Elucidating the Connection Between the Health-Promoting Properties of Limosilactobacillus fermentum Lf2 and Its Exopolysaccharides

The potential probiotic properties of Limosilactobacillus fermentum Lf2, an exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing strain, were assessed in C57BL/6 mice. The aim of this work was to elucidate if these properties could be associated with the ability to produce EPSs. Mice were divided into three treatments...

description The potential probiotic properties of Limosilactobacillus fermentum Lf2, an exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing strain, were assessed in C57BL/6 mice. The aim of this work was to elucidate if these properties could be associated with the ability to produce EPSs. Mice were divided into three treatments: L (mice treated with Lf2), E (animals that received EPSs), and C (control group). The levels of fecal acetic and propionic acids significantly increased in L and E compared with C. Catalase activity increased in L in comparison with the other groups in the liver and small intestine. The enzyme activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione S-transferase increased in the large intestine for L compared with C. In addition, in the large intestine, the concentration of TNF-α was reduced in L and E in comparison with C. In the small intestine, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-12, and IL-6 presented lower levels in L and E than C. The analysis of the gut microbiota showed that L presented higher levels of Peptococcaceae and Rikenellaceae, while E had higher levels of Peptococcaceae than C. Overall, these results provide new insights into the relationship between the probiotic properties of lactic acid bacteria and their ability to produce EPSs.
