A novel Bifidobacterium strain, MRM 9.3T, was isolated from a faecal sample of a baby common marmoset (Callithrixjacchus). Cells were Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, non-sporulating, non-haemolytic, facultatively anaerobic and fructose 6-phosphate phosphoketolase-positive. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA genes as well as multilocus sequenc...

Four novel Gram-stain-positive, non spore forming and fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase-positive strains were isolated from the faeces of a cotton top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus) and an emperor tamarin (Saguinus imperator). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA revealed that bifidobacterial strains TRE 1T exhibit close phylogenetic relatedness...

In our previous study based on hsp60 PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism and 16S rRNA gene sequencing, we stated that the bifidobacterial strains isolated from the individual faecal samples of five baby common marmosets constituted different phylogenetically isolated groups of the genus Bifidobacterium . In that study, we also proposed tha...

Three Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming, microaerophilic and fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase positive strains were isolated from a faecal sample of an adult subject of the emperor tamarin (Saguinus imperator). Given that the isolates revealed identical BOX PCR profiles, strain TRI 5(T) was selected as a representative and characterized fu...

The present research was aimed to investigate the technological potentialities of seven strains of Bifidobacterium aesculapii, a species recently described, in terms of exopolysaccharide (EPS) production and as starter fermentation in soybean milk. The strain production of EPS was firstly evaluated in model system, using different carbon sources. F...

Forty-five microorganisms were isolated on bifidobacteria selective medium from one faecal sample of an adult subject of the cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus L.). All isolates were Gram-positive, catalase-negative, anaerobic, fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase positive, and asporogenous rod-shaped bacteria. In this study, only eight out of th...

Forty strains of bifidobacteria were isolated from the faeces of two adult subjects of black lemur, Eulemur macaco. Twenty-five were identified as Bifidobacterium lemurum, the novel species recently described in Lemur catta. All other isolates resulted Gram-positive-staining, non-spore-forming, fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase positive, microae...

In a previous study on bifidobacterial distribution in New World Monkeys, six Bifidobacteriaceae strains were isolated from faecal samples of baby common marmosets (Callitrix jacchus L.). All the isolates were gram-positive-staining, anaerobic, asporogenous and fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase positive. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene seq...

Ninety-two bifidobacterial strains were obtained from the faeces of 5 baby common marmosets, three known species - B. aesculapii, B. callithricos and B. reuteri - and 4 novel putative bifidobacterial species were retrieved. The occurrence of bifidobacteria in non-human primate babies is described for the first time. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. A...

Gram-positive-staining, microaerophilic, non-spore-forming, fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase positive bacterial strains were isolated from the faecal sample of a five-year old subject of ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta). The strains showed a peculiar morphology, resembling a small coiled snake, a ring shape, or forming a little "Y" shape. The is...

Gram-positive-staining, microaerophilic, non-spore-forming, fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase positive bacterial strains with a peculiar morphology were isolated from faecal samples of baby common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus). Cells of these strains showed a morphology never found in bifidobacterial species, which resembled a coiled snake, alwa...

A PCR-RFLP technique has been applied on 13 species of Bifidobacterium in order to update a previous study carried out by Baffoni et al.[1]. This method is based on the restriction endonuclease activity of HaeIII on the PCR-amplified hsp60 partial gene sequence, and allow a rapid and efficient identification of Bifidobacterium spp. strains at speci...
