Moreover, the growth of bifidobacteria is known to be inhibited in a culture medium that does not contain glutamic acid. Based on these reports, we hypothesized that the combined intake of traditional prebiotics and glutamic acid would be beneficial for growth of bifidobacteria in the gut. In this study, we investigated the effects of the combination of galactooligosaccharide (GOS; traditional prebiotic material) and poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA; source of glutamic acid) and only GOS on the intestinal microbiota and health conditions (including intestinal regulation, mood status, gastrointestinal condition, skin condition, and sleep quality) in a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group comparison trial in healthy subjects. The combined intake of GOS and γ-PGA significantly increased the prevalence of <i>B. longum</i> compared to the intake of GOS alone. A minimum effective dose of 2.0 g GOS and 0.3 g γ-PGA improved defecation and mood status.

We selected one of the nine media to support the growth of a bacterial community most similar in composition and diversity to that observed in pig donor feces. Supplementation with wakame altered the microbial profile and short-chain fatty acid composition in the ex vivo model, and a similar trajectory was observed in the in vivo pig experimental validation. Notably, the presence of wakame increased the abundance of Lactobacillus species, which may have been due to cross-feeding with Bacteroides.

There was an evident increase in urinary calcium concentration when the inulin diet was fed at the beginning of the resting period. The <i>Claudin 2</i> (<i>Cldn2</i>) expression level also showed a significant day-night change, which seemed to be a mechanism for the increased calcium excretion after inulin intake. This diurnal rhythm and enhanced <i>Cldn2</i> expression were abolished by disruption of the suprachiasmatic nucleus, the central clock in the hypothalamus.

The intestinal tract contains many viruses: most are bacteriophages (phages) that infect intestinal bacteria rather than viruses that infect human cells. Phages have very high specificity for their host bacteria. Therefore, phage therapy is considered potentially useful for controlling intestinal commensal pathogens. However, the intestinal tract is a specialized, anaerobic environment, and it is impossible to isolate phages that infect host intestinal bacteria if the bacteria cannot be cultured.

Some of these strains have been introduced into various markets, including that for infant products. However, certain probiotic strains have been linked to serious infections in infants, such as septicemia and meningitis. Given this, it is crucial to assess the safety of each probiotic strain, including those of Bifidobacterium, which is a common genus of probiotics. One such strain, Bifidobacterium bifidum OLB6378 (NITE BP-31), referred to as OLB6378 hereafter, has been selected for use in infants. To determine its genotoxicity and general toxicity potential, a heat-treated OLB6378 concentrate was subjected to various tests, including the bacterial reverse mutation test, in vitro chromosome aberration test, in vivo micronucleus test, and single- and 90-day oral gavage toxicity studies in rats. No significant differences were observed compared with negative controls in any of genotoxicity tests. The single-dose toxicity study employed dose levels of 560, 1,693, and 5,092 mg/kg, representing the total solid contents of culture concentrates containing OLB6378 (equivalent to 8.1 × 1011, 2.4 × 1012, and 7.4 × 1012 cells/kg of Bifidobacterium, respectively). In the 90-day toxicity study, dose levels of 280, 853, and 2,546 mg/kg/day were used (equivalent to 4.0 × 1011, 1.2 × 1012, and 3.7 × 1012 cells/kg/day, respectively). Importantly, the heat-treated OLB6378 concentrate did not induce any signs of toxicity in any of the conducted toxicity studies. In conclusion, the heat-treated OLB6378 concentrate exhibited no genotoxicity potential, and the no-observed-adverse-effect level in the 90-day toxicity study was determined to be 2,546 mg/kg/day (equivalent to 3.7 × 1012 cells/kg/day).
