ABSTRACT

25

Size exclusion chromatography of β-mannooligosaccharides (β-MOS) mixture, obtained from

26

ManB-1601 hydrolysis of locust bean gum, resulted in separation of oligosaccharides with varied

27

degree of polymerization (DP 2, 3 and 5). The oligosaccharides were structurally [ESI-MS,

28

FTIR, XRD, TGA and NMR (1H and 13C)] and functionally (in vitro fermentation) characterized.

29

DP2 oligosaccharide was composed of two species (A) mannopyranose β-1,4 mannopyranose

30

and (B) α-1,6-galactosyl-mannopyranose, while DP3 oligosaccharide showed presence of only

31

one species i.e. α-D-galactosyl-β-D-mannobiose. ManB-1601 was capable of cleaving near the

32

branch points in the substrate resulting in oligosaccharides with galactose at the terminal position

33

apart from attacking unsubstituted β-1,4 glycosidic linkages. DP2 and DP3 improved the growth

34

of three out of seven species of Lactobacillus while, DP5 resulted in poor growth of all

35

Lactobacillus spp. under in vitro conditions. DP2, DP3 and DP5 were found to inhibit the growth

36

of E. coli, L. monocytogenes and S. typhi.

INTRODUCTION

47

Currently, several researchers and leading food companies are developing functional food

48

preparations

49

xylooligosaccharides, pecticoligosaccharides, isomaltooligosaccharides, galactooligosaccharides,

50

and fructooligosaccharides)/probiotics due the realization of the intricate relationship between

51

food ingredients, beneficial gut microflora and health.1-8

containing

prebiotics

(arabinooligosaccharides, arabinoxylooligosaccharides,

52

Mannooligosaccharides (MOS), including α-MOS and β-MOS, are a relatively new class

53

of oligosaccharides, that have gained significant interest as a prebiotic.9,10 β-MOS are not acted

54

upon by gastric or pancreatic enzymes and are used by a selected group of beneficial gut

55

microflora for inducing several physiological changes.11 β-MOS can be produced by hydrolytic

56

cleavage of mannans by endo-β-1,4-mannanase (EC 3.2.1.78) and show variability with respect

57

to their degree of polymerization and presence/position of substituents.12-14 Recently, a number

58

of reports have cited the prebiotic potential of crude β-MOS from guar gum, locust bean gum,

59

konjac mannan and copra meal using endo-β-1,4-mannanase.10, 15-19 However, detailed studies

60

encompassing purification, structural characterization and in vitro fermentation behaviour of β-

61

MOS on probiotic populations need to be carried out in order to provide further information.

62

ManB-1601 (UniProtKB-A0A0A1E3J1) obtained from Bacillus sp. CFR1601 is a GH26,

63

thermostable, endo-β-1,4-mannanase having (β/α)8-barrel spatial arrangement.20-21 In the present

64

study, attempts were made to understand the molecular properties [degree of polymerization,

65

composition of monomer units, chemical structure and thermal properties] of β-MOS derived

66

from locust bean gum after ManB-1601 hydrolysis; to analyze the cleavage pattern of ManB-

67

1601 on locust bean gum and to evaluate the propensity of β-MOS towards fermentation by

68

Lactobacillus spp. and food borne pathogens.

76

Megazyme, Ireland. Microbial culture media and other ingredients were procured from Himedia

77

(Bengaluru, India). Lactobacillus cultures were obtained from National Culture Collection of

78

Industrial Microorganisms (NCIM) at CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory (NCL), Pune (India).

79

Cultures of food borne pathogens (Escherichia coli ATCC 11775, Salmonella typhi ATCC

80

25241 and Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 13932) were obtained from Microbiology and

81

Fermentation Technology Department at CSIR-CFTRI, Mysuru. All other reagents used were of

82

the highest purity available commercially.

83

Production of β-MOS from locust bean gum using ManB-1601

84

ManB-1601 was produced and purified as per the protocol described earlier.20,21 For the

85

preparation of β-MOS, 1% (w/v) locust bean gum in 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7, 80

86

mL) was incubated with purified ManB-1601 (100 U/mL) under shaking conditions (200 rpm) at

87

50 oC for 270 min.18 The hydrolysate obtained was kept in boiling water bath for 5 min to

88

inactivate the enzyme. Enzyme resistant and insoluble fractions were removed by centrifugation

89

at 3622 x g for 10 min at room temperature. Thereafter, three volumes of ethanol were added to

90

the supernatant for precipitating high-molecular-mass fractions and centrifuged at 3622 x g for

91

20 min. The supernatant containing β-MOS was flash evaporated and stored at -20 oC until

92

further use.18

93

Purification of β-MOS

94

β-MOS mixture obtained after locust bean gum hydrolysis by ManB-1601 was fractionated on

95

Biogel P-2 (bed volume, 100 mL) previously equilibrated with Milli-Q water at room

96

97

flow rate of 10 mL/h.

