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

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

Maternal fucosyltransferase 2 status affects the gut bifidobacterial communities of breastfed infants. [PDF]
BackgroundIndividuals with inactive alleles of the fucosyltransferase 2 gene (FUT2; termed the 'secretor' gene) are common in many populations. Some members of the genus Bifidobacterium, common infant gut commensals, are known to consume 2'-fucosylated ...

Oxidative Stress Response of Probiotic Strain Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum GT15
Bifidobacterium is a predominant and important genus in the bacterial population of the human gut microbiota. Despite the increasing number of studies on the beneficial functionality of bifidobacteria for human health, knowledge about their antioxidant potential is still insufficient.

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