Abstract
Microbiome dysbiosis is closely related to the etiology of kidney stone disease (KSD) and influences a multitude of pathways. Due to our knowledge gaps on this topic, it is still unclear if microbiome interventions can be translated to demonstrate clinical efficacy. Current evidence suggests that the enhancement of butyrate-producing pathways should be the next step for KSD research. While we are not yet at a point where we can make clinical recommendations for KSD, there are many simple dietary or supplement-based approaches that could be applied in the future for prophylaxis or treatment of KSD.

Abstract
Oxalate degradation is one of lactic acid bacteria's desirable activities. It is achieved by two enzymes, formyl coenzyme A transferase (frc) and oxalyl coenzyme A decarboxylase (oxc). The current study aimed to screen 15 locally isolated lactic acid bacteria to select those with the highest oxalate degradation ability. It also aimed to amplify the genes involved in degradation. MRS broth supplemented with 20 mM sodium oxalate was used to culture the tested isolates for 72 h. This was followed by an enzymatic assay to detect remaining oxalate. All isolates showed oxalate degradation activity to variable degrees. Five isolates demonstrated high oxalate degradation, 78 to 88%. To investigate the oxalate-degradation potential of the selected isolates, they have been further tested for the presence of genes that encode for enzymes involved in oxalate catabolism, formyl coenzyme A transferase (frc) and oxalyl coenzyme A decarboxylase (oxc). Three strains showed bands with the specific OXC and FRC forward and reverse primers designated as (SA-5, 9 and 37). Species-level identification revealed Loigolactobacillus bifermentans, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei, and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum. Preliminary results revealed that the tested probiotic strains harbored both oxc and frc whose products are putatively involved in oxalate catabolism. The probiotic potential of the selected strains was evaluated, and they showed high survival rates to both simulated gastric and intestinal fluids and variable degrees of antagonism against the tested Gram-positive and negative pathogens and were sensitive to clarithromycin but resistant to both metronidazole and ceftazidime. Finally, these strains could be exploited as an innovative approach to establish oxalate homeostasis in humans and prevent kidney stone formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Predictive microbiology is a tool that allows us to evaluate the behavior of the concentration of biomass and estimated cells under extrinsic conditions, providing scientific and industrial benefits. In the present study, the growth of L. lactis and L. casei combined with inulin and fructose was modeled using the Gompertz sigmoidal growth functions and plotted using data obtained from batch culture in relation to biomass and cell concentration expressed as estimates in ln N (OD600nm and cells mL-1 ) as a function of time. RESULTS The results of the kinetic modeling indicated that (T1) A1B1 = L. lactis + fructose and (T4) A2B2 = L. casei + inulin presented the best function coefficients and best fits in most cases compared to the rest. The specific growth rate of the maximum acceleration was from 0.364 to 0.473 h-1 and 0.100 to 0.129 h-1 , the concentration of bacterial cells (A) was from 0.556 to 0.713 and 0.425 to 0.548 respectively and the time where (μ) occurred with a greater magnitude (L) fluctuated between 0.854 and 0.802 and when this time in (L) is very fast, it presents values of ≤0.072 to ≤0.092. Its coefficient of determination and/or multiple regression (R2 ) obtained in the two adjustments was 0.97. CONCLUSION It was possible to predict the influence of the carbon source on the behavior of maximum growth rates, higher consumption due to nutrient affinity and shorter growth time. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of prebiotics such as fructooligosaccharides (FOS), galactooligosaccharides (GOS), isomaltooligosaccharides (IMO), and inulin on the probiotic biomass and its probiotic properties were studied for thermally acclimatized Lactobacillus helveticus (H-45) and Lacticaseibacillus casei N (N-45) strains at 45 ℃ using adaptive laboratory evolution method. Among the prebiotics studied, GOS was found to be more suitable for synbiotic preparation. The tolerance of lactobacilli cultures H-45 and N-45 in the presence of acid and bile were 4.79 and 8.60% and 2.84 and 4.65% higher than their wild-type strains (H-37 and N-37). Similarly, H-45 and N-45 showed an increase in survivability of 5.29 and 8.63% under simulated gastric conditions and 9.21 and 7.70% under simulated intestinal conditions than H-37 and N-37. Propionic acid yield increased by 0.65-fold in N-45 compared to N-37 in the presence of GOS as a prebiotic, whereas H-37 showed 0.26-fold higher propionic acid production than H-45. Thermally acclimatized strain N-45 showed better survivability under stress conditions than H-45. The synbiotic combination of N45 + GOS was spray-dried using corn starch (CS) as carrier material to obtain spray-dried synbiotic powder (N45 + CS + GOS). This synbiotic powder was added to the ready-to-drink (RTD) fruit drinks prepared from five fruit-flavoured squashes (pineapple, orange, grape, mango, and lemon ginger). The varied amounts of added synbiotic powder did not significantly alter the physicochemical properties of the fruit drinks. Hence, synbiotic formulation N45 + GOS + CS may find application in developing various functional foods.

