The minimal nutritional requirements of Lactobacillus bifidus.

The nutritional requirements of Lactobacillus bifidus and Lactobacillus leichmannii.

The nutrition of variants of Lactobacillus bifidus.

The bacterial flora of the intestine of an infant that is being fed human milk is characterized by the predominance of a lactobacillus whose distinctive morphology of rods, clubs, and bifid forms has given it the name of Lactobacitlus biJidus (l-3). The possible importance of this intestinal organism to the health of the infant makes its study one of practical significance. Since its discovery ...

Comparative Studies in the Manufacturing of Acidophilus, Bifidus and Acido-bifidus Milks

ABSTRACT: The “Encyclopedia of Fermented Fresh Milk” has classified Acidophilus and Bifidus milks as Non-traditional fermented milk products. These products contain Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium spp., respectively, that are known as probiotic microoganisms. In this study, some aspects of acidity development, pH measurement and bacterial counts were monitored when these micro-org...

Occurrence of mucoid variants of Lactobacillus bifidus; demonstration of extracellular and intracellular polysaccharide.

A mucoid variant of Lactobacillus bifidus was first described byIMalyoth and Bauer (1950, 1951). Colonies of this variant incubated anaerobically on solid media were said to be hygroscopic and to become watery on exposure to atmospheric conditions at room temperature. In the first paper, attempts to demonstrate capsules by staining and by suspension in India ink were reported as unsuccessful. I...
