Isolation and Identification of Superior Bifidobacterium strains from Korean Feces
Abstract
For isolating and identifying Bifidobacterium spp. originating from Korea, feces were sampled from healthy Korean infants nursery school and postpartum care center. Through the use of gram staining and microscopic examination for cell morphology, 87 bacterial strains presumed to be the Bifidobacterium strains were isolated from 59 Koreans. To identify the Bifidobacterium strains at the genus level, these bacteria were then analyzed using the TLC method. As a result, 29 of the isolated strains were confirmed as members of the genus Bifidobacterium. 29 Bifidobacterium strains were tested acid, bile salts and oxygen tolerance and investigated antioxidative effect specially. And determined the superiority of 5 strains out of 29 Bifidobacterium strains. Finally, the selected bifidobacterium was identified with using designed 16S-ITS rDNA primer.
