The present work aimed to identify probiotic candidates from Lithuanian homemade fermented food samples. A total of 23 lactic acid bacteria were isolated different Among these, only 12 showed resistance low pH, tolerance pepsin, bile salts, and pancreatin. strains also exhibited antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Salmonella Typhimurium 14028, Streptococcus pyogenes 12384, 19615, Klebsiella pneumoniae 13883. Cell-free supernatants isolate 3A 55w the strongest...
The global increase in prevalence of (pre-)diabetes demands immediate intervention strategies. In our earlier work, we demonstrated vitro antidiabetic potential a fermented beetroot product (PN39). Here, examined the impact PN39 on glucose tolerance and gut microbiota C57BL/6J male mice prediabetic (PD) subjects' stool microbiota. mice, high-fat diet (HFD) consumption for 9 weeks resulted hyperglycemia impaired (GT) while concomitant HFD (PN39+HFD) prevented GT impairment. Meanwhile, feeding...
Dental caries is attributed to the predominance of cariogenic microorganisms. Cariogenic microorganisms are pathological factors leading acidification oral microenvironment, which related initiation and progression caries. The accepted microorganism Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans). However, studies have found that could occur in absence S. mutans. This study aimed assess presence potentially human teeth biofilm. were isolated from mouth freshly extracted maxillary incisors for reasons...
Diabetes is becoming a global pandemic and therefore calls for diverse therapeutic strategies mitigating the disease. In this study, lactic acid bacteria isolated from Lithuanian traditional fermented foods were screened β-Glucosidase activity used to ferment beetroot develop an antidiabetic product. After fermentation, LAB PN39MY (also referred as PN39) samples demonstrated strongest DPP-IV α-Glucosidase inhibitory abilities of 50.0 ± 3.5% 80.5 5% respectively well highest antioxidant...
Enzyme treatment and fermentation of cereals are known processes that enhance the release bound bioactive compounds to make them available for bioactivity. In this study, we tested angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory ability destarched rice, Prozyme 2000p treated rice (DP), fermented DP samples. increased ACE from 15 ± 5% 45 3%. Fermentation samples with Enterococcus faecium EBD1 significantly 75 5%, while captopril showed an inhibition 92 4%. An untargeted metabolomics approach...
The antioxidant and antidiabetic properties metabolite profiling of ethanol extracts red cabbage (RC) broccoli (BR) seeds sprouts were investigated in this study. total phenolic, flavonoid, saponin contents the ranges 385.4–480.4 mg FAE/100 g, 206.9–215.6 CE/100 17.8–27.0 soysaponin BE/100 respectively. BR seed had highest phenolic (480.4 g) flavonoid (216.9 contents, whereas sprout content (27.0 BE/100g). RC demonstrated capacity, with DPPH ABTS radical scavenging activity levels 71.5%...
Soy consumption may reduce hypertension but the impact of food processing on antihypertensive effect is unclear. Hence, we ascertained effects lacto-fermented (FSB) and unfermented soybean (USB) serum atherogenic lipids, gut microbiota spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR). FSB displayed a strong in vitro angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory ability 70 ± 5% while USB inhibited 5 3% activity. Consumption reduced ACE activity by 19.8 12.85 U 47.6 11.35 U, respectively. significantly...
The study aimed to investigate the antibacterial activity of Mustard (Brassica juncea) and Moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaf extracts coagulant protein for their potential application in water treatment. Bacterial cell aggregation growth kinetics studies were employed thirteen bacterial strains with different concentrations protein. oleifera extract (MOS) showed against ten strains, whereas alone inhibition five up 6 h 3 h. Brassica juncea (BJS) h, three highest concentration 2.5 mg/mL was 19...
Here we report the draft genome sequence of Latilactobacillus curvatus PN39MY strain. The strain was isolated from Lithuanian traditionally (homemade) fermented cucumber. consisted 83 contigs with a total size 1,899,018 bp, an N50 40562 and GC% 42.1. After trimming, were annotated 1910 genes coding sequences. average nucleotide identity (ANI) between curvatus_ZJUNIT8 99.45% identifying as curvatus. No related to antimicrobial resistance or virulence factors found. data presented here can be...
