    High carbohydrate diet decreases microbial diversity and increases IL-1? levels in mice colon
    (Korean Society Food Science & Technology-Kosfost, 2024) Ulutas, Mehmet Sefa; Aydin, Erkin; Cebeci, Aysun
    Western diet is known to contribute to intestinal dysbiosis and the progression of inflammation. Although the Turkish diet has different macronutrient contents, the intestinal inflammatory disease incidences in T & uuml;rkiye are comparable to Western countries. Thus, we hypothesized that high carbohydrate diets also contribute to inflammation of the colon. We compared diets with different macronutrient compositions and investigated their effects on colonic microbiota, cytokine, histology, and tight junction protein levels. High carbohydrate diet caused the lowest microbial diversity and is accompanied by the highest expression of interleukin-1 beta and claudin-1. A low carbohydrate diet with zero fiber resulted in the lowest inflammatory markers as well as the lowest occludin and claudin levels. Overall, our results indicate that carbohydrate and fiber contents of the diets are important contributors to colon health.

    Isolation of a thermophilic Anoxybacillus flavithermus sp nov and production of thermostable ?-amylase under solid-state fermentation (SSF)
    (Bmc, 2012) Ozdemir, Sadin; Matpan, Fatma; Okumus, Veysi; Dundar, Abdurrahman; Ulutas, Mehmet Sefa; Kumru, Mert
    A new bacteria was isolated from hot-spring water of Gazligol, Afyonkarahisar in Turkey. Based on morphological and biochemical tests and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the isolate belonged to the Anoxybacillus flavithermus species which has 99% similarity with the bacterium DNA. The production of alpha-amylase by thermophilic Anoxybacillus flavithermus was investigated under solid-state fermentation by using some agricultural waste as substrates. Solid substrates such as rice husk, banana husk, millet, water melon husk, lentil bran, wheat bran and maize oil cake were studied for enzyme production. Of these, rice husk was proved as the best substrate for alpha-amylase production (1,271 U/mg). The maximum alpha-amylase production was observed as 1,803 U/mg at 72 h, 1,000 mu m particle size, 70% initial moisture content (w/v), and 40% inoculum level (v/w). Among the various nitrogen sources tested, 1% peptone (3,170 U/mg) was found to be the best nitrogen source for alpha-amylase production. As additional carbon sources, 1% starch (2,364 U/mg) enhanced alpha-amylase production. The optimum temperature for the activity of alpha-amylase was found to be 70A degrees C. The enzyme was optimally active at pH 6.0 and stable in the pH range of 6.0-8.0.

    Production and characterization of thermostable ?-amylase from thermophilic Anoxybacillus flavithermus sp nov SO-19
    (Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh, 2016) Ozdemir, Sadin; Okumus, Veysi; Ulutas, Mehmet Sefa; Dundar, Abdurrahman; Akarsubasic, Alper Tunga; Dumontet, Stefano
    This study was concerned with isolation and identification of thermophilic bacteria from hot spring in Afyonkarahisar (Gecek) and optimization of a-amylase production, partial purification of alpha-amylase, and characterization of extracellular enzyme from isolated thermophilic strain 19. To characterize and identify the thermophilic isolated bacteria, morphological analysis and biochemistry tests were studied. Besides, for classification 16S rRNA gene, G-C content and DNA-DNA hybridization analysis were performed. These results indicated that strain 19 is a novel species, Anoxybacillus flavithermus sp. nov. The effects of different fermentation conditions, such as incubation time, temperature, and pH, different carbon and nitrogen sources, and surfactants on a-amylase production were investigated. Various parameters such as temperature and temperature stability, pH and pH stability, detergents and surfactants, different starches, and metal ions on influence of enzyme characterization were assayed. About 93, 87, and 81% of the activities were retained after heating the partially purified enzyme solution at 50, 60, and 70 for 240 min, respectively. Enzyme was excessively inhibited by Hg2+ (6%). The enzyme was activated by Co2+ (212%) and Mg2+ (142%). Enzyme degradated 82% of starch content in apple juice at 70 degrees C in 30 min. The molecular weight of enzyme was estimated as 96 kDa.

    Purification and characterization of thermostable a-amylase produced from Bacillus licheniformis So-B3 and its potential in hydrolyzing raw starch
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Fincan, Sema Aguloglu; Ozdemir, Sadin; Karakaya, Adem; Enez, Baris; Mustafov, Sibel Demiroglu; Ulutas, Mehmet Sefa; Sen, Fatih
    Aims: This work was achieved to obtain the optimum culture conditions of the thermostable alpha-amylase produced by thermophilic Bacillus licheniformis SO-B3. Furthermore, the alpha-amylase was purified and then characterized, and also its kinetic parameters were determined. Materials and methods: A new thermotolerant bacteria called Bacillus licheniformis SO-B3 employed in this work was isolated from a sample of thermal spring mud in Sirnak (Meyremderesi). Several parameters such as the impact of temperature, time, and pH on enzyme production were examined. Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) was employed to analyze the end-products of soluble starch hydrolysis, and the utilization of purified alpha-amylase in the clarification of unripe apple juices was studied. Key findings: The highest enzyme production conditions were determined as 35 degrees C, 36th hour, and pH 7.0. Thermostable alpha-amylase was purified by 70% ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography, and dialysis, with a 51-purification fold and 30% yield recovery. The K-m and V-max values for this enzyme were 0.004 mM and 3.07 mu mol min(-1) at 70 degrees C, respectively. The alpha-amylase's molecular weight was found as 74 kDa. In addition, alpha-amylase showed a good degradation rate for raw starch. Significance: It was hypothesized that Bacillus licheniformis SO-B3 could be used as an alpha-amylase source. These findings displayed that purified enzyme could be utilized in fruit juice industries for clarification of apple juice and raw starch hydrolyzing.
