed that EPS-M1 had good biocompatibility and it could mitigate UVR-mediated cell damage by regulating the levels of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and Caspase-3/7 activity. Overall, the structure analysis and the protective effects of EPS against L929 cells exposed to UVR provided an experimental basis for EPS in practical applications.

Abstract
This paper has approached the study of dairy wastewater treatment and the simultaneous biocompound production by Porphyridium purpureum under continuous light and under a day–night cycle. The main goals were to achieve a reduction in the lactose content of the cheese wastewater that was tested and, at the same time, to obtain added value from the produced compounds, so as to increase the economic value of the process. The results show that biomass production increases proportionally with the concentration of lactose for both of the illumination options. The lactose concentration in the waste stream was reduced over 90% in just 7 days. The exopolysaccharide concentration in the growth medium increased with lactose availability. For the samples that were under constant light stress, the concentration of phycobiliproteins was highest when there was small amounts of lactose in the medium. The content of pigments was higher in the case of the day–night cycle of illumination; these being affected by stress factors such as continuous light and high lactose concentration. The results that were obtained prove that dairy wastewaters that are rich in lactose can be used efficiently for the growth of Porphyridium purpureum, achieving an increase in the biomass concentration and a large reduction of the lactose from this waste stream while obtaining a microalgae biomass that is rich in valuable compounds.

Abstract
In the present work, a novel exopolysaccharide EPS-3791 was extracted and purified from a salt-tolerant yeast, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii. Structural analyses showed that EPS-3791 was composed of galactose, glucose and mannose in a molar ration of 1.00: 4.25: 13.30 with a molecular weight of 64.412 kDa. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy manifested the main functional groups, α- and β- configurations. Methylated analysis indicated T-Manp-(1→, →2)-Glcp-(1 → and → 2,6)-Manp-(1 → were the main linkages. 800 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy demonstrated the EPS-3791 structure of a novel main chain and branched chain. Atomic force microscope and scanning electron microscope revealed a homogeneous and uniform porous structure. In addition, EPS-3791 was proven to have cryoprotective and freeze-drying protective effects on Lactococcus lactis, and exhibited better protective performance than that of trelahose during freeze-drying of L. lactis, suggesting that EPS-3791 could be developed into cryoprotectant or lyoprotectant applied in food industry.

Abstract
Microalgal-bacterial system (MBS) is potential biotechnology in wastewater treatment because it can remedy defects of conventional processes (e.g., insufficient carbon source and imbalanced elements ratio). However, the mechanisms of nitrogen (N) transport and removal in MBS are still unclear. In this study, it was discovered that MBS was conducive to adsorb NH4+-N and NO3--N through electrical neutralization, while extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) could provide binding sites (e.g., -OH and -CH3) for enhancing N transport and removal. The microalgae-bacteria interaction could accelerate N transport and removal from aqueous solution to cell. More importantly, the microalgal starch biosynthetic metabolism exhibited demonstrating the energy production potential could be boosted via MBS. Overall, the NO3--N and NH4+-N removal efficiencies, and energy yield were 82.28%, 94.15%, and 86.81 kJ/L, respectively, which are better than other relevant studies. Altogether, it is meaningful for revealing the applicability of MBS for treating wastewater and producing energy.

Abstract
Bacterial exopolysaccharides are high molecular weight polysaccharides that are secreted by a wide range of bacteria, with diverse structures and easy preparation. Fucose, fucose-containing oligosaccharides (FCOs), and fucose-containing polysaccharides (FCPs) have important applications in the food and medicine fields, including applications in products for removing Helicobacter pylori and infant formula powder. Fucose-containing bacterial exopolysaccharide (FcEPS) is a prospective source of fucose, FCOs, and FCPs. This review systematically summarizes the common sources and applications of FCPs and FCOs and the bacterial strains capable of producing FcEPS reported in recent years. The repeated-unit structures, synthesis pathways, and factors affecting the production of FcEPS are reviewed, as well as the degradation methods of FcEPS for preparing FCOs. Finally, the bioactivities of FcEPS, including anti-oxidant, prebiotic, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-microbial activities, are discussed and may serve as a reference strategy for further applications of FcEPS in the functional food and medicine industries.

