RESUMEN
The bioactivity of polysaccharide was closely related to its fermentation utilization by gut Bacteroides, and its utilization degree was determined by various gut Bacteroides species and different polysaccharides characteristics. The effects of longan polysaccharide (LP) and LP treated by ultrasonic-assisted hydrogen peroxide for 8 h (DLP-8) on gut Bacteroides growth, and their fermentation utilization were compared. The results of LP and DLP-8 on the proliferation of six Bacteroides species showed that Bacteroides uniformis had the highest proliferation index. In fermentation by B. uniformis, DLP-8 (with a lower molecular weight), the viable count of which was higher than that of LP, was degraded more and especially utilized more glucose and glucuronic acid. The microstructure of the two polysaccharides changed differently during fermentation. Moreover, DLP-8 promoted greater short-chain fatty acids production than LP. These results indicated that the fermentation properties of DLP-8 by B. uniformis were superior to those of LP.
RESUMEN
Red pitaya has been demonstrated to strongly inhibit α-glucosidase activity; however, the impact of red pitaya fermentation by probiotic bacteria on α-glucosidase inhibition remains unclear. In this study, six strains of lactic acid bacteria (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lacticaseibacillus casei, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Streptococcus thermophilus) and one strain of Bifidobacterium breve were utilized for the fermentation of red pitaya pulp. The α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibition rates of red pitaya pulp were significantly greater after fermentation by Bifidobacterium breve and Lacticaseibacillus casei than by the other abovementioned strains. The LC group exhibited an α-glucosidase inhibition rate of 99%, with an α-amylase inhibition rate of 89.91%. In contrast, the BB group exhibited an α-glucosidase inhibition rate of 95.28%, accompanied by an α-amylase inhibition rate of 95.28%. Moreover, red pitaya pulp fermented with Bifidobacterium breve and Lacticaseibacillus casei produced a notable quantity of oligosaccharides, which was more than three times greater than that in the other groups. Furthermore, 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing analysis was conducted to assess alterations in the composition of the gut microbiota. This revealed an increase in the abundance of Lactobacillus and Faecalibacterium in the pulp fermented by Bifidobacterium breve and Lacticaseibacillus casei, whereas the abundance of Sutterella decreased. Further analysis at the species level revealed that Bifidobacterium longum, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, and Lactobacillus zeae were the dominant strains present during colonic fermentation. These results indicate a beneficial health trend associated with probiotic bacterial fermentation of red pitaya pulp, which is highly important for the development of functional products.
RESUMEN
Lactobacillus strains have emerged as promising probiotics for enhancing the bioactivities of plant-based foods associated with flavonoid biotransformation. Employing microbial fermentation and mass spectrometry, we explored flavonoid metabolism in lychee pulp fermented separately by Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Limosilactobacillus fermentum. Two novel metabolites, 3,5,7-trihydroxychromone and catechol, were exclusively identified in L. plantarum-fermented pulp. Concomitant with consumption of catechin and quercetin glycosides, dihydroquercetin glycosides, 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid and p-hydroxyphenyllactic acid were synthesized by two strains through hydrogenation and fission of C-ring. Quantitative analysis revealed that bound phenolics were primarily located in water-insoluble polysaccharides in lychee pulp. Quercetin 3-O-rutinoside was partially liberated from water-insoluble polysaccharides and migrated to water-soluble polysaccharides during fermentation. Meanwhile, substantial accumulations in short-chain fatty acids (increased 1.45 to 3.08-fold) and viable strains (increased by 1.97 to 2.00 Log10 CFU/mL) were observed in fermentative pulp. These findings provide broader insight into microbial biotransformation of phenolics and possible guidance for personalized nutrition.

Rutin is a polyphenol with beneficial pharmacological properties. However, its bioavailability is often compromised due to low solubility and poor stability. Encapsulation technologies, such as emulsion systems, have been proven to be promising delivery vehicles for enhancing the bioavailability of bioactive compounds. Thus, this study was proposed and designed to investigate the colonic targeting and colonic fermentation characteristics of rutin-loaded ovalbumin-ferulic acid-polysaccharide (OVA-FA-PS) complex emulsions. The results indicate that OVA-FA-PS emulsion effectively inhibits the degradation of rutin active substances and facilitates its transport of rutin to the colon. The analysis revealed that the OVA-FA-κ-carrageenan emulsion loaded with rutin exhibited superior elasticity and colon targeting properties compared to the OVA-FA-hyaluronic acid or OVA-FA-sodium alginate emulsions loaded with rutin in the composite emulsion. Additionally, it was observed that the rutin loaded within the OVA-FA-κ-carrageenan emulsion underwent degradation and was converted to 4-hydroxybenzoic acid during colonic fermentation.

