[PMID: 38591339 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.17070] [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: 12/03/2023] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024]
Abstract
The simulated digestion and fermentation characteristics in vitro of exopolysaccharide (EPS) of Levilactobacillus brevis M-10 were studied to evaluate its postbiotic properties. The simulated digestion results showed that EPS could not be degraded in saliva but could be very slightly degraded in gastric juice and could be degraded in intestinal juice. The results of simulated fermentation demonstrated that EPS could lower the intestine pH and be utilized by gut microbes to produce short-chain fatty acids such as propionic acid and butyric acid. Meanwhile, EPS significantly raised the diversity of human gut microbiota, and the relative abundances of Phascolarctobacterium were significantly increased, whereas Fusobacterium and Morganella significantly decreased. In conclusion, EPS from L. brevis M-10 was a good postbiotic as inulin. This was the first report about EPS as the postbiotic of L. brevis M-10 screened from broomcorn millet sour porridge in northwestern Shanxi Province, China.

Abstract
Polysaccharides from Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum Cum Alumine (PPA) have various biological activities, but their properties after oral administration are not clear. In this study, the absorption, digestion and fermentation properties of PPA were studied using in vivo fluorescence tracking, in vitro simulated digestion and fecal fermentation experiments. The absorption experiment showed that fluorescence was only observed in the gastrointestinal system, indicating that PPA could not be absorbed. Simulated digestion results showed that there were no significant changes in the molecular weight, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectrum, monosaccharides and reducing sugar of PPA during the digestion process, showing that the overall structure of PPA was not damaged. However, the carbohydrate gel electrophoresis bands of PPA enzymatic hydrolysates after simulated digestion were significantly changed, indicating that simulated digestion might impact the configuration of PPA. In vitro fermentation showed that PPA could be degraded by microorganisms to produce short chain fatty acids, leading to a decrease in pH value. PPA can promote the proliferation of Bacteroideaceae, Megasphaera, Bacteroideaceae, and Bifidobacteriaceae, and inhibit the growth of Desulfobacteriota and Enterobacteriaceae. The results indicated that PPA could treat diseases by regulating gut microbiota, providing a scientific basis for the application and development of PPA.

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2024; 72:5222-5236.

Abstract
Huangshui polysaccharides (HSPs) have attracted extensive attention recently for their biological activity and physicochemical property. This research investigated the extraction, structural characterization, and prebiotic activity of three different HSPs (HSP40-0, HSP60-0, and HSP80-0) in vitro to reveal the scientific support for the high-value utilization of Huangshui. HSPs were heteropolysaccharide with diverse structures and surface morphologies. Comprehensive analysis was conducted through 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metabolite profiling techniques, and results showed that HSPs had different potentials to regulate the gut microbiota due to their different structures; for instance, both HSP40-0 and HSP80-0 could notably increase the relative abundance of Bacteroidota, whereas HSP60-0 could increase the relative abundance of Phascolarctobacterium. In addition, HSPs upregulated beneficial differential metabolites, especially short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Fermentation products containing these metabolites exhibited anti-inflammatory effects on LPS-treated Caco-2 cells. This study will provide reference for exploring the relationship between the natural polysaccharide structure and the prebiotic activity and widen the application of Huangshui.

Abstract
Coix seed polysaccharides had received increasing attention due to their diverse biological activities. In this study, a homogeneous polysaccharide (CSPW) was extracted and purified from coix seed. Furthermore, the saliva-gastrointestinal digestion and fecal fermentation behavior of CSPW were simulated in vitro. The results showed that CSPW was mainly composed of glucose. It cannot be degraded by the simulated salivary and intestinal digestive system, but can be degraded by the simulated gastric digestive system. After fermentation for 24 h, CSPW promoted the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), with acetic acid, propionic acid and n-butyric acid being the main metabolites. In addition, CSPW could significantly regulate the composition and microbial diversity of gut microbiota by increasing the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria, such as Limosilicactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Collinsella. Finally, further analysis of functional prediction revealed that amino acid metabolism, nucleotide metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism were the most important pathways for CSPW to promote health. In summary, our findings suggested that CSPW could potentially be used as a good source of prebiotics because it can be used by gut microbiota to produce SCFAs and regulate the gut microbiota.

Digestive characteristics of extracellular polysaccharide from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum T1 and its regulation of intestinal microbiota. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129112.

Abstract
This study assessed the potential prebiotic characteristics of the previously reported Lactiplantibacillus plantarum extracellular polysaccharide (EPS-T1) with immunological activity. EPS-T1 was a novel heteropolysaccharide composed of glucose and galactose (1.00:1.21), with a molecular weight of 1.41 × 106 Da. The monosaccharide composition, molecular weight, fourier transform infrared, and 1H NMR analysis showed that EPS-T1 was well tolerated in the simulated oral cavity, gastric fluid, and small intestinal fluid environments, and was not easily degraded. Meanwhile, EPS-T1 could effectively be used as a carbon source to promote the growth of beneficial Lactobacillus species (Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. Bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnose GG, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei and Lactobacillus reuteri). After 24 h of fecal fermentation, EPS-T1(5 mg/mL) effectively reduced the relative abundance of harmful bacteria such as the Escherichia-Shigella, Citrobacter, Fusobacterium, Parasutterella, and Lachnoclostridium. While, the level content of beneficial flora (Bacteroides, Blautia, Phascolarctobacterium, Bifidobacterium, Parabacteroides, and Subdoligranulum) were significantly increased. In addition, EPS-T1 was able to significantly promote the enrichment of short-chain fatty acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid. These results provide some basis for the functional application of EPS-T1 as a potential prebiotic.

