In this study, a complex of sulfated rhamnose polysaccharides with Glucose metabolism chromium(III) (SRPC) was synthesized, and its effect on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in mice fed a high-fat, Hypoglycemic high-sucrose diet was investigated. The molecular weight of SRPC is 4.57 kDa, and its chromium content is Mice 28 μg/mg. Results indicated that mice treated by oral administration of SRPC (10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg body Sulfated rhamnose polysaccharides mass per day) for 11 weeks showed significantly improved oral glucose tolerance, decreased body mass gain, reduced serum insulin levels, and increased tissue glycogen content relative to T2DM mice (p < 0.01). SRPC treatment improved glucose metabolism via activation of the IR/IRS-2/PI3K/PKB/GSK-3β signaling pathway (which is related to glycogen synthesis) and enhanced glucose transport through insulin signaling casca- de–induced GLUT4 translocation. Because of its effectiveness and stability, SRPC could be used as a therapeutic agent for blood glucose control and a promising nutraceutical for T2DM treatment.

LIN'* Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115,1 and Department ofBiochemistry, Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts 022542 Received 6 January 1987/Accepted 21 May 1987 Dissimilation of L-fucose as a carbon and energy source by Escherichia coli involves a permease, an isomerase, a kinase, and an aldolase encoded by the fuc regulon at minute 60.2. Utilization of L-rhamnose involves a similar set of proteins encoded by the rha operon at minute 87.7. Both pathways lead to the formation of L-lactaldehyde and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. A common NAD-linked oxidoreductase encoded by fucO serves to reduce L-lactaldehyde to L-1,2-propanediol under anaerobic growth conditions, irrespective of whether the aldehyde is derived from fucose or rhamnose. In this study it was shown that anaerobic growth on rhamnose induces expression of not only thefucO gene but also the entirefuc regulon. Rhamnose is unable to induce the fuc genes in mutants defective in rhaA (encoding L-rhamnose isomerase), rhaB (encoding L-rhamnulose kinase), rhaD (encoding L-rhamnulose 1-phosphate aldolase), rhaR (encoding the positive regulator for the rha structural genes), or fucR (encoding the positive regulator for the fuc regulon). Thus, cross-induction of the L-fucose enzymes by rhamnose requires formation of L-lactaldehyde; either the aldehyde itself or the L-fuculose 1-phosphate (known to be an effector) formed from it then interacts with the fucR-encoded protein to induce the fuc regulon.

  • The Immunomodulatory Properties of L-Rhamnose
    The Immunomodulatory Properties of L-Rhamnose Mimmi Lundahl M.Sc. Immunology Supervisors: Prof. Ed Lavelle and Prof. Eoin Scanlan Report prepared for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Immunology School of Biochemistry and Immunology, School of Chemistry Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute Trinity College Dublin 2020 I hereby certify that this report is entirely my own work, and that the contents have not been published elsewhere in paper or electronic form unless indicated through referencing. i Abstract L-Rhamnose is a non-mammalian monosaccharide ubiquitously found on the surface of both commensal and pathogenic bacteria. Previous publications had identified that L-rhamnose-rich Mycobacterium tuberculosis glycolipids, and their structural derivatives, pHBADs, were able to aid this pathogen’s ability to escape immune elimination by repressing protective immune responses. A key immune cell for combatting M. tuberculosis is the macrophage, an innate immune cell present in essentially all tissues. A distinguishing feature of macrophages is their polarisation combined with plasticity; the ability to adopt distinct phenotypes. These are simplified into the pro-inflammatory and bactericidal, “classically activated” M1 macrophages and the “alternatively activated” Th2-promoting and anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages. To combat M. tuberculosis, M1 macrophage activation is critical. In the research presented herein, it is demonstrated that L-rhamnose skews macrophage polarisation away from a bactericidal phenotype and enhances M2 characteristics. Furthermore, it is revealed that L-rhamnose is capable of inducing macrophage innate memory, causing responses elicited by subsequent stimuli, a week after L-rhamnose incubation, to yield a more anti-inflammatory and anti-bactericidal profile. This is presented both as induction of the regulatory cytokine IL-10, as well as reduced expression of iNOS mRNA.

The xanthan gum and rhamnolipid produced exhibited excellent viscosity and emulsifying activity characteristics, and better pseudoplasic rheological behaviour than conventional chemical EOR compounds. EOR benefits of incremental oil production, coupled with the use of waste products to produce the compounds employed, minimize the environmental impact of EOR methods employing such compounds.

Abstract: Polysaccharides such as β-2,1-linked fructans including inulin or fructose oligosaccharides are well-known prebiotics with recognised immunomodulatory properties. In recent years, other fructan types covering β-2,6-linked fructans, particularly microbial levans, have gained increasing interest in the field. β-2,6-linked fructans of different degrees of polymerisation can be synthesised by plants or microbes including those that reside in the gastrointestinal tract. Accumulating evidence suggests a role for these β-2,6 fructans in modulating immune function. Here, we provide an overview of the sources and structures of β-2,6 fructans from plants and microbes and describe their ability to modulate immune function in vitro and in vivo along with the suggested mechanisms underpinning their immunomodulatory properties. Further, we discuss the limitations and perspectives pertinent to current studies and the potential applications of β-2,6 fructans including in gut health.