The free and bound phenolic profiles and their bioactivities of radix puerariae thomsonii (RPT) cultivars from 7 growing regions in China were investigated. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were from 148.71 to 435.32 mg gallic acid equivalents /100 g dry weight and 561.93 to 826.11 mg catechin equivalents /100 g dry weight, respectively, with 20.64-38.28% and 32.77-47.29% contribution from bound fractions. Sixteen phenolic compounds were detected in RPTs. Bound fractions contributed 28.15-70.84% to the total antioxidant activities. The cultivars from Qiannan and Guangzhou showed much higher regulatory effects on carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes and alcohol metabolizing enzymes than the other cultivars. The bound fractions exhibited equivalent EC50 values for alcohol metabolizing enzymes and IC50 values for carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes to the free fractions in RPT cultivars. Therefore, bound phenolics significantly contributed to the potential health benefits of RPT. The results provided information for the utilization of RPT for health promoting purpose.
RESUMEN
Radix puerariae thomsonii (RPT) contains many phenolics and exhibits various health benefits. Although the free phenolics in RPT have been identified, the composition and content of bound phenolics, which account for approximately 20% of the total phenolic content, remain unknown. In this study, 12 compounds were isolated and identified from RPT-bound phenolic extracts, of which 2 were novel and 6 were reported first in RPT. ORAC and PSC antioxidant activities of 12 compounds, as well as their effects on alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), α-glucosidase, and α-amylase were evaluated. Genistein exhibited the highest ORAC activity, while daidzin demonstrated superior PSC activity. Five compounds, including two new compounds, exhibited the ability to activate both ADH and ALDH. All the compounds except 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid methyl ester and 2,4,4'-trihydroxydeoxybenzoin demonstrated inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase and α-amylase. Alkaline hydrolysis and stepwise enzymatic hydrolysis revealed that bound phenolics in RPT mainly exist within starch.

A highly sensitive quantitative PCR (qPCR) method was developed for detection and quantification of Bacillus velezensis HMB26553 in cotton rhizosphere. The study aimed to develop a quantitative detection method for the strain HMB26553, and explore the relationship between its colonization of the cotton rhizosphere and its control effect. The whole genome sequence of strain HMB26553 was obtained by genome sequencing and a unique specific sequence pB-gene0026 on plasmid plaBV2 was identified by using high-throughput alignment against NCBI. Plasmid plaBV2 could be stably genetically inherited. Based on this sequence, specific primers for amplifying 106 bp and a minor groove binder (MGB) TaqMan probe for enhancing sensitivity were designed. The copy number of plaBV2 in strain HMB26553, which was 2, was confirmed by internal reference primers and the MGB TaqMan probe based on housekeeping gene gyrB. The established detection technique based on these primers and probes had high specificity and sensitivity compared to traditional plate counting method, with a detection limit of 1.5 copy genome. Using this method, the study discovered a likely correlation between the quantity of colonization in cotton rhizosphere and efficacy against cotton damping-off caused by Rhizoctonia after seed soaking and irrigation with strain HMB26553. Thus, this method provides scientific support for the rational application of strain HMB26553 in the future.

In this study, litchi polysaccharides were obtained from unfermented or fermented pulp by Lactobacillus fermentum (denoted as LP and LPF, respectively). The differences between LP and LPF in the colonic fermentation characteristics and modulatory of gut microbiota growth and metabolism were investigated with an in vitro fecal fermentation model. Results revealed that the strategies of gut bacteria metabolizing LP and LPF were different and LPF with lower molecular weight (Mw) was readily utilized by bacteria. The monosaccharide utilization sequence of each polysaccharide was Ara > Gla > GalA > GlcA ≈ Glu ≈ Man. Moreover, LPF promoted stronger proliferation of Bifidobacterium, Megamonas, Prevotella, and Bacteroides and higher SCFAs production (especially acetic and butyric acids) than LP. Correlation analysis further revealed that Mw could represent an essential structural feature of polysaccharides associated with its microbiota-regulating effect. Overall, Lactobacillus fermentation pre-treatment of litchi pulp promoted the fermentation characteristics and prebiotic activities of its polysaccharide.

RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Recent studies reveal that dietary fiber (DF) might play a critical role in the metabolism and bioactivity of flavonoids by regulating gut microbiota. We previously found that Shatianyu (Citrus grandis L. Osbeck) pulp was rich in flavonoids and DF, and Shatianyu pulp flavonoid extracts (SPFEs) were dominated by melitidin, obviously different from other citrus flavonoids dominated by naringin. The effects of Shatianyu pulp DF (SPDF) on the microbial metabolism and bioactivity of SPFEs is unknown. RESULTS: An in vitro colonic fermentation model was used to explore the effects of SPDF on the microbial metabolism and antioxidant activity of SPFEs in the present study. At the beginning of fermentation, SPDF promoted the microbial degradation of SPFEs. After 24 h-fermentation, the supplemented SPFEs were almost all degraded in SPFEs group, and the main metabolites detected were the dehydrogenation, hydroxylation and acetylation products of naringenin, the aglycone of the major SPFEs components. However, when SPFEs fermented with SPDF for 24 h, 60.7% of flavonoid compounds were retained, and SPFEs were mainly transformed to the ring fission metabolites, such as 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid, 3-phenylpropionic acid and 3-(3-hydroxy-phenyl) propionic acid. The fermentation metabolites of SPFEs showed stronger antioxidant activity than the original ones, with a further increase in SPDF supplemented group. Furthermore, SPFEs enriched microbiota participating in the deglycosylation and dehydrogenation of flavonoids, while co-supplementation of SPDF and SPFEs witnessed the bloom of Lactobacillaceae and Lactobacillus, contributing to the deglycosylation and ring fission of flavonoids. CONCLUSION: SDPF promote SPFEs to transform to active metabolites probably by regulating gut microbiota. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

OBJECTIVE: The aim was to investigate the changes in retinal and choroidal thickness and vascular density in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). METHODS: Twenty-nine patients with SLE (29 eyes) and 25 control subjects (25 eyes) were enrolled. SLE activity was assessed using the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI). Retinal thickness (RT), inner retinal thickness (IRT), outer retinal thickness (ORT), choroidal thickness (ChT), retinal superficial vascular density (SVD), retinal deep vascular density (DVD), choriocapillary vascular density (CCVD), foveal avascular zone (FAZ), superficial FAZ (sFAZ), and deep FAZ (dFAZ) were measured using OCTA. The retinal and choroidal thickness and vascular density between the control group and SLE group were compared. The relationships between SLEDAI scores and the retinal and choroidal thickness and vascular density in SLE group were analyzed. RESULTS: The SVD was significantly increased, and the DVD and CCVD were significantly decreased in the SLE group compared to the control group (p < .05). The results of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) showed that the area under the curve (AUC) values of SVD, DVD, and CCVD were 0.873, 0.729, and 0.727, indicating a high accuracy in discriminating patients with SLE from controls. Correlation analysis showed that the SLEDAI scores were positively correlated with dFAZ (r = 0.589, p = .001) and FAZ (r = 0.451, p = .018), and negatively correlated with DVD (r = -0.491, p = .009) and CCVD (r = -0.521, p = .005). CONCLUSIONS: DVD and CCVD were decreased in the SLE and might be related to the disease activity. SVD, DVD, and CCVD may hold promise in the discovery of biomarkers for diagnosing SLE.

IMPORTANCE: DNA-based detection and quantification of soil-borne pathogens, such as the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC), plays a vital role in risk assessment, but meanwhile, precise quantification is difficult due to the poor purity and yield of the soil DNA retrieved. The internal sample process control (ISPC) strain RsPC we developed solved this problem and significantly improved the accuracy of quantification of RSSC in different soils. ISPC-based quantitative PCR detection is a method especially suitable for the quantitative detection of microbes in complex matrices (such as soil and sludge) containing various PCR inhibitors and for those not easy to lyse (like Gram-positive bacteria, fungi, and thick-wall cells like resting spores). In addition, the use of ISPC strains removes additional workload on the preparation of high-quality template DNA and facilitates the development of high-throughput quantitative detection techniques for soil microbes.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of the lychee pulp-derived dietary fiber-bound phenolic complex (DF-BPC) on a murine model of loperamide-induced constipation and its molecular mechanism associated with gut microbiota modification. DF-BPC supplementation mitigated loperamide-induced dyschezia, intestinal hypomotility, and colonic impairment, as evidenced by the increased gastro-intestinal transit rate and mucus cell counts. By comparison, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) contents and relative abundances of associated genera (Butyricimonas, Clostridium, and Lactobacillus) were effectively upregulated following DF-BPC supplementation. Notably, DF-BPC significantly enhanced expressions of G protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 41 and 43, reaching 1.43- and 1.62-fold increase, respectively. Neurotransmitter secretions were simultaneously altered in DF-BPC-treated mice, suggesting upregulation of the SCFAs-GPRs-enteric nervous system pathway. The overexpression of aquaporins (AQP3, 8, and 9) was stimulated partly through GPRs activation. Mild inflammation associated with constipation was inhibited by suppressing LBP-TLR4-NF-κB signaling translocation. These findings suggest that DF-BPC from lychee pulp has the potential to alleviate constipation in mice through modifying the gut microbiome.

