ABSTRACT
Soybean tempeh contains bioactive carbohydrate that can reduce the severity of diarrhea by inhibiting enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) adhesion to mammalian epithelial cells. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are known to be present abundantly in soybean tempeh. Some LAB species can produce exopolysaccharides (EPS) with anti-adhesion bioactivity against ETEC but there has been no report of anti-adhesion bioactive EPS from tempeh-associated LAB. We isolated EPS-producing LAB from tempeh-related sources, identified them, unambiguously elucidated their EPS structure and assessed the bioactivity of their EPS against ETEC. Pediococcus pentosaceus TL, Leuconostoc mesenteroides WA and L. mesenteroides WN produced both dextran (α-1,6 linked glucan; >1000 kDa) and levan (ß-2,6 linked fructan; 650-760 kDa) in varying amounts and Leuconostoc citreum TR produced gel-forming α-1,6-mixed linkage dextran (829 kDa). All four isolates produced EPS that could adhere to ETEC cells and inhibit auto-aggregation of ETEC. EPS-PpTL, EPS-LmWA and EPS-LmWN were more bioactive towards pig-associated ETEC K88 while EPS-LcTR was more bioactive against human-associated ETEC H10407. Our finding is the first to report on the bioactivity of dextran against ETEC. Tempeh is a promising source of LAB isolates that can produce bioactive EPS against ETEC adhesion and aggregation.
