Screening of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 67 with Strong Adhesion to Caco-2 Cells and the Effects of Protective Agents on Its Adhesion Ability during Vacuum Freeze Drying. Foods 2023; 12:3604. [PMID: 37835257 PMCID: PMC10572606 DOI: 10.3390/foods12193604] [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: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/23/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Adhesion to the intestinal tract provides the foundation for Lactobacillus to exert its benefits. Vacuum freeze-drying (VFD) is currently one of the main processing methods for Lactobacillus products. Therefore, the effects of VFD on the adhesion and survival of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 67 were investigated in this study. The results show that L. plantarum 67 exhibits remarkable tolerance following successive exposure to simulated saliva, gastric juice and intestinal juice, and also has a strong adhesion ability to Caco-2 cells. The adhesion and survival rates of L. plantarum 67 significantly decreased after VFD in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), whereas they significantly increased in protective agents (PAs) (p < 0.05). Scanning electron microscope observations show that L. plantarum 67 aggregated more to Caco-2 cells in PAs than in PBS, and its shape and size were protected. Proteomics detection findings indicated that differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) related to adhesins and vitality and their pathways in L. plantarum 67 were significantly affected by VFD (p < 0.05). However, the expression of DEPs (such as cold shock protein, cell surface protein, adherence protein, chitin-binding domain and extracellular transglycosylase, membrane-bound protein) was improved by PAs. Compared with PBS, the PAs significantly adjusted the phosphotransferase system and amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism pathways (p < 0.05). VFD decreased the adhesion and vitality of L. plantarum 67, while the PAs could exert protective effects by regulating proteins and pathways related to adhesion and vitality.

The regulation of simulated artificial oro-gastrointestinal transit stress on the adhesion of Lactobacillus plantarum S7. Microb Cell Fact 2023; 22:170. [PMID: 37660047 PMCID: PMC10474686 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-023-02174-3] [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: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/09/2023] [Indexed: 09/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Oro-gastrointestinal stress in the digestive tract is the main stress to which orally administered probiotics are exposed. The regulation of oro-gastrointestinal transit (OGT) stress on the adhesion and survival of probiotics under continuous exposure to simulated salivary-gastric juice-intestinal juice was researched in this study. RESULTS Lactobacillus plantarum S7 had a higher survival rate after exposure to simulated OGT1 (containing 0.15% bile salt) stress and OGT2 (containing 0.30% bile salt) stress. The adhesion ability of L. plantarum S7 was significantly increased by OGT1 stress (P < 0.05) but was not changed significantly by OGT2 stress (P > 0.05), and this trend was also observed in terms of the thickness of the surface material of L. plantarum S7 cells. The expression of surface proteins of L. plantarum S7, such as the 30 S ribosomal proteins, mucus-binding protein and S-layer protein, was significantly downregulated by OGT stress (P < 0.05); meanwhile, the expression of moonlight proteins, such as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), phosphoglycorate kinase (PGK), beta-phosphoglucomutase (PGM1), GroEL and glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (PGI), was significantly upregulated (P < 0.05). However, the upregulation of GAPDH, PGK, PGM1 and PGI mediated by OGT1 stress was greater than those mediated by OGT2 stress. The quorum sensing pathway of L. plantarum S7 was changed significantly by OGT stress compared with no OGT stress cells (P < 0.05), and the expression of Luxs in the pathway was significantly upregulated by OGT1 stress (P < 0.05). The ABC transportation pathway was significantly altered by OGT1 stress (P < 0.05), of which the expression of the peptide ABC transporter substrate-binding protein and energy-coupling factor transporter ATP-binding protein EcfA was significantly upregulated by OGT stress (P < 0.05). The glycolide metabolism pathway was significantly altered by OGT1 stress compared with that in response to OGT2 stress (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION L. plantarum S7 had a strong ability to resist OGT stress, which was regulated by the proteins and pathways related to OGT stress. The adhesion ability of L. plantarum S7 was enhanced after continuous exposure to OGT1 stress, making it a potential probiotic with a promising future for application.