Glucocorticoids have been widely used in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, but not all patients benefit from this therapy due to hormone resistance. Mir-150-5p has been reported to enhance the efficacy of glucocorticoids, and low serum mir-150-5p expression has been linked to glucocorticoid resistance in ulcerative colitis patients. The aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms of mir-150-5p regulation on glucocorticoid resistance. An ulcerative colitis mouse model was used to evaluate changes in ulcerative colitis symptoms, inflammatory factors, and glucocorticoid resistance-related gene expression. The results showed that mir-150-5p suppression with antagomirs did not significantly interfere with or enhance the induction of ulcerative colitis symptoms by dextran sulfate sodium, but it did attenuate the inflammation inhibitory effect of dexamethasone by abnormally regulating the expression of IL-17a, IL-10, IL-2 and IL-6 levels and myeloperoxidase activity. Mir-150-5p inhibition also induced a glucocorticoid-resistant gene expression profile in colon tissues of ulcerative colitis mice, with upregulation of p-ERK, p-JNK, and HSP90 and downregulation of p-GRa, FKBP4, and HDAC2 expression. Our results indicate that mir-150-5p suppression attenuates the anti-inflammatory effect of glucocorticoids and may function as a driver element in ulcerative colitis glucocorticoid resistance.

Our study investigated heat pump drying (HPD) effects on phenolic-polysaccharide adducts of three lychee pulp grades, their composition and bound phenolic contents. During HPD, the hexose content in water soluble polysaccharide (WSP) increased continuously, and the pentose and glucuronic acid contents in WSP and dilute alkali soluble pectin (ASP) together with the hexose content in ASP increased initially and then decreased due to polysaccharide hydrolases pectinase, polygalacturonase and cellulase. After HPD, the bound phenolic content in WSP, ASP and water unextractable polysaccharide (WUP) significantly increased. Protocatechualdehyde and 3,4-dihydroxybenzeneacetic acid were newly generated phenolics and the former combined with all the three polysaccharide grades, while the latter selectively combined with only WSP. During HPD, WSP and ASP surface structures were gradually broken and became loose, but WUP surface structure was a complete and rough sheet structure. Alkaline hydrolysis caused sparser, more porous surfaces of the three polysaccharide grades. The polyphenol selectivity could be related to substrate selectivity of endogenous oxidases and the type of phenolic compounds.

Lychee pulp phenolics possess excellent biological activities, however, changes in phenolic substances after microbial treatments are unknown. Herein, lychee pulp was fermented by Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and a mixed strain of the two, followed by an investigation of the products' colonic fermentation. In comparison to single-strain fermentation, mixed-strain fermentation significantly increased catechin and quercetin. In addition, lychee phenolics fermented by mixed strains were more conducive to the growth of gut microbiota. The results of HPLC-DAD showed that colonic fermentation further promoted the release of lychee phenolics. There was a notable increase in the content of gallic acid and quercetin, while multiple phenolics were degraded. Quercetin-3-O-rutinose-7-O-α-L-rhamnoside (QRR) and rutin were catabolized into quercetin by gut microbiota, and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid was produced from the metabolism of QRR and procyanidin B2. Lychee phenolics fermented by mixed lactic acid bacteria were easily metabolized and transformed by gut microbiota. These findings indicate that lychee pulp fermented by mixed lactic acid bacteria possesses probiotic potential, which is of great significance for the development of functional probiotic products.
RESUMEN
Quercetin 3-O-rutinose-7-O-α-l-rhamnoside (QRR), a characteristic lychee pulp flavonoid, has been linked to diverse bioactivities involving microbial metabolism. By integrating colonic fermentation and mass spectrometry, the catabolites including 7-O-hydroxyethyl-isorhamnetin and 3'-amino-4'-O-methyl-7-O-hydroxyethyl-isorhamnetin were unprecedently identified and unique to QRR metabolism, relative to the structural analog quercetin 3-O-rutinoside (QR) metabolism. These above-described metabolites highlighted a special biotransformation hydroxyethylation in QRR catabolism. QRR was partially deglycosylated into quercetin 3-O-glucoside-7-O-α-l-rhamnoside potentially catalyzed by Bacteroides. QR was more directly degradable to aglycone during colonic fermentation than are QRR. Unlike with QR fermentation, equivalent QRR effectively upregulated concentrations of propionic and butyric acids that were highly relevant with Faecalibacterium and Coprococcus. After fermentation, the relative abundances of Bacteroides uniformis (0.03%) and Akkermansia muciniphila (0.13%) were only upregulated by QRR among all fermentation groups, leading to the enrichments of the corresponding genera. These results further reveal the relationship between flavonoid structures and metabolic characteristics.

