Yuan M, Zhang Z, Liu T, Feng H, Liu Y, Chen K. The Role of Nondigestible Oligosaccharides in Alleviating Human Chronic Diseases by Regulating the Gut Microbiota: A Review. Foods 2024; 13:2157. [PMID: 38998662 PMCID: PMC11241040 DOI: 10.3390/foods13132157] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2024] [Revised: 06/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The gut has been a focus of chronic disease research. The gut microbiota produces metabolites that act as signaling molecules and substrates, closely influencing host health. Nondigestible oligosaccharides (NDOs), as a common dietary fiber, play an important role in regulating the structure and function of the gut microbiota. Their mechanism of action is mainly attributed to providing a carbon source as specific probiotics, producing related metabolites, and regulating the gut microbial community. However, due to the selective utilization of oligosaccharides, some factors, such as the type and structure of oligosaccharides, have different impacts on the composition of microbial populations and the production of metabolites in the colon ecosystem. This review systematically describes the key factors influencing the selective utilization of oligosaccharides by microorganisms and elaborates how oligosaccharides affect the host's immune system, inflammation levels, and energy metabolism by regulating microbial diversity and metabolic function, which in turn affects the onset and progress of chronic diseases, especially diabetes, obesity, depression, intestinal inflammatory diseases, and constipation. In this review, we re-examine the interaction mechanisms between the gut microbiota and its associated metabolites and diseases, and we explore new strategies for promoting human health and combating chronic diseases through dietary interventions.

Abstract
The rampant use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multidrug resistance and is often coupled with gut dysbiosis. To circumvent the harmful impact of antibiotics, probiotics have emerged as an effective intervention. However, while the new probiotics are being added to the list, more recently, the nature and role of their counterparts, viz. prebiotics, postbiotics and parabiotics have also drawn considerable attention. As such, intricate relationships among these gut-biotics vis-à-vis their role in imparting health benefits is to be delineated in a holistic manner. Prebiotic dietary fibers are selectively fermented by probiotics and promote their colonization in the gut. The proliferation of probiotics leads to production of fermentation by-products (postbiotics) which affect the growth of enteropathogens by lowering the pH and producing inhibitory bacteriocins. After completing life-cycle, their dead remnants (parabiotics e.g. exopolysaccharides and cell wall glycoproteins) also inhibit adhesion and biofilm formation of pathogens on the gut epithelium. These beneficial effects are not just endemic to gut but a systemic response is witnessed at different gut-organ axes. Thus, to decipher the role of probiotics, it is imperative to unravel the interdependence between these components. This review elaborates on the recent advancements on various aspects of these gut-biotics and the mechanism of potential attributes like anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-neoplastic, anti-lipidemic and anti-hyperglycemic benefits.

Abstract
Achieving and maintaining a healthy gut microbiome has numerous benefits for the host. Host diet plays a key role in shaping the gut microbial community, and understanding how diet composition influences gut microbiome structure and stability is key to developing effective interventions to treat gut microbiome dysbiosis. We use the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) as a model system to dissect the response of gut microbes to host diet modification. Here, we designed synthetic diets from lab-grade, purified ingredients to identify how the cockroach gut community responds to different carbohydrate components (chitin, methylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, pectin, starch, xylan) in otherwise balanced diets. Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, we show that synthetic diets produce replicable shifts in the cockroach gut community diversity and phylogenetic composition, with xylan-fed insects displaying the largest alterations. Comparison with cockroaches fed whole-food diets reveal that, rather than introducing new microbes, synthetic diets alter microbiome composition by inducing blooms among taxa present basally within the cockroach gut community. Synthetic diets are also associated with less-robust, more fragmentary microbial co-occurrence networks compared to cockroaches fed whole-food diets. Our results highlight the utility of lab-grade artificial diets in microbiome research and shed light on how purified polysaccharides may exert more influence over a stable gut community to generate noticeable change than whole food-derived fibers.

