Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Pangenome Analysis and Genome-Guided Probiotic Evaluation of Cyclic Dipeptides Producing Levilactobacillus Brevis DY55bre Strain From a Lactic Acid Fermented Shalgam to Assess Its Metabolic, Probiotic Potentials, and Cytotoxic Effects on Colorectal Cancer Cells(Springer, 2025-10-01) Yetiman, Ahmet E.; Horzum, Mehmet; Kanbur, Ertan; Cadir, Mehmet; Bahar, Dilek; Gurbuz, Serife; Akbulut, MikailThis study investigates the genetic, metabolic, and probiotic characteristics of Levilactobacillus brevis DY55bre, a strain isolated from the traditional Turkish fermented beverage, shalgam. Whole-genome sequencing revealed a circular genome of 2.485 Mb with a GC content of 45.72%, predicted 2791 genes, and multiple CRISPR-Cas systems. Pangenome analysis demonstrated an open structure, with 18.9% core genes and 103 strain-specific genes, highlighting its genetic diversity. The DY55bre exhibits heterofermentative carbohydrate metabolism due to the presence of the araBAD operon and the lack of 1-phosphofructokinase (pfK) and fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase enzymes. Probiotic evaluation revealed firm survival under simulated gastrointestinal conditions, including resistance to acidic pH (as low as 3.0) and bile salts (up to 1%), along with significant adhesion to intestinal epithelial cell lines (HT29;59.3%, Caco-2;87%, and DLD-1;60.8%). The strain exhibited high auto-aggregation (84.55%) and cell surface hydrophobicity (56.69%), essential for gut colonization. Safety assessments confirmed its non-hemolytic nature and absence of horizontally acquired antibiotic resistance genes. Notably, GC-MS analysis identified bioactive cyclic dipeptides, Cyclo(D-Phe-L-Pro) and Cyclo(L-Leu-L-Pro), which demonstrated cytotoxic effects against colorectal cancer cell lines, with IC50 values of 7.71 mg/mL for HT29 and 3.19 mg/mL for DLD-1. The cell-free supernatant exhibited antimicrobial activity against pathogens, likely due to the synergistic effects of cyclic dipeptides, organic acids, and other metabolites. Antioxidant assays revealed significant ABTS+ (76.63%) and DPPH (34.25%) radical scavenging activities, while cholesterol assimilation tests showed a 27.29% reduction. These findings position the DY55bre as a promising candidate for functional foods, nutraceuticals, and therapeutic applications, warranting further in vivo validation.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 18Genomic, Probiotic, and Metabolic Potentials of Liquorilactobacillus Nagelii AGA58, a Novel Bacteriocinogenic Motile Strain Isolated From Lactic Acid-Fermented Shalgam(Soc Bioscience Bioengineering Japan, 2023-01) Yetiman, Ahmet Evren; Ortakci, FatihThis study aimed to perform genomic, probiotic, and metabolic characterization of a novel Liquorilactobacillus nagelii AGA58 isolated from a lactic acid-fermented shalgam beverage to understand its metabolic potentials and probiotic features. AGA58 is gram-positive, motile, catalase-negative and appears as short rods under the light-microscope. The AGA58 chromosome comprises a single linear chromosome of 2,294,635 bp that is predicted to carry 2135 coding sequences, including 45 tRNA genes, 3 mRNA, and 3 rRNA operons. The genome has a GDC content of 36.9%, including 55 pseudogenes and a single intact prophage. AGA58 is micro-anaerobic due to achieving a shorter doubling time and faster growth rate than micro-aerophilic conditions. It carries flagellar biosynthesis protein-encoding genes predicting motile behavior, which was confirmed with the in vitro motility test. AGA58 is an obligatory homofermentative lactobacillus that can ferment hexose sugars such as galactose, glucose, fructose, sucrose, mannose, N-acetyl glucosamine, maltose, and trehalose to lactate through glycolysis. No acid production from pentoses implies that five-carbon sugars are being utilized for purine and pyrimidine synthesis. Putative pyruvate metabolism revealed formate, malate, oxaloacetate, acetate, acetaldehyde, acetoin, and lactate forms from pyruvate. AGA58 is predicted to encode the LuxS gene and biosynthesis of class IIa and Blp family class-II bacteriocins suggesting this bacterium's antimicrobial potential, linked to antagonism tests that AGA58 can inhibit Escherichia coli ATCC 43895, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium ATCC 14028, and Klebsiella pneumonia ATCC 13883. Moreover, AGA58 is tolerant to acid and bile concentrations simulating the human gastrointestinal conditions depicting the probiotic potential of the organism as the first report in literature within the same species.
