Spent coffee grounds (SCG) are commercial waste that are still rich in numerous valuable ingredients and can be further processed into useful products such as coffee oil, antioxidant extract, lactic acid, and lignin. The challenge and innovation is to develop the SCG processing technology, maximizing the use of raw material and minimizing the use of other resources within the sequential process. The presented research is focused on the aspect of biotechnological production of lactic acid from SCG by using the Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus strain isolated from the environment. Thanks to the optimization of the processes of acid hydrolysis, neutralization, enzymatic hydrolysis of SCG, and fermentation, the obtained concentration of lactic acid was increased after 72 hr of culture from the initial 4.60 g/l to 48.6 g/l. In addition, the whole process has been improved, taking into account the dependence on other processes within the complete SCG biorefinery, economy, energy, and waste aspects. Costly enzymatic hydrolysis was completely eliminated, and it was proven that supplementation of SCG hydrolysate with expensive yeast extract can be replaced by cheap waste from the agri-food industry.One-Sentence SummaryA process for efficient lactic acid production from spent coffee grounds using the Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus strain was developed and optimized, including nutrient solution preparation, supplementation and fermentation.

Probiotic stability and activity during broth fermentation are crucial for enhancing the flavour and nutritional value of the final product. This study introduces a novel staining technique that allows differentiation of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus and Staphylococcus xylosus within sodium alginate (SA) encapsulated microspheres without altering the SA structure. Encapsulation efficiencies were 88.41% for L. rhamnosus and 82.68% for S. xylosus , with the staining technique enhancing thermal stability. Co-fermentation in pork broth resulted in significant increases in organic acids (e.g., lactic acid from 3.209 g/L to 8.673 g/L and acetic acid), thereby improving sensory attributes. Amino acid analysis revealed substantial increases in essential amino acids, including glutamic acid (from 7.493 mg/100 g to 27.422 mg/100 g) and glycine (from 12.435 mg/100 g to 30.632 mg/100 g), which contributed to an improved nutritional profile. Furthermore, significant increases in volatile compounds, such as isophorone (up to 148.25 μg/L), 1-Octanol (up to 39.02 μg/L), and benzaldehyde (up to 570.84 μg/L), enriched the aroma of the pork broth. SA encapsulation maintained probiotic viability throughout the extended fermentation period, while strain interactions further enriched both nutritional and flavour profiles. These findings highlight the potential of SA encapsulation combined with co-fermentation to optimize the sensory and nutritional qualities of fermented foods.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammation with a high incidence rate. Many probiotics, including Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus (L. rhamnosus), have shown promise in IBD treatment. The therapeutic effects of most probiotics are greatly decided by the available live cells in the disease lesion, which is compromised as they pass through the gastric juice and intestinal tract, resulting in a loss of activity. To improve probiotic delivery efficiency in the intestinal tract, broken Ganoderma lucidum spore shells (bGLS) were explored as a carrier to enhance the intestinal tract delivery of L. rhamnosus SHA113, a probiotic that has been verified to have capability to treat IBD. It was found the bGLS treated with iturin A and hydrochloric acid (IH-bGLS) had much higher affinity to probiotic cells than the untreated ones. This is possibly due to the enhancement of hydrophobic and positive charge of bGLS. Furthermore, IH-bGLS demonstrated an 81% loading efficiency for L. rhamnosus SHA113 and 2.2% for Escherichia coli. More importantly, loading in IH-bGLS greatly enhanced the delivery of L. rhamnosus SHA113 cells to the colon and prolonged their retention time from 48 to over 120 h (P < 0.01). The mechanisms might be related to the enhancement of probiotic cell adhesion to the gastrointestinal mucosa, increase of mucus secretion and the upregulated expression of tight junction proteins, occludin and ZO-1, in the colon. The results of the animal experiment showed that the therapeutic effects of L. rhamnosus SHA113 on IBD were greatly enhanced when they were loaded with IH-bGLS. The novelty of this research is in the development of probiotic carriers from bGLS, which has significance in the improvement of intestinal delivery efficiency and the therapeutic effects of probiotics on IBD. This system may have attractive application in the enhancement of probiotic delivery efficiency in the intestinal tract, which is important to ensure and enhance the beneficial effects of probiotics.