Characterization of Autochthonous Strains from the Cecal Content of Creole Roosters for a Potential Use as Probiotics. Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:ani13030455.

Abstract
Five strains (CLP2, CLP3, CLP4, CLP5, and CLP6) were isolated from the cecal content of Creole roosters fed without antibiotic growth promoters. Biochemical and morphological tests (negative catalase and oxidase) confirmed the presence of lactic acid bacteria. Additionally, considering the 16s RNA, Lactobacillus vaginalis (CLP2, CLP3, CLP5, and CLP6) and Lactobacillus reuteri (CLP4) were identified. All strains (mainly CLP4 and CLP5) showed variable and significant growth (p < 0.001) at different levels of pH. Likewise, all bacterial cultures were quantified at 42 °C, although only strains CLP4 and CLP5 managed to grow at 30 °C. Additionally, the CLP4, CLP5, and CLP6 strains grew from 0.05 to 0.30% of biliary salts. However, only the CLP4 isolate grew at different concentrations of NaCl (2-10%), and CLP5 grew at 2% NaCl. The CLP4 strain was able to inhibit the in vitro growth of enterobacteria such as Escherichia coli ATCC® 11775TM, Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC® 14028TM, and Clostridium perfringens ATCC® 13124TM. In addition, CLP4 had lower sensitivity in the presence of amoxicillin and tetracycline compared to these pathogenic bacteria. Considering these in vitro results, it is necessary to carry out in vivo studies with the CLP4 strain to test the hypothesis of its probiotic effect in poultry.

Abstract
Oxalate, a compound produced by many edible plants and as a terminal metabolite in the liver of mammals, is a toxin that has a detrimental role to human health. Humans and other mammals do possess enzymatic systems to degrade oxalate. Moreover, numerous oxalate-degrading bacteria reside in the mammalian gut and, thus, provide an important function for hosts. The current review focuses on the environmental factors that influence the efficacy of probiotic oxalate-degrading bacteria, relative to oxalate metabolism. We describe the mechanism of oxalate catabolism and its consumption by obligate and facultative anaerobic oxalate-degrading bacteria, in both in vitro and in vivo environments. We also explore the environmental variables that impact oxalate degradation. Studies on single species degrade oxalate have not shown a strong impact on oxalate metabolism, especially in high oxalate conditions such as consumption of foods high in oxalate (such as coffee and chocolate for humans or halogeton in animal feed). Considering effective variables which enhance oxalate degradation could be used in application of effective probiotic as a therapeutic tool in individuals with hyperoxaluria. This study indicates probiotics can be considered a good source of naturally occurring oxalate degrading agent in human colon.

Abstract
The present study aimed (i) to evaluate whether ceftriaxone treatment could affect not only intestinal oxalate-degrading bacteria number but also their total activity to degrade oxalate and influence oxalate homeostasis in rats, (ii) and to estimate the ability of commercially available inulin-contained synbiotic to restore fecal oxalate-degrading activity and ceftriaxone-induced disruption of oxalate homeostasis in rats. Twenty-eight female Wistar rats (200-300 g) were randomly divided into four groups (n = 7). Group 1 was treated with vehicle sterile water (0.1 ml, i.m., 14 days); Group 2 received synbiotic (30 mg/kg, per os, 14 days); Group 3 was treated with ceftriaxone (300 mg/kg, i.m., 7 days); Group 4 was supplemented with ceftriaxone and synbiotic. Oxalate-degrading bacteria number and their total activity, urinary and plasma oxalate concentrations were measured on days 1 and 57 after the treatment withdrawal. The redoximetric titration with KMnO4 was adopted to evaluate the total oxalate-degrading activity in highly selective Oxalate Medium. Ceftriaxone treatment reduced total fecal oxalate-degrading activity independently on oxalate-degrading bacteria number and increased urinary and plasma oxalate concentrations. The synbiotic had higher oxalate-degrading activity vs probiotics and was able to restore fecal oxalate-degrading activity and significantly decrease urinary oxalate excretion in antibiotic-treated rats. Total fecal oxalate-degrading activity but not oxalate-degrading bacteria number should be thoroughly examined in the future to develop predictive diagnostics methods, targeted prevention and personalized treatment in kidney stone disease. Synbiotic supplementation had a beneficial effect on the total oxalate-degrading activity of gut microbiota, which resulted in decreased UOx excretion in rats.

