We have isolated a difructose anhydride III (DFA III)-assimilating bacterium, Ruminococcus productus AHU1760, from human. After an acclimation period of 1 week, male Sprague-Dawley rats (5 weeks old) were divided into four groups (control diet, R. productus diet, DFA III diet, and R. productus + DFA III diet; n = 8) and fed the assigned test diets for 2 weeks. The viable count of administered R. productus was 4.9 x 10(7) CFU/d in R. productus-fed rats and 4.7 x 10(7) CFU/d in R. productus + DFA III-fed rats. Survival in cecal content of this strain was confirmed by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA. The ratio of secondary bile acids in feces in R. productus + DFA III-fed rats decreased the same as that in rats fed only DFA III. The viable count of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, known as beneficial bacteria, increased more in R. productus + DFA III-fed rats than in control or R. productus-fed rats. A combination of R. productus and DFA III might improve the balance of intestinal microbiota to a healthier condition.

Di-fructofuranose 1,2':2,3' dianhydride (DFA-III) is a cyclic fructo-disaccharide, which is produced by the condensation of two fructose molecules via the caramelization or enzymatic reaction of inulin fructotransferase. A strain of Blautia producta was known to utilize DFA-III as a carbohydrate source; however, the mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we characterized the glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 91 DFA-III hydrolase (DFA-IIIase) from B.

The functional Difructose anhydride III (DFA-III) lacks reported utilization by special probiotics of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. DFA-III hydrolase (DFA-IIIase), converting DFA-III to inulobiose, is a critical enzyme for the metabolism of DFA-III, which stands for the utilization ability of DFA-III by microorganisms. Hence, the research identified six potential DFA-IIIases from Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species, suggesting that DFA-III has the potential to proliferate these bacteria.

The objective of this study was to assess the potential effects of supplementing difructose anyhdride III (DFAIII) during the first days of life on the absorption of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and growth performance of calves early in life fed colostrum with a high IgG concentration. Sixty-six healthy new-born Holstein calves were randomly assigned to three treatments consisting of no supplementation (control), supplementation of 12 g/d (DFA12), or 36 g/d (DFA36) of DFAIII during the first 7 d of life via colostrum and milk replacer (MR). Calves were separated from dams at birth and bottle-fed colostrum in two meals, each targeting 2.

Inulin fructotransferase converts prebiotic polysaccharide inulin to difructose anhydride III, known for its numerous beneficial physiological effects. While previous studies focused on using inulin extracts under optimal conditions, this study delves into the enzyme's behavior when dealing with more complex food materials, inulin-rich burdock root, which possesses greater nutritional value but may influence the enzymatic reaction. An inulin fructotransferase from Arthrobacter sp.
