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.
Project description:Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. animalis CNCM I-4602 was tested for its ability to grow in reconstituted skimmed milk (RSM). Strain CNCM I-4602 grows and survives poorly in reconstituted skimmed milk (RSM), although this was partially countered by the addition of certain compounds, including yeast extract, uric acid, glutathione, cysteine, ferrous sulfate and a combination of magnesium sulfate and manganese sulfate. Microarray analysis of the strain grown in RSM revealed a number of up-regulated amino acid biosynthetic pathways, as well as stress-related genes. Expression profiling by array
Project description:Modulation of gut microbiota through probiotic supplementation is an interesting strategy to prevent obesity We use microarrays to study the global genome expression of C. elegans fed with the probiotic strain Bifidobacterium animalis sbsp. lactis CECT 8145
