Air-dried and chopped rice straw was treated with either fermentation for 30 d after adding 1.5 L nutrient solution（50 m L inocula L–1, 1.2×1012 CFU m L–1 inocula） kg–1 straw dry matter, or spraying a large amount of culture broth（1.5 L kg–1 straw dry matter, 1.5×1011 CFU m L–1 culture broth） on the straw and allowing it to adsorb for 30 min. The feed quality and aerobic stability of the resulting forage were examined. Both treatments improved the feed quality of rice straw, and adsorption was better than fermentation for preserving nutrients and improving digestibility, as evidenced by higher dry matter（DM） and crude protein（CP） concentrations, lower neutral detergent fiber（NDF）, acid detergent fiber（ADF） and NH3-N concentrations, as well as higher lactic acid production and in vitro digestibility of DM（IVDMD）. The aerobic stability of the adsorbed straw and the fermented straw was 392 and 480 h, respectively. After being exposed to air, chemical components and microbial community of the fermented straw were more stable than the adsorbed straw.展开更多

Rhizoma coptidis has been used for more than two thousand years in China to treat diarrhea, fever, and jaundice. In this study, the anti-MRSA activity of Rhizoma coptidis is examined and its effective components sought. METHODS： The mecA and norA genes were determined by PCR amplification and sequencing. Drug susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC43300 was performed using the VITEK2 compact system. The chemical fingerprint of Rhizoma coptidis was investigated using HPLC and preparative liquid chromatography, and the anti-MRSA activity was determined using an improved broth microdilution method. RESULTS： The drug susceptibility test revealed that the penicillin-binding protein phenotype of the strain changed in comparison to penicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus. Ten batches of Rhizoma coptidis showed anti-MRSA activity on the norA-negative Staphylococcus aureus strain, as well as the strain that contained a norA gene. The spectrum-effect relationship revealed that the berberine alkaloids were the effective components, within which berberine, coptisine, palmatine, epiberberine,, and jatrorrhizine were the major components. CONCLUSION： This study lays a foundation for in vivo studies of Rhizoma eoptidis and for the development of multi-component drugs.展开更多

Through the optimization of the carbon source, three kinds of S. epidermidis fermentation broth were obtained and designated as SFB, Gly-SFB, and Glu-SFB, which were cultivated in beef protein medium and the beef protein medium supplemented with glycerol or glucose, respectively. The differences in antioxidant efficacy of SFB, Gly-SFB and Glu-SFB were investigated by evaluating intracellular ROS fluorescence intensity, SOD enzyme activity and MDA concentration. Gly-SFB and Glu-SFB exhibited a greater capacity to eliminate ROS as compared to that of SFB. The intracellular SOD enzyme activity increased as the concentrations of SFB and Gly-SFB increased. Nevertheless, the intracellular SOD enzyme activity was the highest after the treatment with Glu-SFB at the low concentrations. The intracellular MDA content reached a lower value after the treatment with Gly-SFB and Glu-SFB at lower concentrations, which was opposite to the case after the treatment with SFB. WB indicated that the S. epidermidis fermentation broth regulated the expression of relevant proteins in the Nrf2-Keap1 signaling pathway to exhibit the antioxidant effects. This indicates that the S. epidermidis fermentation broth promotes the expression of relevant proteins in the Nrf2-Keap1 signaling pathway, consequently, antioxidant benefits were exerted. The fermentation broth that were prepared by incorporating glycerol or glucose into the culture medium can augment their antioxidant activity.展开更多

文摘To improve the nutritional value and the palatability of air-dried rice straw, culture broth of the lactic acid bacteria community SFC-2 was used to examine the effects of two different treatments, fermentation and adsorption. Air-dried and chopped rice straw was treated with either fermentation for 30 d after adding 1.5 L nutrient solution（50 m L inocula L–1, 1.2×1012 CFU m L–1 inocula） kg–1 straw dry matter, or spraying a large amount of culture broth（1.5 L kg–1 straw dry matter, 1.5×1011 CFU m L–1 culture broth） on the straw and allowing it to adsorb for 30 min. The feed quality and aerobic stability of the resulting forage were examined. Both treatments improved the feed quality of rice straw, and adsorption was better than fermentation for preserving nutrients and improving digestibility, as evidenced by higher dry matter（DM） and crude protein（CP） concentrations, lower neutral detergent fiber（NDF）, acid detergent fiber（ADF） and NH3-N concentrations, as well as higher lactic acid production and in vitro digestibility of DM（IVDMD）. The aerobic stability of the adsorbed straw and the fermented straw was 392 and 480 h, respectively. After being exposed to air, chemical components and microbial community of the fermented straw were more stable than the adsorbed straw.