The copyright holder for this preprint (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder. All rights reserved. No reuse allowed without permission. Abstract The food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is able to form proteinaceous organelles called bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) that optimize the utilization of substrates, such as 1,2-propanediol, and confer an anaerobic growth advantage. Rhamnose is a deoxyhexose sugar abundant in a range of environments including the human intestine, and can be degraded in anaerobic conditions into 1,2-propanediol, next to acetate and lactate. Rhamnose-derived 1,2-propanediol has been found to link with BMCs in a limited number of commensal human colonic species and some human pathogens such as Salmonella enterica, but the involvement of BMCs in rhamnose metabolism and potential physiological effects on L. monocytogenes are still unknown.

Mudoi*, P. Bharali and B. K. Konwar Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Tezpur University, Tezpur, Assam-784028, India Abstract Waste residual molasses, a non-edible portion produced during the processing of sugarcane juice for the preparation of molasses, may be an alternative low-cost renewable substrate to the pricey food-grade molasses for xanthan production. Systematic strategies were applied to improve xanthan production with a newly isolated indigenous strain Xanthomonas campestris originated from Tezpur, Assam. Analyses with TLC, HPLC and FTIR show that the polymer consisted mainly of glucose, galactose and glucornic acid but showed no evidence of xylose, arabinose or glycoprotein in the polysaccharide. The isolated xanthan exhibited all the required physico-chemical characteristics and were examined by using TGA, DSC, XRD and SEM. Maximum concentration of xanthan was observed after 24h of incubation of the culture media, pH 7 at 28°C with 200 rpm. The viscosity of xanthan was found to be stable over a wide range of pH, reduced with the increase in temperature and raised at the higher xanthan concentration. The results obtained in the present investigation are noteworthy for the possible xanthan production from low-cost waste residual molasses at an industrial level.

    Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology https://doi.org/10.1007/s00253-019-09640-2 MINI-REVIEW Biotechnological production of glycolic acid and ethylene glycol: current state and perspectives Laura Salusjärvi1 & Sami Havukainen1 & Outi Koivistoinen1 & Mervi Toivari1 Received: 4 September 2018 /Revised: 8 January 2019 /Accepted: 9 January 2019 # The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Glycolic acid (GA) and ethylene glycol (EG) are versatile two-carbon organic chemicals used in multiple daily applications. GA and EG are currently produced by chemical synthesis, but their biotechnological production from renewable resources has received a substantial interest. Several different metabolic pathways by using genetically modified microorganisms, such as Escherichia coli, Corynebacterium glutamicum and yeast have been established for their production. As a result, the yield of GA and EG produced from sugars has been significantly improved. Here, we describe the recent advancement in metabolic engi- neering efforts focusing on metabolic pathways and engineering strategies used for GA and EG production. Keywords Glycolic acid .

  • The Importance of L-Rhamnose Sugar
    Mini Review ISSN: 2574 -1241 DOI: 10.26717/BJSTR.2019.21.003606 The Importance of L-Rhamnose Sugar Hüseyin Kahraman* Department of Biology, Faculty of Art and Sciences, Inonu University, Malatya 44280, Turkey *Corresponding author: Hüseyin Kahraman, Department of Biology, Faculty of Art and Sciences, Turkey ARTICLE INFO Abstract Received: September 16, 2019 Citation: Hüseyin Kahraman. The Importance of L-Rhamnose Sugar. Biomed J Sci & Tech Published: September 20, 2019 Res 21(3)-2019. BJSTR. MS.ID.003606. Mini Review used as the source of rhamnose-containing polysaccharide, release L-Rhamnose (6-deoxy-L-mannose) is a sugar belonging to a of the polysaccharide to the growth medium results in a high viscosity deoxy- family commonly found in bacteria and plants (Figure 1). It is now known that L-rhamnose sugar plays an important role in many pathogenic bacteria. Four enzymes are known to be involved culture. A final disadvantage is that the polysaccharides released by together with the protein components. These protein contaminants in the path of biological synthesis. The crystal structures of two the microbial cells into the culture medium are generally purified of the polysaccharide. Upon isolation of polysaccharides from studied. This synthesis pathway is not present in humans. Thus, require the use of additional purification steps prior to hydrolysis of these have been identified and the other two continue to be plants or bacteria, processing of polysaccharides requires the use enzymes that functions in this pathway become very attractive for of solvents for dissolution. This polysaccharide-solvent mixture is therapeutic intervention [1]. Therefore, all problems associated with the processing of rhamnose ultimately a highly viscous material which is difficult to process.
