Therapeutic potential of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus grx10 and its derived postbiotic through gut microbiota and MAPK/MLCK/MLC pathway-mediated intestinal barrier repairment in ulcerative colitis.

Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus grx10 (grx10) has shown promising potential in promoting intestinal health as predicted by genomic and metabolomic analyses. Given the increasing prevalence of ulcerative colitis (UC) and the limitations of existing treatments, exploring alternative therapeutic strategies is essential. This study explored the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of grx10 and its derived postbiotic (P-grx10) in a mouse model of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced chronic UC.

HF01 fermented yogurt alleviated high-fat diet-induced obesity and hepatic steatosis the gut microbiota-butyric acid-hepatic lipid metabolism axis.

The objective of this study was to investigate the anti-obesity effects and underlying mechanism of HF01 fermented yogurt (HF01-Y). Herein, obesity was induced in mice through a high-fat diet and the changes in the gut microbiota were evaluated using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, combined with the expression levels of the liver AMPK signaling pathway to analyze the potential relationship between HF01-Y-mediated gut microbiota and obesity. The results showed that supplementation with HF01-Y improved obesity-related phenotypes in mice, including reduced body weight, improved serum lipid profiles, and decreased hepatic lipid droplet formation.

High skin permeation, deposition and whitening activity achieved by xanthan gum string vitamin c flexible liposomes for external application.

For most external applied antioxidant whitening ingredients, effective stratum corneum breakthrough, epidermal penetration and dermal deposition are necessary premises for inhibition of melanin production and transfer occurring in stratum basale. Herein, xanthan gum was added into vitamin C-containing flexible liposome (Vc-L) suspension. The long polymer chain of xanthan gum string dispersed Vc-L together to gain a lotion (Vc-LX) for external application.

Metabolic Pathway Profiling in Intracellular and Extracellular Environments of During pH-Controlled Batch Fermentations.

Elucidating the metabolite profiles during the growth of is beneficial for understanding its growth characteristics. The changes in the intracellular and extracellular concentrations of carbohydrates, nucleotides, amino sugars, nucleoside sugars, fatty acids, and amino acids, as well as their metabolites over time, were investigated by metabolomics technology. Most metabolites of nucleotides were highly accumulated in the intracellular environment after the mid-exponential phase.

Effect of microwave sterilization on maturation time and quality of low-salt sufu.

The objective of this study was to reduce the microorganism number and salt content in pehtze by microwave sterilization. The maturation time and quality of low-salt sufu were evaluated. The microorganism inactivation rate, moisture content and water activity of the pehtze, which was used for the growth of the starter culture, showed that 4,250 W for 30 s was suitable for the preparation of low-salt sufu.

Transcriptomic and proteomic profiling revealed global changes in Streptococcus thermophilus during pH-controlled batch fermentations.

Understanding global changes of physiological processes at the molecular level during the growth of Streptococcus thermophilus is essential for the rational design of cultivation media and the optimization of bioprocesses. Transcriptomics and proteomics were combined to investigate the global changes at the transcript and protein level during the growth of S. thermophilus.

The nutrient requirements of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and their application to fermented milk.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) performs many physiological functions, but the fermentation time is long when fermented milk is prepared using LGG alone. To shorten the fermentation time, we analyzed the nutrient requirement profiles of LGG. Based on nutrient requirement profiles, we evaluated the effects on the fermentation time, quality, and sensory properties of unmodified cow's milk fermented by LGG alone.

Metabolic profiles of cysteine, methionine, glutamate, glutamine, arginine, aspartate, asparagine, alanine and glutathione in Streptococcus thermophilus during pH-controlled batch fermentations.

Elucidating the amino acid (AA) metabolism patterns of Streptococcus thermophilus has important effects on the precise design of nitrogen sources for high-cell-density culture. Transcriptomics and metabolomics were combined to reveal the cysteine, methionine, glutamate, glutamine, arginine, aspartate, asparagine and alanine metabolic pathways in S. thermophilus MN-ZLW-002, including glutathione.

Short communication: Nutrient consumption patterns of Lactobacillus acidophilus KLDS 1.0738 in controlled pH batch fermentations.

This work focused on elucidating the nutrient consumption patterns of Lactobacillus acidophilus to guide the design of media for high-cell-density culture. We investigated the nutrient consumption patterns of L. acidophilus KLDS 1.
