Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003 metabolizes lacto-N-tetraose and lacto-N-neo-tetraose through overlapping, yet distinct pathways


ABSTRACT: Recent studies have begun to elucidate the mechanisms of utilisation of some human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) components by Bifidobacterium breve. However, this phenomenon is still relatively poorly understood, with little to no work to date in understanding a number of specific structures common to HMO.   In this study, we demonstrate that the prototype B. breve strain UCC2003 possesses specific metabolic pathways for the utilisation of Lacto-N-Tetraose and Lacto-N-neoTetraose, which represent the central moieties of Type I and Type II HMOs, respectively. Using a combination of experimental approaches, the enzymatic machinery involved in the metabolism of these two HMO structures was identified and characterised. Homologs of tWe also identified the key genetic loci involved in the utilisation of these HMO substrates in B. breve, B. bifidum and B. longum subsp. infantis using bioinformatic analyses were shown to be, and noted the relatively variably present among other members ofscant distribution of their homologs across the Bifidobacterium genus as a whole, withwhile noting a distinct pattern of conservation of LNB utilisation genes inamong human-associated bifidobacterial species.
