Symbiotic pectin microparticles with native Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) enhance Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. tolerans survival
Rev Argent Microbiol. 2021 Apr 24:S0325-7541(21)00043-2. doi: 10.1016/j.ram.2021.03.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe synergistic effect of microencapsulation in pectin microgels and inulin extracted from native crops of Jerusalem artichoke (JAI) was evaluated as a natural strategy to increase the survival of Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. tolerans F2 selected for its probiotic properties in Oncorhynchus mykiss. The strain was able to grow and ferment JAI in modified MRS broth, increasing cell population (∼+5 log units) with a net decrease in pH (6.2±0.2 to 4.0±0.5). Encapsulation of F2 in pectin microgels in the ...

Improvement of glutathione production by a metabolically engineered Yarrowia lipolytica strain using a small-scale optimization approach.
CONCLUSION: From the obtained results, it could be observed that the model established from small scale culture (i.e. 2 mL) is able to predict performance at larger scale (i.e. 2 L bioreactor, two orders of magnitude scale-up). Moreover, the results highlight the ability of the optimized process to ensure high titer of glutathione using a low-cost carbon source.

Efficient biosynthesis of exopolysaccharide from Jerusalem artichoke using a novel strain of Bacillus velezensis LT-2.
This study focused on the non-grain biorefining of Jerusalem artichoke (JA) for exopolysaccharide (EPS) efficient production by using Bacillus velezensis LT-2. Results showed that LT-2 could directly utilize JA tuber power (JATP) for EPS production, and its EPS yield reached 11.47 ± 0.33 g/L in the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) mode. Furthermore, the SSF mode shortened the fermentation period by 26.67% and reduced the fermentation cost by 79.41% due to the improved substrate utilization and the avoidance of inhibition effects of a high fructose concentration. Transcriptome sequencing results show...

Microbiome of root vegetables-a source of gluten-degrading bacteria.
Abstract
Gluten is a cereal protein that is incompletely digested by human proteolytic enzymes that create immunogenic peptides that accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Although both environmental and human bacteria have been shown to expedite gluten hydrolysis, gluten intolerance is a growing concern. Here we hypothesize that together with food, we acquire environmental bacteria that could impact our GIT with gluten-degrading bacteria. Using in vitro gastrointestinal simulation conditions, we evaluated the capacity of endophytic bacteria that inhabit root vegetables, potato (Solanum tuberosum)...

Lewandowska
The aim of the research was to investigate the effect of biogas plant waste on the physiological activity, growth, and yield of Jerusalem artichoke and the energetic usefulness of the biomass obtained in this way after the torrefaction process. The use of waste from corn grain biodigestion to methane as a biofertilizer, used alone or supplemented with Apol-humus and Stymjod, caused increased the physiological activity, growth, and yield of Jerusalem artichoke plants and can limit the application of chemical fertilizers, whose production and use in agriculture is harmful for the environment. The experim...

Authors: Sawicka B, Skiba D, Pszczółkowski P, Aslan I, Sharifi-Rad J, Krochmal-Marczak B
Abstract
Identifying the nutritional and health properties of Helianthus tuberosus, and learning more about this valuable species. It is believed that increased consumption of Jerusalem artichoke (JA) products is related to low blood pressure. One of many questions to answer is whether supplementation of inulin and inulin derivatives obtained from Helianthus tuberosus tubers and aerial parts can be used as antidiabetic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-fungistatic, anti-constipation, body mass-reducing, metabolism-improving ...