Effects of Nutrients on the Growth of and Free Exopolysaccharide Biosynthesis by Streptococcus thermophilus 937 in a Chemically Defined Medium. Curr Microbiol 2023; 80:331. [PMID: 37634211 DOI: 10.1007/s00284-023-03421-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
The free exopolysaccharide (f-EPS) produced by Streptococcus thermophilus is a natural texture modifier with health-promoting properties and has thus become one of the most interesting metabolites for researchers. The present work aimed to further understand the nutritional requirements for the growth of and the f-EPS production by S. thermophilus. The types and concentrations of compounds in the complete chemically defined medium were changed in turn to evaluate the effects of single nutrients on the growth of and f-EPS production by S. thermophilus 937. The results showed that cysteine, glutamine, histidine, methionine, tryptophan, tyrosine, leucine, isoleucine, and valine played an important role in maintaining the rapid and stable growth of S. thermophilus 937. S. thermophilus 937 also required calcium pantothenate, niacin, pyridoxine, riboflavin, and thiamine hydrochloride as essential nutrients for growth. Increases in the concentrations of lactose, glutamate, histidine, or isoleucine significantly increased the production of free exopolysaccharide by S. thermophilus 937, and when the lactose concentration increased to 20 g·L-1 and the concentration of the three-amino-acid combination increased to 15 mM, the f-EPS yield increased to a maximum of 35.34 μg·mL-1. This finding indicated that lactose and the 3 amino acids exert synergistic effects on the promotion of f-EPS production. In addition, lactose and the three amino acids have strain specific promoting effects on f-EPS production by S. thermophilus. This study provides a further understanding of the effects of nutrients on the biosynthesis of f-EPS by S. thermophilus.

Abstract
Texture and flavour are the key attributes determining sensory quality and are highly affected by starter cultures. A selection of phenotypic strains is needed to create diverse texture and flavour to meet consumers' preferences. In this study, the use of five lactic acid bacteria strains in the production of fermented milk, along with the metabolite profiles, microstructure, and rheological properties of the fermented milk samples, was investigated. Our results showed that Lactobacillus helveticus (LH) and Streptococcus thermophilus (ST) had a stronger acidification during fermentation but resulted in products with a coarser protein network compared to Lactococcus lactis (BL1) and Leuconostoc mesenteroides (CL3). Milk fermented by LH had the highest viscosity and exopolysaccharide concentration, while milk fermented by ST had the highest concentration of diacetyl. Although Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides (CL3ST) had a minimal acidification capability, it produced high levels of ethyl-derived compounds associated with sweet, fruity, and floral fragrances. The results demonstrated that LH and ST could be used as starter cultures targeting fermented milks with different viscosities, while BL1, CL3, and CL3ST are suitable as adjunct cultures to impact different acidic sharpness and flavour notes.

