Investigation of Chlorella sp. KLSc61 Crude Extract to Promote Lactiplantibacillus Plantarum JCM 1149 Growth
Short Introductive summary
In this study, we utilized a locally isolated Chlorella strain (KLSc61) from Thailand to investigate whether its intracellular compounds and/or cell debris—particularly polysaccharides—could promote the growth of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum. The results demonstrated that the 2.5% (w/v) Chlorella ethanolic extract prepared with 30% ethanol—both from intracellular contents and cell debris—exhibited the greatest potential to promote the growth of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum JCM 1149. Our findings demonstrate that crude extracts from Chlorella sp. KLSc61 have strong potential to act as prebiotic agents by effectively enhancing the growth of probiotic bacteria under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. Further studies are proposed to characterize the chemical composition and evaluate additional prebiotic properties of Chlorella sp. KLSc61.
