Digestive characteristics of extracellular polysaccharide from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum T1 and its regulation of intestinal microbiota.
International journal of biological macromolecules(2024)
摘要
This study assessed the potential prebiotic characteristics of the previously reported Lactiplantibacillus plantarum extracellular polysaccharide (EPS-T1) with immunological activity. EPS-T1 was a novel heteropolysaccharide composed of glucose and galactose (1.00:1.21), with a molecular weight of 1.41 × 106 Da. The monosaccharide composition, molecular weight, fourier transform infrared, and 1H NMR analysis showed that EPS-T1 was well tolerated in the simulated oral cavity, gastric fluid, and small intestinal fluid environments, and was not easily degraded. Meanwhile, EPS-T1 could effectively be used as a carbon source to promote the growth of beneficial Lactobacillus species (Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. Bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnose GG, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei and Lactobacillus reuteri). After 24 h of fecal fermentation, EPS-T1(5 mg/mL) effectively reduced the relative abundance of harmful bacteria such as the Escherichia-Shigella, Citrobacter, Fusobacterium, Parasutterella, and Lachnoclostridium. While, the level content of beneficial flora (Bacteroides, Blautia, Phascolarctobacterium, Bifidobacterium, Parabacteroides, and Subdoligranulum) were significantly increased. In addition, EPS-T1 was able to significantly promote the enrichment of short-chain fatty acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid. These results provide some basis for the functional application of EPS-T1 as a potential prebiotic.
