Project description:Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis is a bacterial commensal that colonizes the breast-fed infant gut where it utilizes indigestible components delivered in human milk. Accordingly, human milk contains several non-protein nitrogenous molecules, including urea at high abundance. This project investigates the degree to which urea is utilized as a primary nitrogen source by Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis and incorporation of hydrolysis products into the expressed proteome.
Project description:The purpose of this project was to determine the whole transcriptome response of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis to human milk urea compared to complex nitrogen and L-cysteine.
Project description:The purpose of this project was to determine the whole transcriptome response of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. Infantis to pooled and individual human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) relative to lactose
Project description:Comparison of the growth of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB12 in MRS (without carbon source) with either 2% XOS (xylo-oligosaccharides) or 2% glucose using whole-genome transcriptome analysis.