Abstract
Evidence-based research has confirmed the role of gastrointestinal microbiota in regulating intestinal inflammation. These data have generated interest in developing microbiota-based therapies for the prevention and management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Despite in-depth understanding of the etiology of IBD, it currently lacks a cure and requires ongoing management. Accumulating data suggest that an aberrant gastrointestinal microbiome, often referred to as dysbiosis, is a significant environmental instigator of IBD. Novel microbiome-targeted interventions including prebiotics, probiotics, fecal microbiota transplant, and small molecule microbiome modulators are being evaluated as therapeutic interventions to attenuate intestinal inflammation by restoring a healthy microbiota composition and function. In this review, the effectiveness and challenges of microbiome-centered interventions that have the potential to alleviate intestinal inflammation and improve clinical outcomes of IBD are explored.

Abstract
Poor efficiency of dietary fibre utilization not only limits global pork production profit margin but also adversely affects utilization of various dietary nutrients. Poor efficiency of dietary nutrient utilization further leads to excessive excretion of swine manure nutrients and results in environmental impacts of emission of major greenhouse gases (GHG), odor, nitrate leaching and surface-water eutrophication. Emission of the major GHG from intensive pork production contributes to global warming and deteriorates heat stress to pigs in tropical and sub-tropical swine production. Exogenous fibre enzymes of various microbial cellulases, hemicellulases and pectinases have been well studied and used in swine production as the non-nutritive gut modifier feed enzyme additives in the past over two decades. These research efforts have aimed to improve growth performance, nutrient utilization, intestinal fermentation as well as gut physiology, microbiome and health via complementing the porcine gut symbiotic microbial fibrolytic activities towards dietary fibre degradation. The widely reported exogenous fibre enzymes include the singular use of respective cellulases, hemicellulases and pectinases as well as their multienzyme cocktails. The currently applied exogenous fibre enzymes are largely limited by their inconsistent in vivo efficacy likely due to their less defined enzyme stability and limited biochemical property. More recently characterized monomodular, multifunctional and processive endoglucanases have the potential to be more efficaciously used as the next-generation designer fibre biocatalysts. These newly emerging multifunctional and processive endoglucanases have the potential to unleash dietary fibre sugar constituents as metabolic fuels and prebiotics, to optimize gut microbiome, to maintain gut permeability and to enhance performance in pigs under a challenged environment as well as to parallelly unlock biomass to manufacture biofuels and biomaterials.

Abstract
Two experiments were conducted using 120 pigs to test the hypothesis that supplementation of β-mannanase could reduce digesta viscosity, enhance nutrient digestion, and improve intestinal health and growth of nursery pigs. In experiment 1, 48 crossbred barrows were randomly allotted to four treatments with increasing levels of β-mannanase at 0, 200, 400, and 600 U/kg in feeds. All pigs were euthanized on day 12 to collect jejunal digesta to measure digesta viscosity and ileal digesta to measure apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of dry matter (DM), gross energy (GE), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and acid detergent fiber (ADF). In experiment 2, 72 nursery pigs were randomly allotted to three treatments with increasing levels of β-mannanase at 0, 400, and 600 U/kg in feeds. Plasma collected on day 9 was used to measure tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), immunoglobulin G (IgG), malondialdehyde (MDA), and protein carbonyl (PC). All pigs were euthanized on day 10 to collect duodenal and jejunal tissues to evaluate the production of TNF-α, IL-6, and MDA, morphology, crypt cell proliferation, and expression of tight junction proteins in the jejunum. Data were analyzed using the MIXED procedure for polynomial contrasts and the NLMIXED procedure for broken-line analysis of SAS. In experiment 1, β-mannanase supplementation tended to have quadratic effects on digesta viscosity (P = 0.085) and AID of GE (P = 0.093) in the pigs. In experiment 2, jejunal digesta viscosity of the pigs was reduced (P < 0.05) when β-mannanase was supplemented at 360 U/kg of feed. β-Mannanase supplementation linearly reduced (P < 0.05) TNF-α, IgG, MDA, and PC in the duodenum, and TNF-α, IgG, and MDA in the jejunum of the pigs. β-Mannanase supplementation linearly increased (P < 0.05) villus height to crypt depth ratio and crypt cell proliferation in the jejunum. β-Mannanase supplementation tended to linearly improve (P = 0.083) expression of zonula occludens-1 in the jejunum. In conclusion, supplementation of β-mannanase at 360 U/kg reduced the digesta viscosity and up to 600 U/kg positively affected intestinal health and growth of pigs by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress whilst enhancing structure and barrier function in the jejunum.

Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the prebiotic effect of xylo-oligosaccharide (XOS) supplemented in a corn-soybean meal (SBM) based conventional diet on growth performance, intestinal histomorphology, and quantification of specific bacteria in the ceca of broilers. A total of 240 d of hatch Cobb 500 male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 4 dietary treatments (corn-SBM-based control diet) containing 0, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2% XOS. The broilers were raised for 21 d in 6 replicate cages, each containing 10 birds. Growth performance parameters were obtained weekly. Additionally, small intestinal tissues were collected to evaluate histomorphometry and whole ceca were collected to quantify bacterial populations on D21. The results showed that inclusion of XOS has similar body weight (BW), body weight gain (BWG), feed intake (FI), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) as the control group during the 21-day study. The results further indicate a tendency for the jejunum villus to crypt ratio (VH:CD) to increase in birds given 0.05 and 0.2% XOS (P = 0.08). Cecal bacteria quantification showed a linear increase in Bifidobacterium with increasing XOS levels (P < 0.0001) and a decrease Clostridium perfringens levels compared to birds fed the control diet (P < 0.0001). However, there were no differences in the total counts of Lactobacillus and E. coli. Together these results showed that while there were no differences in growth parameters up to 21 d, the histomorphology findings and the increase in Bifidobacterium, along with the reduction in C. perfringens observed in the XOS groups, suggest a beneficial impact of XOS inclusion on gut health. Further research with longer feeding periods and higher XOS levels should be conducted to explore potential positive effects on both growth and gut health parameters.

Abstract
β-mannanase catalyzes the hydrolysis of mannans β-1,4-mannosidic linkages to produce industrially relevant oligosaccharides. These enzymes have numerous important applications in the detergent, food, and feed industries, particularly those that are resistant to harsh environmental conditions such as salts and heat. While, moderately salt-tolerant β-mannanases are already reported, existence of a high halotolerant β-mannanase is still elusive. This study aims to report the first purification and characterization of ManH1, an extremely halotolerant β-mannanase from the halotolerant B. velezensis strain H1. Electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI-Q-TOF-MS) analysis revealed a single major peak with a molecular mass of 37.8 kDa demonstrating its purity. The purified enzyme showed a good thermostability as no activity was lost after a 48 h incubation under optimal conditions of 50 °C and pH 5.5. The enzyme's salt activation nature was revealed when its maximum activity was obtained in the presence of 4 M NaCl, it doubled compared to the no-salt condition. Moreover, NaCl strengthens its resistance to thermal denaturation, as its melting temperature (Tm) increased steadily with increasing NaCl concentrations reaching 75.5 °C in the presence of 2.5 M NaCl. The Km and Vmax values were 5.63 mg/mL and 333.33 µmol/min/mL, respectively, using carob galactomannan (CG) as a substrate. The enzyme showed a significant ability to produce manno-oligosaccharides (MOS) from lignocellulosic biomass releasing 13 mg/mL of reducing sugars from olive mill wastes (OMW) after 24 h incubation. The results revealed that this enzyme may have significant commercial values for agro-waste treatment, and other potential applications.