Hyperuricemia (HUA) has emerged as a public health burden. Recently, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were reported to possess potential for alleviating HUA. However, LABs with anti-HUA potential are still scarce, considering which, as well as complex and unclear alleviating mechanisms, and it is worthy to find various LABs with anti-HUA and investigate the alleviating mechanisms. In this study, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus NCUH061012 (LR012) with anti-HUA potential was obtained by isolating from infant feces, screening in vitro and evaluating in mice, and integrative fecal microbiome and metabolome were used for the first time to reveal the underlying mechanism of LAB in alleviating HUA. LR012 supplementation was effective in lowering the level of uric acid (UA), which prompted the decrease of serum uric acid (SUA) by 37.20% % compared with the HUA model group. LR012 facilitated the growth of Lactobacillus and Candidatus_Saccharimonas , and decreased the enrichment of Bacteroides , along with increasing short-chain fatty acids and decreasing lipopolysaccharide . Analysis of fecal metabolomics showed LR012 regulated more intestinal metabolites, including adenosine, hypoxanthine, xanthine, succinate, and tryptophan . Furthermore, these alterations in intestinal microbiota and metabolites showed positive associations with improving systemic inflammation and kidney damage, regulating UA production and excretion, and reducing SUA levels. It is deduced that the underlying mechanism of LR012 in alleviating HUA was to modulate intestinal microbiota and metabolites. In conclusion, LR012 was promising in preventing and alleviating HUA as a diet supplement, and these findings underscored the transformative potential of LR012 in alleviating HUA via intestinal remediation.

Hyperuricemia is a critical threat to human health, and a high inosine diet can increase the prevalence of it. Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Fmb14 was isolated from traditional fermented Chinese yogurt, and its inosine degradation rate reached 36.3 % at 10 9 CFU/mL for 24 h. LC-MS analysis revealed that high concentrations of inosine could activate compensatory metabolic pathways of L. rhamnosus Fmb14 to catalyse inosine as an energy source and produce intracellular folic acid and riboflavin. The contents of folic acid and riboflavin were 6.0 and 4.3 fold increased after inosine treatment in the cell-free extracts (CFE). L. rhamnosus Fmb14 CFE treatment ameliorates hyperuricemia through xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibition and ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) promotion, both of which are responsible for uric acid (UA) synthesis and secretion in HepG2 and Caco2 cells, respectively. The in vivo results showed that the serum UA level decreased from 236.28 to 149.28 μmol/L after 8 weeks of oral administration of L. rhamnosus Fmb14 in inosine-induced hyperuricemia model mice. Our results revealed that L. rhamnosus Fmb14 has a potential as a biological therapeutic agent in hyperuricemia prevention.

The main objective of this study was to investigate the potential probiotic properties of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus VHProbi®M15 (M15). This study examined the effects of M15 on sucralfate-induced constipation in a mouse model. The BALB/c mice were randomly divided into four groups: the normal group (NOR) was without any treatment, while the constipation (CON), phenolphthalein (PHE), and probiotic (PRO) treatment groups were fed with sucralfate until the appearance of constipation symptoms. Afterward, the NOR and CON groups were given 1 ml saline orally every day until the end of the experiment; the PHE and PRO groups were given phenolphthalein or M15 suspension in 1 ml orally, respectively. Compared with the CON group, the fecal water content and intestinal peristalsis improved in the PRO group. Here, intake of M15 effectively attenuated sucralfate-induced constipation, recuperated colonic epithelial integrity, and increased serum levels of gastrointestinal excitatory neurotransmitters (motilin, gastrin, substance P). Analysis of the intestinal microbiota of mice by 16S rRNA metagenomic revealed an increase in the relative abundance of Bacteroides and a decrease in Sclerotinia, Verrucosa and Proteus in the PRO group. Compared with the CON group, the constipation-induced intestinal microecological changes were partially recovered in the PHE and PRO groups. These results demonstrate that M15 enhanced gastrointestinal transit and alleviated in mice with sucralfate-induced constipation.

