The purpose of this research was to isolate and assess the enzyme-producing microbes from the Apostichopusjaponicus gut. Thirty-nine strains that can produce at least one of the three digestive enzymes （protease, amylase, and cellulase） were qualitatively screened based on their extracellular enzyme-producing abilities. The enzyme-producing strains clustered into eight groups at the genetic similarity level of 100% by analyzing the restriction patterns of 16S rDNA amplified with Mbo L Phylogenetic analysis revealed that 37 strains belonged to the genus Bacillus and two were members of the genus Virgibacillus. Enzyme-producing capability results indicate that the main enzyme-producing microflora in the A.japonicus gut was Bacillus, which can produce protease, amylase, and cellulase. Virgibacillus, however, can only produce protease. The high enzyme-producing capability of the isolates suggests that the gut microbiota play an important role in the sea cucumber digestive process.展开更多

The metabolite 5-hydroxy-equol was identified by using UV spectrum, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry （ESI-MS） as well as IH and 13C NMR analyses. Chiral stationary-phase high-performance liquid chromatography analysis and specific rotation examination demonstrated that the bio-synthesized 5-hydroxy-equol was just （-）-5-hydroxy-equol. The average bioconverting rate was 83.1%, and the strain AUH-JLC257 could efficiently transform genistein at a maximal substrate concentration of 0.6 mmol/L. We, for the first time, showed that the bio-synthesized 5-hydroxy-equol had 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl （DPPH） radical-scavenging activity at concentrations as low as 3.3μmol/L. In addition, the 16S rRNA gene sequence （1401 bp） of the bacterium strain AUH-JLC257 showed the highest similarity （99.27%） to that of Slackia equolifaciens strain DZE.展开更多
