Effects of modified-BHI medium on the growth and metabolites of <i>Akkermansia muciniphila</i>.

ABSTRACT: Akkermansia muciniphila (Akk) has recently become popular due to its therapeutic effect on various diseases. However, Akk's high-density cultivation is difficult due to its anaerobic characteristics. Therefore, Akk was cultured with modified brain-heart infusion (M-BHI) to reach 10¹¹ CFU/mL. ¹H-NMR determined the metabolites of Akk and validated them by an amino acid analyzer. Compared to the BHI, Akk significantly up-regulated lactate, histidine, fumaric acid, cytidine, threonine, arginine, and hydroxyproline in the M-BHI and significantly down-regulated methionine, trimethylamine, and sarcosine. Regarding pathway enrichment analysis, histidine metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism, cysteine and methionine metabolism ma