Beneficial effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 fermented milk on rats with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. J Dairy Sci 2023; 106:1533-1548. [PMID: 36710180 DOI: 10.3168/jds.2022-22383] [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: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
A growing stream of research suggests that probiotic fermented milk has a good effect on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This work aimed to study the beneficial effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 fermented milk (fermented milk) on rats with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease induced by a high-fat diet. The results showed that the body weight and the serum levels of total cholesterol, total glyceride, low-density lipoprotein, alanine transaminase, aspartate aminotransferase, free fatty acid, and reactive oxygen species were significantly increased in rats fed a high-fat diet (M) for 8 wk, whereas high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and superoxide dismutase were significantly decreased. However, the body weight and the serum levels of total cholesterol, total glyceride, alanine transaminase, aspartate aminotransferase, free fatty acid, reactive oxygen species, interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-6 were significantly decreased with fermented milk (T) for 8 wk, and the number of fat vacuoles in hepatocytes was lower than that in the M group. There were significant differences in 19 metabolites in serum between the M group and the C group (administration of nonfermented milk) and in 17 metabolites between the T group and the M group. The contents of 7 different metabolites, glycine, glycerophosphocholine, 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, thioetheramide-PC, d-aspartic acid, oleic acid, and l-glutamate, were significantly increased in the M group rat serum, and l-palmitoyl carnitine, N6-methyl-l-lysine, thymine, and 2-oxadipic acid were significantly decreased. In the T group rat serum, the contents of 8 different metabolites-1-O-(cis-9-octadecenyl)-2-O-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, acetylcarnitine, glycine, glycerophosphocholine, 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, d-aspartic acid, oleic acid, and l-glutamate were significantly decreased, whereas creatinine and thymine were significantly increased. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis showed that 50 metabolic pathways were enriched in the M/C group and T/M group rat serum, of which 12 metabolic pathways were significantly different, mainly distributed in lipid metabolism, amino acid, and endocrine system metabolic pathways. Fermented milk ameliorated inflammation, oxygenation, and hepatocyte injury by regulating lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolic pathways, and related metabolites in the serum of rats with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Transcriptome-phenotype matching analysis of how nitrogen sources influence Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus tolerance to heat stress and oxidative stress. Microb Cell Fact 2022; 21:257. [PMID: 36510221 PMCID: PMC9746023 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-022-01985-0] [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: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Spray drying is the most cost-effective production method for lactic acid bacteria starters, but heat and oxidative stresses result in low survival rates. The heat stress and oxidative stress tolerance of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus cultured in tryptone-free MRS (NP-MRS) broth was much stronger than that in MRS or tryptone-free MRS broth supplemented with phenylalanine (Phe-MRS). Here, multiple transcriptome-phenotype matching was performed on cells cultured in NP-MRS, MRS and Phe-MRS broths to reveal the mechanism by which nitrogen sources influence L. rhamnosus tolerance to heat stress and oxidative stress. RESULTS Compared with cells cultured in NP-MRS broth, 83 overlapping differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were downregulated by either tryptone or phenylalanine. The overlapping DEGs were mainly classified into carbohydrate metabolism and membrane transport pathways, which are often repressed by glucose during carbon catabolite repression (CCR). In the presence of glucose, the heat stress or oxidative stress tolerance of L. rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 was not strengthened by supplementation with secondary carbohydrates. Replacing glucose with mannose, fructose or ribose improved the heat stress and oxidative stress tolerance of L. rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 (5 to 46-fold). CONCLUSIONS Alleviation of CCR might be a reason for the resistance of L. rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 to heat stress and oxidative stress in a low-nitrogen environment. The survival rate of L. rhamnosus during spray drying will hopefully be improved by relieving CCR. It is a new discovery that nitrogen sources influence CCR in L. rhamnosus.

Effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 Fermented Milk on Lipid Metabolism Disorders in High-Fat-Diet Rats. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14224850. [PMID: 36432537 PMCID: PMC9698387 DOI: 10.3390/nu14224850] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Revised: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
To further explore and improve the mechanism of probiotics to alleviate the disorder of lipid metabolism, transcriptomic and metabolomic with bioinformatic analysis were combined. In the present study, we successfully established a rat model of lipid metabolism disorder using a high-fat diet. Intervention with Lactobacillus rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 fermented milk resulted in a significant reduction in body weight, serum free fatty acid and blood lipid levels (p < 0.05), which predicted that the lipid metabolism disorder was alleviated in rats. Metabolomics and transcriptomics identified a total of 33 significantly different metabolites and 183 significantly different genes screened in the intervention group compared to the model group. Comparative analysis of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway annotations identified a total of 61 pathways in which differential metabolites and genes were jointly involved, with linoleic acid metabolism, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism and glutamatergic synapse in both transcriptome and metabolome being found to be significantly altered (p < 0.05). Lactobacillus rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 fermented milk was able to directly regulate lipid metabolism disorders by regulating the metabolic pathways of linoleic acid metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, fatty acid biosynthesis, alpha-linolenic acid metabolism, fatty acid degradation, glycerolipid metabolism and arachidonic acid metabolism. In addition, we found that Lactobacillus rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 fermented milk indirectly regulates lipid metabolism through regulating amino acid metabolism, the nervous system, the endocrine system and other pathways. Lactobacillus rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 fermented milk could alleviate the disorders of lipid metabolism caused by high-fat diet through multi-target synergy.

