Abstract
Intestinal colonization is beneficial to the role of probiotics, and prebiotics can promote the adhesion and colonization of probiotics in the intestine. This study optimized the combination of complex prebiotics that could improve the growth ability and adhesion ability of Limosilactobacillus fermentum (L. fermentum) DALI02 to Caco-2 cells in vitro and determined the effect of its colonization quantity and colonization time in the immunocompromised rat model. The results showed that all five prebiotics (fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), inulin, stachyose, and xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS)) significantly promoted the growth and adhesion of L. fermentum DALI02. It was found that 0.5% (w/w) inulin had the best growth promotion effect, and 0.5% FOS had the strongest adhesion promotion (the adhesion rate was increase by 1.75 times). In addition, 0.05% FOS, 0.20% GOS, 0.30% inulin, 0.20% stachyose, and 0.30% XOS could significantly improve the adhesion rate of L. fermentum DALI02 from 1.72% to 3.98%. After 1 w of intervention, the quantity of colonization in the fermented broth with prebiotics group was significantly higher than that in the fermented broth group. The intervention time was extended from 1 d to 4 w, and the amount of colonization of L. fermentum DALI02 in the fermented broth with prebiotics group increased significantly from 4.32 lgcopies/g to 5.12 lgcopies/g. After the intervention, the serum levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and D-lactic acid in rats were significantly reduced, and the most significant was in the fermented broth with prebiotics group, with LPS and D-lactic acid levels of 74.11 pg/mL and 40.33 μmol/L, respectively. Complex prebiotics can promote the growth and adhesion of L. fermentum DALI02 and significantly increase the quantity of colonization and residence time of the strain in the intestine, which helps the restoration of intestinal barrier function and other probiotic effects.
