    Comparison of aqueous and lactobacterial-fermented Mercurialis perennis L. (Dog’s Mercury) extracts with respect to their immunostimulating activity
    (2023) Lorenz, Peter; Zilkowski, Ilona; Mailänder, Lilo K.; Klaiber, Iris; Nicolay, Sven; Garcia-Käufer, Manuel; Zimmermann-Klemd, Amy M.; Turek, Claudia; Stintzing, Florian C.; Kammerer, Dietmar R.; Gründemann, Carsten
    Lactic acid (LA) fermentation of dog’s mercury (M. perennis L.) herbal parts was investigated in samples inoculated with either Lactobacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus, LBF) or whey (WF). Depending on fermentation time, LA concentrations were monitored in a range of 3.4–15.6 g/L with a concomitant pH decline from 6.5 to 3.9. A broad spectrum of cinnamic acids depsides containing glucaric, malic and 2-hydroxyglutaric acids along with quercetin and kaempferol glycosides were detected by LC-DAD-ESI-MSn. Moreover, in this study novel constituents were also found both in unfermented and fermented extracts. Furthermore, amino acids and particular Lactobacteria metabolites such as biogenic amines (e.g., putrescine, 4-aminobutyric acid, cadaverine) and 5-oxoproline were assigned in WF extracts by GC-MS analysis after silylation. Enhanced NFκB and cytokine expression (IL-6, TNFα, IL-8 and IL-1β) was induced by all extracts, both non-fermented and fermented, in NFκB-THP-1 reporter cells, showing a concentration-dependent immunostimulatory effect. The WF extracts were tested for micronuclei formation in THP-1 cells and toxicity in luminescent bacteria (V. fischeri), whereby no mutagenic or toxic effects could be detected, which corroborates their safe use in pharmaceutical remedies.

    In a scenario of increasing alarm about food waste due to rapid urbanization, population growth and lifestyle changes, this study aims to explore the valorization of waste from the retail sector as potential substrates for the biotechnological production of biosurfactants. With a perspective of increasingly contributing to the realization of the circular bioeconomy, a vegetable juice, derived from unsold fruits and vegetables, as a carbon source was used to produce lipopeptides such as surfactin and fengycin. The results from the shake flask cultivations revealed that different concentrations of vegetable juice could effectively serve as carbon sources and that the fed-batch bioreactor cultivation strategy allowed the yields of lipopeptides to be significantly increased. In particular, the product/substrate yield of 0.09 g/g for surfactin and 0.85 mg/g for fengycin was obtained with maximum concentrations of 2.77 g/L and 27.53 mg/L after 16 h, respectively. To conclude, this study provides the successful fed-batch cultivation of B. subtilis using waste product as the carbon source to produce secondary metabolites. Therefore, the consumption of agricultural product wastes might be a promising source for producing valuable metabolites which have promising application potential to be used in several fields of biological controls of fungal diseases.
