A strain of Duganella sp., a polysaccharide produced thereby, and use are provided. The Duganella sp. G3 of the present disclosure has the deposit number of CCTCC NO: M 2024137. The exopolysaccharide TDG3 produced by the strain acts as a TLR4/DC-SIGN dual receptor agonist and significantly reduces body weight upon administration to a subject. The exopolysaccharide TDG3 of the present disclosure may significantly reduce appetite in a subject, decrease food take, lower body weight, and reduce fat mass. It may also alleviate or prevent obesity-induced hepatic steatosis. It is safe and non-toxic, is suitable for use in lipid-lowering and weight-loss drugs, and has good clinical application value and broad application prospects.
A method for culturing Duganella sp. strain. G3 having a deposit number of China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC) NO:
A method for producing an exopolysaccharide TDG3, comprising the following steps:
A method for lowering body mass in a subject, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a medicament comprising a therapeutically effective amount of exopolysaccharide TDG3, wherein said exopolysaccharide TDG3 is composed of glucose, mannose, and galactose in a molar ratio of 3:2:1, with a glycosidic linkage of 4)-β-D-Glcp-(1→4) [α-D-Manp-(1→2)]-β-D-Manp-(1→4)-β-D-Glcp-(1→3)-β-D-Galp-(1→4)-β-D-Glcp-(1→, and has a structural formula of
