Abstract
The cell membrane, consisting of a phospholipid bilayer, is an important defense system of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) against adverse conditions. However, this membrane gets damaged during the process of spray drying of LAB into powder. In this study, two strains of Lactobacillus bulgaricus L9-7 and L4-2-12 with significantly different survival rates of about 22.49% and 0.43% after spray drying were explored at the cell membrane level. A total of 65 significantly different lipid species were screened from the cell membranes of two strains, with cardiolipin (CL) 15:1_22:6_24:0_28:0 being the crucial lipid species affecting membrane resistance. Finally, the KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that glycerophospholipid metabolism was the most predominant pathway, and eleven lipid species were annotated, including CL. Overall, this paper provides valuable insights into enhancing the heat tolerance of LAB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in plasma, playing crucial roles in regulating osmotic pressure and maintaining protein homeostasis. It is widely applied in the clinical treatment of various diseases. HSA can be purified from plasma or produced using recombinant DNA technology. Due to the improved efficiency and reduced costs, a growing body of research has focused on enhancing albumin production through bacterial strain overexpression. However, there have been few studies on the effect of albumin on the characteristics of the overexpressing-strain itself, particularly stress resistance. In this study, we utilized Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) AR113 as the expression host and successfully constructed the albumin overexpression strain AR113-pLLY01 through gene editing technology. The successful expression of albumin was achieved and subsequently compared with the wild-type strain AR113-pIB184. RESULTS The results demonstrated that the survival rate of AR113-pLLY01 was also significantly better than that of AR113-pIB184 after lyophilization. In addition, AR113-pLLY01 exhibited a significantly better protective effect than AR113-pIB184 at pH 3, indicating that albumin possesses a certain tolerance to acidic stress. At bile salt concentrations higher than 0.03%, both strains showed limited growth, but at a concentration of 0.02%, AR113-pLLY01 had a significant protective effect. CONCLUSION This study suggest that albumin can improve strain tolerance, which has significant implications for future applications. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Probiotics Antimicrob Proteins 2024:10.1007/s12602-024-10364-7. [PMID: 39367980 DOI: 10.1007/s12602-024-10364-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 09/09/2024] [Indexed: 10/07/2024]
Abstract
Bioactive substances can enhance host health by modulating biological reactions, but their absorption and utilization by the body are crucial for positive effects. Encapsulation of probiotics is rapidly advancing in food science, with new approaches such as 3D printing, spray-drying, microfluidics, and cryomilling. Co-encapsulation with bioactives presents a cost-effective and successful approach to delivering probiotic components to specific colon areas, improving viability and bioactivity. However, the exact method by which bioactive chemicals enhance probiotic survivability remains uncertain. Co-crystallization as an emerging encapsulation method improves the physical characteristics of active components. It transforms the structure of sucrose into uneven agglomerated crystals, creating a porous network to protect active ingredients. Likewise, electrohydrodynamic techniques are used to generate fibers with diverse properties, protecting bioactive compounds from harsh circumstances at ambient temperature. Electrohydrodynamic procedures are highly adaptable, uncomplicated, and easily expandable, resulting in enhanced product quality and functionality across various food domains. Furthermore, food byproducts offer nutritional benefits and technical potential, aligning with circular economy principles to minimize environmental impact and promote economic growth. Hence, industrialized nations can capitalize on the growing demand for functional foods by incorporating these developments into their traditional cuisine and partnering with businesses to enhance manufacturing and production processes.

Abstract
Probiotics offer health advantages when consumed in adequate quantities. As ongoing research identifies promising new strains, ensuring their viability and functionality through simple preservation methods is vital for success within the probiotic industry. This study employed a factorial design to investigate the combined effects of four cryoprotectants [C1: MRS broth + 14 % (w/v) glycerol, C2: Aqueous solution containing 4 % (w/v) trehalose, 6 % (w/v) skimmed milk, and 4 % (w/v) sodium glutamate, C3: Aqueous solution containing 10 % (w/v) skimmed milk and 4 % (w/v) sodium glutamate, C4: Aqueous solution containing 4 % (w/v) sucrose, 6 % (w/v) skimmed milk, and 4 % (w/v) sodium glutamate] and three methods of preservation (P1: -86 °C freezing, P2: -196 °C liquid nitrogen freezing, and P3: storing at 4 °C after lyophilization) on the cell viability of three potentially probiotic strains over 12 months. Pediococcus sp P15 and Weissella cibaria ml6 had the highest viability under treatments C3 and C2, after 12 months of storage, respectively. Meanwhile, Lactococcus lactis ml3 demonstrated the highest viability in both treatments C2 and C4 (P ≤ 0.05). According to the results freezing, either P1 or P2, is the most effective preservation method for P. sp P15 and W. cibaria ml6. Meanwhile, L. lactis ml3 showed the highest colony count under treatment (P1) after 12 months of storage (P ≤ 0.05). Among the tested conditions, P. sp P15 and L. lactis ml3 exhibited the highest viability and bile salt resistance when stored under P1C1. For W. cibaria ml6, the optimal storage condition was P2C2 (frozen in liquid nitrogen with cryoprotectant C2).

Abstract
Over recent years, the scientific community has acknowledged the crucial role of certain microbial strains inhabiting the intestinal ecosystem in promoting human health, and participating in various beneficial functions for the host. These microorganisms are now referred to as next-generation probiotics and are currently considered as biotherapeutic products and food or nutraceutical supplements. However, the majority of next-generation probiotic candidates pose nutritional demands and exhibit high sensitivity towards aerobic conditions, leading to numerous technological hurdles in large-scale production. This underscores the need for the development of suitable delivery systems capable of enhancing the viability and functionality of these probiotic strains. Currently, potential candidates for next generation probiotics (NGP) are being sought among gut bacteria linked to health, which include strains from the genera Bacteroids, Faecalibacterium, Akkermansia and Clostridium. In contrast to Lactobacillus spp. and Bifidobacterium spp., NGP, particularly Bacteroids spp. and Clostridium spp., appear to exhibit greater ambiguity regarding their potential to induce infectious diseases. The present review provides a comprehensive overview of NGPs in terms of their health beneficial effects, regulation framework and risk assessment targeting relevant criteria for commercialization in food and pharmaceutical markets.

