Abstract
Metabolic pathway analysis of Bifidobacterium adolescent (B. adolescentis) grown on either xylobiose and xylotriose (X2/X3) or xylopentaose (X5) and identifying key regulatory-related genes and metabolites from RNA-seq and UHPLC system was performed. Compared with X5, X2/X3 highly promoted the growth of B. adolescentis. Also, the transcriptome analysis showed that a total of 268 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of B. adolescentis cultured with X2/X3 and X5 were screened, including 163 upregulated and 105 downregulated genes (X2/X3 vs. X5), which mainly were ABC transporters. Furthermore, the qRT-PCR results of 16 DGEs validated the accuracy of the RNA-seq data. Meanwhile, metabolomics analysis showed that 192 differential metabolites noted on MS2 included 127 upregulated and 65 downregulated metabolites; mainly, metabolites were amino acids and organic acids. The abundance difference of specific genes and metabolites highlighted regulatory mechanisms involved in utilizing different polymerized xylooligosaccharides by B. adolescentis.
