Abstract
In this study, comprehensive whole-genome sequencing and comparative analysis of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) bioactivity of L. rhamnosus YT, a strain isolated from the feces of long-lived elderly individuals in Bama, Guangxi, were conducted. The genome of L. rhamnosus YT was revealed to be a circular chromosomal DNA of 2,961,987 bp, exhibiting a GC content of 46.73 % and encoding 2992 genes. Comparative genomic analysis with five other L. rhamnosus strains revealed significant collinearity in gene structure and function, yet differences were observed in gene inversions and the number of unique genes. Functional annotation demonstrated that L. rhamnosus YT possessed significant advantages in carbohydrate transport and metabolism, particularly with respect to key enzymes involved in the EPS synthesis pathway and sugar transport systems. Furthermore, a comparative assessment of the antioxidant activity, cholesterol adsorption capacity, and α-amylase inhibition activity between EPS produced by L. rhamnosus YT (EPS-YT) and L. rhamnosus GG (EPS-GG) showed that EPS-YT exhibited superior activities, especially in DPPH radical scavenging activity and cholesterol adsorption capacity. These findings provided profound insights into the genetic characteristics and adaptability of the L. rhamnosus YT, establishing a scientific foundation for its potential applications in probiotics and functional foods.
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.
