Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis strain V9 is a Chinese commercial bifidobacteria with several probiotic functions. It was isolated from a healthy Mongolian child in China. We present here the complete genome sequence of V9 and compare it to 3 other published genome sequences of B. animalis subsp. lactis strains. The result indicates the lack of polymorphism among strains of this subspeci...

This study evaluated the effects of prebiotics on fermentation profile and growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and Bifidobacterium lactis in co-cultures with Streptococcus thermophilus. Acidification rate and viability were positively influenced by the co-culture with B. lactis and by both inulin or oligofructose in low fat milk.

The object of this study was to determine whether oat, buckwheat and whole brown rice flours have a prebiotic effect on Lactobacillus casei, acidophilus (LA5), Bifidobacterium animalis subsp lactis (Bifidobacterium BB-12). In the study, skimmed milk inoculated with above-mentioned bacteria fortified flours. According results, oat stimulated all investigated, whereas flour had no for L. casei.

Lactobacillus probiotics have been investigated in periodontitis. However, the effects of the genus Bifidobacterium on periodontitis are hardly known. This study evaluated the effects of the probiotic (PROB) Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (B. lactis) HN019 as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in rats with experimental periodontitis (EP). At baseline, 32 rats were assigned to ...

Objective. To investigate the effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM / Bifidobacterium lactis BL-04 / fructooligosaccharide and Lactobacillus plantarum LP01/ Lactobacillus paracasei LPC00 / fructo-oligosaccharide preparations in the routine clinical management of seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) and perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR), respectively. Materials and Methods. Seventy-six and fifty...

in this study, effects of guar and arabic gum on the viability of two common probiotic, lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium lactis, in frozen yogurt during 60 days were investigated. results of survival evaluation of probiotics showed that although during storage time bacteria counts decreased significantly, this product could maintain 107 cfu/gr of probiotic at the end of storage. ma...

The aim of the study was to neutralize zearalenone by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) such as Lactococcus lactis and Bifidobacterium sp. and investigate the mechanism of zearalenone (ZEA) binding. Neutralization of ZEA by LAB was confirmed by identification of binding kinetics and spectroscopic studies such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ioniz...

Cultured buttermilk is becoming popular as an ingredient for bakery applications and for direct consumption in the U.S.. The objective of this study was to develop a symbiotic cultured buttermilk, containing inulin as a prebiotic and the probiotics Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium spp. The cultured buttermilk was prepared using a commercial mesophilic starter CHN22 (Lactococcus lac...