Abstract
Cancer presents a formidable challenge in modern medicine due to the intratumoral heterogeneity and the dynamic microenvironmental niche. Natural or genetically engineered oncolytic bacteria have always been hailed by scientists for their intrinsic tumor-targeting and oncolytic capacities. However, the immunogenicity and low toxicity inevitably constrain their application in clinical practice. When nanomaterials, characterized by distinctive physicochemical properties, are integrated with oncolytic bacteria, they achieve mutually complementary advantages and construct efficient and safe nanobiohybrids. In this review, we initially analyze the merits and drawbacks of conventional tumor therapeutic approaches, followed by a detailed examination of the precise oncolysis mechanisms employed by oncolytic bacteria. Subsequently, we focus on harnessing nanomaterial-assisted oncolytic bacteria (NAOB) to augment the effectiveness of tumor therapy and utilizing them as nanotheranostic agents for imaging-guided tumor treatment. Finally, by summarizing and analyzing the current deficiencies of NAOB, this review provides some innovative directions for developing nanobiohybrids, intending to infuse novel research concepts into the realm of solid tumor therapy.

Abstract
Tolerance to human gastrointestinal stressors is crucial for probiotics to exhibit their health benefits; however, there is no standardised method for screening their stress tolerance. In this study, we proposed a novel method for screening probiotic candidates tolerant to human gastrointestinal stress-gastrointestinal tolerance assay and culture (GTA-C) method-using black polyethylene terephthalate (PET) non-woven fabric as a scaffold to modify the specialized cellulose film (SCF) method. The modified SCF method showed excellent pH-based diffusion of medium components, had minimal effect on the growth of Escherichia coli K12, and improved the visibility of the colonies. Analysis of kimchi samples cultured using the SCF and modified SCF methods revealed that the modified method diversified the cultured bacteria. GTA in a simulated human fasting state using the modified SCF method showed that acid stress significantly affected the growth of four bacteria used as probiotics and that tolerance to acid stress may be species-dependent. Screening of probiotics in kimchi samples resulted in the identification of lactic acid bacteria tolerant to human gastrointestinal stress during fasting. Our results indicate that the modified SCF method (GTA-C method) is useful for screening probiotics resistant to the gastrointestinal environment during fasting.

Abstract
Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum are two lactic acid bacteria (LAB) widely used in the food industry. The objective of this work was to assess the resistance of these bacteria to freeze- and spray-drying and study the mechanisms involved in their loss of activity. The culturability and acidifying activity were measured to determine the specific acidifying activity, while membrane integrity was studied by flow cytometry. The glass transitions temperature and the water activity of the dried bacterial suspensions were also determined. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) micro-spectroscopy was used to study the biochemical composition of cells in an aqueous environment. All experiments were performed after freezing, drying and storage at 4, 23 and 37 °C. The results showed that Lb. bulgaricus CFL1 was sensitive to osmotic, mechanical, and thermal stresses, while Lpb. plantarum WCFS1 tolerated better the first two types of stress but was more sensitive to thermal stress. Moreover, FTIR results suggested that the sensitivity of Lb. bulgaricus CFL1 to freeze-drying could be attributed to membrane and cell wall degradation, whereas changes in nucleic acids and proteins would be responsible of heat inactivation of both strains associated with spray-drying. According to the activation energy values (47-85 kJ/mol), the functionality loss during storage is a chemically limited reaction. Still, the physical properties of the glassy matrix played a fundamental role in the rates of loss of activity and showed that a glass transition temperature 40 °C above the storage temperature is needed to reach good preservation during storage. KEY POINTS: • Specific FTIR bands are proposed as markers of osmotic, mechanic and thermal stress • Lb. bulgaricus CFL1 was sensitive to all three stresses, Lpb. plantarum WCFS1 to thermal stress only • Activation energy revealed chemically limited reactions ruled the activity loss in storage.

Abstract
In recent years, more and more scientific community, food producers, and food industry show increased interest in functional foods containing probiotics, which is a big challenge. The consumption of probiotics in the context of a balanced diet through the consumption of functional foods or through the intake of pharmaceutical preparations has proven to contribute to the improvement of human health, even contributing to the prevention of diseases. In order for probiotics to be considered suitable for consumption, they must contain a minimum concentration of viable cells, namely, at least 107 colony forming units of beneficial microbes per gram. Ensuring the viability of bacterial cells until the moment of consumption is the overriding priority of functional probiotic food manufacturers. Probiotic bacteria are subject to stress conditions not only during food manufacturing but also during gastrointestinal passage, which limit or even compromise their functionality. This paper first examines all the stressful conditions faced by probiotic cells in their production stages and related to the conditions present in the bioreactor fermentation and drying processes as well as factors related to the food matrix and storage. The stress situations faced by probiotic microorganisms during the gastrointestinal transit especially during stomach and intestinal residence are also analyzed. In order to understand the adaptation mechanisms of probiotic bacteria to gastrointestinal stress, intrinsic and adaptive mechanisms identified in probiotic strains in response to acid stress and to bile and bile acid stress are analyzed. In addition, improvement strategies for multiple stress tolerance of lactic acid bacteria through directions dealing with stress, accumulation of metabolites, use of protectants, and regulation of technological parameters are examined. Finally, the definition of postbiotics, inanimate microorganisms and/or their components conferring health benefits, is also introduced. Postbiotics include cell lysates, enzymes, and cell wall fragments derived from probiotic bacteria and may represent an alternative to the use of probiotics, when they do not tolerate stressful conditions.

