Abstract

Probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics are frequently-used components for the elaboration of functional food. Currently, most of the commercialized probiotics are limited to a few strains of the genera Bifidobacteria, Lactobacillus and Streptococcus, most of which produce exopolysaccharides (EPS). This suggests that the beneficial properties of these microorganisms may be related to the biological activities of these biopolymers. In this work we report that a 2-substituted-(1,3)-β-d-glucan of non-dairy bacterial origin has a prebiotic effect on three probiotic strains. Moreover, the presence of this β-d-glucan potentiates in vitro adhesion of the probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 to human intestinal epithelial cells.

Figure 1 Sodium dodecylsulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) profiles of total protein extracts from L. plantarum WCFS1 harboring pGIZ906 (lane A) or the recombinant PldhL-bgl-pGIZ906 (strain WCFS1β-gal, lane B). The molecular size was determined by comparison with a protein ladder (M). M: prestained SDS-PAGE standards, low range. Molecular mass of the marker bands is indicated in kDa.CC BY · PubMed Central

Figure 2 Kinetics of growth of L. plantarum WCFS1 (blue line), L. plantarum WCFS1β-gal (red line) and L. acidophilus (green line) in a chemically defined medium (CDM) supplemented with d-glucose (10 g·L−1). Growth was monitored during 30 h by spectrophotometric determination of the optical density at 600 nm (OD600).CC BY · PubMed Central

Figure 3 Growth kinetics of L. plantarum WCFS1 (A), L. plantarum WCFS1β-gal (B) and L. acidophilus (C) in a chemically defined medium supplemented with d-glucose (10 g L−1) (blue line), exopolysaccharides (EPS) (0.5% w/v) (green line) or both (red line). Values of growth in presence of only EPS are reported on a secondary Y-axis. Growth was monitored over a 30 h period, by colony forming units (cfu) counting.CC BY · PubMed Central

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.
