Bifidobacterium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (153 words) |
 | Bifidobacterium is a genus of anaerobic bacteria and a form of probiotic that is thought to have health-promoting properties for humans. |
| Bifidobacteria are one of the major strains of bacteria that make up the gut flora, the bacteria that reside in the colon and have health benefits for their hosts. |
| Bifidobacteria are associated with a lower incidence of allergies (Björkstén et al., 2004) and also prevent some forms of tumor growth (Guarner and Malagelada, 2003). |

| Bifidobacteria are especially predominant in infants where they can comprise 40 to 90% of the microbiota in human milk-fed babies. |
| To obtain a molecular understanding of the activity of commensal bifidobacteria and their influence on gut health we study the succession of proteinexpression of bacteria in intact faeces. |
| This study of the metaproteome of the faecal microbiota is expected to lead to a molecular understanding of the activity of commensal bifidobacteria and their influence on gut health. |
