Inulin-type fructan degradation capacity of interesting butyrate-producing colon bacteria and cross-feeding interactions of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii DSM 17677T with bifidobacteria

چکیده
Background Inulin-type fructans have already been studied with respect to their stimulation of bifidobacteria and butyrateproducing colon bacteria, such as Anaerostipes caccae and Roseburia spp. However, much less is known about their effects on other butyrate-producing colon bacteria, such as Butyricicoccus pullicaecorum, Eubacterium spp. and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and the interactions of these species with bifidobacteria. This study aimed at investigating the kinetics of inulin-type fructan degradation and organic acid and gas production by B. pullicaecorum DSM 23266, E. hallii L2-7, E. rectale CIP 105953, and F. prausnitzii DSM 17677 and the possible interactions between F. prausnitzii DSM 17677 and bifidobacteria.

Bifidobacteria and Butyrate-Producing Colon Bacteria: Importance and Strategies for Their Stimulation in the Human Gut
With the increasing amount of evidence linking certain disorders of the human body to a disturbed gut microbiota, there is a growing interest for compounds that positively influence its composition and activity through diet. Besides the consumption of probiotics to stimulate favorable bacterial communities in the human gastrointestinal tract, prebiotics such as inulin-type fructans (ITF) and ar...
متن کاملContribution of acetate to butyrate formation by human faecal bacteria.
Acetate is normally regarded as an endproduct of anaerobic fermentation, but butyrate-producing bacteria found in the human colon can be net utilisers of acetate. The butyrate formed provides a fuel for epithelial cells of the large intestine and influences colonic health. [1-(13)C]Acetate was used to investigate the contribution of exogenous acetate to butyrate formation. Faecalibacterium prau...

Kinetic analyses of bacterial growth, carbohydrate consumption, and metabolite production of five butyrate-producing clostridial cluster XIVa colon bacteria grown on acetate plus fructose, oligofructose, inulin, or lactate were performed. A gas chromatography method was set up to assess H2 and CO2 production online and to ensure complete coverage of all metabolites produced. Method accuracy was...
متن کاملXylo-Oligosaccharides and Inulin Affect Genotoxicity and Bacterial Populations Differently in a Human Colonic Simulator Challenged with Soy Protein
High dietary intakes of some protein sources, including soy protein, can increase colonic DNA damage in animals, whereas some carbohydrates attenuate this. We investigated whether inulin and xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) could be protective against DNA strand breaks by adding them to a human colonic simulator consisting of a proximal vessel (PV) (pH 5.5) and a distal vessel (DV) (pH 6.8) inoculat...
متن کاملLactate-utilizing bacteria, isolated from human feces, that produce butyrate as a major fermentation product.
The microbial community of the human colon contains many bacteria that produce lactic acid, but lactate is normally detected only at low concentrations (<5 mM) in feces from healthy individuals. It is not clear, however, which bacteria are mainly responsible for lactate utilization in the human colon. Here, bacteria able to utilize lactate and produce butyrate were identified among isolates obt...