Abstract
Fructooligosaccharide is used widely in many foods and pharmaceutical industries and produced by using different ways such as extracting it from plants or producing it by using plants and microorganisms' enzymes. In a previous study, we extracted Fructosyltransferase (Ftase) enzyme from pineapple residue and produced FOS. In this study, we measured the antagonistic activity of two synbiotics, the first synbiotic containing Lactobacillus acidophilus and the produced FOS, the second synbiotic containing Lactobacillus acidophilus and standard FOS, against pathogenic bacteria (P. aeruginosa, E. coli, S. aureus and B cereus). The results showed that the antagonistic activity of both synbiotic types was very close, as there were no significant differences between them except in the antagonistic activity against S. aureus, there was a significant difference between the synbiotic containing the standard FOS, which was the highest in its antagonistic activity compared to the synbiotic containing the produced FOS in this study. The activity of the fructooligosaccharide (FOS) extracted from pineapple residue was evident in enhancing the activity of the probiotic bacteria (L. acidophilus), which had a major role in the production of acids and compounds that inhibited the pathogenic bacteria. The diameters of inhibition areas in the current study ranged between 19.33-28 mm, and E. coli was more susceptible to inhibition, followed by S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and B. cereus, respectively.

Abstract
Inulin, a fructan-type non-digestible carbohydrate, is a natural functional dietary fiber found in selected plants including chicory, garlic, onion, leeks and asparagus. Due to increasing popularity of inulin and rising awareness toward its low calorie value and prebiotic related health implications, consumers are becoming more conscious on consuming inulin incorporated foods. In this review, the scientific studies published in recent years regarding potential applications of inulin in meat products; and their effects on physicochemical and sensory properties, and health implications are discussed. Meat based functional foods with inulin can lead to enhance digestive health by reducing the risk of diseases like constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. Inulin can be an interesting prebiotic ingredient in healthier meat formulations, apart from being a fat replacer and dietary fiber enhancer.

Abstract
Probiotics are living organisms that have beneficial effects on host by regulating the microbial balance of the intestinal system. While probiotics are naturally found in yogurt and other fermented foods, they can also be added to many products. Although mostly in dairy products, it is possible to see examples of food products supplemented by probiotics in bakeries, chocolates and confectioneries. Nowadays, the COVID-19 pandemic that the world suffers increased the demand for such functional food products including probiotics. Due to probiotics having potential effects on strengthening the immune system, confectioneries supplemented by probiotics were comprehensively discussed in this review together with the suggestion of a novel gelly composition. The suggested formulation of the product is a gel-like snack contains natural ingredients such as carrot, lemon juice and sugar provided from apples. This research review article provided a guide together with the recommendations for potential probiotic research in candy and confectionery industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lead (Pb2+ ) is one of the most toxic heavy metals and can be found in various quantities in the environment. The five native probiotic bacteria and inulin were used to assess in vitro lead nitrate and lead acetate binding capacities, as well as removal potentials. RESULTS The highest decrease in media pH was seen for samples containing a combination of Lactobacillus paracasei IRBC-M 10784, lead nitrate and inulin (5.30 ± 0.012). The presence of inulin in the environment accelerated decreases in the pH of all samples with no significance. In all groups, lead nitrate-containing samples included maximum pH decreases. From the highest to the lowest, the ability of lead removal was linked to Lactobacillus acidophilus PTCC-1932 (88.48%), Bifidobacterium bifidum BIA-7 (85.32%), Bifidobacterium lactis BIA-6 (85.24%), Lactobacillus rhamnosus IBRC-M 10782 (83.18%) and L. paracasei IRBC-M 10784 (80.66%). Most species included the highest decrease in lead nitrate. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis demonstrated that various functional groups (hydroxyl, carboxylic, carbonyl, amino and amide binds) on the bacterial cell wall were involved in lead ion binding during incubation. Principal component analysis of the FTIR results showed differences with respect to treated groups and control groups. CONCLUSION The results obtained in the present study reveal that the simultaneous use of native probiotics and inulin can be an effective and safe approach for removing various toxic substances, especially Pb. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colibactin is a genotoxin that induces DNA double-strand breaks that may lead to carcinogenesis and is produced by Escherichia coli strains harboring the pks island. Human and animal studies have shown that colibactin-producing gut bacteria promote carcinogenesis and enhance the progression of colorectal cancer through cellular senescence and chromosomal abnormalities. In this study, we investigated the impact of prebiotics on the genotoxicity of colibactin-producing E. coli strains Nissle 1917 and NC101. METHODS Bacteria were grown in medium supplemented with 20, 30 and 40 mg/mL of prebiotics inulin or galacto-oligosaccharide, and with or without 5 μM, 25 μM and 125 μM of ferrous sulfate. Colibactin expression was assessed by luciferase reporter assay for the clbA gene, essential for colibactin production, in E. coli Nissle 1917 and by RT-PCR in E. coli NC101. The human epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line, Caco-2, was used to assess colibactin-induced megalocytosis by methylene blue binding assay and genotoxicity by γ-H2AX immunofluorescence analysis. RESULTS Inulin and galacto-oligosaccharide enhanced the expression of clbA in pks+ E. coli. However, the addition of 125 μM of ferrous sulfate inhibited the expression of clbA triggered by oligosaccharides. In the presence of either oligosaccharide, E. coli NC101 increased dysplasia and DNA double-strand breaks in Caco-2 cells compared to untreated cells. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that, in vitro, prebiotic oligosaccharides exacerbate DNA damage induced by colibactin-producing bacteria. Further studies are necessary to establish whether oligosaccharide supplementation may lead to increased colorectal tumorigenesis in animal models colonized with pks+ E. coli.