98

Characterization of purified β-MOS

99

Electron spray ionization- mass spectrometry (ESI-MS)

104

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD)

105

IR spectra of β-MOS were determined using an IFS 25 FTIR spectrophotometer (Bruker,

106

Ettlingen, Germany). β-MOS were ground and mixed with spectroscopic grade potassium

107

bromide powder (KBr) and pressed into a pellet. The spectra of the samples were recorded in the

108

range of 700-1500 cm-1. The XRD patterns of β-MOS were obtained using a SmartLab 3 kW X-

109

ray diffractometer (Rigaku, Tokyo, Japan) with Cu Kα source at 2θ angle probed 5-75o at 0.02

110

/min scanning speed.

111

Thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric analysis

112

Thermogravimetric (TGA) and differential thermal (DTA) analysis of β-MOS were carried out

113

under continuous N2 flow on a STA 2500 Regulus differential scanning calorimeter (Netzsch



Page 6 of 36

114

Instruments, Burlington, MA). Samples were weighed (~2-5 mg) and heated from 30-700 oC at a

115

heating rate of 10 oC/min in aluminium pans. The empty pan was used as reference.

H and 13C NMR spectroscopy

117

The NMR spectroscopic studies were carried out on an Avance AQS 500MHz

118

spectrophotometer (Bruker, Reinstetten, Germany) NMR spectrometer. 5 mg of sample was

119

dissolved in 600µl D2O and spectra were collected. 1H spectrum was collected at 500 MHz with

120

spectral width kept at 10330 Hz. The signal for water occurs at 4.8 ppm frequency in 1H NMR

121

spectra on the D2O solvent used. The water suppression pulse program zgpr was employed to

122

collect the 1H spectrum with 16 scans. The

Seed inocula of Lactobacillus sp. [L. plantarum (NCIM 2372), L. fermentum (NCIM 2165), L.

127

casei var. rhamnosus (NCIM 2125), L. brevis (NCIM 2090), L. acidophilus (NCIM 2285), L.

128

casei (NCIM 2126) and L. helveticus (NCIM 2126)] and food borne pathogens [(E. coli (ATCC

129

132

Batch fermentation

133

Batch fermentation studies for Lactobacillus spp. and food borne pathogens were carried out in

134

MRS and TSB media (devoid of glucose, 1 mL), respectively. The media were supplemented

135

separately with either filter sterilized (0.22µ) β-MOS having degree of polymerization (DP2,

136

DP3, DP5 and CDP2), FOS (positive control-1) or glucose (positive control-2) at a final

13

C NMR spectra were collected at 125 MHz with

140

respective food borne pathogens and incubated under shaking conditions (37 oC, 24h, 200 rpm).

141

The fermented media was centrifuged (3500 rpm, 5 min, RT) and cells were resuspended in

142

sterile phosphate buffer saline. Growth characteristics of the cultures were measured by

143

determining the log colony forming units (CFU)/mL, absorbance (A600nm) and pH.

144

SCFA analysis

145

The cell free supernatants of Lactobacillus spp. were analysed for short chain fatty acid (SCFA)

146

analysis. 100 mg of sodium chloride was added to each culture supernatant (450 µl) and the

147

mixture was acidified by the addition of sulphuric acid (125 µl, 9 M). The acidified mixture was

148

extracted by an equal volume of diethyl ether. 1 µl of sample (top layer) was subjected to gas

149

chromatography on a Clarus 580 instrument (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA). The column used

150

was a 30 m x 0.32 mm i.d., film thickness 0.25 µm, Elite-WAX cross bond- PEG (Perkin Elmer,

151

Waltham, MA). Column conditions were 60 oC (2 min hold), 2 oC/min to 135 oC (0.5 min hold).

152

Injector and detector were kept at 220 and 230 oC, respectively. Volatile free acid standard mix

153

was used as the standard (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO).

