Abstract
Considering the implications of microbiota in health, scientists are in search of microbiota-oriented strategies for the effective prevention and/or treatment of a wide variety of serious diseases. A microbiota comprises diverse microorganisms with either probiotic or pathogenic properties. The fermentation of prebiotic carbohydrates by probiotic bacteria can affect host metabolism. Therefore, understanding the prebiotic-mediated metabolic modulations in probiotics is crucial to develop functional foods for the improvement of disturbed microbiota. Studies have emphasized the importance of prebiotics in probiotic therapies for mucosal diseases and highlighted the need for extensive research on oral bacteria. In the present study, the cellular events have been studied in batch cultures of probiotic Streptococcus salivarius exposed to the natural prebiotic, tapioca starch (TS). TS modulated the keystone metabolic events in Streptococcus salivarius in a dose-dependent manner. Besides increasing the live cell counts and altering the colony morphologies, TS affected the protein metabolism in terms of cellular expression and conformational changes in protein secondary structures. After treatment with TS, the nucleic acid synthesis increased and B-DNA was more than A- and Z-DNA, together with the diminished fatty acids and increased polysaccharide synthesis. The study results can be considered for the assessment of functional foods and probiotics in oral health.