Abstract
Secondary varieties of date fruits are often discarded because they do not have commercial value. However, their phytochemicals are very similar to those of the primary ones and therefore, they can be valorized as a source of compounds of interest, mainly phenols and dietary fiber. Their chemical composition changes with ripening, so their characterization throughout this process is of great significance. Date fruit samples were harvested at Khalal, Rutab, and Tamer stages, and a mixture of fruits from ornamental date trees was also analyzed. Aqueous and ethanolic extracts were studied for their phenolic composition. In aqueous extracts, phenols decreased with ripening, while in the ethanolic ones having higher phenolic content. Chelidonic acid, a γ-pyrone, was the major compound found in all extracts, but in the ethanolic ones, flavonoids were also present in similar amounts. After purification by adsorption chromatography, all extracts were assayed for their antimicrobial activity. Those from the Tamer stage showed the highest activity, especially against Gram-positive bacteria. The fibrous residues after aqueous and ethanolic extractions were also characterized. Their chemical composition suggested that they can be considered as a good source of prebiotic arabinoxylans and antioxidant fiber, whose antiradical activity correlated with their phenolic content. Date fruits from secondary varieties are promising as a worthwhile starting point for obtaining new value-added products.

Abstract
In recent years, concerns about a good-quality diet have increased. Food supplements such as prebiotics have great nutritional and health benefits. Within the diverse range of prebiotics, xylooligosaccharides (XOs) show high potential, presenting exceptional properties for the prevention of systemic disorders. XOs can be found in different natural sources; however, their production is limited. Lignocellulosic biomasses present a high potential as a source of raw material for the production of XOs, making the agro-industrial by-products the perfect candidates for production on an industrial scale. However, these biomasses require the application of physicochemical pretreatments to obtain XOs. Different pretreatment methodologies are discussed in terms of increasing the production of XOs and limiting the coproduction of toxic compounds. The advance in new technologies for XOs production could decrease their real cost (USD 25-50/kg) on an industrial scale and would increase the volume of market transactions in the prebiotic sector (USD 4.5 billion). In this sense, new patents and innovations are being strategically developed to expand the use of XOs as daily prebiotics.

Ravn JL, Ristinmaa AS, Coleman T, Larsbrink J, Geijer C. Yeasts Have Evolved Divergent Enzyme Strategies To Deconstruct and Metabolize Xylan. Microbiol Spectr 2023; 11:e0024523. [PMID: 37098941 PMCID: PMC10269524 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.00245-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 04/08/2023] [Indexed: 04/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Together with bacteria and filamentous fungi, yeasts actively take part in the global carbon cycle. Over 100 yeast species have been shown to grow on the major plant polysaccharide xylan, which requires an arsenal of carbohydrate active enzymes. However, which enzymatic strategies yeasts use to deconstruct xylan and what specific biological roles they play in its conversion remain unclear. In fact, genome analyses reveal that many xylan-metabolizing yeasts lack expected xylanolytic enzymes. Guided by bioinformatics, we have here selected three xylan-metabolizing ascomycetous yeasts for in-depth characterization of growth behavior and xylanolytic enzymes. The savanna soil yeast Blastobotrys mokoenaii displays superior growth on xylan thanks to an efficient secreted glycoside hydrolase family 11 (GH11) xylanase; solving its crystal structure revealed a high similarity to xylanases from filamentous fungi. The termite gut-associated Scheffersomyces lignosus, in contrast grows more slowly, and its xylanase activity was found to be mainly cell surface-associated. The wood-isolated Wickerhamomyces canadensis, surprisingly, could not utilize xylan as the sole carbon source without the addition of xylooligosaccharides or exogenous xylanases or even co-culturing with B. mokoenaii, suggesting that W. canadensis relies on initial xylan hydrolysis by neighboring cells. Furthermore, our characterization of a novel W. canadensis GH5 subfamily 49 (GH5_49) xylanase represents the first demonstrated activity in this subfamily. Our collective results provide new information on the variable xylanolytic systems evolved by yeasts and their potential roles in natural carbohydrate conversion. IMPORTANCE Microbes that take part in the degradation of the polysaccharide xylan, the major hemicellulose component in plant biomass, are equipped with specialized enzyme machineries to hydrolyze the polymer into monosaccharides for further metabolism. However, despite being found in virtually every habitat, little is known of how yeasts break down and metabolize xylan and what biological role they may play in its turnover in nature. Here, we have explored the enzymatic xylan deconstruction strategies of three underexplored yeasts from diverse environments, Blastobotrys mokoenaii from soil, Scheffersomyces lignosus from insect guts, and Wickerhamomyces canadensis from trees, and we show that each species has a distinct behavior regarding xylan conversion. These findings may be of high relevance for future design and development of microbial cell factories and biorefineries utilizing renewable plant biomass.

