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.

Bifidobacterium Transformation
, 2021 The protocol presented in this chapter describes a generic method for electrotransformation of Bifidobacterium spp., outlining a technique that is ideal for conferring selective properties onto strains as well as allowing the user to introduce or knock out/in selected genes for phenotypic characterization purposes.

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,

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 ...