154

Analytical procedures

155

ManB-1601 activity was assayed by determining the release of reducing sugar equivalents from

156

locust bean gum (0.5% w/v) in 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7) at 55 oC using the

157

dinitrosalicylic acid method.22 One unit of ManB-1601 activity was defined as the quantity of

158

enzyme required for liberation of 1.0 µmol mannose/minute under the standard assay conditions.

Total carbohydrate content of β-MOS was determined as glucose equivalents by the phenol-

160

sulfuric acid method with slight modifications.23

161

Statistical analysis

162

Measurements pertaining to in vitro fermentation experiments (A600nm and pH) were carried out

163

in duplicates and presented as arithmetic mean. Calculation for arithmetic mean was done using

164

using Sigma plot 10.0. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) of data was performed with Origin Pro 7

165

(Origin Lab Corporation, Northampton, MA) statistical software using Tuckey’s test at 0.01

167

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

168

During the last two decades, non-digestible prebiotic oligosaccharides have garnered increased

169

attention from both industry and academia due to their positive impact on the gut microbiome.4 It

170

has been shown conclusively that DP and molecular structure of these prebiotic oligosaccharides

171

play a vital role in their utilization by probiotic bacteria.24 Therefore, the overall aim of the

172

present study was to establish the structure (glycosidic linkages, oligosaccharide composition

173

and DP)-function (in vitro fermentability) relationship of β-MOS with probiotic Lactobacillus

174

spp. and/or food borne pathogens.

175

Production, purification and characterization of β-MOS

176

Hydrolysis of locust bean gum by ManB-1601 for 270 min resulted in generation of β-MOS with

177

an overall yield of 30% (w/v). Separation of crude β-MOS mixture by Biogel-P2

178

chromatography resulted in five well separated peaks which were designated as P1, P2, P3, P4,

179

and P5 (Figure 1A). Peak P1-P5 were identified as cationised molecules [M+Na]+ by ESI-mass

180

spectroscopy (Figure 1B). The P1 and P2 peaks corresponded to a pentasaccharide (DP5) [P1-

181

599, derived from cross cleavage of branched pentasaccharide; 25 P2- 851, [{(180x 5) - (4x18)} +


Page 9 of 36


182

23]. Peaks P3 (DP3), P4 (DP2) and P5 (monomer) corresponded to trisaccharide [527, {(180x 3)

183

- (2x18)} + 23], disaccharide [365, {(180x 2) - (1x18)} + 23]; 707, two disaccharide residues

184

with one sodium (342 + 342+23)] and mannose [203, (180 + 23)], respectively. The extent of

185

hydrolysis of galactomannans by endo-β-1,4-mannanase derived either from legume seeds or

186

microorganisms like fungi and bacteria and subsequent generation of oligosaccharides has been

187

shown to be dependent noticeably on

188

galactomannan and endo-β-1,4-mannanase family [as endo-β-1,4-mannanase from different

189

families display different catalytic properties towards substituted mannans as seen in case of

190

xylanases.26-29 Cerqueira et al.30 reported presence of oligosaccharides of DP ranging from 2 to 7

191

after endo-β-1,4-mannanase hydrolysis of galactomannan obtained from Gleditsiatria canthos.

192

Ghosh et al.10 showed production of mannose, mannobiose and mannotriose after endo-β-1,4-

193

mannanase hydrolysis of copra meal. Similarly, endo-β-1,4-mannanase from Penicillium

194

occitanis was able to produce mannose, mannobiose, mannotriose and mannotetrose from locust

195

bean gum.31

196

FTIR spectroscopy and XRD

197

FTIR spectra of purified β-MOS were recorded in the carbohydrate region (700-1500 cm-1)

198

(Figure 2). Peaks at 816, 811 and 817 cm-1 found in disaccharide (DP2), trisaccharide (DP3) and

199

pentasaccharide (DP5) revealed the presence of anomeric configurations (α and β anomers). The

200

glycosidic linkage of α-D-galactopyranose and β- D-mannopyranose units in DP2, DP3 and DP5

201

β-MOS was observed at 875, 867 and 873 cm-1.32, 33 The peaks between 1037 to 1155 cm-1 in

202

DP2, DP3 and DP5 β-MOS signified the stretching vibration of C-O and C-O-H bonds present in