Effect of prebiotics administered during embryo development on mitochondria in intestinal and immune tissues of adult broiler chickens. Poult Sci 2023; 102:102663. [PMID: 37030257 PMCID: PMC10105484 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2023.102663] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 03/11/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Mitochondria are cellular organelles that are the place of many metabolic processes and thus have a significant impact on the proper functioning of the organism. These organelles respond easily to environmental stimuli and cellular energy demands. To ensure the proper functioning of mitochondria, a high supply of specific nutrients is needed. Literature reports suggest that a favorable profile of the intestinal microbiota may improve the functioning of the mitochondria. The gut microbiota transmits a signal to the mitochondria of the mucosa cells. This signaling alters mitochondrial metabolism, activates cells of the immune system, and alters intestinal epithelial barrier functions. The aim of the study is to determine the relative number of mtDNA copies and to analyze the mitochondrial expression of genes related to respiratory chain proteins and energy metabolism in the intestinal mucosa and cecal tonsils of broiler chickens injected on the d 12 of egg incubation with various prebiotics. 300 incubated eggs of Ross 308 broiler chicken on d 12 of incubation were injected with: control group with physiological saline, prebiotics: XOS3, XOS4, MOS3, and MOS4. On d 42 after hatching, 8 individuals from each group were sacrificed. Cecal mucosa and cecal tonsils were collected postmortem for DNA and RNA isolation. Relative mitochondrial DNA copy number analysis was performed by qPCR method using 2 calculation methods. Gene expression analysis of the cecal tonsils and cecal mucosa was performed by RT-qPCR for the gene panel selected based on literature data and gene functions related to mitochondria: CS, EPX (MPO), CYCS, TFAM, NRF1, ND2, MnSOD (SOD2). As the results showed the overall mt DNA copy number is stable in both tissues. The significant change in gene expression in cecal mucosa was induced by XOS4 and MOS3. Both prebiotics caused upregulation of gene expression. In cecal tonsils all prebiotics caused downregulation of entire set of genes under the analysis. Statistically significant results of gene expression were detected for CYCS, ND2, NRF, TFAM for all experimental groups.

Abstract
This work aimed to isolate and characterize xylans from branches and leaves of Protium puncticulatum, in addition to evaluating its in vitro biological and prebiotic potential. The results showed that the chemical structure of the obtained polysaccharides is similar being classified as homoxylans. The xylans presented an amorphous structure, in addition to being thermally stable and presenting a molecular weight close to 36 g/mol. With regard to biological activities, it was observed that xylans were able to promote low antioxidant activity (< 50%) in the different assays evaluated. The xylans also showed no toxicity against normal cells, in addition to being able to stimulate cells of the immune system and showing promise as anticoagulant agents. In addition to presenting promising antitumor activity in vitro. In assays of emulsifying activity, xylans were able to emulsify lipids in percentages below 50%. Regarding in vitro prebiotic activity, xylans were able to stimulate and promote the growth of different probiotics. Therefore, this study, in addition to being a pioneer, contributes to the application of these polysaccharides in the biomedical and food areas.

Abstract
Evidence-based dietary guidance around dietary fiber in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been limited owing to insufficient reproducibility in intervention trials. However, the pendulum has swung because of our increased understanding of the importance of fibers in maintaining a health-associated microbiome. Preliminary evidence suggests that dietary fiber can alter the gut microbiome, improve IBD symptoms, balance inflammation, and enhance health-related quality of life. Therefore, it is now more vital than ever to examine how fiber could be used as a therapeutic strategy to manage and prevent disease relapse. At present, there is limited knowledge about which fibers are optimal and in what form and quantity they should be consumed to benefit patients with IBD. Additionally, individual microbiomes play a strong role in determining the outcomes and necessitate a more personalized nutritional approach to implementing dietary changes, as dietary fiber may not be as benign as once thought in a dysbiotic microbiome. This review describes dietary fibers and their mechanism of action within the microbiome, details novel fiber sources, including resistant starches and polyphenols, and concludes with potential future directions in fiber research, including the move toward precision nutrition.

