Mucin Cross-Feeding of Infant Bifidobacteria and Eubacterium hallii
Original language description
Mucus production is initiated before birth and provides mucin glycans to the infant gut microbiota. Bifidobacteria are the major bacterial group in the feces of vaginally delivered and breast milk-fed infants. Among the bifidobacteria, only Bifidobacterium bifidum is able to degrade mucin and to release monosaccharides which can be used by other gut microbes colonizing the infant gut. Eubacterium hallii is an early occurring commensal that produces butyrate and propionate from fermentation metabolites but that cannot degrade complex oligo- and polysaccharides. We aimed to demonstrate that mucin cross-feeding initiated by B. bifidum enables growth and metabolite formation of E. hallii leading to short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) formation. Growth and metabolite formation of co-cultures of B. bifidum, of Bifidobacterium breve or Bifidobacterium infantis, which use mucin-derived hexoses and fucose, and of E. hallii were determined. Growth of E. hallii in the presence of lactose and mucin monosaccharides was