Black rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a great source of anthocyanins and dietary fiber and possesses various health-promoting properties. The modulating effect of insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) from black rice on the fermentation of cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (Cy3G) in an in vitro human colonic model, together with the possible microbiota-mediated mechanisms, was investigated. The combined Cy3G and IDF fermentation can promote the biotransformation of Cy3G into phenolic compounds such as cyanidin and protocatechuic acid with stronger antioxidant activities and increase the total production of SCFAs during the fermentation of Cy3G. 16S rRNA sequencing analysis revealed that the addition of IDF modulated the microbiota structure and bloomed Bacteroidota and Prevotellaceae-related genera, which were positively correlated with metabolites of Cy3G, thus potentially regulating the microbial metabolism of Cy3G. The work is of great significance for elucidating the material basis of the health benefits of black rice.

Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum, is one of the most notorious diseases of cash crops. The use of microbial fungicides is an effective measure for controlling Fusarium wilt, and the genus Bacillus is an important resource for the development of microbial fungicides. Fusaric acid (FA) produced by F. oxysporum can inhibit the growth of Bacillus, thus affecting the control efficacy of microbial fungicides. Therefore, screening FA-tolerant biocontrol Bacillus may help to improve the biocontrol effect on Fusarium wilt. In this study, a method for screening biocontrol agents against Fusarium wilt was established based on tolerance to FA and antagonism against F. oxysporum. Three promising biocontrol bacteria, named B31, F68, and 30833, were obtained to successfully control tomato, watermelon, and cucumber Fusarium wilt. Strains B31, F68, and 30833 were identified as B. velezensis by phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rDNA, gyrB, rpoB, and rpoC gene sequences. Coculture assays revealed that strains B31, F68, and 30833 showed increased tolerance to F. oxysporum and its metabolites compared with B. velezensis strain FZB42. Further experiments confirmed that 10 µg/mL FA completely inhibited the growth of strain FZB42, while strains B31, F68, and 30833 maintained normal growth at 20 µg/mL FA and partial growth at 40 µg/mL FA. Compared with strain FZB42, strains B31, F68, and 30833 exhibited significantly greater tolerance to FA.

Bacillus spp. is one kind of the important representative biocontrol agents against plant diseases and promoting plant growth. In this study, the whole genomic sequence of bacterial strain HMB26553 was obtained. A phylogenetic tree based on the genome and ANI (average nucleotide identity), as well as dDDH (digital DNA-DNA hybridization), was constructed, and strain HMB26553 was identified as Bacillus velezensis. Fourteen biosynthetic gene clusters responsible for secondary metabolite were predicted via anti-SMASH, and six secondary metabolites were identified by UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS (ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry). When the phytopathogen Rhizoctonia solani was treated with B. velezensis HMB26553, the mycelial structure changed, ROS (reactive oxygen species) accumulated, and the mitochondrial membrane potential decreased. Characteristics of strain HMB26553 were predicted and confirmed by genomic information and experiments, such as producing IAA, siderophore, extracellular enzymes and biofilm, as well as moving and promoting cotton growth. All these results suggested the mechanisms by which B. velezensis HMB26553 inhibits pathogen growth and promotes cotton growth, which likely provided the potential biocontrol agent to control cotton Rhizoctonia damping-off.