Abstract
Pullulan was used as the wall material for microencapsulation of L. plantarum CRD7 by spray drying, while isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMO) was used as prebiotic. Also, the effect of different thermal protectants on survival rate during microencapsulation was evaluated. Taguchi orthogonal array design showed that pullulan at 14 % concentration, IMO at 30 % concentration and whey protein isolate at 20 % rate were the optimized wall material, prebiotic and thermal protectant, respectively for microencapsulation of L. plantarum. FESEM images revealed that the spray-dried encapsulates were fibrous similar to those produce by electrospinning, while fluorescence microscopy ascertained that most of the probiotic cells were alive and intact after microencapsulation. The adsorption-desorption isotherm was of Type II and the encapsulate had specific surface area of 1.92 m2/g and mean pore diameter of 15.12 nm. The typical amide II and III bands of the bacterial proteins were absent in the FTIR spectra, suggestive of adequate encapsulation. DSC thermogram showed shifting of melting peaks to wider temperature range due to interactions between the probiotic and wall materials. IMO at 30 % (w/w) along with WPI at 20 % concentration provided the highest storage stability and the lowest rate of cell death of L. plantarum after microencapsulation. Acid and bile salt tolerance results confirmed that microencapsulated L. plantarum could sustain the harsh GI conditions with >7.5 log CFU/g viability. After microencapsulation, L. plantarum also possessed the ability to ferment milk into curd with pH of 4.62.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 271:132461. [PMID: 38777024 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132461] [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: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
In this study, a novel one-step coaxial electrospinning process is employed to fabricate shell-core structure fibers choosing Chlorella pyrenoidosa proteins (CP) as the core material. These nanofibers, serving as the wall material for probiotic encapsulation, aimed to enhance the stability and antioxidant activity of probiotics in food processing, storage, and gastrointestinal environments under sensitive conditions. Morphological analysis was used to explore the beads-on-a-string morphology and core-shell structure of the electrospun fibers. Probiotics were successfully encapsulated within the fibers (7.97 log CFU/g), exhibiting a well-oriented structure along the distributed fibers. Compared to free probiotics and uniaxial fibers loaded with probiotics, encapsulation within microalgae proteins/alginate core-shell structure nanofibers significantly enhanced the probiotic cells' tolerance to simulated gastrointestinal conditions (p < 0.05). Thermal analysis indicated that microalgae proteins/alginate core-shell structure nanofibers displayed superior thermal stability compared to uniaxial fibers. The introduction of CP resulted in a 50 % increase in the antioxidant capacity of probiotics-loaded microalgae proteins/alginate nanofibers compared to uniaxial alginate nanofibers, with minimal loss of viability (0.8 log CFU/g) after 28 days of storage at 4 °C. In summary, this dual-layer carrier holds immense potential in probiotic encapsulation and enhancing their resistance to harsh conditions.

Abstract
Adequate intake of live probiotics is beneficial to human health and wellbeing because they can help treat or prevent a variety of health conditions. However, the viability of probiotics is reduced by the harsh environments they experience during passage through the human gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Consequently, the oral delivery of viable probiotics is a significant challenge. Probiotic encapsulation provides a potential solution to this problem. However, the production methods used to create conventional encapsulation technologies often damage probiotics. Moreover, the delivery systems produced often do not have the required physicochemical attributes or robustness for food applications. Single-cell encapsulation is based on forming a protective coating around a single probiotic cell. These coatings may be biofilms or biopolymer layers designed to protect the probiotic from the harsh gastrointestinal environment, enhance their colonization, and introduce additional beneficial functions. This article reviews the factors affecting the oral delivery of probiotics, analyses the shortcomings of existing encapsulation technologies, and highlights the potential advantages of single-cell encapsulation. It also reviews the various approaches available for single-cell encapsulation of probiotics, including their implementation and the characteristics of the delivery systems they produce. In addition, the mechanisms by which single-cell encapsulation can improve the oral bioavailability and health benefits of probiotics are described. Moreover, the benefits, limitations, and safety issues of probiotic single-cell encapsulation technology for applications in food and beverages are analyzed. Finally, future directions and potential challenges to the widespread adoption of single-cell encapsulation of probiotics are highlighted.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 264:130323.

Abstract
Clubroot, caused by the obligate parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae, is one of the most important diseases of brassicas. The antagonistic bacterium Paenibacillus polymyxa ZF129 can suppress clubroot while its effectiveness is often unstable. To control clubroot more effectively, the macrobeads for controlled release of ZF129 were prepared using microencapsulation technology. Macrobeads with various ratios of chitosan (2 % w/w): carrageenan (0.3 % w/v) were prepared by an ionotropic gelation method and the bacteria ZF129 was loaded into macrobeads. The 1:1 chitosan: carrageenan showed the maximum swelling ratio (634 %), and the maximum survival rate (61.52 ± 1.12 %) after freeze-drying. Fourier transform infrared revealed the electrostatic interactions between chitosan and carrageenan. The macrobeads can efficiently release ZF129 strains into phosphate buffer solution and reach equilibrium in 48 h. The maximum number of bacteria cells to be released in the soil was observed after 25-30 days. The control efficacy of ZF129 macrobeads (chitosan: carrageenan, 1:1) and ZF129 culture against clubroot disease was 76.33 ± 3.65 % and 59.76 ± 4.43 % in greenhouse experiments, respectively and the control efficacy was calculated as 60.74 ± 5.00 % for ZF129 macrobeads and 40.94 ± 4.05 % for ZF129 culture under field experiments, respectively. The ZF129 macrobeads had significant growth-promoting effects on pak choi and Chinese cabbage. The encapsulation method described in this study is a prudent approach toward efficient biopesticides utilization with reduced environmental implications.

Abstract
Apple (Malus domestica Borkh) is one of the most consumed and nutritious fruits. Iran is one of the main producers of the apple in the world. Diplodia bulgarica is the major causal agent of apple tree decline in Iran. Biological control is a nature-friendly approach to plant disease management. Trichoderma zelobreve was isolated from apple trees infected with Diplodia bulgarica in West Azarbaijan province of Iran. The results showed that T. zelobreve strongly inhibited the colony growth of D. bulgarica. In vivo assay on detached branches of apple tree cv. Golden Delicious using T. zelobreve mycelial plug showed that canker length/stem length (CL/SL) and canker perimeter/stem perimeter (CP/SP) indices decreased by 76 and 69%, respectively, 21 days after inoculation. Additionally, wettable powder formulation (WPF) containing the antagonistic fungus "T. zelobreve" decreased CL and CP/SP by 75 and 67%, respectively, 6 months after inoculation. Moreover, canker progress curves and the area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) supported these findings. The growth temperatures of the antagonist and pathogen were similar, indicating the adaptation of T. zelobreve for biocontrol of apple canker caused by D. bulgarica. The results also showed that T. zelobreve-based WPF stored at 25 °C assure excellent shelf life at least 4 months, allowing the bioproduct to be stored at room temperature, which is a great advantage and cost-effective option.

