Identification of Bifidobacterium Strains Isolated from Fecal Samples of Some Iranian Subjects Using 16SrRNA Gene Sequence Analysis and PCR-based Gene Specific Primers [PDF]

Journal of Kerman University of Medical Sciences, 2005
For the first time in Iran 40 strains of Bifidobacterium were isolated from feces of Iranian subjects. By using phenotypic tests, 18 isolates were identified as Bifidobacterium longum, 10 as Bifidobacterium bifidum and one as Bifidobacterium catenolatum.

Evolution of substrate specificity in a retained enzyme driven by gene loss. [PDF]

, 2017
The connection between gene loss and the functional adaptation of retained proteins is still poorly understood. We apply phylogenomics and metabolic modeling to detect bacterial species that are evolving by gene loss, with the finding that ...

Molecular analysis of the replication functions of the bifidobacterial conjugative megaplasmid pMP7017

Microbial Biotechnology, 2021
Summary pMP7017 is a conjugative megaplasmid isolated from the gut commensal Bifidobacterium breve JCM7017 and was shown to encode two putative replicases, designated here as RepA and RepB.

Comparative transcriptomics reveals key differences in the response to milk oligosaccharides of infant gut-associated bifidobacteria. [PDF]

, 2015
Breast milk enhances the predominance of Bifidobacterium species in the infant gut, probably due to its large concentration of human milk oligosaccharides (HMO). Here we screened infant-gut isolates of Bifidobacterium longum subsp.

Comparative Genomic Analysis of Bifidobacterium Based on Glycoside Hydrolase Family Genes and Its Application in the Isolation of B. bifidum [PDF]

Shipin Kexue
This study aimed to comparatively analyze the common and unique glycoside hydrolase (GH) family genes in Bifidobacterium. On this basis, a rapid method for isolating target Bifidobacterium strains from infant fecal samples was developed.
