| biodistribution of a promising probiotic, bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum strain bbmn68, in the rat gut. | bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum bbmn68, isolated from centenarians in guangxi, china, has been proved to be a promising probiotic strain for its health benefits. in this study, the biodistribution of this strain in the rat gut was first investigated using the quantitative realtime pcr assay and propidium monoazide. strain-specific primers were originally designed based on the bbmn68 genome sequence. healthy rats were orally inoculated with either a single dose of bbmn68 (10(10) colony-formi ... | 2015 | 25639716 |
| complete genome sequence of bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum bbmn68, a new strain from a healthy chinese centenarian. | bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum bbmn68 was isolated from the feces of a healthy centenarian living in an area of bama, guangxi, china, known for longevity. here we report the main genome features of b. longum strain bbmn68 and the identification of several predicted proteins associated with the ecological niche of longevity. | 2010 | 21097614 |