203

the glycosidic linkage of galactomannans.33, 34

frequency and pattern of galactose substitution in



Page 10 of 36

204

XRD studies were carried out only for DP2 and DP3 β-MOS, as the hygroscopic nature

205

of DP5 β-MOS prevented the removal of bound water by lyophilisation and subsequent XRD

206

studies. The broad characteristic peak of less intensity at 20o in DP2 (Figure 3A) and DP3

207

(Figure 3B) β-MOS resulted due to more rotational freedom in the molecule, indicated their

208

typical non-crystalline structure and amorphous nature. Similar results were found in case of

209

chitosan oligosaccharides, konjac glucomannan-based films and guar gum.35-37

210

Thermogravimetric (TGA) and differential thermal (DTA) analysis

211

It is quintessential to understand the thermal behaviour of prebiotic molecules like β-

212

mannooligosaccharides as many times they are added in food products which undergo thermal

213

processing like roasting, frying and baking. In case, the prebiotic oligosaccharide is not able to

214

withstand high temperatures encountered during thermal processing it is highly unlikely that it

215

can deliver desirable attributes in the functional food. TGA and DTA is known to provide

216

important information like determining the contents of oligosaccharides from the residual mass

217

and also prediction for the ratio of bound water by applying mass loss calculation during first

218

decomposition.38 The TGA (Figure 3C) and DTA (Figure 3D) graphs revealed three stages of

219

mass loss for DP2 and DP3 β-MOS. TGA and DTA of DP5 were not carried out due to reasons

220

stated above. The first mass loss (up to 12%) for DP2 and DP3 β-MOS occurred at 150 and 171

221

o

222

loss (up to 52%) occurred at the main chain fracture temperatures i.e. 314 and 318 oC for DP2

223

and DP3 β-MOS, respectively.40 The final mass loss (up to 81%) of DP2 and DP3 β-MOS

224

occurred at 510 and 516 oC, respectively which represented the decomposition temperatures and

225

afterwards little residual mass of oligosaccharides was left.

C, respectively which might be due to loss of adsorbed or structural water.39 The second mass

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) analysis of DP2 and DP3

228

P4 (DP2 oligosaccharide) (Figure 4A and B) and P3 (DP3 oligosaccharide) (Figure 5A and B)

229

peaks were further analysed using NMR (500 MHz) for determination of their respective

230

structures. P1 and P2 peaks were not structurally characterized due to their poor yield. Empirical

231

rules for chemical shifts and comparative analysis of relative intensities of resonances were

232

applied for making assignments and the results obtained were in agreement with earlier

233

studies.12,13 1H and

234

species of oligosaccharides. A) Mannopyranose β-1,4-mannopyranose (structure 4, figure 6):

235

From 1H NMR spectra the disaccharide showed resonances at 5.2 ppm (MRα) and 4.7 ppm

236

(MNRβ) which can be assigned to the anomeric protons of the reducing and non-reducing terminal

237

mannose residues of mannopyranose β-1,4- mannopyranose, respectively.

13

C NMR spectra of DP2 oligosaccharides revealed the presence of two

238

From 13C NMR, presence of glycosidic bond (β-1,4) was shown by the resonance of C4

239

in reducing D-mannose at 81.1 ppm. However, in case of non-reducing D-mannose residue, C4

240

resonance appeared at 76.3 thereby confirming the presence of mannopyranose β-1,4-

241

mannopyranose. The spectrum of the disaccharide showed resonances at 91.9 ppm (MRα) and

242

103.4 ppm (MNRβ) which can be assigned to the anomeric carbons of the reducing and non-

243

reducing terminal mannose residues of mannopyranose β-1,4- mannopyranose, respectively. B)

244

α-1,6-Galactosyl-mannopyranose (structure 3, figure 6): From 1H NMR spectra, the chemical

245

shifts at 5.1 ppm and 4.6 ppm could be assigned to protons of galactose (H1) and mannose (H6)

246

at the branch point of α-1,6-galactosyl-mannopyranose (Table 1). From

247

showed two intense peaks around 93.6 and 99.9 ppm corresponding to C1 of D-mannose and D-

248

galactose residues, respectively (Table 2). The resonances corresponding to ring carbons C2, C3,

249

C4 and C5 are shown in Table 2. Interestingly, C6 δ value appeared around 66.4 ppm for D-

13

C NMR, this species



Page 12 of 36

250

mannose and 60.7 ppm (down field shift) for D-galactose, respectively. In the latter case, solitary

251

C6 of D-galactose showed two resonances (α and β) (Table 2). Therefore, this disaccharide

252

product of ManB-1601 depolymerized locust bean gum (structure 1, figure 6) could be

253

concluded as α-1,6-galactosyl-mannopyranose. Considerable data was also obtained by spin-

254

echo Fourier Transform (SEFT) analysis, 2D NMR, HSQC and HMBC with respect to DP2

255

oligosaccharide so as to confirm the presence of two species of disaccharide (data not shown).

