Dietary Nitrate: Effects on the health of weaning pigs and Antimicrobial activity on seven probiotic Bifidobacterium spp. strains [PDF]

, 2007
The potential role of nitrite as an antimicrobial substance in the stomach may be of some importance in the ecology of the gastrointestinal tract and in host physiology. It has been shown that nitrite, under the acidic conditions of the stomach, may kill

Flavanol monomer-induced changes to the human faecal microflora [PDF]

, 2008
We have investigated the bacterial-dependent metabolism of ( − )-epicatechin and (+)-catechin using a pH-controlled, stirred, batch-culture fermentation system reflective of the distal region of the human large intestine.

Perinatal Gut Dysbiosis Reduces Milk Oligosaccharides via LPS‐Mediated Gut–Mammary Signaling in Mice

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Maternal gut dysbiosis elevates Gram‐negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which enters circulation and accumulates in mammary tissue. This compromises the blood–milk barrier and suppresses key enzymatic genes, ultimately reducing milk oligosaccharide synthesis and potentially affecting neonatal gut microbiota through breastfeeding.

New aspects of application of the alginate-containing biogel from brown algae in probiotic technology

Известия ТИНРО, 2017
Ability of the bifidobacteria metabolites to break down the sodium alginate molecules is shown for the case of alginate-containing biogel from brown algae with 0.2 % of sodium alginate and the metabolites of bifidobacteria cultured on the semisolid ...

Bifidobacteria Encapsulation and Viability of Probiotic Culture during Oral Delivery in a Milk Drink Matrix

International Journal of Food Science, 2023
The use of an alginate hydrogel exclusively for the immobilization of bifidobacteria during oral delivery led to a decrease in the total number of bifidobacteria to 4.0 lg CFU/ml in pH gradients in models of the stomach and intestines, which required ...

Bifidobacteria: from ecology to genomics

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2009
Bifidobacteria are high G+C Gram positive bacteria belonging to the phylum Actinobacteria. In recent years bifidobacteria have attracted a lot of attention because of their perceived positive contribution to the functionality of the human gastro intestinal tract.

Insect‐Derived Bioactives for Glycemic Control and Gut Health: A Review

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Insect‐derived bioactive compounds (e.g., peptides, polysaccharides) effectively regulate blood glucose through dual mechanisms: directly inhibiting carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes and glucose transporters, and indirectly modulating gut microbiota to enhance intestinal barrier integrity.

Maternal fucosyltransferase 2 status affects the gut bifidobacterial communities of breastfed infants. [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundIndividuals with inactive alleles of the fucosyltransferase 2 gene (FUT2; termed the 'secretor' gene) are common in many populations. Some members of the genus Bifidobacterium, common infant gut commensals, are known to consume 2'-fucosylated ...
