Bifidobacteria and Butyrate-Producing Colon Bacteria: Importance and Strategies for Their Stimulation in the Human Gut

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
With the increasing amount of evidence linking certain disorders of the human body to a disturbed gut microbiota, there is a growing interest for compounds that positively influence its composition and activity through diet.

Plant Glycan Metabolism by Bifidobacteria

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
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.

Anticancer effects of bifidobacteria on colon cancer cell lines

open access: yesCancer Cell International, 2021
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC), with a growing incidence trend worldwide, is resistant to apoptosis and has uncontrolled proliferation. It is recently reported that probiotic microorganisms exert anticancer effects.

Cross-feeding of bifidobacteria promotes intestinal homeostasis: a lifelong perspective on the host health

open access: yesnpj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Throughout the life span of a host, bifidobacteria have shown superior colonization and glycan abilities. Complex glycans, such as human milk oligosaccharides and plant glycans, that reach the colon are directly internalized by the transport system of ...

Exploring the Ecology of Bifidobacteria and Their Genetic Adaptation to the Mammalian Gut

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
The mammalian gut is densely inhabited by microorganisms that have coevolved with their host. Amongst these latter microorganisms, bifidobacteria represent a key model to study host–microbe interaction within the mammalian gut. Remarkably, bifidobacteria

Bifidobacteria and Their Molecular Communication with the Immune System

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Bifidobacterium represents a genus within the phylum Actinobacteria which is one of the major phyla in the healthy intestinal tract of humans. Bifidobacterium is one of the most abundant genera in adults, but its predominance is even more pronounced in ...