Abstract
A novel polysaccharide, HSP80-2, with an average molecular weight of 13.8 kDa, was successfully isolated by the gradient ethanol precipitation (GEP) method from Huangshui (HS), the by-product of Chinese Baijiu. It was mainly composed of arabinose, xylose, and glucose with a molar ratio of 4.0:3.1:2.4, which was completely different from the previous reported HS polysaccharides (HSPs). Morphological observations indicated that HSP80-2 exhibited a smooth but uneven fragmented structure. Moreover, HSP80-2 exerted prebiotic activity evaluated by in vitro fermentation. Specifically, HSP80-2 was utilized by gut microbiota, and significantly regulated the composition and abundance of beneficial microbiota such as Phascolarctobacterium, Parabacteroides, and Bacteroides. Notably, KEGG pathway enrichment analysis illustrated that HSP80-2 enriched the pathways of amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism (Ko00520), galactose metabolism (ko00052), and the citrate cycle (TCA cycle) (ko00020). Meanwhile, the contents of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) mainly including acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid in the HSP80-2 group were remarkably increased, which was closely associated with the growth of Lachnoclostridium and Parabacteroides. These results showed that HSP80-2 might be used as a potential functional factor to promote human gut health, which further extended the high value utilization of HS.

Abstract
The gut microbiome plays an important role in the metabolism, nutrient absorption and immunocompetency of animals. The dynamics of the microbiota can be influenced by modulatory factors that involve nutrition, environment, health, diseases, etc. Few reports have been documented regarding the effects of different feeds on the fungi microbiome of Suffolk crossed with Tibetan sheep. A total of 30 Suffolk crossed with Tibetan sheep (ST sheep) were selected for the study and randomly divided into five equal groups (n = 6): AZ, BZ, CZ, DZ and EZ. Group AZ was fed with alfalfa and oat grass, whereas group BZ was fed with mixture of concentrated feed, alfalfa and oat grass. Groups CZ, DZ and EZ were fed with concentrated feed #1, #2 and #3, respectively. All experimental animals were fed twice a day for four months, and rectum samples were collected for microbiota analysis. Results revealed that 2,781,461 raw reads and 2,333,239 clean reads were achieved in the ST sheep. When compared with the sheep of groups AZ and BZ (164), the shared amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) between AZ and CZ (109), AZ (113) and DZ (118) as well as AZ along with EZ were fewer. Conspicuous different phyla (8) and genera (56) were examined and compared with free-range sheep in AZ. Genera including Xeromyces, Kazachstania, Cordyceps, Rhodotorula, Pichia, Spor, etc. were found higher in animals in the CZ, DZ and EZ groups. The results of this study provide new insights regarding the effects of different feeds on the fungi microbiome of sheep farmed on the plateau. We concluded that the differences in feed in Suffolk crossed with Tibetan sheep altered their gut microbiota.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical, structural and functional properties of soluble dietary fiber extracted from citrus peels (Citrus unshiu) by ultrasound-assisted alkaline extraction. Unpurified soluble dietary fiber (CSDF) was compared with purified soluble dietary fiber (PSDF) in terms of composition, molecular weight, physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity, and intestinal regulatory capacity. Results showed that the molecular weight of soluble dietary fiber was >15 kDa, which showed good shear thinning characteristics and belonged to non-Newtonian fluid. The soluble dietary fiber showed good thermal stability under 200 °C. The contents of total sugar, arabinose and sulfate in PSDF were higher than those in CSDF. At the same concentration, PSDF showed stronger free radical scavenging ability. In fermentation model experiments, PSDF promoted the production of propionic acid and increased the abundance of Bacteroides. These findings suggested that soluble dietary fiber extracted by the ultrasound-assisted alkaline extraction has good antioxidant capacity and promotes intestinal health. It has broad development space in the field of functional food ingredients.

Abstract
Potential effects of metabiotics (probiotics effector molecules or signaling factors), pharmabiotics (pro-functional metabolites produced by gut microbiota (GMB)) and postbiotics (multifunctional metabolites and structural compounds of food-grade microorganisms) on GMB have been rarely reviewed. These multifunctional components have several promising capabilities for prevention, alleviation and treatment of some diseases or disorders. Correlations between these essential biotics and GMB are also very interesting and important in human health and nutrition. Furthermore, these natural bioactives are involved in modulation of the immune function, control of metabolic dysbiosis and regulation of the signaling pathways. This review discusses the potential of meta/pharma/post-biotics as new classes of pharmaceutical agents and their effective mechanisms associated with GMB-host cell to cell communications with therapeutic benefits which are important in balance and the integrity of the host microbiome. In addition, cutting-edge findings about bioinformatics /metabolomics analyses related to GMB and these essential biotics are reviewed.

Abstract
Herein, the fermentation and digestion behavior of Volvariella volvacea polysaccharide (VVP) were examined through the in vitro simulation experiment. The results revealed that succeeding the simulated salivary gastrointestinal digestion, the molecular weight of VVP was reduced by only 8.9 %. In addition, the reducing sugar, uronic acid, monosaccharide composition and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy characteristics of VVP did not change significantly, which indicate that saliva-gastrointestinal could not digest VVP. However, 48 h of fecal fermentation of VVP dramatically reduced its molecular weight by 40.4 %. Furthermore, the molar ratios of the monosaccharide composition altered considerably due to the degradation of VVP by microorganisms and the metabolysis into different short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Meanwhile, the VVP also raised the proportion of Bacteroidetes to Firmicutes and promoted the proliferation of some beneficial bacteria including Bacteroides and Phascolarctobacterium, whereas it inhibited the growth of unfavorable bacteria such as Escherichia-shigella. Therefore, VVP has the potential to have a positive influence on health and hinder diseases by improving the intestinal microbial environment. These findings provide a theoretical foundation to further develop Volvariella volvacea as a healthy functional food.
