Optimizing conditions of mycelial inoculum immobilized in Ca-alginate beads: a case study in ectomycorrhizal fungus Astraeus odoratus. World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 40:238. [PMID: 38858319 DOI: 10.1007/s11274-024-03962-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024]
Abstract
Ectomycorrhizal inoculum has emerged as a critical tool for forest restoration, especially under challenging climate change conditions. The inoculation of selective ectomycorrhizal fungi can enhance seedling survival and subsequent growth in the field. This study optimized the liquid media for mycelial growth of Astraeus odoratus strain K1 and the sodium alginate solution composition for enhanced mycelial viability after entrapment. Using Modified Melin-Norkrans as the optimal media for mycelial cultivation and 2% sodium alginate supplemented with Czapek medium, 0.25% activated charcoal, 5% sucrose, and 5% sorbitol in the alginate solution yielded the highest viability of A. odoratus mycelia. Preservation in distilled water and 10% glycerol at 25 °C for 60 days proved to be the most effective storage condition for the alginate beads. Both fresh and preserved alginate beads were tested for colonizing on Hopea odorata Roxb. seedlings, showing successful colonization and ectomycorrhizal root formation, with over 49% colonization. This study fills a crucial gap in biotechnology and ectomycorrhizal inoculum, paving the way for more effective and sustainable forest restoration practices.

Abstract
Probiotics are essential to improve the health of the host, whereas maintaining the viability of probiotics in harsh environments remains a challenge. Polysaccharides have non-toxicity, excellent biocompatibility, and outstanding biodegradability, which can protect probiotics by forming a physical barrier and show a promising prospect for probiotic delivery. In this review, we summarize polysaccharides commonly used for probiotic microencapsulation and introduce the microencapsulation technologies, including extrusion, emulsion, spray drying, freeze drying, and electrohydrodynamics. We discuss strategies for better protection of probiotics and introduce the applications of polysaccharides-encapsulated probiotics in functional food, oral formulation, and animal feed. Finally, we propose the challenges of polysaccharides-based delivery systems in industrial production and application. This review will help provide insight into the advances and challenges of polysaccharides in probiotic delivery.

Abstract
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a popular vegetable crop which is widely cultivated around the world. However, the production of tomatoes is threatened by several phytopathogenic agents, including gray mold (Botrytis cinerea Pers.). Biological control using fungal agents such as Clonostachys rosea plays a pivotal role in managing gray mold. However, these biological agents can negatively be influenced by environmental factors. However, immobilization is a promising approach to tackle this issue. In this research, we used a nontoxic chemical material, sodium alginate as a carrier to immobilize C. rosea. For this, sodium alginate microspheres were prepared using sodium alginate prior to embedding C. rosea. The results showed that C. rosea was successfully embedded in sodium alginate microspheres, and immobilization enhanced the stability of the fungi. The embedded C. rosea was able to suppress the growth of gray mold efficiently. In addition, the activity of stress related enzymes, peroxidase superoxidase dismutase and polyphenol oxidation was promoted in tomatoes treated with the embedded C. rosea. By measuring photosynthetic efficiency, it was noted that the embedded C. rosea has positive impacts on tomato plants. Taken together, these results indicate that immobilization of C. rosea improved its stability without detrimentally affecting its efficiency on gray mold suppression and tomato growth. The results of this research can be used as a basis for research and development of new immobilized biocontrol agents.

Abstract
Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a vaginal infection caused by abnormal growth of Candida sp., especially Candida albicans, in the vaginal mucosa. A shift in vaginal microbiota is prominent in VVC. The presence of Lactobacillus plays a vital role in maintaining vaginal health. However, several studies have reported resistance of Candida sp. against azoles drugs, which is recommended as VVC treatment. The use of L. plantarum as a probiotic would be an alternative to treat VVC. In order to exert their therapeutic activity, the probiotics needed to remain viable. Multilayer double emulsion was formulated to obtain L. plantarum loaded microcapsules (MCs), thus improving its viability. Furthermore, a vaginal drug delivery system using dissolving microneedles (DMNs) for VVC treatment was developed for the first time. These DMNs showed sufficient mechanical and insertion properties, dissolved rapidly upon insertion, facilitating probiotic release. All formulations proved non-irritating, non-toxic, and safe to apply on the vaginal mucosa. Essentially, the DMNs could inhibit the growth of Candida albicans up to 3-fold than hydrogel and patch dosage forms in ex vivo infection model. Therefore, this study successfully developed the formulation of L. plantarum-loaded MCs with multilayer double emulsion and its combination in DMNs for vaginal delivery to treat VVC.