Hyperuricemia is a high-risk factor for the development of gout and renal fibrosis, but the adverse effects of hyperuricemia on the liver have been seriously neglected. This research investigated the ameliorating effect of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Fmb14 on hyperuricemia induced liver dysfunction both in vitro and in vivo . Cell free extracts of high dose L. rhamnosus Fmb14 treatment reduced the death rate of HepG2 cell lines from 24.1 % to 14.9 % by inhibiting NLRP3 recruitment, which was mainly activated by reactive oxygen species release and mitochondrial membrane potential disorder. In purine dietary induced hyperuricemia (PDIH) mice model, liver oedema and pyroptosis were ameliorated after L. rhamnosus Fmb14 administration through downregulating the expression levels of NLRP3, caspase-1 and gasdermin-D from 1.61 to 0.86, 3.15 to 1.01 and 5.63 to 2.02, respectively. L. rhamnosus Fmb14 administration restored mitochondrial inner membrane protein (MPV17) and connexin 43 from 2.83 and 0.73 to 0.80 and 0.98 respectively in PDIH mice, indicating that dysbiosis of mitochondrial membrane potential was restored in liver. Intriguingly, PDIH pyroptosis stimulates the process of apoptosis, which leads to severe leakage of hepatocytes, and both of pyroptosis and apoptosis were decreased after L. rhamnosus Fmb14 treatment. Therefore, L. rhamnosus Fmb14 is a promising biological resource to maintain homeostasis of the liver in hyperuricemia and the prevention of subsequent complications.

Consuming probiotic products is a solution that people are willing to choose to augment health. As one of the global health hazards, sleep deprivation (SD) can cause both physical and mental diseases. The present study investigated the protective effects of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG), a widely used probiotic, on SD mice model. Here, it’s shown that SD induced intestinal damage in mice, while LGG supplementation attenuated disruption of the intestinal barrier and enhanced antioxidant capacity. Microbiome analysis revealed that SD caused dysbiosis in the gut microbiota, characterized by increased levels of Clostridium XlVa, Alistipes, and Desulfovibrio, as well as decreased levels of Ruminococcus, which were partially ameliorated by LGG. Moreover, SD resulted in elevated pro-inflammatory cytokine concentrations in both the intestine and brain, while LGG provided protection in both organs. LGG supplementation significantly improved locomotor activity in SD mice. Although heat-killed LGG showed some protective effects in SD mice, its overall efficacy was inferior to live LGG. In terms of mechanism, it was found that AG1478, an inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase, could diminish the protective effects of LGG. In conclusion, LGG demonstrated the ability to alleviate SD-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction through EGFR activation and alleviate neuroinflammation.

We evaluated the changes in volatile and nonvolatile flavor substances after fermented milk was fermented by Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus WH. FH-19 using Headspace Solid Phase Microextraction-Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS). The results have shown that the addition of L. rhamnosus WH. FH-19 can increase the contents of acetoin and 2-nonanone which can give fermented milk cream and cheese flavor, and significantly enrich amino acid metabolism and carbon metabolism. The fermentation of L. rhamnosus WH. FH-19 increased the contents of L-glutamic acid, taurine, stachyose, erythritol, L-rhamnose, retinol, pantothenic acid and 19 oligopeptides in fermented milk, and endowed fermented milk with good flavor, quality and antioxidant capacity. The results presented that L. rhamnosus WH. FH-19 can increase the content of flavor substances, promote the metabolism of amino acids and carbohydrates in fermented milk, and produce more antioxidant metabolites, which had the potential as a starter of fermented milk.

