Abstract

The study demonstrated Bifidobacterium infantis to ferment purified human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) as a sole carbon source, while another gut commensal, Lactobacillus gasseri, did not ferment HMO. The results support the hypothesis that HMO selectively amplify bacterial populations in the infant intestine.

Abstract

Plasmalogens are ether-linked lipids that may influence oxidative stress resistance of eukaryotic cell membranes. Since bacterial membrane composition can influence environmental stress resistance, we explored the prevalence of plasmalogens in the cytoplasmic membrane of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis. Results showed plasmalogens are a major component of the B. animalis subsp. lactis membrane. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
