Abstract
This study systematically investigated the modulatory effects of Porphyra haitanensis polysaccharides (PHP) and its two P. haitanensis polysaccharide components (PHP40 and PHP80) on gut microbiota in ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized mice via in vitro fermentation. PHP40 and PHP80 exhibited sulfate contents of 5.94 ± 0.05 % and 11.72 ± 0.03 %, respectively, with galactose and glucose as dominant monosaccharides. The different polysaccharide components had different effects on the aforementioned changes in the species composition and structure of the gut microbiota in allergic mice, with distinct dominant microbial profiles across groups. PHP could promote Bacillus and Enterococcus proliferation while inhibiting Staphylococcus. PHP40 and PHP80 could promote Enterococcus and Enterobacter growth but suppressed Staphylococcus and Bacillus. Functional prediction indicated PHP significantly improved galactose metabolism and primary/secondary bile acid biosynthesis, potentially alleviating allergic responses.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Biological Macromolecules is a well-established international journal dedicated to research on the chemical and biological aspects of natural macromolecules. Focusing on proteins, macromolecular carbohydrates, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, lignins, biological poly-acids, and nucleic acids, the journal presents the latest findings in molecular structure, properties, biological activities, interactions, modifications, and functional properties. Papers must offer new and novel insights, encompassing related model systems, structural conformational studies, theoretical developments, and analytical techniques. Each paper is required to primarily focus on at least one named biological macromolecule, reflected in the title, abstract, and text.
