Effects of konjac glucomannan with different molecular weights on gut microflora with antibiotic perturbance in in vitro fecal fermentation

Yu-Heng Mao et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of different molecular weight konjac glucomannan (KGM) on fecal microflora against antibiotic disturbance. Low-MW KGM2 was found to significantly increase the relative abundance of Bifidobacteriaceae and decrease the proportion of Enterobacteriaceae in the presence of antibiotics, while also counteracting the adverse influence of antibiotics on the production of short chain fatty acids. The results demonstrate the impact of KGM on gut microbiota under antibiotic disturbance.

The role of mucin and oligosaccharides via cross-feeding activities by Bifidobacterium: A review

Yanhong Luo et al.

Summary: Bifidobacteria, a low-abundance gut commensal genus, have superior carbohydrate-metabolizing abilities that benefit other gut symbionts, particularly butyrate-producing bacteria. Through cooperative metabolic interactions and cross-feeding activities on mucin and oligosaccharides, bifidobacteria play a crucial role in the intestinal ecosystem. Studying the social behavior between bifidobacteria and other intestinal microbes sheds light on the future use of oligosaccharides and bifidobacteria for nutritional interventions or clinical applications.

Diet, adiposity, and the gut microbiota from infancy to adolescence: A systematic review

Kiley B. Vander Wyst et al.

Summary: The relationship between gut microbiota composition and adiposity is still inconclusive, but certain bacterial taxa have been associated with obesity. A healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and moderate animal fat and protein is recommended for a healthy gut microbiota. Further research using robust sequencing technologies is needed to identify all bacterial taxa linked to adiposity and assess the effects of diet on these microbes.

Polysaccharide degradation by the Bacteroidetes: mechanisms and nomenclature

Lauren S. McKee et al.

Summary: The Bacteroidetes phylum is known for its ability to degrade complex carbohydrates, especially in the human gut microbiome. They use PULs and T9SS to rapidly degrade polysaccharides and gain competitive advantages through enzyme secretion and gliding motility.

Konjac Glucomannan Attenuated Triglyceride Metabolism during Rice Gruel Tolerance Test

Takumi Nagasawa et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that supplementing rice gruel with KGM powder led to reductions in circulating levels of free fatty acids and triglycerides, while increasing lipoprotein lipase and GPIHBP1 levels. This indicates a novel pleiotropic effect of KGM on lipid metabolism.

Assessment of Carbon Substrate Catabolism Pattern and Functional Metabolic Pathway for Microbiota of Limestone Caves

Suprokash Koner et al.

Summary: The efficient carbon catabolism of bacterial communities is key in biomineralization in limestone-rich areas. In caves where carbon sources are scarce, a study investigated carbon substrate utilization by soil and rock microbial communities through Biolog EcoPlate (TM) assay and 16S rRNA analysis, finding that microbes outside caves had higher activity and utilization rates compared to those inside. Taxonomic analysis revealed different predominant bacterial phyla in each environment, with functional predictions showing involvement in various metabolic pathways.

Bioactive Compounds in Food as a Current Therapeutic Approach to Maintain a Healthy Intestinal Epithelium

Eva Salinas et al.

Summary: The intestinal epithelium acts as an essential barrier against harmful substances and pathogens, with barrier defects leading to increased intestinal permeability and inflammation. Gut microbiota and food supplements play a crucial role in regulating intestinal health and barrier function, particularly in diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and food allergies.

Imaging the in vivo growth patterns of bacteria in human gut Microbiota

Liyuan Lin et al.

Summary: Studying unculturable bacteria in the human gut is challenging and the lack of knowledge hinders further understanding of the microbiota. Through the integrative use of STAMP and FISH, growth and division of gut bacteria can be characterized in an animal model. The findings reveal that many bacterial species in the human microbiota are significantly shorter, and an imaging database for summarizing bacterial imaging has been established.

In vitro fecal fermentation profiles and microbiota responses of pulse cell wall polysaccharides: enterotype effect

Miaomiao Yu et al.

Summary: The research showed that Prevotella- and Bacteroides-enterotype inocula exhibit different fermentation rates, SCFA production capabilities, and monosaccharide utilization capacities during PCW degradation. Microbial changes and the promotion of Prevotella and Bacteroides abundances were observed with the two enterotype inocula. These findings can help predict the responses of Prevotella and Bacteroides enterotypes to diets, providing valuable information for personalized nutrition.

Effects of three different mannans on obesity and gut microbiota in high-fat diet-fed C57BL/6J mice

Yajian Song et al.

Summary: The study compared the effects of three mannans on obesity and obesity-related metabolic disorders in mice fed with a high-fat diet, showing that Konjac glucomannan (KGM), guar gum (GG), and locust bean gum (LBG) all had potential as alternative dietary supplements. However, the effects varied based on dosage and time, and the ability of mannans to regulate the gut microbiota played a crucial role in their functions. Analysis of gut microbiota sequencing revealed specific changes in abundance of certain OTUs, indicating a correlation with obesity and metabolic disorders.
