Progress and Development of Exopolysaccharides of Lactobacilli
نویسندگان
چکیده
Exopolysaccharides as well as other bioactive substances of Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) attracted much attention due to its specific structure and functions, e.g. tolerance to gastrointestinal (GI) stress, adhesion on the intestinal mucosa, inhibition against pathogens, and modulation of immune system. In this mini-review, we have summarized the recent progress of exopolysaccharides of Lactobacillus spp. on composition, antioxidant activity, colonization and immunity effect, with the aim to highlight the development tendency in the approach of exopolysaccharides of LAB.

Structural and immunomodulatory differences among lactobacilli exopolysaccharides isolated from intestines of mice with experimentally induced inflammatory bowel disease
Characteristic changes in the microbiota biostructure and a decreased tolerance to intestinal bacteria have been associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, few studies have examined the constituents of the intestinal microbiota, including the surface molecules of the bacteria, in healthy and IBD subsets. Here, we compare the chemical structures and immunomodulatory properties of...
متن کاملMicrobial Exopolysaccharides: A Review of Their Function and Application in Food Sciences
Extracellular polymeric substances are defined as high molecular weight compounds secreted by the microorganisms in the surrounding area. Since these extracellular substances are mainly polysaccharide, they are named exopolysaccharide. Microbial exopolysaccharides composed of sugar residue have growing interest as a new class of microbial products which can be used in food, pharmaceutical, and ...
متن کاملSalivary Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacilli Levels as Indicators of Dental Caries Development in Iranian Patients with Systemic Sclerosis
Background and Objective: Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder with orofacial manifestations, including tooth decay. Lactobacilli can inhibit biofilm formation and growth of cariogenic pathogens, such as Streptococcus mutans. We aimed to assess the salivary levels of S. mutans and Lactobacilli as indicators of dental caries development in patients with systemic sclerosis. Methods: In t...

Characterization and the antibacterial potential of gold (AuNPs) and silver nanoparticle (SNPs) biosynthesized greenly using exopolysaccharides (EPS) and Culture Free Supernatant (CFS) of Wesiella confusa against some multidrug resistance (MDR) E. coli was investigated. The biosynthesized nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible spectra, Fourier Transfor...
متن کاملGenetically Engineered Lactobacilli for Technological and Functional Food Applications
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are Gram-positive microorganisms that produce lactic acid as a major product of their metabolism. Among them the genus Lactobacillus comprises a large heterogeneous group of low G+C DNA content, anaerobic and nonsporulating bacteria, that includes species widely used in the food industry. They play key roles in fermented dairy, meats and vegetables products. Due to th...
