Neogalactobiose (α-D-galactopyranosyl β-D-galactopyranoside), β-D-galactopyranosyl β-D-glucopyranoside, β-D-galactopyranosyl α-D-glucopyranoside, α-D-galactopyranosyl β-D-glucopyranoside (GII), and α-D-galactopyranosyl β-D-fructofuranosyl-(2→6)-β-D-fructofuranoside (Gf) were synthesized as sugar sources which might selectively and efficiently enhance the growth of bifidobacteria in the human intestines. Gf was synthesized by using levansucrase and the others by means of the Koenigs-Knorr reaction. The structures of these sugars were confirmed by enzymic hydrolysis. All of these sugars were utilized by almost all strains of Bifidobacterium tested. Among them, GII, Gf and stachyose were not utilized by Lactobacillus acidophilus or Streptococcus faecalis, and were utilized by only a few strains of Enterobacteriaceae (comparable to lactosucrose). Furthermore, as regards both the growth activity of bifidobacterial cells and the generation time of the cells, the three sugars were virtually as effective as lactose or lactosucrose.
合成了新半乳糖双糖(α-D-半乳糖吡喃苷 β-D-半乳糖吡喃苷)、β-D-半乳糖吡喃苷 β-D-葡萄糖吡喃苷、β-D-半乳糖吡喃苷 α-D-葡萄糖吡喃苷、α-D-半乳糖吡喃苷 β-D-葡萄糖吡喃苷(GII)和α-D-半乳糖吡喃苷 β-D-果糖呋喃苷(2→6)-β-D-果糖呋喃苷(Gf),作为可能选择性和高效增强人类肠道双歧杆菌生长的糖源。Gf 是通过使用左旋糖酶合成的,其他糖则通过科尼希斯-克诺尔反应合成。通过酶水解确认了这些糖的结构。所有测试的双歧杆菌菌株几乎均有效利用了这些糖。其中,GII、Gf 和美洲蓟糖不被嗜酸乳杆菌或粪链球菌利用,仅被少数肠杆菌科的菌株利用(相当于乳糖蔗糖)。此外,在双歧杆菌细胞的生长活性和细胞代生时间方面,这三种糖的效果实际上与乳糖或乳糖蔗糖相当有效。
