One purified fraction from crude Fuzhuan brick tea polysaccharides (FBTPS), FBTPS-3, was obtained through column chromatog. of DEAE Sepharose Fast Flow. The chem. properties and probiotic effects of FBTPS-3 were evaluated by fermentation in vitro. Moreover, the effects of FBTPS-3 on the function and metabolic pathway of gut microbiota were investigated by metagenomic sequencing. The results showed that FBTPS-3 was an heteropolysaccharide with mol. weight of 741 kDa, which was mainly composed of Man, Rha, GalA, Gal and Ara in molar ratio of 8.7:15.5:42.2:19.7:13.9. The contents of carbohydrates and uronic acid in FBTPS-3 were 44.78 ± 2.85% and 40.4 ± 2.11%, resp. After fermentation, the mol. weight of FBTPS-3 and content of carbohydrates were significantly decreased, indicating that FBTPS-3 could be utilized by gut microbiota. Furthermore, the relative abundances of Bacteroides, Megasphaera and Prevotella were significantly increased by FBTPS-3. FBTPS-3 also significantly promoted the production of acetic, propionic and n-butyric acids. Based on the metagenomic sequencing, it was found that FBTPS-3 significantly enriched the metabolic pathway of starch and sucrose. All the results suggest that FBTPS-3 is expected to be developed as functional ingredients or foods to improve the host health through regulating the gut microbiota and physiol. metabolic functions.