Abstract
A halotolerant, exopolysaccharide-producing bacterium isolated from the Salar de Uyuni salt flat in Bolivia was identified as Bacillus atrophaeus using next-generation sequencing. Comparisons indicate that the genome most likely (p-value: 0.0024) belongs to a subspecies previously not represented in the database. The growth of the bacterial strain and its ability to produce exopolysaccharides (EPS) in synthetic media with glucose or xylose as carbon sources, and in hydrolysates of quinoa stalks, was investigated. The strain grew well in all synthetic media, but the growth in glucose was better than that in xylose. Sugar consumption was better when initial concentrations were low. The growth was good in enzymatically produced cellulosic hydrolysates but was inhibited in hemicellulosic hydrolysates produced using hydrothermal pretreatment. The EPS yields were up to 0.064 g/g on initial glucose and 0.047 g/g on initial xylose, and was higher in media with relatively low sugar concentrations. The EPS was isolated and purified by a sequential procedure including centrifugation, cold ethanol precipitation, trichloroacetic acid treatment, dialysis, and freeze-drying. Glucose and mannose were the main sugars identified in hydrolyzed EPS. The EPS was characterized by size-exclusion chromatography, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, heteronuclear single-quantum coherence nuclear magnetic resonance (HSQC NMR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. No major differences were elucidated between EPS resulting from cultivations in glucose- or-xylose-based synthetic media, while some divergences with regard to molecular-weight averages and FTIR and HSQC NMR spectra were detected for EPS from hydrolysate-based media.

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
Microorganism was very sensitive to external temperature change, which also affected its normal metabolism and secretion. Low temperature exopolysaccharides (LT-EPS) and normal temperature exopolysaccharides (NT-EPS) secreted by Bacillus sp. ZT-1 mediated by temperature were studied in this paper. The total carbohydrate in the LT-EPS and NT-EPS were found to be 82.54 ± 2.56 % and 94.23 ± 1.59 % (w/w). The High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) revealed the mannose and galacturonic acid accounted for 45.52 and 23.49 % in LT-EPS, respectively. In like manner, mannose and galacturonic acid contained 43.99 and 25.24 % in NT-EPS. One-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) revealed the connection mode of sugar chains. NT-EPS exhibited higher viscosity, better emulsification properties and the larger molecular weight than LT-EPS. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that LT-EPS was sheet-like with sugar chain branches while NT-EPS was showed as network structure. Furthermore, the 2812 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment and located 739 biological pathways. Finally, transcriptome analysis revealed differences in gene expression of the pentose phosphate pathway of carbohydrate metabolism might be the main reason for this difference.

Characterization of Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) Obtained from Ligilactobacillus salivarius Strains and Investigation at the Prebiotic Potential as an Alternative to Plant Prebiotics at Poultry. Probiotics Antimicrob Proteins 2021; 14:49-59.

Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to reveal the potential of using exopolysaccharides (EPS) obtained from Ligilactobacillus salivarius as a prebiotic that regulates chicken intestinal microbiota. Characterization of EPS obtained from L. salivarius BIS312 (EPSBIS312) and BIS722 (EPSBIS722) strains was demonstrated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) analyses. It was determined that the molecular weight of both EPS is in the range of 104-106 Daltons, and there are 4 types of monomers in their structure. Anti-biofilm and anti-quorum sensing effects of EPSBIS312 and EPSBIS722 were determined. EPSBIS312 and EPSBIS722 showed a strong anti-biofilm effect on Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Staphylococcus aureus EB-1, and Escherichia coli ATCC 11229. The anti-quorum sensing study revealed that the EPSBIS722 had a higher effect than the EPSBIS312. The effect of different concentrations of EPS (2.5%, 5%, 10%) on lactobacilli growth stimulator (LGS) was evaluated. The highest LGS was promoted at 10% concentration while the lowest LGS was promoted at 2.5% concentration by EPSBIS722. In addition, adhesion abilities of EPSBIS312 and EPSBIS722 in HT-29 colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line were tested. EPSs significantly increased the ability to adhere to HT-29 cells. The characterized EPSs may be an alternative to plant prebiotics such as inulin at poultry.

Abstract
Two exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains, Liquorilactobacillus (L.) sp CUPV281 and Liquorilactobacillus (L.) mali CUPV271, were isolated from Spanish apple must. Each of the strains produced a dextran, with different branching degrees, to be incorporated into soy protein isolate (SPI) film-forming formulations. Films were prepared by compression molding, a more rapid processing method than solution casting and, thus, with a greater potential for scaling-up production. Thermal analysis showed that SPI and EPS start the degradation process at temperatures above 190 °C, confirming that the compression temperature selected (120 °C) was well below the corresponding degradation temperatures. Resulting films were transparent and homogeneous, as shown by UV-Vis spectroscopy and SEM, indicating the good compatibility between SPI and EPS. Furthermore, FTIR analysis showed that the interactions between SPI and EPS were physical interactions, probably by hydrogen bonding among the polar groups of SPI and EPS. Regarding antifungal/fungistatic activity, LAB strains used in this study showed an inhibitory effect on germination of fungal spores.
