Abstract
Survival and stability of 19 bifidobacterial strains included 13 isolates from Korean infants against acid, bile acid and oxygen exposure were examined. Acid resistance of selected strains at pH values of 4.0, 3.0 and 2.0 was tested. Among the bifidobacterial strains tested, B. bifidum B3, B. longum D6, and B. adolescentis F1 exhibited higher viable cell counts exposed to acid whereas other strains had various results. The abilities of the strains to grow in the MRS broth containing 0.2% thioglycolic acid and 0.2% oxgall were tested and the tolerance of B. bifidum B3 and B. longum D6 to bile acid were higher than that of others. Even though in same species, the tolerance of tested strains to bile acid were variable. Stabilities of tested strains to oxygen exposure were variable and B. bifidum and B. longum strains showed relatively higher viable cell counts after 48 hours exposure to aerobic incubation. These results demonstrated that the survival and stability of bifidobacterial strains to acid, bile acid, and oxygen exposure were variable and strain-dependent. Due to their tolerant ability to environmental factors like acid, bile acid, and oxygen, B. bifidum B3 and B. longum D6 had good potential properties as probiotic cultures and may be useful for industrial application.