[PMID: 32679890 PMCID: PMC7401596 DOI: 10.3390/ani10071204] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2020] [Revised: 07/03/2020] [Accepted: 07/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Three lactic acid strains were isolated from feces of the native Zungo Pelado breed of pigs (n = 5) and presumably identified as belonging to the Lactobacillaceae family by morphological techniques showing that they were Gram-positive/rod-shaped and catalase- and oxidase-negative. They were then identified by biochemical tests using API 50CHL as Lactobacillus plantarum (CAM6), Lactobacillus brevis (CAM7), and Lactobacillus acidophilus (CL4). However, 16S rRNA identification showed that all three strains were Lactobacillus plantarum. Additionally, all three isolates were able to grow in pH 3 and 4. Interestingly, the growth of the CAM7 strain decreased at pH 5.6 compared to that of the CAM6 strain (p < 0.05), and the growth of the CL4 strain was reduced at pH 7(p < 0.05). All three candidates showed good growth on bile salts (≥0.15%), and CAM6 and CAM7 showed better tolerance at higher concentrations (0.30%). Similarly, all strains tolerated sodium chloride (NaCl) concentrations from 2 to 10%. These strains also grew well at all temperatures tested (30, 37, and 42 °C). The CAM6 strain showed in vitro antibacterial activity against selected enteropathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli strain NBRC 102203 and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium 4.5.12) and commensal bacteria (Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC BAA-1705D-5 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 15442) and resistance to all antibiotics except amoxicillin. Further studies to evaluate the effects of these probiotic candidate strains in commercial pigs are currently underway.

Poult Sci 2020; 98:6942-6953.

Abstract
Inulin, a prebiotic, is an attractive alternative to antibiotic growth promoters in chickens. Dietary supplementation with inulin can improve growth performance, carcass yield, immune system activity, and serum biochemical parameters in chickens. A few studies investigated the impact of dietary inulin supplementation on chicken intestinal microbiota. In this study, we investigated how and why dietary supplementation with 1, 2, and 4% inulin can affect body weight gain, feed intake, food conversion rate, immunological parameters, serum biochemical parameters, and composition and dynamics of the cecal microbiota of Tegel broiler chickens using quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization (qFISH). We showed that inulin inclusion has a negative effect on growth performance parameters before day 21 and a positive effect subsequently up to day 42. Quantitative FISH data revealed an age-dependent change in the cecal microbiota in the control broilers fed no inulin. Thus, relative abundances of Firmicutes and Actinobacteria decreased from 52.8 to 48.3% of total cells and from 8.7 to 1.4% at days 7 and 42, respectively. However, relative abundances of Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria gradually increased from 9.3 to 26.9% of the total cells and from 10.7 to 21.1%, respectively, over the same periods. Inulin inclusion appeared to lower the relative abundances of Lactobacillus johnsonii and Bifidobacterium species at an early bird age, but it subsequently significantly (P < 0.05) increased their relative abundances. Such increases positively correlated with body weight gain of the birds, determined after day 21. Thus, dietary supplementation with inulin together with the addition of L. johnsonii and Bifidobacterium (B. gallinarum and B. pullorum) cultures at an early age may help overcome its early negative influence on growth performance. We believe that these findings can improve our knowledge on how inulin can change the intestinal microbiota of broiler chickens and help in developing an inulin feeding regime to optimize its beneficial role in chicken development.

