Abstract
The lack of vitamin B12 in unprocessed plant-based foods can lead to health problems in strict vegetarians and vegans. The main aim of this study was to investigate the potential synergy of co-culturing Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis and Propionibacterium freudenreichii in improving production of vitamin B12 and short-chain fatty acids in soy whey. Different strategies including mono-, sequential and simultaneous cultures were adopted. Growth, short-chain fatty acids and vitamin B12 were assessed throughout the fermentation while free amino acids, volatiles, and isoflavones were determined on the final day. P. freudenreichii monoculture grew well in soy whey, whereas B. lactis monoculture entered the death phase by day 4. Principal component analysis demonstrates that metabolic changes in both sequential cultures did not show drastic differences to those of P. freudenreichii monoculture. However, simultaneous culturing significantly improved vitamin B12, acetic acid and propionic acid contents (1.3 times, 5 times, 2.5 times, compared to the next highest treatment [sequential cultures]) in fermented soy whey relative to other culturing modes. Hence, co-culturing of P. freudenreichii and B. lactis would provide an alternative method to improve vitamin B12, acetic acid and propionic acid contents in fermented foods.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a worldwide epidemic associated with metabolic disorders and intestinal microbiota alterations. Polysaccharides have been considered to be beneficial to the prevention and alleviation of T2D. In the present study, ultra-performance liquid chromatography-triple-time-of-flight-based metabolomics and proteomics and 16S rRNA sequencing methods were employed to evaluate the effects of glucomannans from Dendrobium officinale stem, konjac, and Aloe vera leaves on host metabolism and intestinal microbiota regulation in type 2 diabetic rats and potential mechanisms. The metabolism of amino acids was significantly disturbed in the type 2 diabetic rats, especially the upregulated branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism. Host-derived BCAA metabolism was significantly decreased in type 2 diabetic rats. However, the levels of BCAAs in host circulation and gene abundance of BCAA biosynthesis in gut microbiota were significantly increased in diabetic rats, which suggested that the disturbed intestinal microbiota might be responsible for the increased circulation of BCAAs in T2D. Glucomannan treatment decreased the abundance of microbial BCAA biosynthesis-related genes and ameliorated the host BCAA metabolism. Also, glucomannan with a higher molecular weight and a lower ratio of mannose/glucose possessed better antidiabetic effects. In summary, the antidiabetic effects of glucomannans might be associated with the amelioration of BCAA metabolism by modulating intestinal microbiota.