256

The ratio of the integrals for the anomeric protons (1H NMR) assigned to the non-reducing

257

residue to those assigned to the reducing residue was about ~1, as would be expected for a

258

disaccharide. The generation of appreciable quantities of α-1,6-galactosyl-mannopyranose

259

residues by ManB-1601, to the best of our knowledge, is the shortest substituted oligosaccharide

260

reported to date produced from a bacterial endo-β-1,4-mannanase. 1

261

H and 13C NMR spectrum of trisaccharide explicitly showed presence of α-D-galactosyl-

262

β-D-mannobiose (structure 2, figure 6) devoid of any other trisaccharide (Figure 5). The

263

assignments made for

264

Table 2. A careful analysis of Biogel P2 profile (Peak 5) and disaccharide NMR data indicate

265

that ManB-1601 might have the hydrolyzing capability of cleaving α-D-galactosyl-β-D-

266

mannobiose to D-mannose (structure 5, figure 6) and α-1,6-galactosyl-mannopyranose.

267

On the basis of the cleavage pattern of galactomannans or galactoglucomannan by endo-

268

β-1,4-mannanase reported to date, we suggest the following three broad groups of endo-β-1,4-

269

mannanase with respect to the type of oligosaccharides generated.

270

First group: Endo-β-1,4-mannanase which give rise to substituted oligosaccharides with

271

galactose at terminal position: can be formed with endo-β-1,4-mannanase from Aspergillus niger

272

28

and Penicillium purpurogenum 29 wherein the shortest substituted oligosaccharide obtained in

273

hydrolysis of galactomannan was a trisaccharide [α-D-galactosyl-β-D-mannobiose (GallMan2),

274

endo-β-D-mannanase from Trichoderma reesei which produced GallMan2 (as the shortest

substituted oligosaccharide i.e. trisaccharide) from galactoglucomannan of pine kraft pulp 41 and

276

endo-β-1,4-mannanase from Bacillus subtilis, which had a more limited ability to hydrolyse

277

galactomannans and the shortest substituted product was α-D-galactosyl-β-D-mannotetrose (Gal1-

278

Man4) (mannopentose).27

279

Second group: Endo-β-1,4-mannanase which give rise to substituted oligosaccharides with

280

galactose at non-terminal position: can be formed of endo-β-1,4-mannanase from Aspergillus

281

niger which hydrolysed carob galactomannan to a series of D-galactose-containing β-D-

282

mannosaccharides with galactose substitution at non-terminal positions.28

283

Third group: Endo-β-1,4-mannanase which give rise to unsubstituted oligosaccharides: can be

284

formed of β-mannanase from Trichoderma reesei which showed release of un-substituted

285

mannose, mannotriose and mannopentose from locust bean gum,12 and β-D-mannanases from

286

lucerne seed which generated unsubstituted β-D-manno-biose, -triose, and -tetrose after the

287

hydrolysis of carob galactomannan.28

288

Most of the endo-β-1,4-mannanase reported to date might come under either of the above

289

second or third group as steric hindrance by α-1,6 linked galactose in mannans do not allow

290

endo-β-1,4-mannanase to cleave near branch points and consequently most of the generated

291

products are linear β-1,4 linked mannopyranose residues or β-1,4 linked mannopyranose residues

292

substituted with galactose at the non-terminal position(s).

293

A schematic representation of the proposed depolymerization pattern of ManB-1601 on

294

locust bean gum is shown in Figure 6 A and B on the basis of size-exclusion chromatography,

295

ESI-MS, and NMR spectroscopy of locust bean gum derived β-MOS. Accordingly, ManB-1601



Page 14 of 36

296

might fall in the first group of classification mentioned above as it generates α-1,6-galactosyl-

297

mannopyranose residues by cleaving near the branch points in galactomannans (cleavage site

298

shown by hollow arrow), apart from attacking internal β-1,4 glycosidic linkages (cleavage site

299

shown by solid arrow) (Figure 6A).