Abstract
Meat and meat products are prone to the microbial and chemical spoilage, due to the high nutritional content. This study investigated the effect of polylactic acid (PLA) films incorporated with ajwain essential oil (AEO) on microbial (total viable count [TVC], psychrotrophic bacterial count [PTC], Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas spp., yeast and mold (Y&M), and also Bacillus coagulans [BCG]), chemical (pH, peroxide value [PV], thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance [TBARS], and TVN values), and sensorial properties of beef patties, as well as survivability of BCG during refrigerated storage. Results showed that all microbial counts of samples were significantly increased, except BCG, during storage but the lowest TVC of samples was achieved in samples wrapped with PLA-1% AEO (8 log colony forming units per gram [CFU/g]) at 12th of storage, which is significantly lower than control treatments (10.66 log CFU/g). The best results in all treatments are those wrapped by PLA-1% AEO in all evaluated characteristics. At the final day of storage, PTC (8.82 log CFU/g), Enterobacteriaceae (5.05 log CFU/g), Pseudomonas spp. (9.08 log CFU/g), Y&M (4.69 log CFU/g), and also pH (4.5), PV (5.12 meq/kg), TBARS (2.92 MDA/kg), and TVN (14.43 mgN/100 g) values of PLA-1% AEO treatments were significantly lower than control samples. AEO-PLA films reduce the survival of BCG in raw patties, which reached 6.19 log CFU/g in PLA-1% AEO treatments, although increasing the concentration of AEO in packaging PLA films led to the maintenance of BCG viability during the cooking process by increasing the AEO in PLA films. Overall, results showed shelf life of beef patties is extended 3 days more (150%) by wrapping with PLA films incorporated with 1% AEO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the project was to develop and characterise powders containing a probiotic (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum [Lpb. plantarum], Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, or Lactobacillus acidophilus) to be administered to the lung for the containment of pathogen growth in patients with lung infections. METHODS The optimised spray drying process for the powder manufacturing was able to preserve viability of the bacteria, which decreased of only one log unit and was maintained up to 30 days. RESULTS Probiotic powders showed a high respirability (42%-50% of particles had a size < 5 µm) suitable for lung deposition and were proven safe on A549 and Calu-3 cells up to a concentration of 107 colony-forming units/mL. The Lpb. plantarum adhesion to both cell lines tested was at least 10%. Surprisingly, Lpb. plantarum powder was bactericidal at a concentration of 106 colony-forming units/mL on P. aeruginosa, whereas the other two strains were bacteriostatic. CONCLUSION This work represents a promising starting point to consider a probiotic inhalation powder a value in keeping the growth of pathogenic microflora in check during the antibiotic inhalation therapy suspension in cystic fibrosis treatment regimen. This approach could also be advantageous for interfering competitively with pathogenic bacteria and promoting the restoration of the healthy microbiota.

Abstract
Lactobacillus plantarum is a kind of probiotic that benefits the host by regulating the gut microbiota, but it is easily damaged when passing through the gastrointestinal tract, hindering its ability to reach the destination and reducing its utilization value. Encapsulation is a promising strategy for solving this problem. In this study, transglutaminase (TGase)-crosslinked gelatin (GE)/sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) hydrogels were used to encapsulate L. plantarum. The effects of TGase concentration and drying method on the physiochemical properties of the hydrogels were determined. The results showed that at a TGase concentration of 9 U/gGE, the hardness, chewiness, energy storage modulus, and apparent viscosity of the hydrogel encapsulation system were maximized. This concentration produced more high-energy isopeptide bonds, strengthening the interactions between molecules, forming a more stable three-dimensional network structure. The survival rate under the simulated gastrointestinal conditions and storage stability of L. plantarum were improved at this concentration. The thermal stability of the encapsulation system dried via microwave vacuum freeze drying (MFD) was slightly higher than that when dried via freeze drying (FD). The gel structure was more stable, and the activity of L. plantarum decreased more slowly during the storage period when dried using MFD. This research provides a theoretical basis for the development of encapsulation technology of probiotics.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Plant protection products are essential for ensuring food production, but their use poses a threat to human and environmental health, and their efficacy is decreasing due to the acquisition of resistance by pathogens. Stricter regulations and consumer demand for cleaner produce are driving the search for safer and more sustainable alternatives. Microbial biocontrol agents, such as microorganisms with antifungal activity, have emerged as a promising alternative management strategy, but their commercial use has been limited by poor establishment and spread on crops. This study presents a novel system to overcome these challenges. The biocontrol agent Lactiplantibacillus plantarum AMBP214 was spray-dried and successfully dispersed to strawberry flowers via bumblebees. This is the first report of combining spray-dried, non-spore-forming bacteria with pollinator-dispersal, which scored better than the state-of-the-art in terms of dispersal to the plant (CFU/flower), and resuscitation of the biocontrol agent. Therefore, this new entomovectoring system holds great promise for the use of biocontrol agents for disease management in agriculture.

Abstract
The symbiosis of probiotic bacteria with humans has rendered various health benefits while providing nutrition and a suitable environment for their survival. However, the probiotics must survive unfavorable gut conditions to exert beneficial effects. The intrinsic resistance of probiotics to survive harsh conditions results from a myriad of proteins. Interaction of microbial proteins with the host is indispensable for modulating the gut microbiome, such as interaction with cell receptors and protective action against pathogens. The complex interplay of proteins should be unraveled by utilizing metaproteomic strategies. The contribution of probiotics to health is now widely accepted. However, due to the inconsistency of generalized probiotics, contemporary research toward precision probiotics has gained momentum for customized treatment. This review explores the application of metaproteomics and AI/ML algorithms in resolving multiomics data analysis and in silico prediction of microbial features for screening specific beneficial probiotic organisms. Implementing these integrative strategies could augment the potential of precision probiotics for personalized healthcare.

Abstract
Previously, we have shown that thin-film freeze-drying can be applied to prepare dry powders of bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus. Herein, we tested the viability of L. acidophilus in thin-film freeze-dried powders (TFF powders) filled in delayed-release vegetarian capsules in a simulated gastric fluid (SGF) consisting of 0.1N hydrochloric acid and sodium chloride. Initially, we determined the water removal rate from frozen thin films on relatively larger scales (i.e., 10-750 g). We then prepared and characterized two TFF powders of L. acidophilus with either sucrose and maltodextrin or sucrose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMC-AS), a pH-sensitive polymer, as excipients and evaluated the viability of the bacteria after the TFF powders were filled in delayed-release vegetarian capsules and the capsules were incubated in the SGF for 30 min. On 10-750 g scales and at the settings specified, water removal from frozen thin films was faster than from slow shelf-frozen bulk solids. When the L. acidophilus in sucrose and HPMC-AS TFF powder was filled into a delayed-release capsule that was placed into another delayed-release capsule, the bacterial viability reduction after incubation in the SGF can be minimized to within 1 log in colony forming unit (CFU). However, for the L. acidophilus in sucrose and maltodextrin TFF powder, even in the capsule-in-capsule dosage form, bacterial CFU reduction was > 2 logs. TFF powders of live microorganisms containing an acid-resistant material in capsule-in-capsule delayed-release vegetarian capsules have the potential for oral delivery of those microorganisms.