Abstract
Prebiotics are food components that are selectively fermented by beneficial microbiota and which confer a health benefit. The aim of the study was to select a prebiotic for the chosen probiotic strains to create a synbiotic. The impact of prebiotics (inulin, maltodextrin, corn starch, β-glucan, and apple pectin) on five Lactobacillus spp. strains' growth and metabolites synthesis (lactic, acetic, propionic, and butyric acids, ethanol, and acetaldehyde) was tested by the plate count method and by high-performance liquid chromatography, respectively. Moreover, the differences in the ratio of D(-) and L(+) lactate isomers produced by Lactobacillus spp., as well as variations in the probiotics' enzymatic profiles associated with the prebiotic used for cultivation, were determined with a Megazyme rapid assay kit and API® ZYM assay, accordingly. Finally, the influence of the carbon source (prebiotic) used on the antagonistic activity of the probiotic strains towards pathogenic bacteria, such as Salmonella spp. or Listeria monocytogenes was analyzed in the co-cultures. The results showed that the growth, metabolic profile, and antagonistic activity of the probiotics towards selected pathogens were the most favorable when 2% (w/v) of inulin was used. Therefore, the combination of inulin with selected probiotics is a promising synbiotic mixture.

Abstract
Many studies suggest that probiotic, prebiotic and symbiotic foods may be beneficial in the prevention and management of nutrition and health, the objective of this work was to develop a symbiotic drink based on coconut water. Fermentation was performed using lyophilized Lactobacillus rhamnosus SP1 and inulin as a source of soluble fiber. Different formulations were developed, determining the concentrations of fiber and probiotics. The growth of the probiotic in MRS broth was evaluated, using the plate counting technique in different periods of time. The fermentation time of the drink was 8 h and the shelf life in refrigeration was 14 days evaluated by pH and hedonic scale. The pH of the final drink was 3.48 and the probiotic content was 82 × 10 8 CFU/ml. It is concluded that coconut water can be processed by adding probiotic and prebiotic characteristics with sensory acceptance and adequate preservation characteristics.

Abstract
Probiotic drink like yoghurt from dairy milk is one of the most popular functional food. However, some people are not able to consume dairy milk due to lactose intolerance. Thus, a substitute substrate such as fruit juice, is needed. It refers to prebiotic compounds that are found in some of fruits like banana and guava. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of fermented banana and guava juices on the viability of fecal microflora. The juices were made from banana or red guava fermented by Lactobacillus casei (15% v/v). In vitro test was conducted using indigenous human fecal bacteria (1% w/v). The viability of enteropathogens, lactic acid bacteria (LAB), and total microbes was determined by enumeration as well as the prebiotic index of the fermented juices. The in vitro test results showed that both fermented juices could elevate the total microbes and LAB as compared to control sample. The viability of the total microbes and LAB increased by 2.16 log CFU/mL and 2.90 log CFU/mL for fermented banana juice (FBJ), respectively. The same trend was also observed in fermented guava juice (FGJ) with an increase by 1.92 log CFU/mL for total microbes and 2.99 log CFU/mL for LAB. Interestingly, both fermented juice could decrease the population of most enteropathogens compared to control sample. FBJ could decrease the population of E. coli, Klebsiella sp. and Salmonella as low as 3.78, 3.32, and 1.37 log CFU/mL respectively. Meanwhile, FGJ could drop the number of E. coli (1.44 log CFU/mL), and Klebsiella sp. (1.29 log CFU/mL). Moreover, the prebiotic index for FBJ and FGJ were 2.57 and 2.16. In conclusion, both FBJ and FGJ were potential substrate for probiotic drink and had good effect for fecal microflora health.
