标题:β-Galactosidase from strains isolated from breast milk and infant saliva: characterization and participation in absorption of different oligosaccharides
摘要:Lactobacillus are Gram-positive anaerobic bacteria that naturally occur in the human
intestinal tract. They are considered to be beneficial commensals for human health
because they prevent the growth of pathogenic bacteria by lowering the intestinal pH
and stimulate the host’s immune system to enhance antipathogenic and
anticarcinogenic activities. The intestines of breastfed infants are colonized by
Lactobacillus within a week after birth, in comparison with those of bottle-fed infants.
In our study, we have isolated bacterial strains of breast milk and infants saliva. The
isolates were identified by 16S RNA and API identification. This report details the
ability of the isolated strain to metabolized human milk oligosaccharides and we
clarified that HMOs was sequentially degraded by different glycosidases. We studied
the potential of β-galactosidases from studied strains to metabolize carbohydrates
from breast milk. We investigated the β-galactosidase activity after cultivation of
medium containing different concentration HMOs, lactose and some oligosaccharides.
