Characterization of Bifidobacterium asteroides Isolates

Microorganisms, 2022
Bifidobacteria have long been recognized as bacteria with probiotic and therapeutic features. The aim of this work is to characterize the Bifidobacterium asteroides BA15 and BA17 strains, isolated from honeybee gut, to evaluate its safety for human use.

Comparative genomics of the Bifidobacterium brevetaxon [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2014
Bifidobacteria are commonly found as part of the microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of a broad range of hosts, where their presence is positively correlated with the host's health status. In this study, we assessed the genomes of thirteen representatives of Bifidobacterium breve, which is not only a frequently encountered component of the ...

Host-Diet Effect on the Metabolism of Bifidobacterium [PDF]

Genes, 2021
Bifidobacterium has a diverse host range and shows several beneficial properties to the hosts. Many species should have co-evolved with their hosts, but the phylogeny of Bifidobacterium is dissimilar to that of host animals. The discrepancy could be linked to the niche-specific evolution due to hosts’ dietary carbohydrates.

Comparative genomics of the genus Bifidobacterium [PDF]

Microbiology, 2010
Whole-genome sequencing efforts have revolutionized the study of bifidobacterial genetics and physiology. Unfortunately, the sequence of a single genome does not provide information on bifidobacterial genetic diversity and on how genetic variability supports improved adaptation of these bacteria to the environment of the human gastrointestinal tract ...

Proteomics of stress response in Bifidobacterium [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2008
Bifidobacteria are commensal microorganisms of the human gastrointestinal tract which are largely being used in functional foods. Some strains are considered as probiotics since they beneficially affect the composition and the metabolic activity of intestinal microbiota, as well as the health status of the host.

Characterization of the phylogenetic diversity of five novel species belonging to the genus Bifidobacterium: Bifidobacterium castoris sp. nov., Bifidobacterium callimiconis sp. nov., Bifidobacterium goeldii sp. nov., Bifidobacterium samirii sp. nov. and Bifidobacterium dolichotidis sp. nov.

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2019
Five Bifidobacterium strains, i.e. 2020BT, 2028BT, 2033BT, 2034BT and 2036BT, were isolated from European beaver (Castor fiber), Goeldi's marmoset (Callimicogoeldii), black-capped squirrel monkey (Saimiriboliviensissubsp. peruviensis) and Patagonian mara (Dolichotispatagonum). All of these isolates were shown to be Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic,

Phylogenetic characterization of two novel species of the genus Bifidobacterium: Bifidobacterium saimiriisciurei sp. nov. and Bifidobacterium platyrrhinorum sp. nov.

Systematic and Applied Microbiology, 2020
Three bifidobacterial Gram-stain-positive, non-spore forming and fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase-positive strains, SMA1T, SMB2 and SMA15T were isolated from the faeces of two adult males of the squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus). On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, the type strain of Bifidobacterium primatium DSM 100687T (99.3 ...

Bioconversion of daidzein to equol by Bifidobacterium breve 15700 and Bifidobacterium longum BB536

Journal of Functional Foods, 2012
Bifidobacteria species were incubated anaerobically with daidzein in Brain Heart Infusion broth at 37 °C for 96 h. Equol production started during the first 6 h incubation with Bifidobacterium breve ATCC 15700 (B. breve) and Bifidobacterium longum BB536 (B. longum).

Bile resistance mechanisms in Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013
Probiotics are live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host. Most of the probiotic bacteria currently available in the market belong to the genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, and specific health-promoting activities, such as treatment of diarrhea or amelioration of gastrointestinal ...

Recurrent Urinary Infection with Bifidobacterium scardovii [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2012
ABSTRACTBifidobacteriumspecies are difficult to identify and may be underreported or not recovered by many laboratories because of their slow growth. We emphasize the importance of the Gram stain in urine samples and the addition of enriched media and enhanced atmosphere over time for urine cultures with pyuria.
