The sensitivity of members of the genus Bifidobacterium to O 2 generally limits probiotic activity to anaerobic habitats. Recent research has reported that some Bifidobacterium strains exhibit various types of oxic growth. Low concentrations of O 2 and CO 2 can have a stimulatory effect on the growth of these Bifidobacterium strains.
Bifidobacterium bifidum is a bacterial species of the genus Bifidobacterium. B. bifidum is one of the most common probiotic bacteria that can be found in the body of mammals , including humans. Structure and characteristics
Most strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are sensitive to room temperature, which raises concerns for storage conditions and maintenance of cell viability. In addition, most Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species are sensitive to acidic exposure and have difficulty surviving environments with low pH, such as stomach acid.
Improving sensitivity to insulin and regulation of blood sugar levels, which can aid in weight management by reducing hunger ... Bifidobacterium lactis: may help aid in digestion and metabolic ...
Bifidobacterium adolescentis is an anaerobic species of bacteria found in the gastrointestinal tracts of humans and other primates. [1] It is one of the most abundant and prevalent Bifidobacterium species detected in human populations, especially in adults.
Bifidobacterium longum is a Gram-positive, catalase-negative, rod-shaped bacterium present in the human gastrointestinal tract and one of the 32 species that belong to the genus Bifidobacterium. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is a microaerotolerant anaerobe and considered to be one of the earliest colonizers of the gastrointestinal tract of infants. [ 2 ]
Bifidobacterium breve is a bacterial species of the genus Bifidobacterium which has probiotic properties. [1] [2] Bifidobacteria are a type of bacteria that live symbiotically in the intestines of humans. They have been used to treat a number of conditions including constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome and even the cold and flu.
The Bifidobacteriaceae are the only family of bacteria in the order Bifidobacteriales. [3] According to the 16S rRNA-based LTP release 106 published by 'The All-Species Living Tree' Project, the order Bifidobacteriales is a clade nested within the suborder Micrococcineae, also the genus Bifidobacterium is paraphyletic to the other genera within the family, i.e. the other genera are nested ...