Abstract
Ligilactobacillus salivarius is a lactic acid bacterium exhibiting several health benefits. However, it is sensitive to freeze-drying and storage in the dried state, thus limiting its commercial exploitation. Our objective was to identify markers of cell resistance by applying multiscale characterization to L. salivarius CECT5713 cell populations exhibiting different resistance to freeze-dried storage. Cells were produced under two different sets of production conditions differing in the culture parameters (temperature, neutralizing solution, and harvesting time) and the protective formulation composition. The culturability, membrane integrity, and cell biochemical composition assessed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) micro-spectroscopy were evaluated after freezing, freeze-drying, and subsequent storage at 37 °C. Membrane properties (fatty acid composition, membrane fluidity, and phospholipid organization), as well as matrix physical properties (glass transition temperature and water activity), were determined. The most resistant cells to freeze-dried storage exhibited the highest cyclic fatty acid content and the most rigid membrane. Freeze-drying and storage induced damage to membrane integrity, proteins, nucleic acids, and constituents of the peptidoglycan cell wall. From the FTIR spectra analysis, we propose the minimization of the variations of the 1058 and 1714 cm-1 vibration bands (that arise mainly from symmetric C-O-C stretching and CO stretching, respectively) induced by the freeze-drying process as a marker of storage stability. We confirmed that a matrix with a glass transition temperature at least 50 °C higher than the storage temperature is crucial for L. salivarius CECT5713 storage stability. In addition, this work explored promising FTIR methods for a better understanding of the protection mechanisms involved.

Abstract
Spray drying (SD) is extensively used to encapsulate lactic acid bacteria in large-scale industrial applications; however, bacteria combat several harms that reduce their viability. In this study, a novel technique called electrostatic spray drying (ESD) was used to explore the benefits and disadvantages of using electrostatic charge and lower temperatures in the system. Freeze drying (FD) was used as a reference. The effect of different encapsulation agents, like maltodextrin, arabic gum, and skim milk, on the viability of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) was investigated. The initial cell concentration, particle size distribution, aspect ratio, sphericity, scanning-electron-microscopy images, moisture content, water activity, glass transition, rehydration abilities, and survival during storage were compared. Skim milk was proven to be the best protectant for LGG, regardless of the drying process or storage time. A huge reduction in cell numbers (4.49 ± 0.06 log CFU/g) was observed with maltodextrin using SD; meanwhile, it was protected with minimum loss (8.64 ± 0.62 log CFU/g) with ESD. In general, ESD preserved more LGG cells during processing compared to SD, and provided better stability than FD and SD during storage, regardless of the applied voltage. The ESD product analysis demonstrated an efficient LGG preservation, close to FD; therefore, ESD presented to be a promising and scalable substitute for SD and FD.

Abstract
Oral administration of probiotics is a promising method to alleviate inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). However, gastrointestinal environmental sensitivity and inferior intestinal colonization of probiotics hinder the alleviation effect. Here, we developed a simple yet effective modified prebiotic-based "shield" (Fe-TA@mGN) composed of an Fe3+-tannic acid cross-linking network and carboxymethylated β-glucan for arming Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN@Fe-TA@mGN). The Fe-TA@mGN "shield" not only acted as a dynamic barrier to enhance the gastrointestinal stress resistance ability of EcN but also aided the intestinal colonization of EcN as well as synergized with EcN for the alleviation of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induced colitis. More specifically, with the protection of the Fe-TA@mGN "shield", the survival rate of armed EcN could be up to ∼1720 times higher than that of bare EcN after exposure to simulated gastric fluid. Excitingly, the intestinal retention rate of EcN@Fe-TA@mGN was as high as 47.54 ± 6.06% at 16 h post-administration, while almost all bare EcNs were excreted out at 8 h post-administration. With all of the aforementioned attributes, EcN@Fe-TA@mGN efficiently alleviated colitis, verified by the repair of the intestinal barrier and the attenuation of inflammation. Moreover, for EcN@Fe-TA@mGN, mGN synergized with EcN to positively modulate gut microbiota and promote the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs, especially for butyric acid, a primary source for maintaining intestinal health), both of which would further advance the alleviation of colitis. We envision that the strategy developed here will inspire the exploitation of various prebiotics to arm probiotics for the effective alleviation of IBD.

Abstract
Adhesion is one of the main factors responsible for the probiotic properties of bacteria in the human gut. Membrane proteins affected by cellular damage are one of the key aspects determining adhesion. Fluid-bed-dried preparations containing probiotic bacteria were analyzed in terms of their stability (temperature of glass transition) and shelf life in different conditions (modified atmosphere, refrigeration). Imaging flow cytometry was utilized to determine four subpopulations of cells based on their physiological and morphological properties. Lastly, adhesion was measured in bacteria cultured in optimal conditions and treated with heat shock. The results show that the subpopulations with no or low levels of cell membrane damage exhibit the ability to adhere to Caco-2 cells. The temperature of protein denaturation in bacteria was recorded as being between 65 °C and 70 °C. The highest glass transition temperature (Tg) value for hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (used as a coating substance) was measured at 152.6 °C. Drying and coating can be utilized as a sufficient treatment, allowing a long shelf-life (up to 12 months). It is, however, worth noting that technological processing, especially with high temperatures, may decrease the probiotic value of the preparation by damaging the bacterial cells.

Abstract
Probiotic microorganisms provide health benefits to the patient when administered in a viable form and in sufficient doses. To ensure this, dry dosage forms are preferred, with tablets in particular being favored due to several advantages. However, the microorganisms must first be dried as gently as possible. Here, the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae was dried by spray drying. Various additives were tested for their ability to improve yeast cell survival during drying. In addition, the influence of various process parameters such as inlet temperature, outlet temperature, spray rate, spray pressure and nozzle diameter was investigated. It was possible to dry the yeast cells in such a way that a substantial proportion of living microorganisms was recovered after reconstitution. Systematic variation of formulation and process parameters showed that the use of protective additives is essential and that the outlet temperature determines the survival rate. The subsequent compression of the spray-dried yeast reduced viability and survival could hardly be improved by the addition of excipients, but the tabletability of spray-dried yeast protectant particles was quite good. For the first time, loss of viability during compaction of spray-dried microorganisms was correlated with the specific densification, allowing a deeper understanding of the mechanism of cell inactivation during tableting.

