Adhesion properties of a putative polymorphic fimbrial subunit protein from Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum

In our previous study, we found that the open reading frame bl0675 in the genome of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum isolated from human feces encoded a novel putative fimbrial protein, was highly polymorphic, and had five variants (A, B, C, D, and E types). The aim of this study was to evaluate the affinity of these variants to porcine colonic mucins (PCMs). Protein-binding properties were...

Differentiation of Bifidobacterium longum subspecies longum and infantis by quantitative PCR using functional gene targets

BACKGROUND Members of the genus Bifidobacterium are abundant in the feces of babies during the exclusively-milk-diet period of life. Bifidobacterium longum is reported to be a common member of the infant fecal microbiota. However, B. longum is composed of three subspecies, two of which are represented in the bowel microbiota (B. longum subsp. longum; B. longum subsp. infantis). B. longum subspe...

Genome Analysis and Characterisation of the Exopolysaccharide Produced by Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum 35624™

The Bifibobacterium longum subsp. longum 35624™ strain (formerly named Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis) is a well described probiotic with clinical efficacy in Irritable Bowel Syndrome clinical trials and induces immunoregulatory effects in mice and in humans. This paper presents (a) the genome sequence of the organism allowing the assignment to its correct subspeciation longum; (b) a co...

Draft Genome Sequence of the Probiotic Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum Strain MC-42

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum strain MC-42 isolated from the feces of a healthy infant, and which was used in the commercially available probiotic product Biovestin.
