Euglena gracilis-derived β-1,3-glucan as a growth substrate for Lactococcus lactis—a snapshot of accompanying changes in transcriptomic and metabolomic profiles
β-1,3-glucan from Euglena gracilis is an emerging microalgal prebiotic. However, its potential to reprogram the metabolic profile of lactic acid bacteria has not been reported previously. In the present study, the effects of insoluble β-1,3-glucan on growth dynamics, gene expression, and the extracellular metabolit...
