Research progress on conjugated linoleic acid bio-conversion in Bifidobacterium

Yongchao Mei et al.

Summary: This article reviews the current knowledge about Bifidobacterium CLA producers, the complex factors regulating CLA production in Bifidobacterium, the role of CLA production in Bifidobacterium, and the potential mechanism underlying Bifidobacterium CLA production. It offers novel insights into the production of food-grade CLA as well as the rational design of health-promoting fermented foods or synbiotics.

Effect of Probiotic Bifidobacterium breve in Improving Cognitive Function and Preventing Brain Atrophy in Older Patients with Suspected Mild Cognitive Impairment: Results of a 24-Week Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

Daisuke Asaoka et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of the probiotic strain Bifidobacterium breve MCC1274 (A1) on cognitive function and brain atrophy in older patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The results showed that probiotics supplementation improved some aspects of cognitive function and slowed down the progression of brain atrophy, especially in patients with significant atrophy. However, there were no significant changes in the overall composition of the gut microbiota.

Antibacterial efficacy and possible mechanism of action of 2-hydroxyisocaproic acid (HICA)

Amila S. N. W. Pahalagedara et al.

Summary: This study investigates the antibacterial efficacy of 2-hydroxyisocaproic acid (HICA) against bacteria associated with food quality and safety, and explores its antimicrobial mechanisms. The results show that HICA effectively inhibits the growth of tested bacteria by penetrating their cell membranes, causing membrane depolarization, rupture, and cell death. HICA has potential as a natural food preservative and antibacterial agent.

Stunted children display ectopic small intestinal colonization by oral bacteria, which cause lipid malabsorption in experimental models

Pascale Vonaesch et al.

Summary: This study reveals the high prevalence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in stunted children, which leads to increased intestinal permeability, inflammation, and reduced lipid absorption. Additionally, specific fecal signatures associated with EED markers were identified. These findings are crucial for the development of microbiota-targeted interventions for treating EED.

Investigation of metabolic crosstalk between host and pathogenic Clostridioides difficile via multiomics approaches

Ji-Eun Kwon et al.

Summary: This study developed an in vitro model to investigate the effects of C. difficile infection on host cells. The model confirmed the disruption of the intestinal epithelial barrier and disaggregation of actin filaments caused by C. difficile infection. The study also identified gene upregulation and metabolic pathway inhibition in the early stage of infection.

Harnessing Colon Chip Technology to Identify Commensal Bacteria That Promote Host Tolerance to Infection

Francesca S. Gazzaniga et al.

Summary: This study described methods for developing microfluidic organ-on-a-chip models of small and large intestine, focusing on host-microbiome interactions in the mouse Colon Chip. The study successfully demonstrated the effects of infection on epithelial cells and the symbiosis between microbiome bacteria and intestinal epithelium in the Colon Chips by populating them with complex living microbiome samples from mice or humans.

Bifidobacterium species associated with breastfeeding produce aromatic lactic acids in the infant gut

Martin F. Laursen et al.

Summary: Breastfeeding-associated Bifidobacterium species can convert aromatic amino acids into aromatic lactic acids via an unrecognized enzyme, potentially impacting infant immune function. Longitudinal study of Danish infants showed that faecal concentrations of aromatic lactic acids are positively correlated with specific Bifidobacterium species abundance containing the enzyme. These microbial metabolites may have implications for early life immune function.

Production of Hydroxycarboxylic Acid Receptor 3 (HCA3) Ligands by Bifidobacterium

Takuma Sakurai et al.

Summary: The study identified that Bifidobacterium can produce HCA(3) ligands, including 4-hydroxyphenyllactic acid, phenyllactic acid, indole-3-lactic acid, and LeuA. These ligands are mixtures of enantiomers, with D-ILA, D-PLA, and D-LeuA showing stronger activity. Investigating the absolute stereo structures of these metabolites is emphasized as important based on the results.

Bifidobacteria-mediated immune system imprinting early in life

Bethany M. Henrick et al.

Summary: Early immune-microbe interactions play a role in the development of allergies, asthma, and inflammatory diseases. Breastfeeding promotes healthier immune-microbe relationships by providing necessary nutrients to beneficial microbes. The lack of bifidobacteria and genes required for HMO utilization can lead to systemic inflammation and immune dysregulation in early life.

Intestinal organoid cocultures with microbes

Jens Puschhof et al.

Summary: This protocol outlines methods for co-culturing human small intestinal and colon organoids with microbes, including microinjection and exposure to bacteria. It provides detailed protocols for assessing cell viability and growth kinetics, as well as spatial relationships using microscopy techniques. Considerations for evaluating the impact of bacteria on gene expression and mutations through sequencing are also discussed.

Primary Human Colonic Mucosal Barrier Crosstalk with Super Oxygen-Sensitive Faecalibacterium prausnitzii in Continuous Culture

Jianbo Zhang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the effects of commensal anaerobe Faecalibacterium prausnitzii on a primary human mucosal barrier using a specifically designed gut microbiome platform. Continuous co-culture with F. prausnitzii in an anaerobic environment leads to increased growth and butyrate production, while also maintaining the stability of the colon epithelial barrier. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory effects of F. prausnitzii are mediated through histone deacetylase (HDAC) and the Toll-like receptor-TLR-nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) axis, with butyrate playing a significant role in downregulating inflammation-related receptors TLR3 and TLR4.