Abstract
Probiotics are living microorganisms that confer a health benefit on the host when administered in adequate amounts. Streptococcus salivarius, a commensal bacterium found in the oral cavity, has been shown to secrete antimicrobial peptides and can be used as probiotics. This study aimed to develop a delivery system for the probiotic LAB813, a novel S. salivarius strain first identified in the laboratory. Probiotics can be delivered and protected through the encapsulation of biomaterials such as polysaccharides. Their biocompatibility, biodegradability, user-friendliness, and ease of access make polysaccharides useful for encapsulating probiotics. Alginate (Alg) and chitosan (Ch) are naturally obtained polysaccharides and, hence, tested for LAB813 encapsulation. An extrusion method of encapsulation was performed to form Alg microcapsules (Alg-LAB813), some of which were coated with Ch (Alg-LAB813-Ch) to provide dual-layered protection. Inhibitory assays of the Alg-LAB813 and Alg-LAB813-Ch microcapsules were assayed against an indicator strain. Alg-LAB813-Ch microcapsules showed superior antibacterial properties compared to Alg-LAB813 microcapsules over 24 h and when subject to temperatures ranging from 4 to 68 °C. In addition, Alg-LAB813-Ch microcapsules retained antibacterial activity for up to 28 days of storage at 4 °C. The strong and sustained inhibitory activities of Ch-coated Alg encapsulated LAB813 signify the potential for their use to improve oral health.

Abstract
The food and beverage industry is constantly evolving, and consumers are increasingly searching for premium products that not only offer health benefits but a pleasant taste. A viable strategy to accomplish this is through the altering of sensory profiles through encapsulation of compounds with unique flavors. We used this approach here to examine how brewing in the presence of yeast cells encapsulated in alginate affected the sensory profile of beer wort. Initial tests were conducted for various combinations of sodium alginate and calcium chloride concentrations. Mechanical properties (i.e., breaking force and elasticity) and stability of the encapsulates were then considered to select the most reliable encapsulating formulation to conduct the corresponding alcoholic fermentations. Yeast cells were then encapsulated using 3% (w/v) alginate and 0.1 M calcium chloride as a reticulating agent. Fourteen-day fermentations with this encapsulating formulation involved a Pilsen malt-based wort and four S. cerevisiae strains, three commercially available and one locally isolated. The obtained beer was aged in an amber glass container for two weeks at 4 °C. The color, turbidity, taste, and flavor profile were measured and compared to similar commercially available products. Cell growth was monitored concurrently with fermentation, and the concentrations of ethanol, sugars, and organic acids in the samples were determined via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It was observed that encapsulation caused significant differences in the sensory profile between strains, as evidenced by marked changes in the astringency, geraniol, and capric acid aroma production. Three repeated batch experiments under the same conditions revealed that cell viability and mechanical properties decreased substantially, which might limit the reusability of encapsulates. In terms of ethanol production and substrate consumption, it was also observed that encapsulation improved the performance of the locally isolated strain.

Abstract
The potential health benefits of probiotics may not be cognized because of the substantial curtailment in their viability during food storage and passage through the gastrointestinal system. Intestinal flora composition, and resistance against pathogens are among the health benefits associated with probiotic consumption. In the gastric environment, pH 2.0, probiotics dramatically lose their viability during the transit through the gastrointestinal system. The challenge remains to maintain cell viability until it reaches the large intestine. In extreme conditions, such as a decrease in pH or an increase in temperature, encapsulation technology can enhance the viability of probiotics. Probiotic bacterial strains can be encapsulated in a variety of ways. The methods are broadly systematized into two categories, liquid and solid delivery systems. This review emphasizes the technology used in the research and commercial sectors to encapsulate probiotic cells while keeping them alive and the food matrix used to deliver these cells to consumers.

Abstract
Survivability of probiotics is severely affected by harsh gastrointestinal conditions. In the present study, microbeads of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG were formulated using alginate (1.5% w/v) and combination of alginate (1.5% w/v) with xanthan gum (0.5% w/v) through an emulsion technique to improve bacterial viability in low pH orange juice and in gastrointestinal conditions. The microbeads were tested for encapsulation efficiency, survivability in bile salt, SGF (simulated gastric juice), SIF (simulated intestinal fluid), and storage stability. Probiotic orange juice was formulated and tested for physicochemical parameters (pH, titratable acidity, and total sugars) and sensorial properties during storage. Gum-coated alginate microbeads (T3) showed higher encapsulation efficiency, i.e., 95.2% compared to alginate microbeads (T2), i.e., 86.85%. Similarly, T3 showed the highest resistance against bile salt (8.50 log CFU/g), SGF (7.95 log CFU/g), and SIF (8.0 log CFU/g) during 80 min exposure compared to T2 and free cells. The viability of gum-coated alginate beads (T3) remained above 107 CFU/g in gastrointestinal conditions and at the end of 21 days storage (8.3 log CFU/mL). All physicochemical parameters of probiotic juice were significantly (
) decreased with respect to storage except acidity. In addition, minimal changes in physicochemical parameters were observed in T3 compared to other treatments. Treatment had no significant impact on the sensory characteristics of juice, but storage had a significant effect (
) on the sensory characteristics of juice. The alginate gum microbeads improve the survivability of probiotics for targeted delivery. Hence, encapsulated probiotics can be used for functional beverage development to take advantage of their therapeutic benefits.