300

In vitro fermentation of β-MOS by lactobacilli and food borne pathogens

301

The present study is the first report on prebiotic contributions of endo-β-1,4-mannanase derived β-

302

MOS from locust bean gum with defined DP and chemical structure. Purified β-MOS (DP 2, 3 and

303

5) produced from the hydrolysis of locust bean gum by ManB-1601 were utilized for growth by

304

various Lactobacillus spp. and inhibited the growth of various tested food borne pathogens.

305

In Lactobacillus spp., there were subtle differences in the extent of β-MOS fermentation.

306

Utilization and growth by L. casei var. rhamnosus, L. fermentum and L. plantarum:

307

Feeding studies with DP2 and DP3: Supplementation of MRS media with DP2 and DP3 β-MOS,

308

showed higher growth when compared to respective controls (0.89 to 1.71 log CFU/mL and 1.71

309

to 3.4 fold A600nm when compared to FOS; 0.89 to 1.71 log CFU/mL and 0.03 to 1.35 fold A600nm

310

when compared to glucose and 1.43 to 2.75 log CFU/mL and 5.14 to 23 fold A600nm when

311

compared to media devoid of carbon source). A shift in media pH towards acidic side up to 1.1

312

units was observed in most cultures.

313

Feeding studies with DP5: Supplementation of MRS media with DP5 resulted in lowering of

314

growth parameters (up to 0.74 and up to 6 fold reduction in log CFU/mL and A600nm,

315

respectively) when compared to FOS or glucose. The growth obtained with L. fermentum and L.

316

plantarum was only slightly better (0.46 to 0.69 log CFU/mL and 3.2 fold A600nm) than negative

317

control. Similar to our results, Lactobacillus plantarum NRIC 1547, NRIC 1068 and L. sakei

318

NRIC 0126 showed better growth on oligosaccharides like lactosucrose, 1-kestose and FOS than


Page 15 of 36


319

glucose.42 A shift in media pH towards acidic side up to 0.8 units was observed in most strains

320

(Table 3).

321

Utilization and growth by L. acidophilus, L. casei, L. brevis and L. helveticus:

322

Feeding studies with DP2 and DP3: Supplementation of MRS media with DP2 and DP3, showed

323

no improvement in log CFU/mL and A600nm when compared to FOS except in L. casei where

324

marginal improvement (0.51 log CFU/mL and 1.1 fold A600nm) in growth parameters was found.

325

Surprisingly, in comparison to glucose, supplementation of MRS media with DP2 and DP3

326

resulted in lower (1.11 to 1.73 fold) A600nm and marginally higher (0.19 to 0.54) log CFU/mL. In

327

comparison to negative control, supplementation of MRS media with DP2 and DP3 resulted in

328

better growth (1.35 to 2.5 log CFU/mL and 3.9 to 8.28 fold A600nm). A shift in media pH towards

329

acidic side (up to 1.1 units) was observed in most cultures.

330

Feeding studies with DP5: Supplementation with DP5 resulted in lowering of growth parameters

331

(0.16 to 1.88 log CFU/mL and 2.6 to 7.2 fold A600nm, respectively) when compared to FOS or

332

glucose. The growth was higher (0.17 to 2.16 log CFU/mL and 1.42 to 2 fold A600nm) only when

333

compared to negative control. A shift in media pH towards acidic side (up to 0.8 units) was

334

observed in most cultures (Table 3).

335

The reasons for better growth response of various tested lactobacilli when fed with DP2

336

and DP3 β-MOS as compared with DP5 β-MOS could be the inherent difference in their

337

carbohydrate fermentation pathways and uptake mechanisms, composition of oligomeric units,

338

and chemical structure along with water solubility.43

339

oligosaccharides of shorter chain length have high water solubility and are quickly fermented,

340

while long chain NDOs are known to be steadily fermented.44 Moura et al.24 found that, L. brevis

341

preferred xylo-oligosaccharides with an average DP of 2 rather than DP 5-6. In other reports,

It has been shown earlier that



Page 16 of 36

342

mixed mannooligosaccharides from copra meal exhibited prebiotic effect by stimulating the

343

growth of Bifidobacterium infantis and Lactobacillus acidophilus.10

344

Utilization and growth by Lactobacillus spp. on commercial mannobiose (CDP2):

345

Presence of CDP2 (mannopyranose β-1,4 mannopyranose) in MRS media increased the log

346

CFU/mL values (0.02 to 0.36) of L. casei var. rhamnosus, L. fermentum, L. acidophilus and L.

