Identification of plasmalogens in Bifidobacterium longum, but not in Bifidobacterium animalis [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractPlasmalogens are glycerophospholipids that contain a vinyl ether bond at the sn-1 position of glycerol backbone instead of an ester bond. Plasmalogens are indicated to have many important functions in mammalian cells. On the other hand, it is suggested that some gut microbiota plays many probiotic functions to human health.

Portrait of an immunoregulatory bifidobacterium [PDF]
Gut Microbes, 2012 There is increasing interest in the administration of microbes or microbial metabolites for the prevention and treatment of aberrant inflammatory activity. The protective effects associated with these microbes are mediated by multiple mechanisms involving epithelial cells, DCs and T cells, but most data are derived from animal models. In this addendum,

Bifidobacterium cuniculi, Bifidobacterium choerinum, Bifidobacterium boum, and Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum: Four New Species and Their Deoxyribonucleic Acid Homology Relationships [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1979 Among the several thousand bifidobacteria of our collection, 244 strains from the feces of rabbits and suckling pigs, the rumen of cattle, the feces of breast- and bottle-fed infants, the feces of calves, and from sewage are recognized by means of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-DNA hybridization (competition filter method) as belonging to four new ...

Plasmids in the Genus Bifidobacterium [PDF]
Microbiology, 1982 A total of 1461 bacterial isolates, representing 24 different species of the genus Bifidobacterium, were examined for the presence of plasmid DNA. Approximately 20% of the isolates contained detectable plasmids, but only four species were presented: B. longum, the predominant bifid species in the human intestine; B. globosum, the most common in animals;

Safety Evaluations of Bifidobacterium bifidum BGN4 and Bifidobacterium longum BORI [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018 Over the past decade, a variety of lactic acid bacteria have been commercially available to and steadily used by consumers. However, recent studies have shown that some lactic acid bacteria produce toxic substances and display properties of virulence. To establish safety guidelines for lactic acid bacteria, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the ...

Phenotypic and Genomic Analyses of Human Strains Belonging or Related to Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium infantis, and Bifidobacterium breve [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1993 A numerical analysis based on phenotypic characteristics (89 enzymatic tests and 49 carbohydrate acidification tests), in which experimental strips from Biomerieux-API, La Balme les Grottes, France, were used, was performed to characterize 82 new isolates belonging or related to Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium infantis, and Bifidobacterium ...

Polyphasic taxonomic analysis of Bifidobacterium animalis and Bifidobacterium lactis reveals relatedness at the subspecies level: reclassification of Bifidobacterium animalis as Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. animalis subsp. nov. and Bifidobacterium lactis as Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis subsp. nov. [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2004 The taxonomic standing of Bifidobacterium lactis and Bifidobacterium animalis was investigated using a polyphasic approach. Sixteen representatives of both taxa were found to be phenotypically similar and shared more than 70% DNA-DNA relatedness (76-100%), which reinforces the conclusions of previous studies in which B. lactis and B.

Bifidobacterium catenulatum, Bifidobacterium dentium, and Bifidobacterium angulatum: Three New Species and Their Deoxyribonucleic Acid Homology Relationships [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1974 Previous studies by us and our colleagues suggested three distinctive deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) homology groups among the bifidobacteria; these were provisionally named “catenulatum,” “dentium,” and “angulatum.” One hundred eighty-four strains isolated from sewage, in addition to many of the strains from the previous study, were investigated and ...