Abstract
Alginate-based microcapsule has becoming a promising carrier for probiotic encapsulation due to the improved stress resistant ability. Besides the physical protection of microcapsules, bacterial quorum sensing (QS) is another prominent factor affecting microbial stress resistance in microcapsules. In the present study, Vibrio harveyi cells were entrapped and proliferated into cell aggregates in alginate-based microcapsules. The microenvironment composed of cells and biomacromolecules was regulated by the diameter, alginate concentration and core state of microcapsule. Then the effect of microenvironment on bacterial QS capacity was investigated, including bioluminescence, autoinducers (AIs) production and QS related genes expression. The highest diameter of 1200 μm and highest alginate concentration of 2.0 % w/v under the investigation range presented strongest QS capacity, and the maintenance of hydrogel core could enhance bacterial QS. Moreover, the mechanism analysis revealed that the formed biofilm on the surface of cell aggregates hampered the outward transfer of AIs, and the local AIs inside the cell aggregates induced stronger bacteria QS by close-range interaction. As a whole, these findings are helpful to guide the technological development and optimization of microencapsulated probiotics with stronger stress resistance, and the potential application in food, dairy, wastewater treatment and biosensor.

Abstract
Delayed wound healing is one of the most global public health threats affecting nearly 100 million people each year, particularly the chronic wounds. Many confounding factors such as aging, diabetic disease, medication, peripheral neuropathy, immunocompromises or arterial and venous insufficiency hyperglycaemia are considered to inhibit wound healing. Therapeutic approaches for slow wound healing include anti-infection, debridement and the use of various wound dressings. However, the current clinical outcomes are still unsatisfied. In this review, we discuss the role of skin and wound commensal microbiota in the different healing stages, including inflammation, cell proliferation, re-epithelialization and remodelling phase, followed by multiple immune cell responses to commensal microbiota. Current clinical management in treating surgical wounds and chronic wounds was also reviewed together with potential controlled delivery systems which may be utilized in the future for the topical administration of probiotics and microbiomes. This review aims to introduce advances, novel strategies, and pioneer ideas in regulating the wound microbiome and the design of controlled delivery systems.

To tackle this challenge, the current study investigated the potential of using sodium alginate and inulin (SIN) in combination with various encapsulating materials such as skim milk (SKIM), whey protein concentrate (WPC), soy protein concentrate (SPC), and flaxseed oil (FS) to increase the viability of Lactobacillus casei upon freeze-drying, under simulated gastrointestinal conditions, during 28 days of storage at 4°C, and in a formulation of millet yogurt. Microstructural properties of microcapsules and co-microcapsules by SEM, oxidative stability of flaxseed oil in co-microcapsules, and physicochemical and sensory analysis of the product were performed. The produced microcapsules (SIN-PRO-SKIM, SIN-PRO-WP, and SIN-PRO-SP) and co-microcapsules (SIN-PRO-FS-SKIM, SIN-PRO-FS-WP, and SIN-PRO-FS-SP) had a high encapsulation rate >90%. Moreover, encapsulated and co-encapsulated strains exhibited a high in vitro viability accounting for 9.24 log10 CFU/g (SIN-PRO-SKIM), 8.96 log10 CFU/g (SIN-PRO-WP), and 8.74 log10 CFU/g (SIN-PRO-SP) for encapsulated and 10.08 log10 CFU/g (SIN-PRO-FS-SKIM), 10.03 log10 CFU/g (SIN-PRO-FS-WP), and 10.14 log10 CFU/g (SIN-PRO-FS-SP) for co-encapsulated. Moreover, encapsulated and co-encapsulated cells showed higher survival upon storage than free cells. Also, the SEM analysis showed spherical particles of 77.92-230.13 µm in size. The physicochemical and sensory analysis revealed an interesting nutritional content in the millet yogurt. The results indicate that the SIN matrix has significant promise as probiotic encapsulating material as it may provide efficient cell protection while also providing considerable physicochemical and nutritional benefits in functional foods.