Hyperuricemia is associated with various diseases. This study confirmed that intervention with Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus JY027 ( L. rhamnosus JY027) reduced biochemical markers including uric acid , creatinine, and urea nitrogen in hyperuricemic mice. A combined analysis of gut microbiota , short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and metabolites based on the gut-kidney axis revealed that this bacterial intervention significantly enhanced the abundance of beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium , Akkermansia , and Faecalibaculum and increased SCFA levels. The bacterial intervention also regulated the levels of guanosine , creatinine, arginine, choline , taurine and other differential metabolites in the kidneys of mice with hyperuricemia. This intervention ultimately reduced uric acid levels in mice through the modulation of multiple pathways, including arginine biosynthesis, taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, and glutathione metabolism. This study lays the foundation for exploring how L. rhamnosus JY027 alleviates hyperuricemia, providing theoretical support for developing probiotic preparations to mitigate hyperuricemia and their application.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease linked to epidermal barrier dysfunction, Th2-skewed immune polarization, and disrupted gut microbiota homeostasis. While probiotic interventions show promise in managing AD, the mechanisms governing strain-specific efficacy—particularly systemic modulation via the “gut–skin axis”—remaining to be fully elucidated.Methods: This study systematically compared the oral therapeutic effects of threeLacticaseibacillus rhamnosusstrains (MG-A047, MG-A054, and LGG) in a 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB)-induced AD mouse model.Results: By integrating behavioral, histopathological, and serological assessments with 16S rRNA-based gut microbiota profiling and in vitro functional assays, this study offers a multidimensional evaluation of the strain-specific advantages and potential therapeutic mechanisms of threeL. rhamnosusstrains. The results demonstrate that MG-A054 most effectively alleviated cutaneous inflammation and pruritus, significantly reduced serum IgE and IL-4 levels, and attenuated epidermal hyperplasia and inflammatory cell infiltration (including mast cells and eosinophils). Mechanistically, this strain may directly inhibit hyaluronidase activity and mast cell degranulation, and specifically remodel the gut microbiota structure, thereby promoting a shift toward a healthier functional profile.Conclusions: These findings suggest that the superior efficacy of MG-A054 may be achieved through coordinated modulation of the gut–skin axis and related pathways. This study offers new mechanistic clues for understanding the strain-specific actions of probiotics and lays a preclinical foundation for the further development of MG-A054 as a potential targeted microecological therapy for AD.

As a prevalent neurodevelopmental disease, whether ASD (autism spectrum disorder) can be ameliorated by the early use of a single microbe remains unknown. Here we used a lactobacillus strain, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GR-1 (LGR-1), for prenatal intervention in autism-like mice with either environmental or idiopathic origins by exclusively administering to the pregnant dams at a dose of 10 9 /mouse/day, followed by offspring behavioral assessment with 3-chamber trial and marble burying test. The results revealed that LGR-1 prevented the occurrence of autism-like symptoms, as evidenced by the improved behaviors and restored E/I (excitatory-inhibitory) balance in the prefrontal cortex of male pups. In parallel, the offspring microbiome was reshaped by LGR-1 treatment, probably mediated by the vertical transmission of maternal microbiome, with its roles further unraveled by fecal microbiota transplant and cross-fostering experiments. In addition to gut commensals, the LGR-1-shaping vaginal microbiota also contributed to the establishment of “beneficial” microbiome. Regarding key taxa in offspring, Akkermansia muciniphila was influenced by LGR-1 and exerted impact on behaviors via pathways related to IL-17-producing lymphocytes. Our findings demonstrate that prenatal microbial administration protects offspring against autism-like behavioral phenotypes through microbiome transmission, highlighting a potential microbe-based therapeutic avenue to mitigate ASD risk.
