Unveiling metabolic pathways of selected plant-derived glycans by Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum. Front Microbiol 2024; 15:1414471. [PMID: 39081887 PMCID: PMC11286577 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1414471] [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: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Bifidobacteria are commonly encountered members of the human gut microbiota that possess the enzymatic machinery necessary for the metabolism of certain plant-derived, complex carbohydrates. In the current study we describe differential growth profiles elicited by a panel of 21 newly isolated Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum strains on various plant-derived glycans. Using a combination of gene-trait matching and comparative genome analysis, we identified two distinct xylanases responsible for the degradation of xylan. Furthermore, three distinct extracellular α-amylases were shown to be involved in starch degradation by certain strains of B. pseudocatenulatum. Biochemical characterization showed that all three α-amylases can cleave the related substrates amylose, amylopectin, maltodextrin, glycogen and starch. The genes encoding these enzymes are variably found in the species B. pseudocatenulatum, therefore constituting a strain-specific adaptation to the gut environment as these glycans constitute common plant-derived carbohydrates present in the human diet. Overall, our study provides insights into the metabolism of these common dietary carbohydrates by a human-derived bifidobacterial species.

Abstract
As a food-safe microorganism, Bacillus subtilis has been widely utilized in the production of food enzyme, where a food-grade expression system without antibiotic is required. However, there is no mature system for such expression, since the recombinant plasmid in existing food-grade expression system is unstable especially in high-density fermentation. In this study, we constructed a food-grade expression system based on the dal gene auxotrophic selection marker. Specifically, maltogenic amylase (AmyM) was expressed in dal deletion strain without antibiotic, yielding an activity of 519 U/mL. To increase the expression of AmyM, the promoter of amyM (gene encoding AmyM) was optimized. Furthermore, we found that excessive expression of dal gene was detrimental to the stability of plasmid, and the ribosome binding site (RBS) of dal was mutated with the reduced synthesis of D-alanine. After that, AmyM activity increased to 1364 U/mL with the 100 % stability of plasmid. The 3-L fermentor cultivation was performed with the highest value ever reported in food-grade microorganisms, an activity of 2388 U/mL, showing the scale-up production capability of this system. Besides, it is also able to apply the system for other food enzymes, which indicating the great generalizability of this system for different application.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 250:126107.

Abstract
Amylopectin clusters (APCs) are produced by cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (EC 2.4.1.19). Their solubility rate in aqueous solution was found to be 16.7 %. The weight-average molecular weight of APCs is ∼105 Da, as determined by multiangle laser light scattering analysis. Side chain length analysis indicated that the relative proportions of side chains with a degree of polymerization in the ranges of 2-8 and 25-50 decreased and increased, respectively, during preparation of APCs. In the exercise experiment, the blood glucose level of rats was higher in the APC-treated group than in the groups treated with commercial carbohydrate supplement (CCD) and glucose. In the forced swimming test, the swimming time in the APC and CCD groups increased by 22.6 % and 31.1 %, respectively, compared with the glucose administration group. The insulin levels were also similar between the APC and CCD groups. However, the glycogen levels in the liver and muscles of mice were significantly higher in the APC group than control group. These results suggest that APCs could potentially enhance endurance when added to sports drinks.

Abstract
The human vaginal microbiota is frequently dominated by lactobacilli and transition to a more diverse community of anaerobic microbes is associated with health risks. Glycogen released by lysed epithelial cells is believed to be an important nutrient source in the vagina. However, the mechanism by which vaginal bacteria metabolize glycogen is unclear, with evidence implicating both bacterial and human enzymes. Here we biochemically characterize six glycogen-degrading enzymes (GDEs), all of which are pullanases (PulA homologues), from vaginal bacteria that support the growth of amylase-deficient Lactobacillus crispatus on glycogen. We reveal variations in their pH tolerance, substrate preferences, breakdown products and susceptibility to inhibition. Analysis of vaginal microbiome datasets shows that these enzymes are expressed in all community state types. Finally, we confirm the presence and activity of bacterial and human GDEs in cervicovaginal fluid. This work establishes that bacterial GDEs can participate in the breakdown of glycogen, providing insight into metabolism that may shape the vaginal microbiota.

Abstract
Bifidobacterial proteins have been widely studied to elucidate the metabolic mechanisms of diet adaptation and survival of Bifidobacteria, among others. The use of heterologous expression systems to obtain proteins in sufficient quantities to be characterized has been essential in these studies. L. lactis and the same Bifidobacterium as expression systems highlight ways to corroborate some of the functions attributed to these proteins. The most studied proteins are enzymes related to carbohydrate metabolism, particularly glycosidases, due to their potential application in the synthesis of neoglycoconjugates, prebiotic neooligosaccharides, and active metabolites as well as their high specificity and efficiency in processing glycoconjugates. In this review, we classified the recombinant bifidobacterial proteins reported to date whose characterization has demonstrated their usefulness or their ability to produce a product of commercial interest for the food industry, biomedicine, process innovation and glycobiology. Future directions for their study are also discussed. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10068-021-00957-1.

Abstract
Microorganisms striving in extreme environments and exhibiting optimal growth and reproduction at low temperatures, otherwise known as psychrophilic microorganisms, are potential sources of cold-active enzymes. Owing to higher stability and cold activity, these enzymes are gaining enormous attention in numerous industrial bioprocesses. Applications of several cold-active enzymes have been established in the food industry, e.g., β-galactosidase, pectinase, proteases, amylases, xylanases, pullulanases, lipases, and β-mannanases. The enzyme engineering approaches and the accumulating knowledge of protein structure and function have made it possible to improve the catalytic properties of interest and express the candidate enzyme in a heterologous host for a higher level of enzyme production. This review compiles the relevant and recent information on the potential uses of different cold-active enzymes in the food industry.

