In Vitro Prebiotic Evaluation of Exopolysaccharides Produced by Marine Isolated Lactic Acid Bacteria
Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) selected based on high EPSs production yields of 14, 7.6, 4.9 and 5g/L in sucrose containing MRS broth were identified as Weissella cibaria, Weissella confusa, Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus, respectively based on their 16S rDNA sequences. EPSs produced by these strains did not stimulate secretion of interleukin (IL)-8, and were resistant to stomach acid and human pancreatic amylase. In pure culture system, only Bifidobacterium bifidum DSM 20456 exhibited the ability to utilize these EPSs as carbon sources but not L. plantarum TISTR 875 and Lactobacillus acidophilus TISTR 1034. EPSs from W. cibaria exhibited strong bifidogenic effect in the mixed-culture of human fecal microflora using the three-stage fermentation model. In the transverse and distal colon, bifidobacteria and lactobacilli as well as acetate and propionate increased significantly. Butyrate slightly decreased in the proximal colon region after feeding EPSs, but increased in the distal region.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