Abstract
Probiotics have demonstrated oral health benefits by influencing the microbiome and the host. Although promising, their current use is potentially constrained by several restrictions. One such limiting factor lies in the prevailing preparation of a probiotic product. To commercialize the probiotic, a shelf stable product is achieved by temporarily inactivating the live probiotic through drying or freeze drying. Even though a lyophilized probiotic can be kept dormant for an extended period of time, their viability can be severely compromised, making their designation as probiotics questionable. Additionally, does the application of an inactive probiotic directly into the oral cavity make sense? While the dormancy may allow for survival on its way towards the gut, does it affect their capacity for oral colonisation? To evaluate this, 21 probiotic product for oral health were analysed for the number of viable (probiotic), culturable (CFU) and dead (postbiotic) cells, to verify whether the commercial products indeed contain what they proclaim. After isolating and uniformly lyophilizing three common probiotic species in a simple yet effective lyoprotective medium, the adhesion to saliva covered hydroxyapatite discs of lyophilized probiotics was compared to fresh or reactivated lyophilized probiotics. Unfortunately, many of the examined products failed to contain the claimed amounts of viable cells, but also the strains used were inadequately characterized and lacked clinical evidence for that unknown strain, questioning their label of a 'probiotic'. Additionally, lyophilized probiotics demonstrated low adhesive capacity compared to their counterparts, prompting the question of why fresh or reactivated probiotics are not currently used.

Abstract
As tablets are convenient to administer to patients, ensure safe dosing and allow cost-effective production on a large scale, they are the favored dosage form for numerous active pharmaceutical ingredients but also for the administration of viable probiotic microorganisms. Granules with viable yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) formed by fluidized bed granulation with dicalcium phosphate (DCP), lactose (LAC) or microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) as carrier materials were tableted using a compaction simulator. Besides the compression stress, the compression speed was systematically studied by varying consolidation time and dwell time. The microbial survival as well as physical properties of the tablets, e.g., porosity and tensile strength, were determined. Higher compression stresses result in lower porosities. While on the one hand this has a detrimental effect on microbial survival (due to increased pressure and shear stress during particle rearrangement / densification), on the other hand it results in higher tensile strengths. At the same compression stress, a prolonged dwell time resulted in lower porosity and thus in lower survival rates but higher tensile strength. Against that, consolidation time showed no significant influence on the considered tablet quality attributes. Since changes of the tensile strength related survival rate were negligible (due to opposite but balancing dependence on porosity), high production speeds could be used for tableting of these granules without additional loss of viability, as long as tablets with the same tensile strength are produced.

[PMID: 37044325 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Revised: 03/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023]
Abstract
In the present farming era, rhizobacteria as beneficial biofertilizers can decrease the negative effects of Zinc (Zn) agrochemicals. However, their commercial viability and utility are constrained by their instability under field conditions. Thus, to enhance their stability, microbial formulations are considered, which will not only offer an appropriate microenvironment, and protection but also ensure a high rate of rhizospheric-colonization. The goal of this study was to create a new formulation for the Zn-solubilizing bacteria E. ludwigii-PS10. The studied formulation was prepared using the extrusion technique, wherein a composite solution containing alginate, starch, zinc oxide, and poultry waste was uniformly mixed with the bacterial strain PS10 to develop low-cost, eco-friendly, and slow-release microbeads. The produced microbead was spherical, and characterized by SEM, FTIR, and XRD. Further, the microbeads were analyzed for their survival stability over 3 months of storage at room temperature and 4 °C. The effect of the microbead on the vegetative growth of tomato plants was investigated. Results showed that 94 % of the encapsulated microbial beads (EMB) matrix was able to encapsulate the bacterial strain PS10. The dried EMB demonstrated a moisture content of 2.87 % and was able to preserve E. ludwigii-PS10 survival at room temperature at the rate of 85.6 %. The application of the microbead to the tomato plants significantly increased plant biomass and Zn content. As a result, our findings support the use of this novel EMB prepared using an alginate/poultry waste/starch mixture to increase bacterial cell viability and plant growth.

Abstract
Probiotic bacteria can be introduced to stresses during the culturing phase as an alternative to the use of protectants and coating substances during drying. Accurate enumeration of the bacterial count in a probiotic formulation can be provided using imaging flow cytometry (IFC). IFC overcomes the weak points of conventional, commonly used flow cytometry by combining its statistical power with the imaging content of microscopy in one system. Traditional flow cytometers only collect the fluorescence signal intensities, while IFC provides many more steps as it correlates the data on the measured parameters of fluorescence light with digitally processed images of the analyzed cells. As an alternative to standard methods (plate cell counts and traditional flow cytometry) IFC provides additional insight into the physiology and morphology of the cell. The use of complementary dyes (RedoxSensorTM Green and propidium iodide) allows for the designation of groups based on their metabolic activity and membrane damage. Additionally, cell sorting is incorporated to assess each group in terms of growth on different media (MRS-Agar and MRS broth). Results show that the groups with intermediate metabolic activity and some degree of cellular damage correspond with the description of viable but nonculturable cells.

Effect of Process Parameters, Protectants and Carrier Materials on the Survival of Yeast Cells during Fluidized Bed Granulation for Tableting. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15030884.

Abstract
The administration of living microorganisms is of special interest, with regard to probiotic microorganisms providing health benefits to the patient. Effective dosage forms require the preservation of microbial viability until administration. Storage stability can be improved by drying, and the tablet is an especially attractive final solid dosage form due to its ease of administration and its good patient compliance. In this study, drying of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae via fluidized bed spray granulation is investigated, as the probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii is a variety of it. Fluidized bed granulation enables faster drying than lyophilization on the one hand and lower temperatures than spray drying on the other hand, which are the two predominantly used techniques for life-sustaining drying of microorganisms. Yeast cell suspensions enriched with protective additives were sprayed onto the carrier particles of common tableting excipients, namely, dicalcium phosphate (DCP), lactose (LAC) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). Different protectants, such as mono-, di-, oligo- and polysaccharides, but also skimmed milk powder and one alditol, were tested; as they themselves, or chemically similar molecules, are known from other drying technologies to stabilize biological structures such as cell membranes, and thus, improve survival during dehydration. With the combined use of trehalose and skimmed milk powder, survival rates were 300 times higher than without the use of protective additives. In addition to these formulation aspects, the influence of process parameters such as inlet temperature and spray rate were considered. The granulated products were characterized regarding their particle size distribution, moisture content and the viability of the yeast cells. It has been shown that thermal stress on the microorganisms is especially critical, which can be reduced, for example, by reducing the inlet temperature or increasing the spray rate; however, formulation parameters such as cell concentration also influenced survival. The results were used to specify the influencing factors on the survival of microorganisms during fluidized bed granulation and to derive their linkages. Granules based on the three different carrier materials were tableted and the survival of the microorganisms was evaluated and linked to the tablet tensile strength achieved. Using LAC enabled the highest survival of the microorganisms throughout the considered process chain.

