Producing Functional Soy-Based Yogurt Incubated with Bifidobacterium Longum SPM1205 Isolated from Healthy Adult Koreans

Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Bifidobacterium Isolates from Healthy Adult Koreans

A total of twenty-two strict anaerobic and Gram-positive Bifidobacteria, identified as B. adolescentis, B.pseudocatenulatum, or B. longum, were isolated from healthy adult Koreans. We here investigated the cellmorphology, antimicrobial resistance patterns to novel antibiotics and genotypic differentiation ofBifidobacteria assessing repetitive DNA element PCR (rep-PCR) fingerpr...

Whole-Genome Sequence of Bifidobacterium longum Strain Indica, Isolated from the Gut of a Healthy Indian Adult

Bifidobacterium longum, a Gram-positive rod-shaped anaerobic bacterium, inhabits the human gastrointestinal tract and contributes significantly to oligosaccharide production, amino acid metabolism, and protection against intestinal inflammation. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of B. longum, which was isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of a healthy Indian adult.

Production of a Functional Frozen Yogurt Fortified with Bifidobacterium spp.

Frozen dairy products have characteristics of both yogurt and ice cream and could be the persuasive carriers of probiotics. Functions of the frozen yogurt containing viable bifidobacterial cells are recognized and favored by the people of all ages. We developed a kind of yogurt supplemented by Bifidobacterium species. Firstly, five strains of Bifidobacterium spp. (Bifidobacterium bifidum ATCC 1...

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...
