    A novel exopolysaccharide from cold-adapted yeast Rhodotorula glutinis, along with structural, rheological, antioxidant, and antibiofilm properties

    Oztekin, Sebahat; Dikmetas, Dilara Nur; Karbancıoglu-Guler, Funda

    In the present study, a novel exopolysaccharide EPS-BMD26 produced by cold-adapted yeast Rhodotorula glutinis was structurally examined, along with its rheological, antioxidant, and antibiofilm properties. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed glucose and galactose as two monosaccharide constituents. The functional groups within the EPS-BMD26 structure were detected by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of EPS-BMD26 also confirmed its β-D-glucan type with galactose residues with an average molecular weight of 118 kDa. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis revealed that EPS-BMD26 had a high level of thermal stability, up to 326.16 °C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis demonstrated that EPS-BMD26 had a porous microstructure with fissures. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed its semi-crystalline nature. EPS-BMD26 showed moderate and concentration-dependent antioxidant potential recruiting different methods, including •OH, DPPH•, CUPRAC, and ABTS radical scavenging activities. Water-soluble EPS-BMD26 exhibited high water holding capacity of 190 ± 0.22% with a water solubility index of 60.6 ± 8.3%. At 1.25 mg mL-1, EPS-BMD26 inhibited biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 by 79.5%. Rheological characterization revealed that the aqueous solution of EPS-BMD26 had shear thinning and pseudoplastic behavior. Given these properties, EPS-BMD26 may be a promising bio-hydrocolloid, antibiofilm agent, and food additive for industrial applications.

    In this study, Antimicrobial, Antifungal and Antibiofilm activity tests on 16 bacteria and 2 fungi of Salvia marashica İlçim, Celep & Doğan and Salvia caespitosa Montbret & Aucher ex Benth species were performed by Agar Well Diffusion and Microdilution methods. Salvia species showed sensitivity with a zone diameter of 12–16 mm. Concentrations of 0.5 mg/ml to 16 mg/ml by the dilution method were used to determine the Minimum inhibited concentration (MIC) and Minimum bactericidal concentration (MBK). The MIC values of the plants are mostly 0.5 mg/ml - 4 mg/ml and MBC values are between 0.5 mg/ml - 8 mg/ml. Antifungal activity findings are remarkable on the species and it has been observed to have very high effects especially on Candida parapsilosis. When the antioxidant research findings are examined; It was observed that Salvia marashica and Salvia caespitosa plants have approximately 75% antioxidant activity at 1 mg/ml, and findings mostly directly proportional between concentrations and antioxidant activity capacity were recorded. MCF-7 and HUVEC cell lines were used to investigate anticancer activity properties. In line with the findings, while the IC50 value of Salvia marashica on the MCF-7 Cell line was 0.125 mg/ml, it was 1.65 mg/ml in the HUVEC cell line, while the IC50 value of Salvia caespitosa on the MCF-7 Cell line was 0.115 mg/ml in the HUVEC Cell line. It was found to be 9.87 mg/ml. It has been proven that both Salvia species have a cytotoxic effect on the MCF-7 Cell line.