Abstract
It has been found that 32 genes related to nitrogen source metabolism in Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus are downregulated under both heat stress and oxidative stress. In this study, the influence of different nitrogen sources within the growth medium on the tolerance of L. rhamnosus to heat stress and oxidative stress was investigated. Tryptone-free MRS was found to enhance the tolerance of L. rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 to heat stress and oxidative stress during the whole growth period, and this result was universal for all L. rhamnosus species analyzed. The strongest strengthening effect occurred when the OD600 value reached 2.0, at which the survival rates under heat stress and oxidative stress increased 130-fold and 40-fold, respectively. After supplementing phenylalanine, isoleucine, glutamate, valine, histidine, or tryptophan into the tryptone-free MRS, the tolerance of L. rhamnosus to heat stress and oxidative stress exhibited a sharp drop. The spray drying survival rate of L. rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 cultured in the tryptone-free MRS rose to 75% (from 30%), and the spray dried powder also performed better in the experimentally simulated gastrointestinal digestion. These results showed that decreasing the intake of amino acids is an important mechanism for L. rhamnosus to tolerate heat stress and oxidative stress. When L. rhamnosus is cultured for spray drying, the concentration of the nitrogen source's components should be an important consideration.

Abstract
Free exopolysaccharide (f-EPS) produced by Streptococcus thermophilus improves the texture and functionality of fermented dairy foods. Our previous study showed a major improvement in f-EPS production of Strep. thermophilus 937 by increasing the concentrations of histidine, isoleucine, and glutamate to 15 mM in an optimized chemically defined medium. The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of His, Ile, and Glu on the growth, f-EPS biosynthesis pathway, and carbohydrate metabolism profiles of Strep. thermophilus 937. The growth kinetics; transcript levels of key genes in the EPS biosynthesis pathway; enzyme activity involved in sugar nucleotide synthesis; concentrations of lactic acid, lactose, and galactose; and extracellular and intracellular pH were analyzed in chemically defined media with different initial histidine, isoleucine, and glutamate concentrations. The results showed that f-EPS production and viable cell counts of Strep. thermophilus 937 increased 2-fold after the concentrations of His, Ile, and Glu were increased. Additionally, increasing the concentrations of His, Ile, and Glu upregulated transcription of EPS biosynthesis genes and increased the activity of key enzymes in sugar nucleotide synthesis. Moreover, the consumption of lactose increased and secretion of galactose decreased, indicating that increasing the concentration of His, Ile, and Glu could enhance f-EPS production by maintaining viable cell counts, promoting sugar nucleotide synthesis, and increasing the transcript levels of the eps gene cluster. Our results provide a better understanding of the effect of AA on EPS biosynthesis in Strep. thermophilus.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Kefir is an acidic-alcoholic fermented milk that can provide probiotic benefits, such as intestinal microecological balance regulation, antibacterial activity, and anti-inflammatory activity. In this study, Lactobacillus fermentum grx08 isolated from longevous people was used to further improve the health properties of kefir. L. fermentum grx08 and kefir grains obtained from Xinjiang, People's Republic of China, were mixed at ratios of 1:1, 5:1, and 25:1 as starters. The six gram-positive and gram-negative foodborne pathogens were able to grow in the supernatant of kefir but not in the supernatant of kefir with L. fermentum grx08. With increasing amounts of inoculated L. fermentum grx08, the antibacterial activity of the mixed fermented kefir gradually increased. The contents of lactic acid, fumaric acid, and malic acid in the mixed fermented milk were significantly increased by adding L. fermentum grx08 (P < 0.05), while the content of acetic acid decreased with the increase of L. fermentum grx08 and the content of citric acid was unaffected. This study suggests that the addition of L. fermentum grx08 shortened the fermentation time, improved the acidity, and retained the quality of fermented milk. Moreover, the antibacterial properties of kefir is enhanced by increasing the production of certain acids. HIGHLIGHTS