Abstract
The use of unmodified starch in frozen foods can cause extremely undesirable textural changes after the freeze-thaw process. In this study, using cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) and branching enzymes, an amylopectin cluster with high freeze-thaw stability was produced, and was named CBAC. It was found to have a water solubility seven times higher, and a molecular weight 77 times lower, than corn starch. According to the results of a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis, dough containing 5% CBAC lost 19% less water than a control dough after three freeze-thaw cycles. During storage for 7 days at 4 °C, bread produced using CBAC-treated dough exhibited a 14% smaller retrogradation peak and 37% less hardness than a control dough, suggesting that CBAC could be a potential candidate for clean label starch, providing high-level food stability under repeated freeze-thaw conditions.

Abstract
Potato starch with high viscosity and digestibility cannot be added into some foods. To address this issue, a novel starch-acting enzyme 4,6-α-glucosyltransferase from Streptococcus thermophilus (StGtfB) was used. StGtfB decreased the iodine affinity and the molecular weight, but increased the degree of branching of starch at a mode quite different from glycogen 1,4-α-glucan branching enzyme (GBE). StGtfB at 5 U/g substrate mainly introduced DP 1-7 into amylose (AMY) or DP 1-12 branches into amylopectin (AMP), and increased the ratio of short- to long-branches from 0.32 to 2.22 or from 0.41 to 2.50. The DP 3 branch chain was the most abundant in both StGtfB-modified AMY and StGtfB-modified AMP. The DP < 6 branch chain contents in StGtfB-modified AMY were 42.68%, much higher than those of GBE-modified AMY. StGtfB significantly decreased viscoelasticity but still kept pseudoplasticity of starch. The modifications also slowed down the glucose generation rate of products at the mammalian mucosal α-glucosidase level. The slowly digestible fraction in potato starch increased from 34.29% to 53.22% using StGtfB of 5 U/g starch. This low viscoelastic and slowly digestible potato starch had great potential with respect to low and stable postprandial blood glucose.

Abstract
Maltogenic amylase suppressed starch retrogradation in baked products. Here, a maltogenic amylase-producing strain of bacteria was screened and identified as Bacillus licheniformis R-53. Its coding gene was cloned and over-expressed in Bacillus subtilis WB600. Recombinant maltogenic amylase BLMA exhibited activity of 3235 U/mg under optimal conditions (60 °C and pH 6.5), with a good thermostability and pH stability. Mixolab experiment showed that a concentration of 60 ppm BLMA significantly improved the operating characteristics of dough. Baking test indicated the recombinant BLMA reduced bread hardness by 2.12 times compared with the control. Compared with maltogenic amylase from Novozymes (Novamyl 3D BG) and Angel Yeast Co. Ltd. (MAM100), BLMA has better effect on improving the bread volume, and almost the same effect on reducing hardness, improving elasticity and maintaining sensory as Novamyl 3D BG. Adding BLMA improved bread quality, increased bread volume and decreased hardness during storage, thus extending its shelf life.

Abstract
Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (B. thetaiotaomicron), which resides in the human intestinal tract, has a number of carbohydrate enzymes, including glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 97. Only a few GH 97 enzymes have been characterized to date. In this study, a novel α-galactosidase (Bt_3294) was cloned from B. thetaiotaomicron, expressed in Escherichia coli, and purified using affinity chromatography. This novel enzyme showed optimal activity at 60 °C and pH 7.0. Enzyme activity was reduced by 94.4% and 95.7% in the presence of 5 mM Ca2+ and Fe2+, respectively. It is interesting that Bt_3294 specifically hydrolyzed shorter α-galactosyl oligosaccharides, such as melibiose and raffinose. The D-values of Bt_3294 at 40 °C and 50 °C were about 107 and 6 min, respectively. After immobilization of Bt_3294, the D-values at 40 °C and 50 °C were about 37.6 and 29.7 times higher than those of the free enzyme, respectively. As a practical application, the immobilized Bt_3294 was used to hydrolyze raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) in soy milk, decreasing the RFOs by 98.9%.

Abstract
Microorganisms have evolved themselves to thrive under various extreme environmental conditions such as extremely high or low temperature, alkalinity, and salinity. These microorganisms adapted several metabolic processes to survive and reproduce efficiently under such extreme environments. As the major proportion of earth is covered with the cold environment and is exploited by human beings, these sites are not pristine anymore. Human interventions are a great reason for disturbing the natural biogeochemical cycles in these regions. The survival strategies of these organisms have shown great potential for helping us to restore these pristine sites and the use of isolated cold-adapted enzymes from these organisms has also revolutionized various industrial products. This review gives you the insight of psychrophilic enzyme adaptations and their industrial applications.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are produced from starch by cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase), which has cyclization activity. Specifically, α-CD is an important biomolecule, as it is a molecular carrier and soluble dietary fiber used in the food industry. Upon inspection of the conserved regions of the glycoside hydrolase (GH) 13 family amylases, the amino acids K232 and H233 of CGTase were identified as playing an important role in enzyme reaction specificity. A novel CD hydrolyzing enzyme, cyclodextrin glycosyl transferase (CGTase)-alpha, was developed using site-directed mutagenesis at these positions. Action pattern analysis using various substrates revealed that CGTase-alpha was able to hydrolyze β- and γ-CD, but not α-CD. This selective CD hydrolyzing property was employed to purify α-CD from a CD mixture solution. The α-CD that remained after treatment with CGTase-alpha and exotype glucoamylase was purified using hydrophobic interaction chromatography with 99% purity.
