alpha-galactooligosaccharides (alpha-GOS) found in legumes such as soybeans can cause gastrointestinal disorders since mammals lack alpha-galactosidase (alpha-Gal) in the small intestine which is necessary for their hydrolysis. Lactobacillus fermentum CRL 722 is a lactic acid bacterium (LAB) capable of degrading alpha-GOS due to its elevated alpha-Gal activity. When conventional rats were fed live L. fermentum CRL 722 or cell-free extracts of this strain, a short-lived alpha-Gal activity was detected in the upper gastrointestinal tract. The safety of this LAB was also assessed. L. fermentum CRL 722 could thus be used as a vehicle to safely confer alpha-Gal in the small intestine of monogastric animal.
在大豆等豆类中发现的α-低聚半乳糖(α-GOS)会引发胃肠道紊乱,因为哺乳动物小肠中缺乏将其水解所必需的α-半乳糖苷酶(α-Gal)。发酵乳杆菌CRL 722是一种乳酸菌(LAB),因其较高的α-Gal活性而能够降解α-GOS。当给常规大鼠喂食活的发酵乳杆菌CRL 722或该菌株的无细胞提取物时,在上消化道中检测到了短暂的α-Gal活性。还评估了这种乳酸菌的安全性。因此,发酵乳杆菌CRL 722可用作一种载体,在单胃动物的小肠中安全地提供α-Gal。
