| Popis: | Yeast mannan (YM) is an indigestible water-soluble polysaccharide of the yeast cell wall, with a notable prebiotic effect on the intestinal microbiota. We previously reported that YM increased Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron abundance in in vitro rat faeces fermentation, concluding that its effects on human colonic microbiota should be investigated. In this study, we show the effects of YM on human colonic microbiota and its metabolites using an in vitro human faeces fermentation system. Bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that YM administration did not change the microbial diversity or composition. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis revealed that YM administration significantly increased the relative abundance of Bacteroides ovatus and B. thetaiotaomicron. Moreover, a positive correlation was observed between the relative ratio (with or without YM administration) of B. thetaiotaomicron and B. ovatus (r = 0.92), suggesting that these bacteria utilise YM in a coordinated manner. In addition, YM administration increased the production of acetate, propionate, and total short-chain fatty acids. These results demonstrate the potential of YM as a novel prebiotic that selectively increases B. thetaiotaomicron and B. ovatus and improves the intestinal environment. The findings also provide insights that might be useful for the development of novel functional foods. |