Cross-Feeding and Enzymatic Catabolism for Mannan-Oligosaccharide Utilization by the Butyrate-Producing Gut Bacterium Roseburia hominis A2-183. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10122496. [PMID: 36557749 PMCID: PMC9784577 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10122496] [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: 10/21/2022] [Revised: 12/01/2022] [Accepted: 12/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
β-Mannan is abundant in the human diet and in hemicellulose derived from softwood. Linear or galactose-substituted β-mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS/GMOSs) derived from β-mannan are considered emerging prebiotics that could stimulate health-associated gut microbiota. However, the underlying mechanisms are not yet resolved. Therefore, this study investigated the cross-feeding and metabolic interactions between Bifidobacterium adolescentis ATCC 15703, an acetate producer, and Roseburia hominis A2-183 DSMZ 16839, a butyrate producer, during utilization of MOS/GMOSs. Cocultivation studies suggest that both strains coexist due to differential MOS/GMOS utilization, along with the cross-feeding of acetate from B. adolescentis E194a to R. hominis A2-183. The data suggest that R. hominis A2-183 efficiently utilizes MOS/GMOS in mono- and cocultivation. Notably, we observed the transcriptional upregulation of certain genes within a dedicated MOS/GMOS utilization locus (RhMosUL), and an exo-oligomannosidase (RhMan113A) gene located distally in the R. hominis A2-183 genome. Significantly, biochemical analysis of β-1,4 mannan-oligosaccharide phosphorylase (RhMOP130A), α-galactosidase (RhGal36A), and exo-oligomannosidase (RhMan113A) suggested their potential synergistic role in the initial utilization of MOS/GMOSs. Thus, our results enhance the understanding of MOS/GMOS utilization by potential health-promoting human gut microbiota and highlight the role of cross-feeding and metabolic interactions between two secondary mannan degraders inhabiting the same ecological niche in the gut.

Abstract
Organic acid pretreatments can efficiently separate biomass-based hemicellulose and selectively produce hemicellulose-derived sugars. In this study, hemicellulose is separation as xylose, oligosaccharides in the tropic acid-catalyzed hydrothermal pretreatment of eucalyptus. The maximum yield of hemicellulose-derived sugars (85.78 %) with 71.25 % xylose selectivity (based on the total xylose in raw material) was achieved in the hydrolysate under optimal conditions (5 % TA, 160 ℃, 80 min). The yield of hemicellulose-derived sugar and the separation yield of hemicellulose increased by 11.06 % and 11.45 % compared with glycolic acid pretreatment in the similar severity factor. The separation yield of cellulose and lignin was decreased by 4.23 % and 0.98 %, respectively. This resulted in residual solids with higher biological stability (higher fiber crystallinity index, higher thermal stability, and higher lignin content). Therefore, higher hemicellulose separation selectivity and rich hemicellulose-derived sugars were obtained using TA pretreatment. The work would bring up a new method for biomass refining.

Abstract
Brewers’ spent grain or BSG is a fiber and protein rich food-grade side stream that has remained underutilized due to its poor technological and sensory characteristics. In this study, BSG was fermented with Weissella confusa A16 in presence of sucrose to induce the synthesis of dextran and maltosyl-isomaltooligosaccharides. Fermented BSG with or without the above polysaccharides was used as ingredient in wheat bread. Digestion of BSG breads was simulated in vitro with Simulator of Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem, and levels of fecal metabolites were analyzed. Enrichment of BSG breads with in situ dextran and maltosyl-isomaltooligosaccharides improved the baking quality compared to native BSG. Metabolism of free amino acids and synthesis of short chain fatty acids varied at different stages and parts of colon. The increase in butyric acid was similar in both the proximal and distal colon. In situ dextran and maltosyl-isomaltooligosaccharides, and higher content of proteins and fiber in BSG breads had a positive influence towards gut microbiota functionality. Along with several essential amino acids, an increase in amount of γ-aminobutyric acid was also observed after simulated digestion. BSG breads had a significant effect on the gut metabolome during in vitro digestion, showing increased production of microbial metabolites with potential health benefits.

