This study aimed at providing a route towards the production of a novel exopolysaccharide (EPS) from fermented bamboo shoot-isolated . A lactic acid bacteria strain, with high EPS production ability, was isolated from fermented bamboo shoots. This strain, R-49757, was identified in the BCCM/LMG Bacteria Collection, Ghent University, Belgium by the phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase gene sequencing method, and it was named MC3. The molecular mass of the EPS measured via gel permeation chromatography was found to be 9.85 × 10 Da. Moreover, the monosaccharide composition in the EPS was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Consequently, the EPS was discovered to be a heteropolysaccharide with the appearance of two main sugars-D-glucose and D-mannose-in the backbone. The results of one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy analyses prove the repeating unit of this polysaccharide to be [→6)-β-D-Glc-(1→3)-β-D-Man-(1→6)-β-D-Glc-(1→], which appears to be a new EPS. The obtained results open up an avenue for the production of novel EPSs for biomedical applications.

Microbial metabolism plays a critical role in the flavor development of Guangxi fermented bamboo shoots (GFBS). To clarify the role of microorganisms in flavor formation and predict the metabolic pathways of key characteristic flavor compounds, this study employed metabolomics, Odor Activity Value (OAV), and Taste Activity Value (TAV) calculations, integrated with Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA), to investigate changes in GFBS flavors-represented by volatile flavor compounds, organic acids, and free amino acids-across a 30-day fermentation period. Metagenomic datasets were used to identify taxonomic and functional changes in the microbial community.