Hydrogel Derived from Glucomannan-Chitosan to Improve the Survival of Lactobacillus acidophilus FNCC 0051 in Simulated Gastrointestinal Fluid. ScientificWorldJournal 2022; 2022:7362077. [PMID: 36571080 PMCID: PMC9771654 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7362077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2021] [Revised: 11/20/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The probiotic encapsulating hydrogel derived from porang (Amorphophallus oncophyllus) glucomannan and chitosan was investigated with regard to its encapsulation efficiency, physical properties, prebiotic activity, and survival under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. The hydrogel's encapsulation efficiency was improved by varying the number of the Lactobacillus acidophilus FNCC 0051, which also served to increase the diameter (2-3 mm), polydispersity index (1.23-1.65), positive zeta potential, whiteness, and brightness of the hydrogel. Moreover, the hydrogel's prebiotic activity score was higher than that of inulin after 24 h of incubation, reflecting its role as a cell encapsulant, particularly when it comes to maintaining cells during exposure to simulated gastrointestinal fluid. The cell viability increased from 86% to 100% when immersed in intestinal juice, which is comparable to the increase achieved using alginate and konjac glucomannan hydrogels. Future animal studies are required to determine the cell viability in actual gastrointestinal conditions and assess the health effects of the hydrogel.

Abstract
Probiotics exhibit many health benefits and a great potential for broad applications in pharmaceutical fields, such as prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal tract diseases (irritable bowel syndrome), prevention and therapy of allergies, certain anticancer effects, and immunomodulation. However, their applications are limited by the low viability and metabolic activity of the probiotics during processing, storage, and delivery in the digestive tract. To overcome the mentioned limitations, probiotic delivery systems have attracted much attention. This review focuses on alginate as a preferred polymer and presents recent advances in alginate-based polymers for probiotic delivery systems. We highlight several alginate-based delivery systems containing various types of probiotics and the physical and chemical modifications with chitosan, cellulose, starch, protein, fish gel, and many other materials to enhance their performance, of which the viability and protective mechanisms are discussed. Withal, various challenges in alginate-based polymers for probiotics delivery systems are traced out, and future directions, specifically on the use of nanomaterials as well as prebiotics, are delineated to further facilitate subsequent researchers in selecting more favorable materials and technology for probiotic delivery.

A Mild Method for Encapsulation of Citral in Monodispersed Alginate Microcapsules. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14061165.

Abstract
Citral is a typical UV-irritation and acid-sensitive active and here we develop a mild method for the encapsulation of citral in calcium alginate microcapsules, in which UV irritation or acetic acid is avoided. Monodispersed oil-in-water-in-oil (O/W/O) emulsions are generated in a capillary microfluidic device as precursors. The middle aqueous phase of O/W/O emulsions contains sodium alginate, calcium-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA-Ca) complex as the calcium source, and D-(+)-Gluconic acid δ-lactone (GDL) as the acidifier. Hydrolysis of GDL will decrease the pH value of the middle aqueous solution, which will trigger the calcium ions released from the EDTA-Ca complex to cross-link with alginate molecules. After the gelling process, the O/W/O emulsions will convert to alginate microcapsules with a uniform structure and monodispersed size. The preparation conditions for alginate microcapsules are optimized, including the constituent concentration in the middle aqueous phase of O/W/O emulsions and the mixing manner of GDL with the alginate-contained aqueous solution. Citral-containing alginate microcapsules are successfully prepared by this mild method and the sustained-release characteristic of citral from alginate microcapsules is analyzed. Furthermore, a typical application of citral-containing alginate microcapsules to delay the oxidation of oil is also demonstrated. The mild gelling method provides us a chance to encapsulate sensitive hydrophobic actives with alginate, which takes many potential applications in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic areas.

Novel Developments on Stimuli-Responsive Probiotic Encapsulates: From Smart Hydrogels to Nanostructured Platforms. FERMENTATION 2022.

Abstract
Biomaterials engineering and biotechnology have advanced significantly towards probiotic encapsulation with encouraging results in assuring sufficient bioactivity. However, some major challenges remain to be addressed, and these include maintaining stability in different compartments of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), favoring adhesion only at the site of action, and increasing residence times. An alternative to addressing such challenges is to manufacture encapsulates with stimuli-responsive polymers, such that controlled release is achievable by incorporating moieties that respond to chemical and physical stimuli present along the GIT. This review highlights, therefore, such emerging delivery matrices going from a comprehensive description of addressable stimuli in each GIT compartment to novel synthesis and functionalization techniques to currently employed materials used for probiotic’s encapsulation and achieving multi-modal delivery and multi-stimuli responses. Next, we explored the routes for encapsulates design to enhance their performance in terms of degradation kinetics, adsorption, and mucus and gut microbiome interactions. Finally, we present the clinical perspectives of implementing novel probiotics and the challenges to assure scalability and cost-effectiveness, prerequisites for an eventual niche market penetration.
