Microbiota-Derived Exopolysaccharide from Lactiplantibacillus pentosus C87 Mitigate Rotenone-Induced Neurodegeneration via Gut-Brain Axis Modulation
Description
This study investigates the structural characterization of exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Lactiplantibacillus pentosus C87 isolated from fermented cabbage. The hypothesis of this research is that the EPS produced by C87 possesses distinct physicochemical and structural properties that contribute to its biological functionality and potential therapeutic applications. To evaluate this, FTIR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) analyses were performed. FTIR data were used to identify characteristic functional groups and chemical bonds within the EPS structure, XRD data were used to determine the crystalline and amorphous nature of the polymer, and NMR data were used to investigate the molecular structure and carbohydrate backbone composition. The datasets provide detailed spectral and diffraction information that can be used to interpret the chemical composition, structural organization, and physicochemical properties of the EPS. These data support the characterization of C87-derived EPS and may be used for comparative analyses, validation studies, and future investigations of probiotic-derived biopolymers and their biological activities.