347

brevis while the growth of L. casei, L. plantarum and L. helveticus was found to decrease (0.03

348

to 0.26 log CFU/mL) when compared with glucose. The CDP2 was more preferable (increase of

349

0.03 to 0.36 in log CFU/mL values) than FOS in case of L. casei var. rhamnosus, L. fermentum,

350

L. plantarum and L. helveticus. All the cultures exhibited higher growth (0.88 to 1.9 log

351

CFU/mL) on CDP2 than negative control. A shift in media pH (up to 0.6 units) towards acidic

352

side after fermentation was observed in most cultures.

353

The overall growth obtained on CDP2 was less in various Lactobacillus spp. than ManB-

354

1601 derived DP2 and DP3. The reason for this could be that disaccharides with linkages of 1-2,

355

1-4, and 1-6 are known to generate a high prebiotic index score while mannose containing

356

disaccharides give a low prebiotic index in lactobacilli45 and substituted galactose units in DP2

357

and DP3 could be amenable to α-galactosidases present in Lactobacillus spp.

358

for the substrate promiscuity between ManB-1601 derived DP2, and DP3 in terms of growth in

359

Lactobacillus spp. are difficult to comprehend, as the enzyme systems which are responsible for

360

cleavage of such β-MOS are not known.

361

Utilization and growth by E. coli, L. monocytogenes and S. typhi:

362

The growth of pathogens was lower (up to 0.70 log CFU/mL) in DP2, DP3, and DP5

363

supplemented TSB media when compared with glucose. However, the extent of pathogen

364

inhibition by β-MOS was different as it is known to vary with DP, molecular weight and type of

46, 47

The reasons


Page 17 of 36


365

functional group present in an oligosaccharide.48 CDP2 supplementation reduced the growth of

366

E. coli and S. typhi, (up to 0.14 log CFU/mL) but marginally promoted L. monocytogenes (0.06

367

log CFU/mL) when compared to glucose. All the food borne pathogens exhibited good

368

correlation between A600nm and log CFU/mL values.

369

Acetate was found as the major SCFA in all the tested probiotic strains and its presence

370

could be one of the reasons for the fall in pH of fermented broth. Our studies on in vitro

371

fermentation of guar gum degradation products by lactobacilli too showed acetate as the chief

372

SCFA component.18 Probiotic bacteria produce SCFAs as an end product of carbohydrate

373

fermentation mediated by glycolytic enzyme and they are known to display several physiological

374

benefits. Acetate in particular has been shown to be beneficial for human muscle, kidney, heart

375

and brain.49 Finally, the following conclusions can be made from in vitro fermentation studies:

376

1) DP3 oligosaccharide supported the growth of all the tested Lactobacillus spp.; 2) DP2

377

oligosaccharide supported the growth of all the tested Lactobacillus spp. except L. helveticus; 3)

378

CDP2 did not support the growth of L. casei, L. plantarum and L. helveticus; 4) DP5 did not

379

support the growth of L. plantarum and L. helveticus, L. casei var. rhamnosus, L. fermentum, L.

380

acidophilus and L. brevis; and, 5) DP2, DP3, and DP5 reduced the growth of E. coli, L.

381

monocytogenes and S. typhi but CDP2 reduced the growth of only E. coli and S. typhi.

382

In conclusion, our studies elucidated that ManB-1601 produced DP2, DP3 and DP5 β-

383

MOS from locust bean gum and belongs to a select group of endo-β-1,4-mannanase which can

384

produce substituted oligosaccharides with galactose at terminal position. In vitro fermentation

385

studies show that the DP2 and DP3 β-MOS were utilised efficiently by various lactobacilli for

386

growth and appear as potential prebiotic candidates when compared to the oligosaccharides (FOS

387

control) available on the market. At present, we are deciphering the hydrolytic action mechanism 17 ACS Paragon Plus Environment


Page 18 of 36

388

of ManB-1601 apart from key determinants responsible for the molecular cross-talk between β-

389

MOS and Lactobacillus spp. with an overall aim to develop potent functional foods based on β-

390

MOS.
