Abstract
Introduction Folate supplementation is crucial for the human body, and the chemically synthesized folic acid might have undesirable side effects. The use of molecular breeding methods to modify the genes related to the biosynthesis of folate by probiotics to increase folate production is currently a focus of research. Methods In this study, the folate-producing strain of Limosilactobacillus reuteri B1-28 was isolated from human breast milk, and the difference between B1-28 and folA gene deletion strain ΔFolA was investigated by phenotyping, in vitro probiotic evaluation, metabolism and transcriptome analysis. Results The results showed that the folate producted by the ΔFolA was 2-3 folds that of the B1-28. Scanning electron microscope showed that ΔFolA had rougher surface, and the acid-producing capacity (p = 0.0008) and adhesion properties (p = 0.0096) were significantly enhanced than B1-28. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in three pathways, among which the biosynthesis of ribosome and aminoacyl-tRNA occurred in the key metabolic pathways. Metabolomics analysis showed that folA affected 5 metabolic pathways, involving 89 different metabolites. Discussion In conclusion, the editing of a key gene of folA in folate biosynthesis pathway provides a feasible pathway to improve folate biosynthesis in breast milk-derived probiotics.

[PMID: 38136849 PMCID: PMC10741066 DOI: 10.3390/ani13243812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2023] [Revised: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
With the widespread promotion of the green feeding concept of "substitution and resistance", there is a pressing need for alternative products in feed and breeding industries. Employing lactic acid bacteria represents one of the most promising antimicrobial strategies to combat infections caused by pathogenic bacteria. As such, we analyzed the intestinal tract of Anhui local pig breeds, including LiuBai Pig, YueHei Pig, and HuoShou Pig, to determine the composition and diversity of intestinal microbiota using 16S rRNA. Further, the functionality of the pigs' intestinal microbiota was studied through metagenomic sequencing. This study revealed that lactic acid bacteria were the primary contributors to the functional composition, as determined through a species functional contribution analysis. More specifically, the functional contribution of lactic acid bacteria in the HuoShou Pig group was higher than that of the LiuBai Pig and YueHei Pig. Subsequently, the intestinal contents of the HuoShou Pig group were selected for the screening of the dominant lactic acid bacteria strains. Out of eight strains of lactic acid bacteria, the acid-production capacity, growth curve, and tolerance to a simulated intestinal environment were assessed. Additional assessments included surface hydrophobicity, the self-aggregation capability, co-agglutination of lactic acid bacteria with pathogenic bacteria, and an in vitro bacteriostatic activity assay. Lactobacillus johnsonii L5 and Lactobacillus reuteri L8 were identified as having a strong overall performance. These findings serve as a theoretical basis for the further development of pig-derived probiotics, thereby promoting the application of lactic acid bacteria to livestock production.

Inflammatory Bowel Sugar Disease: A Pause From New Pharmacological Agents and an Embrace of Natural Therapy. Cureus 2023; 15:e42786. [PMID: 37664383 PMCID: PMC10469711 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.42786] [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: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, are immune-mediated chronic inflammatory diseases that target the gastrointestinal tract and other distant organs. The incidence of IBDs has been rising and is more prevailing in Western communities. The etiology has been vague, but different theories include environmental factors that elicit an uncontrolled immune response, which damages internal organs. Treatment of either Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis has witnessed significant advances; however, pharmacological drugs' side effects limit their use. Research about microbiota and its influence on IBDs has gained fame, and multiple studies correlate microbiota diversity positively with IBD treatment. Many factors contribute to the microbiota's health, including different diets, antibiotics, prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, and postbiotics. Specific immune responses lie behind the pathogenesis of IBDs and microbiota dysbiosis, and different studies have postulated new ways to control this abnormal response. Physical activity, sun exposure, efficient sleep, intermittent fasting, and supplementation of probiotics and vitamins are natural ways that help modulate this immune response, do not cost money as IBD pharmacological drugs, and do not come with deleterious side effects that are sometimes more harmful than IBDs. Our article proposes a comprehensive natural approach that can benefit IBD patients enormously. This approach does not replace the medications currently used in treating IBDs. The suggested approach can be used in combination with medications and might aid in reducing the doses of those medications.
