Identification of plasmalogens in Bifidobacterium longum, but not in Bifidobacterium animalis [PDF]
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
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]
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]
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;

Bifidobacterium cuniculi, Bifidobacterium choerinum, Bifidobacterium boum, and Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum: Four New Species and Their Deoxyribonucleic Acid Homology Relationships [PDF]
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 ...

Bifidobacterium breve reduces apoptotic epithelial cell shedding in an exopolysaccharide and MyD88-dependent manner [PDF]
Certain members of the microbiota genus Bifidobacterium are known to positively influence host well-being. Importantly, reduced bifidobacterial levels are associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, who also have impaired epithelial ...

Phenotypic and Genomic Analyses of Human Strains Belonging or Related to Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium infantis, and Bifidobacterium breve [PDF]
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 ...