Abstract
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum cells were encapsulated in a mixture of cationic and anionic polymers, with the final composition stabilized through freeze-drying. A D-optimal design was used to examine the effects of different polymer concentrations as well as adding prebiotics on the probiotic viability and swelling behavior of the formulations. Scanning electron micrographs revealed stacked particles capable of rapidly absorbing significant amounts of water. These images corresponded to initial swelling percentages of around 2000% for the optimal formulation. The optimized formula had a viability percentage of more than 82%, with the stability studies suggesting that the powders should be stored at refrigerated temperatures. The physical characteristics of the optimized formula were examined to ensure compatibility with its application. According to antimicrobial evaluations, the difference in pathogen inhibition between formulated and fresh probiotics was less than a logarithm. The final formula was tested in vivo and showed improved wound healing indicators. The optimized formula resulted in a higher rate of wound closure and infection clearance. Furthermore, the molecular studies for oxidative stress indicated that the formula could modify wound inflammatory responses. In histological investigations, the probiotic-loaded particles functioned exactly as efficaciously as silver sulfadiazine ointment did.

Abstract
Abstract Yacon is mainly constituted of water and carbohydrates [single sugars and fructooligosaccharides (FOS)], thus being an excellent alternative for the growth and preservation of bacterial culture. Latilactobacillus sakei ACU-2 and Staphylococcus vitulinus ACU-10 comprised the autochthonous starter culture SAS-1 designed for the manufacture of dry sausages. This study evaluated the use of yacon juice as a potential growth medium and cryoprotectant for these bacteria. The growth medium was prepared with yacon juice supplemented with peptone and dipotassium phosphate. After growing, cells were resuspended in yacon juice (5, 10 and 25 mL/100 mL) and lyophilized. Viable cells were count before, immediately after lyophilization, and along 6 months of refrigerated storage. Both bacteria grew in every yacon concentration tested; however, juice concentration affected their growth. Latilactobacillus sakei grew at μ = 0.256 ± 0.01 giving the highest bacterial density at 10 mL/100 mL (Log DOmax 0.33 ± 0.01). While 5 mL/100 mL yacon juice provided the best conditions for S. vitulinus growth (μ = 0.215 ± 0.016; Log DOmax 0.32 ± 0.01). After lyophilization, the survival rate was 91.1% for L. sakei and 65.8% for S. vitulinus. Throughout storage, high cell counts suggested good stability of both bacteria. Results revealed that yacon juice comprises a nutritive substrate for the growth and cryopreservation of tested strains from the genus Latilactobacillus and Staphylococcus.

Exploring Freeze-Drying as Strategy to Enhance Viability of Faecalibacterium duncaniae DSM 17677 upon Aerobic Storage and Gastrointestinal Conditions. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14122735. [PMID: 36559229 PMCID: PMC9785611 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14122735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2022] [Revised: 12/02/2022] [Accepted: 12/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Faecalibacterium duncaniae is an intestinal commensal bacterium proposed as a next-generation probiotic due to its promising outcomes in the treatment and prevention of several human diseases, which demonstrate its multiple contributions to the host’s health. However, its strict anaerobic nature has created several hurdles in the development of functional foods, nutraceuticals, and biotherapeutic products. Herein, we explored freeze-dried formulations containing prebiotics, cryoprotectants, and antioxidant agents as a technological strategy to enhance the viability of F. duncaniae DSM 17677 upon aerobic storage and gastrointestinal tract conditions. Our results indicate that freeze-dried F. duncaniae in a matrix containing inulin, sucrose, cysteine, and riboflavin survived at levels higher than 106 CFU/g and around 105 CFU/g after 1 and 4 days of aerobic storage at room temperature, respectively. Thus, the freeze-dried formulation with inulin, sucrose, cysteine, and riboflavin presents as a protective strategy to improve F. duncaniae viability under aerobic environments. Nevertheless, incorporation of a suitable coating aimed at protecting F. duncaniae against the detrimental gastrointestinal passage effects is urgently required, given its high susceptibility to extreme acidic pH values and bile.

Abstract
Ligilactobacillus salivarius is a lactic acid bacterium exhibiting several health benefits but remains commercially underexploited due to its inability to survive during long-term storage in the dried state. Our objective was to study the effect of various protective molecules (maltodextrin, trehalose, antioxidants, and fructooligosaccharides), being efficient on other bacteria, on the freeze-dried stability of L. salivarius CECT5713. The culturability was evaluated after freezing, freeze-drying, and subsequent storage at 37 °C, as well as the biochemical composition of cells in an aqueous environment using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) micro-spectroscopy. The assignment of principal absorption bands to cellular components was performed using data from the literature on bacteria. The membrane fatty acid composition was determined after freeze-drying and storage. Glass transition temperature of the liquid and freeze-dried bacterial suspensions and water activity of the freeze-dried samples were measured. The best storage stability was observed for the formulations involving maltodextrin and antioxidants. The analysis of the FTIR spectra of freeze-thawed cells and rehydrated cells after freeze-drying and storage revealed that freeze-drying induced damage to proteins, peptidoglycans of the cell wall and nucleic acids. Storage stability appeared to be dependent on the ability of the protective molecules to limit damage during freeze-drying. The inactivation rates of bacteria during storage were analyzed as a function of the temperature difference between the product temperature during sublimation or during storage and the glass transition temperature, allowing a better insight into the stabilization mechanisms of freeze-dried bacteria. Maintaining during the process a product temperature well below the glass transition temperature, especially during storage, appeared essential for L. salivarius CECT5713 storage stability. KEY POINTS: • L. salivarius CECT5713 highly resisted freezing but was sensitive to freeze-drying and storage. • Freeze-drying and storage mainly altered cell proteins, peptidoglycans, and nucleic acids. • A glassy matrix containing maltodextrin and an antioxidant ensured the highest storage stability.

