Bifidobacterium is a genus of gram-positive, nonmotile, often branched anaerobic bacteria. They are ubiquitous inhabitants of the gastrointestinal tract [ 2 ] [ 3 ] though strains have been isolated from the vagina [ 4 ] and mouth ( B. dentium ) of mammals, including humans.
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 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
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 ...
Bifidobacterium animalis is a gram-positive, anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium of the Bifidobacterium genus which can be found in the large intestines of most mammals, including humans. Bifidobacterium animalis and Bifidobacterium lactis were previously described as two distinct species.
PARGC1A gene key to weight loss. At the study’s conclusion, researchers found that participants in the exercise group who had the most “skinny genes” lost up to 5 kg (about 11 lbs) during ...
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.