In this study, the anti-MRSA activity of Rhizoma coptidis is examined and its effective components sought. METHODS： The mecA and norA genes were determined by PCR amplification and sequencing. Drug susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC43300 was performed using the VITEK2 compact system. The chemical fingerprint of Rhizoma coptidis was investigated using HPLC and preparative liquid chromatography, and the anti-MRSA activity was determined using an improved broth microdilution method. RESULTS： The drug susceptibility test revealed that the penicillin-binding protein phenotype of the strain changed in comparison to penicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus. Ten batches of Rhizoma coptidis showed anti-MRSA activity on the norA-negative Staphylococcus aureus strain, as well as the strain that contained a norA gene. The spectrum-effect relationship revealed that the berberine alkaloids were the effective components, within which berberine, coptisine, palmatine, epiberberine,, and jatrorrhizine were the major components. CONCLUSION： This study lays a foundation for in vivo studies of Rhizoma eoptidis and for the development of multi-component drugs.

文摘More and more studies have reported the role of Paecilomyces hepiali polysaccharides in bidirectional regulation(immune enhancement and anti-inflammatory).However,there are few collaborative studies on the structure,immune enhancement,and anti-inflammatory effects of polysaccharides from the fermentation broth of P.hepiali(PHP)and the mechanisms are still unclear.The present study aimed to clarify the mechanism underlying the dual-immunomodulatory(immune enhancement and anti-inflammatory).PHP40 was precipitated with 40%ethanol from PHP40 and further purified to obtain PHP40-2.The chemical characteristics of PHP40-2 was analyzed by chemical and instrumental analyses,and the double immunomodulatory effects of RAW264.7 macrophages were investigated.PHP40-2 was a heteropolysaccharide composed of→4,6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→,→6)-α-D-Manp-(1→,α-D-Glcp-(1→,and→4)-β-D-Galp-(1→,and its molecular weight was 6.2×10^(5) Da.The nitric oxide(No)production,phagocytosis activity,and cytokine secretion were significantly increased(P<0.05)after PHP40-2 treatment;however,PHP40-2 could inhibit No production and cytokine secretion in LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophages(P<0.05).After mRNA and protein expression analysis,toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)signaling pathway was discovered to play an important role in the dual-immunomodulatory effects of PHP40-2.This study reveals that the fermentation broth of PHP is also a valuable resource and PHP40-2 has the potential to be developed as a novel functional food.
文摘In this work, Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) was used to prepare the fermentation broths with antioxidant activity. Through the optimization of the carbon source, three kinds of S. epidermidis fermentation broth were obtained and designated as SFB, Gly-SFB, and Glu-SFB, which were cultivated in beef protein medium and the beef protein medium supplemented with glycerol or glucose, respectively. The differences in antioxidant efficacy of SFB, Gly-SFB and Glu-SFB were investigated by evaluating intracellular ROS fluorescence intensity, SOD enzyme activity and MDA concentration. Gly-SFB and Glu-SFB exhibited a greater capacity to eliminate ROS as compared to that of SFB. The intracellular SOD enzyme activity increased as the concentrations of SFB and Gly-SFB increased. Nevertheless, the intracellular SOD enzyme activity was the highest after the treatment with Glu-SFB at the low concentrations. The intracellular MDA content reached a lower value after the treatment with Gly-SFB and Glu-SFB at lower concentrations, which was opposite to the case after the treatment with SFB. WB indicated that the S. epidermidis fermentation broth regulated the expression of relevant proteins in the Nrf2-Keap1 signaling pathway to exhibit the antioxidant effects. This indicates that the S. epidermidis fermentation broth promotes the expression of relevant proteins in the Nrf2-Keap1 signaling pathway, consequently, antioxidant benefits were exerted. The fermentation broth that were prepared by incorporating glycerol or glucose into the culture medium can augment their antioxidant activity.

文摘The black soldier fly(BSF),Hermetia illucens(Diptera:Stratiomyidae),is an insect commonly used for the bioconversion of various organic wastes.Not only can the BSF convert organic waste into macromolecular organic substances,such as insect pro-teins,but it can also lessen the pollution associated with these waste products by reducing ammonia emissions,for example.In this study,we measured the effects of adding fruit fermentation broth(Fer)and commercial lactic acid bacteria fermentation broth(Em)to kitchen waste(KW),as deodorizing auxiliary substances,on the growth performance of black soldier fly larvae(BSFL),the intestinal flora structure of BSFL,the ammonia emis-sion from the KW substrate,and the microbial community structure of the KW substrate.We found that the addition of Fer or Em increased the body weight of BSFL after 6 d of culture,increasing the growth rate by 9.96%and 7.96%,respectively.The addition of Fer not only reduced the pH of the KW substrate but also increased the relative abundance of probiotics,such as Lactobacillus,Lysinibacillus,and Vagococcus,which inhibited the growth of ammonifiers such as Bacillus,Oligella,Paenalcaligenes,Paenibacillus,Pseu-dogracilibacillus,and Pseudomonas,resulting in the reduction of ammonia emission in the KW substrate.Moreover,the addition of Fer or Em significantly increased the rela-tive abundances of Bacteroides,Campylobacter,Dysgonomonas,Enterococcus,and Ig-natzschineria in the gut of BSFL and increased the species diversity and richness in the K W substrate.Our findings provide a novel way to improve the conversion rate of organic waste and reduce the environmental pollution caused by BSF.
