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...

The species Bifidobacterium longum is currently divided into three subspecies, B. longum subsp. longum, B. longum subsp. infantis and B. longum subsp. suis. This classification was based on an assessment of accumulated information on the species' phenotypic and genotypic features. The three subspecies of B. longum were investigated using genotypic...

... In terms of bacterial taxa abundance in our metagenomic pool data set, we hypothesized that GLT and Callithrix gut microbiomes are enriched for Bifidobacterium, a bacterial genus important for host carbohydrate metabolism 21,71,72 . Our hypothesis is based on evidence that Neotropical primates gut microbiomes are significantly enriched for this bacterial genus relative to Old World primates 73 . ...
