Bifidobacterium ⇒ Bifidobacterium adolescentis {10000305}

Shared Reference Notes

• [1.1] [#Obesity] 
  - Low levels of Bifidobacterium adolescentis > associated with greater weight loss > generally decrease in RA following the “good” diet and increase following the “bad” diet
• [1.2] [#Parkinson’s Disease] 
  - PD patients, showing an increase in #Akkermansia, Bifidobacterium, and #Lactobacillus and a decrease in #Prevotella
• [1.3] [#Depression] [#Lactobacillaceae, #Limosilactobacillus (Lactobacillus) reuteri] [#Probiotic (Bifidobacter and Lactobacilus)] 
  - Lactobacillus reuteri and Bifidobacterium adolescentis Probitica > reduction in depressive symptoms at four and eight weeks of treatment, and #Anxiety symptoms at four weeks. > improvement in #Sleep quality. - Lactobacillus reuteri and Bifidobacterium adolescentis Probitica > decrease in serum interleukin-6 levels. - Lactobacillus reuteri and Bifidobacterium adolescentis Probitica > increased #Bifidobacteriaceae and Lactobacillacea, whereas it decreased #Enterobacteriaceae in the gut microbiota composition.
• [1.4] [#Consuming resistant potato starch, #Culinary herbs and spices] 
  - #Eubacterium hallii, a lactate utiliser and #Butyrate producing strain of bacteria grows poorly on potato starch in monoculture, but when combined with Bifidobacterium adolescentis in coculture, it can utilise lactate produced by B. adolescentis for #Butyrate production.
• [1.5] [#Bifidobacteria, #Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum] [#Fructooligosaccharides, #Human milk oligosaccharides, #Inulin] 
  - 2′FL/LNnT were bifidogenic for both age groups, 3′SL/6′SL and FOS/IN were exclusively bifidogenic for children and adults, respectively. - 3′SL/6′SL stimulated B. pseudocatenulatum (abundant in children), FOS/IN enhanced B. adolescentis (abundant in adults). - increased #Acetate, #Propionate and #Butyrate (only in adults) with product- and age-dependent differences.
• [1.6] [#Bacteroides vulgatus] [#carrot-derived rhamnogalacturonan I] [#Carrot] 
  - cRG-I supplementation (already at an HED of 0.3 g/d) lowered interpersonal compositional differences due to the selective stimulation of taxa that were consistently present among human adults, including OTUs related to #Bacteroides dorei/vulgatus and #Bifidobacterium longum (suspected keystone species), #Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bifidobacterium adolescentis and #Butyrate-producing taxa such as #Blautia sp., #Anaerobutyricum hallii, and #Faecalibacterium prausnitzii.
• [1.7] [#Beta-glucan] 
  - #Oat bran increased the proliferation of Bifidobacterium adolescentis after in vitro fermentation, but β-glucan alone did not
• [1.8] [#Bifidobacterium bifidum, #Bifidobacterium breve, #Bifidobacterium infantis, #Bifidobacterium longum] 
  - #Bifidobacterium species are categorized on the basis of their #Folate-producing ability: high #Folate producers—#Bifidobacterium bifidum and B. longum subsp. Infantis, and low #Folate producers—B. breve, B. longum subsp. longum, and B. adolescentis.
• [1.9] [#Resistant starch] 
  - RS could also be degraded by #Ruminococcus bromii, and Bifidobacterium adolescentis, and also to a lesser extent by #Eubacterium rectale and #Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. - in the mixed bacterial and fecal incubations, RS degradation is impossible in the absence of R. bromii
• [#Lactobacillus acidophilus, #Lactobacillus jensenii, #Streptococcus gordonii, #Streptococcus mitis, #Streptococcus sanguinis] - Some species in the oral cavity involved in this process produce #Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Known peroxigenic oral bacteria include: #Streptococcus oralis, S. mitis, S. sanguinis, S. gordonii, S. oligofermentans , #Lactobacillus fermentum, L. jensenii, L. acidophilus, L. minutus, and Bifidobacterium adolescentis
• [1.11] 
  - the change in diet from an #Isoflavone diet to a #Phytoestrogen-free diet significantly reduced the abundance of Bifidobacterium species, specifically Bifidobacterium adolescentis and #Bifidobacterium longum
• - most #Bifidobacterium spp. metabolize plant carbohydrates as a main food source, but some, including B. adolescentis, can also utilize mucin as a food source
