description <i>Penicillium camemberti</i> is used in cheese production; however, its health benefits remain to be elucidated. We previously found that supplemental <i>Aspergillus</i>-derived lipase preparation exerts a strong bifidogenic effect in rats fed a high-fat diet. This study investigated the effects of the feeding of a diet containing a 0.2% or 0.4% <i>Penicillium camemberti</i>-derived lipase preparation (PCL) for two weeks on the cecal microbiota in rats. According to 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis, both PCL supplements significantly (<i>p</i> < 0.05) affected the cecal microbial community. At the genus level, supplemental 0.4% PCL significantly increased the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria such as <i>Bifidobacterium</i>, <i>Lactobacillus</i>, and <i>Collinsella</i> (127-fold, 6-fold, and 193-fold increase, respectively). The abundance of these bacteria in the 0.2% PCL group was between that of the control and 0.4% PCL groups. Notably, the effects of supplemental 0.4% PCL on modulating the abundance of these bacteria matched the effects observed in studies on typical prebiotic oligosaccharides. PICRUSt analysis revealed that PCL supplements significantly modulated the relative abundance of bacterial genes associated with 27 metabolic pathways, some of which were similar to those reported for prebiotic oligosaccharides. This study provides the first evidence indicating that supplemental PCL exerts prebiotic-like effects by modulating the abundance of the gut microbiota.