Abstract
Two α-L-arabinofuranosidases (BfdABF1 and BfdABF3) and a β-D-xylosidase (BfdXYL2) genes were cloned from Bifidobacterium dentium ATCC 27679, and functionally expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3). BfdABF1 showed the highest activity in 50 mM sodium acetate buffer at pH 5.0 and 25°C. This exo-enzyme could hydrolyze p-nitrophenyl arabinofuranoside, arabino-oligosaccharides (AOS), arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides (AXOS) such as 32-α-L-arabinofuranosyl-xylobiose (A3X), and 23-α-Larabinofuranosyl-xylotriose (A2XX), whereas hardly hydrolyzed polymeric substrates such as debranched arabinan and arabinoxylans. BfdABF1 is a typical exo-ABF with the higher specific activity on the oligomeric substrates than the polymers. It prefers to α-(1,2)-L-arabinofuranosidic linkages compared to α-(1,3)-linkages. Especially, BfdABF1 could slowly hydrolyze 23,33-di-α-L-arabinofuranosyl-xylotriose (A2+3XX). Meanwhile, BfdABF3 showed the highest activity in sodium acetate at pH 6.0 and 50°C, and it has the exclusively high activities on AXOS such as A3X and A2XX. BfdABF3 mainly catalyzes the removal of L-arabinose side chains from various AXOS. BfdXYL2 exhibited the highest activity in sodium citrate at pH 5.0 and 55°C, and it specifically hydrolyzed p-nitrophenyl xylopyranoside and xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS). Also, BfdXYL2 could slowly hydrolyze AOS and AXOS such as A3X. Based on the detailed hydrolytic modes of action of three exo-hydrolases (BfdABF1, BfdABF3, and BfdXYL2) from Bf. dentium, their probable roles in the hemiceulloseutilization system of Bf. dentium are proposed in the present study. These intracellular exo-hydrolases can synergistically produce L-arabinose and D-xylose from various AOS, XOS, and AXOS.

Abstract
Although gut dysbiosis had been demonstrated to be an important factor affecting hyperuricemia (HUA) and gout, little is known for its potential mechanistic connections. In this study, Uox-KO mice model that with spontaneously developed pronounced HUA and urate nephropathy was used to explore the pathophysiologic mechanism of microbiota alterations in HUA and gout with integrated multi-omics analysis. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed to characterize the characteristic bacteria, and untargeted LC/MS analysis was applied to reveal the featured metabolites. Our results showed there was a significant shift in gut microbiota composition and function in Uox-KO mice compared to WT mice and apparent metabolomics differences between the two groups. Among them, amino acids metabolism appears to play a critical role. Correlation analysis further revealed that the characteristic metabolites were strongly influenced by the discrepant bacterial genera. Furthermore, impairment of intestinal integrity and profound alterations in the profile of solute carrier family resulted in dysregulation of amino acids transportation, which subsequently impacted serum uric acid level and CD4+ Th17 driven inflammation. Together, these data indicate that gut dysbiosis promotes purine metabolism disorder and inflammation in Uox-KO mice. Remodeling the gut microbiota is a promising strategy to combat HUA and gout.

Abstract
Oligosaccharides are low-molecular-weight carbohydrates with crucial physical, chemical, and physiological properties, which are increasingly important in the fields of food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and biomedicine. Pretreating biomass in a cost-effective way is a significant challenge for oligosaccharides research. Hydrothermal pretreatment is a potentially eco-friendly technology to obtain oligosaccharides by deconstructing biomass. In this work, we compared the differences between hydrothermal pretreatment and the traditional pretreatment method. The fundamentals and classification of hydrothermal pretreatment, as well as the latest studies on hydrothermal preparation of oligosaccharides, were further reviewed and evaluated to provide a theoretical basis for the production and application of oligosaccharides. Some challenges and future trends to develop green and large-scale hydrothermal pretreatment were proposed for the production of oligosaccharides.
