  • effects of tempeh fermentation with lactobacillus plantarum and rhizopus oligosporus on streptozotocin induced type ii diabetes mellitus in rats
    Nutrients, 2018
    Co-Authors: Ying Che Huang, Yunglin Chu, Wenchang Chang
    Abstract:

    The increased consumption of high fat-containing foods has been linked to the prevalence of obesity and abnormal metabolic syndromes. Rhizopus oligosporus, a fungus in the family Mucoraceae, is widely used as a starter for homemade tempeh. Although R. oligosporus can prevent the growth of other microorganisms, it grows well with lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Lactobacillus plantarum can produce β-glucosidase, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of glucoside isoflavones into aglycones (with greater bioavailability). Therefore, the development of a soybean-based functional food by the co-inoculation of R. oligosporus and L. plantarum is a promising approach to increase the bioactivity of tempeh. In this study, the ameliorative effect of L. plantarum in soy tempeh on abnormal carbohydrate metabolism in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced hyperglycemic rats was evaluated. The co-incubation of L. plantarum with R. oligosporus during soy tempeh fermentation reduced the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, HbA1c, serum glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, free fatty acid, insulin, and low-density lipoprotein contents, and significantly increased the high-density lipoprotein content in HFD rats. It also increased the LAB counts, as well as the bile acid, cholesterol, triglyceride, and short-chain fatty acid contents in the feces of HFD rats. Our results suggested that the modulation of serum glucose and lipid levels by LAB occurs via alterations in the internal microbiota, leading to the inhibition of cholesterol synthesis and promotion of lipolysis. Tempeh, which was produced with both L. plantarum and R. oligosporus, might be a beneficial dietary supplement for individuals with abnormal carbohydrate metabolism.

  • Osteomyelitis of the sternum caused by Apophysomyces elegans
    Journal of clinical microbiology, 1994
    Co-Authors: Molly E. Eaton, A A Padhye, D A Schwartz, J P Steinberg
    Abstract:

    Apophysomyces elegans, a member of the family Mucoraceae, was found to infect the chest wall and sternum of an immunocompetent man following minor trauma. As in previous cases, amphotericin B therapy alone was inadequate. Extensive surgical debridement was required in order to eradicate the infection.

  • Fascitis necrosante por Apophysomyces elegans, moho de la familia Mucoraceae, en paciente inmunocompetente
    Biomedica : revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2004
    Co-Authors: Carmen Elena Ruiz, Myrtha Arango, Ana Lucía Correa, Luz Saider López, Angela Restrepo
    Abstract:

    Se presenta la historia de un nino de 7 anos de edad, politraumatizado por accidente automovilistico, que fallecio a consecuencia de infeccion por Apophysomyces elegans, un hongo de la familia Mucoracea. La invasion fue progresiva, inicialmente se observo una lesion puntiforme en la region lumbar izquierda que progreso a fascitis necrosante y, posteriormente, afecto la zona lumbar, los gluteos y el flanco derecho. El tratamiento antimicotico resulto inefectivo y el paciente fallecio 8 semanas despues de su accidente. Se presenta, ademas, una revision de los casos atribuidos a este hongo.