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the level of exopolysaccharide (EPS) biosynthesis and gastrointestinal tolerance of 12 Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strains. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, the EPS production and survival rate of 12 strains of L. plantarum under gastrointestinal stress were determined. Results showed that the EPS biosynthesis level of L. plantarum in semi-defined medium ranged from 9.84 to 26.05 mg/L. The survival rates of all strains in simulated gastric juice at pH 3.0 ranged from 43.52% to 112.73%. Among them, eight strains were higher than 90%, while only one strain was lower than 50%. The survival rates of all strains in simulated intestinal juice ranged from 50.36% to 125.39%, among which eight strains were higher than 80%. The survival rates of all strains under 0.1% bile salt stress ranged from 3.39% to 109.34%, among which four strains were higher than 80% and three strains were lower than 60%. Besides, the survival rates of all strains under 0.5% bile salt stress ranged from 0.42% to 95.34%. The results indicated that the 12 L. plantarum strains had good tolerance to simulated gastric juice at pH 3.0, simulated intestinal juice and 0.1% bile salt. Notably, it was observed that the survival rates of L. plantarum strains under simulated gastric juice at pH 3.0 and simulated intestinal juice were significantly positively correlated with EPS biosynthesis (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION The yield of EPS of L. plantarum was related to simulated gastric juice and simulated intestinal juice environment. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF STUDY It was speculated that the production of EPS may be one of the strategies for L. plantarum to adapt to the part of gastrointestinal environment. In the future, we could analyse the protection mechanism of EPS from the gene level.

Abstract
A long-term high-fat diet (HFD) leads to significant oxidative stress in the body and induces inflammation. A preliminary evidence suggests a potential therapeutic utility of probiotics for this condition. To evaluate the potential effect of Lactobacillus fermentum DALI02 on the oxidative stress and inflammatory damage induced by HFD, we used a hyperlipidemic rat as a model fed with HFD. Results revealed that HFD induced a significant oxidative stress and inflammation. However, results reveal that L. fermentum DALI02, manifested a significant decrease in levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and resistin, while the catalase (CAT), total antioxidant capability (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and adiponectin (ADPN) levels significantly increased. And it was dose-dependent that the effect of high dose groups with high viable count was particularly notable. The results suggest that L. fermentum DALI02 could alleviate oxidative stress and inflammation as it appeared to reduce lipid peroxidation and improved the lipid metabolism in vivo. A long-term high-fat diet (HFD) leads to significant oxidative stress in the body and induces inflammation.![]()

Effects of Single Probiotic- and Combined Probiotic-Fermented Milk on Lipid Metabolism in Hyperlipidemic Rats. Front Microbiol 2019; 10:1312.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that probiotics have positive effects on hyperlipidemia by lowering the serum lipid concentration and improving the lipid profile. To explore the mechanism by which probiotic-fermented milk improves lipid metabolism, the transcription of genes regulated by liver X receptors (LXRs), 5′-AMP-activated protein kinase, and the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), which play integral roles in lipid metabolism, was investigated in hyperlipidemic rats. Compared with rats fed a high-fat diet, the administration of probiotic-fermented milk significantly lowered the levels of total cholesterol (TC) and total triglycerides (TG) in rat serum and viscera (P < 0.05) and significantly increased the level of total bile acid in the rat liver and small intestine (P < 0.05). The quantitative PCR results showed that the probiotics ameliorated the TC levels in the rats by activating the transcription of genes involved in the LXR axis, which promoted TC reverse transport and increased the conversion of TC to bile acids. The level of TG in the hyperlipidemic rats was ameliorated by the inhibition of the transcription of carbohydrate reaction element binding protein genes and activation of the transcription of PPARα genes. The regulation of lipid metabolism-related gene transcription by the single probiotic (Lactobacillus rhamnosus LV108)-fermented milk was more effective than that by the combined probiotic (L. rhamnosus LV108, Lactobacillus casei grx12, and Lactobacillus fermentum grx08)-fermented milk (P < 0.05).
