Characterization and probiotic potential of lactic acid bacteria isolated from dadiah sampled in West Sumatra

Characterization of Autochthonous Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated from a Traditional Ethiopian Beverage, Tella

This study aimed to isolate lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from a traditional Ethiopian fermented product, Tella, and evaluate their functional properties. Of forty-three isolates, seven LAB were screened and identified as Pediococcus pentosaceus, Latilactobacillus curvatus, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum species. The isolates were tested for their alcohol tolerance, acid and bile resistance, auto-aggregation, co-aggregation, hydrophobicity, antibacterial activity, and antibiotic susceptibility. LAB isolates, specifically P. pentosaceus TAA01, L. mesenteroides TDB22, and L. plantarum TDM41, showed a higher degree of alcohol tolerance in 8% and 10% (w/v) ethanol concentrations. Additionally, these three isolates displayed survival rates >85% in both acidic pH and bile environments. Among the isolates, L. plantarum TDM41 demonstrated the highest auto-aggregation, co-aggregation, and hydrophobicity with (44.9 ± 1.7)%, (41.4 ± 0.2)%, and (52.1 ± 0.1)% values, respectively. The cell-free supernatant of the isolates exhibited antibacterial activity against foodborne pathogens of Escherichia coli, Salmonella Enteritidis, and Staphylococcus aureus. Each isolate exhibited various levels of resistance and susceptibility to seven antibiotics and resistance was observed against four of the antibiotics tested. After performing a principal component analysis, Pediococcus pentosaceus TAA01, L. mesenteroides TDB22, and L. plantarum TDM41 were selected as the most promising ethanol-tolerant probiotic isolates.

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum HY7718 Improves Intestinal Integrity in a DSS-Induced Ulcerative Colitis Mouse Model by Suppressing Inflammation through Modulation of the Gut Microbiota

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic condition that causes persistent inflammation in the digestive system, is closely associated with the intestinal microbiome. Here, we evaluated the effects of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum HY7718 (HY7718) on IBD symptoms in mice with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis. Oral administration of HY7718 led to significant improvement in the disease activity index score and the histological index, as well as preventing weight loss, in model mice. HY7718 upregulated the expression of intestinal tight junction (TJ)-related genes and downregulated the expression of genes encoding pro-inflammatory cytokines and genes involved in the TLR/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway. Additionally, HY7718 reduced the blood levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, as well as reversing DSS-induced changes to the composition of the intestinal microbiome. HY7718 also increased the percentage of beneficial bacteria (Lactiplantibacillus and Bifidobacterium), which correlated positively with the expression of intestinal TJ-related genes. Finally, HY7718 decreased the population of pathogens such as Escherichia, which correlated with IBD symptoms. The data suggest that HY7718 improves intestinal integrity in colitis model mice by regulating the expression of TJ proteins and inflammatory cytokines, as well as the composition of the intestinal microflora. Thus, L. plantarum HY7718 may be suitable as a functional supplement that improves IBD symptoms and gut health.

The anti-inflammatory activity of probiotic Dadiah to activate Sirtuin-1 in inhibiting diabetic nephropathy progression

Purpose

The activation of SIRT-1 in the kidney has become a new therapeutic target to increase resistance to many causal factors in DN development. Furthermore, antioxidative stress and anti-inflammation are essential to preventing renal fibrosis in DN. Therefore, finding "probiotic products" to treat and prevent DN is necessary. This study aimed to analyze the anti-inflammatory of probiotic dadiah to activate SIRT-1 in inhibiting DN progression.

Methods

This study is an experimental group designed with a post-test-only control group to observe the effect of dadiah, LAB, and bacteriocin on alloxan-induced nephropathy diabetic rats through two control groups and five intervention groups for eight weeks. The expression of antibodies SIRT-1 and TNF-α was examined using Immunohistochemistry and histopathology of kidney tissue. All data were analyzed using ANOVA test.

Results

The treatment of dadiah, lactic acid bacteria, and bacteriocin showed a higher expression of Sirtuin-1 than the positive control. They also, reduce TNF-α expression varies significantly between treatments. The highest average of interstitial fibrosis in the C + groups was substantially different from all groups, but all treatments showed decreased kidney fibrosis. Although all treatments showed a decrease in interstitial kidney fibrosis found in the control group, the treatment using dadiah showed the highest result.

Conclusions

Dadiah has the potential to the prevention of fibrosis on kidney tissue of alloxan-induced nephropathy diabetic rats. The findings could be to develop novel treatments for DN that aim to reduce the cascade of oxidative stress and inflammatory signals in kidney tissue.

Molecular Identification of Lactic Acid Bacteria Approach to Sustainable food Security

BACKGROUND

Dadiah is a traditional dish from West Sumatra made from buffalo milk, which is fermented in bamboo tubes and left at room temperature for ±2 days. Dadiah is included in the staple food category because it contains Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) which has the potential to be a probiotic. This study aims to determine the identification and characterization of LAB from Dadiah from Halaban, Kab. Fifty Cities, West Sumatra.

DESIGN AND METHODS

A survey method was used in this research with a descriptive analysis, Antimicrobial activity testing was done with bacteria Escherichia coli O157, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, and Listeria innocua. Molecular identification was done using the 16S rRNA gene.

RESULTS

Probiotic candidate test with the best results in testing for resistance to stomach acid at pH3 with the viability of 65.98%, bile salt resistance 0.3%, viability of 54.90% from 2DA isolates. Antimicrobial activity with the best clear zone area results was obtained in 2DA isolates with Escherichia coli O157 test bacteria of 21.16 mm, Staphylococcus aureus with a clear zone area of 23.17 mm, Listeria innocua of 19.24 mm and Listeria monocytogenes with a clear zone area 18.23 mm in 4DA isolate, LAB identification using 16S sRNA gene, results of running PCR base length 1419bp.

CONCLUSIONS

Phylogenetic analysis shows that Dadiah of Limapuluh Kota Regency is a kin to Lactobacillus plantarum. The superiority of identification technology by using 16S rRNA gene only can be conducted if the nucleotide sequence information of the targeted bacteria is known beforehand.

Micronutrient Content and Total Lactic Acid Bacteria of Dadiah Pudding as Food Supplementation for Pregnant Women

BACKGROUND: Dadiah, traditional yogurt from Indonesia, which is known as a source of probiotics, also contains micronutrients. AIM: This descriptive study aimed to determine whether additional ingredients and processes during the manufacture of Dadiah pudding maintain the iron, zinc, calcium, and total lactic acid bacteria (LAB) contents. METHODS: Dadiah pudding was made using Dadiah originated from Bukittinggi, West Sumatra. Micronutrient levels were analyzed according to Indonesian National Standard 01-2896-1998. The total LAB were counted by inoculating samples on Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe agar with serial dilution, and morphological identification was carried out using gram stain. RESULTS: In 100 g of original Dadiah, mango and chocolate Dadiah pudding contained 347.98, 276.61, and 279.29 mg of calcium; 4.87, 3.75, and 6.31 mg of zinc; 6.53, 6.60, and 9.39 mg of iron; and 6.4 × 10⁹, 6.1 × 10⁹, and 2.4 × 10⁹ CFU/ml LAB, respectively. CONCLUSION: This study found that modifying the original Dadiah into Dadiah pudding has been proved to affect the concentration of calcium, zinc, and iron and to maintain total LAB. We suggest that consuming Dadiah pudding may be a good choice as a food supplementation for pregnant women to optimize the golden period outcomes.
