Influence of Maternal Bifidobacteria on the Development of Gut Bifidobacteria in Infants [PDF]
Intestinal microbiota plays an important role in human health by influencing metabolic activities that result in the creation of energy and absorbable nutrients, a barrier to the colonization of pathogens, and stimulation of the immune system.

Plant Glycan Metabolism by Bifidobacteria [PDF]
Members of the genus Bifidobacterium, of which the majority have been isolated as gut commensals, are Gram-positive, non-motile, saccharolytic, non-sporulating, anaerobic bacteria. Many bifidobacterial strains are considered probiotic and therefore are thought to bestow health benefits upon their host.

Traditional Fermented Dairy Products as Reservoirs of Bifidobacterium With Probiotic Potential: From Microbial Diversity to Functional Characterization. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Traditional fermented dairy products (TFDPs) are complex microbial ecosystems that may serve as reservoirs of many microorganisms, including those with probiotic potential such as Bifidobacterium species and lactobacilli. Although bifidobacteria are widely used as probiotic microorganisms in defined formulations, their occurrence, persistence,

Infant-Type Bifidobacteria as Biocontrol Agents: Suppressing Listeria monocytogenes via Key Virulence Gene Alteration [PDF]
Infant-type bifidobacteria exhibit potential as targeted biocontrol agents against Listeria monocytogenes infections. However, the strain-specific antimicrobial efficacy and molecular mechanisms remain insufficiently characterized.

Synbiotic effects of 2’-fucosyllactose and Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis M-63 in fermented human fecal communities [PDF]
Background/objectivesHuman milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are the third most abundant solid component of human milk. HMOs are selectively utilized by infant-type human-residential bifidobacteria (HRB), resulting in the formation of a gut microbiota ...

A CRISPRi Gene Regulation System for Bifidobacteria [PDF]
This work describes the development of a CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) system for targeted gene repression in bifidobacteria. We first validated the CRISPRi‐based approach using Bifidobacterium breve strains engineered to express nuclease‐dead orthologs ...

Establishment of CRISPR-Cas9 system in Bifidobacteria animalis AR668
Bifidobacteria are representative intestinal probiotics that have extremely high application value in the food and medical fields. However, the lack of molecular biology tools limits the research on functional genes and mechanisms of bifidobacteria.