Abstract
Probiotics are known as the live microorganisms which upon adequate administration elicit a health beneficial response inside the host by decreasing the luminal pH, eliminating the pathogenic bacteria in the gut as well as producing short chain fatty acids (SCFA). With advancements in research; probiotics have been explored as potential ingredients in foods. However, their use and applications in food industry have been limited due to restrictions of maintaining the viability of probiotic cells and targeting the successful delivery to gut. Encapsulation techniques have significant influence on increasing the viability rates of probiotic cells with the successful delivery of cells to the target site. Moreover, encapsulating techniques also prevent the live cells from harsh physiological conditions of gut. This review discusses several encapsulating techniques as well as materials derived from natural sources and nutraceutical compounds. In addition to this, this paper also comprehensively discusses the factors affecting the probiotics viability and evaluation of successful release and survival of probiotics under simulated gastric, intestinal conditions as well as bile, acid tolerant conditions. Lastly applications and challenges of using encapsulated bacteria in food industry for the development of novel functional foods have also been discussed in detail too. Future studies must include investigating the use of encapsulated bacterial formulations in in-vivo models for effective health beneficial properties as well as exploring the mechanisms behind the successful release of these formulations in gut, hence helping us to understand the encapsulation of probiotic cells in a meticulous manner.

Abstract
Preparations containing probiotic strains of bacteria have a beneficial effect on human and animal health. The benefits of probiotics translate into an increased interest in techniques for the preservation of microorganisms. This review compares different drying methods and their improvements, with specific reference to processing conditions, microorganisms, and protective substances. It also highlights some factors that may influence the quality and stability of the final probiotic preparations, including thermal, osmotic, oxidative, and acidic stresses, as well as dehydration and shear forces. Processing and storage result in the loss of viability and stability in probiotic formulations. Herein, the addition of protective substances, the optimization of process parameters, and the adaptation of cells to stress factors before drying are described as countermeasures to these challenges. The latest trends and developments in the fields of drying technologies and probiotic production are also discussed. These developments include novel application methods, controlled release, the use of food matrices, and the use of analytical methods to determine the viability of probiotic bacteria.

Abstract
Akkermansia muciniphila is regarded as a promising next-generation probiotic or live biotherapeutic candidate. Effective delivery strategies must be developed to ensure high enough viability of the probiotic strain throughout its industrial formulation, distribution chain, shelf-life, and, ultimately, the host’s gastrointestinal tract, where it should exert its beneficial effect(s). Among the possible methodologies, spray-drying is considered industrially attractive regarding its costs, efficiency, and scalability, with the due parameter customization. In this study, spray-drying was explored as a one-step process to encapsulate A. muciniphila DSM 22959, testing the drying settings and three different dairy-based matrices. Microcapsule morphology and size was assessed, and viability throughout storage at 4 or 22 °C and simulated gastrointestinal passage was determined. Akkermansia muciniphila microencapsulation by spray-drying, using 10% skim milk and inlet/outlet temperatures of 150/65 °C, is effective in terms of viability stabilization, both during prolonged aerobic storage and exposure to simulated gastrointestinal passage. Akkermansia muciniphila viability was maintained at around 107 CFU/g up to 28 days at 4 °C under aerobic conditions with viability losses inferior to 1 log reduction. This methodology provides the necessary conditions to efficiently deliver the recommended dose of live A. muciniphila in the human gut as a live biotherapeutic product.

Abstract
In this study, three different microencapsulation methods were used to embed Bifidobacterium to explore the alleviating effects of embedding methods on constipated mice. By measuring the defecation-related parameters, it was found that the Bifidobacteria treated by electrostatic spray drying had the best ability to relieved constipation. Furthermore, by detecting constipation-related gastrointestinal regulatory peptides, inflammatory factors, intestinal microbiota, and SCFAs, it was discovered that Bifidobacteria treated by electrostatic spray drying changed the composition of intestinal microbiota, especially the relative abundance of bacteria that were positively correlated with AQP3, but negatively correlated with ET-1 and SS, then increased the level of AQP3 in the intestine, and finally relieved constipation by increasing the fecal water content and small intestinal propulsion rate. In conclusion, the electrostatic spray drying method was superior to the other two methods in maintaining the activity of Bifidobacteria and relieved constipation by changing the relative abundance of bacteria that were correlated with gastrointestinal regulatory peptides and increasing the content of fecal water and small intestinal propulsion rate.

Abstract
Life expectancy has dramatically increased over the past 200 years, but modern life factors such as environmental exposure, antibiotic overuse, C-section deliveries, limited breast-feeding, and diets poor in fibers and microbes could be associated with the rise of noncommunicable diseases such as overweight, obesity, diabetes, food allergies, and colorectal cancer as well as other conditions such as mental disorders. Microbial interventions that range from transplanting a whole undefined microbial community from a healthy gut to an ill one, e.g., so-called fecal microbiota transplantation or vaginal seeding, to the administration of selected well-characterized microbes, either live (probiotics) or not (postbiotics), with efficacy demonstrated in clinical trials, may be effective tools to treat or prevent acute and chronic diseases that humans still face, enhancing the quality of life.

Abstract
Members of Bifidobacterium are among the first microbes to colonize the human intestine naturally, their abundance and diversity in the colon are closely related to host health. Recently, the gut microbiota has been gradually proven to be crucial mediators of various metabolic processes between the external environment and the host. Therefore, the health-promoting benefits of Bifidobacterium spp. and their applications in food have gradually been widely concerned. The main purpose of this review is to comprehensively introduce general features, colonization methods, and safety of Bifidobacterium spp. in the human gut, highlighting its health benefits and industrial applications. On this basis, the existing limitations and scope for future research are also discussed. Bifidobacteria have beneficial effects on the host's digestive system, immune system, and nervous system. However, the first prerequisite for functioning is to have enough live bacteria before consumption and successfully colonize the colon after ingestion. At present, strain breeding, optimization (e.g., selecting acid and bile resistant strains, adaptive evolution, high cell density culture), and external protection technology (e.g., microencapsulation and protectants) are the main strategies to address these challenges in food application.
