Genotoxic potential of cellobiose

A comprehensive review on the properties, production, and applications of functional glucobioses

Glucobiose is a range of disaccharides consisting of two glucose molecules, generally including trehalose, kojibiose, sophorose, nigerose, laminaribiose, maltose, cellobiose, isomaltose, and gentiobiose. The difference glycosidic bonds of two glucose molecules result in the diverse molecular structures, physiochemical properties and physiological functions of these glucobioses. Some glucobioses are abundant in nature but have unconspicuous roles on health like maltose, whereas some rare glucobioses display remarkable biological effects. It is unpractical process to extract these rare glucobioses from natural resources, while biological synthesis is a feasible approach. Recently, the production and application of glucobiose have attracted considerable attention. This review provides a comprehensive overview of glucobioses, including their natural sources and physicochemical properties like structure, sweetness, digestive performance, toxicology, and cariogenicity. Specific enzymes used for the production of various glucobioses and fermentation production processes are summarized. Additionally, their versatile functions and broad applications are also introduced.

Cellobiose inhibits the release of deoxynivalenol from transformed deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum

•

The NMM.1 efficiently transformed deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside to deoxynivalenol.

•

Deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside transformation preferred weak alkaline environments.

•

Deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside down-regulated cellobiose metabolism of the NMM.1.

•

Cellobiose could efficiently inhibit deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside transformation.

The masked mycotoxin deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside (D3G) has been reported to be a detoxification product in plants, but can be hydrolyzed into its toxic precursor, deoxynivalenol (DON). Herein, we reported that Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) NMM.1, isolated from Inner Mongolia raw milk, can efficiently transform D3G to DON in a short time. The global transcriptome microarray profiling of L. plantarum NMM.1 revealed differential expression of genes related to the phosphotransferase system (PTS) when D3G was used as the sole carbohydrate source. By adding an exogenous carbon source, we found that cellobiose efficiently inhibited the conversion of D3G into its precursor toxin by L. plantarum NMM.1. Overall, substrate depletion studies, transcriptome analysis, and carbohydrate intervention studies of L. plantarum NMM.1 suggested that cellobiose could be used to prevent the transformation of D3G into its free native DON by L. plantarum, thereby preventing harm to the human body.
