摘要
We investigated the effects of 0(2) on Bifidobacterium species using liquid shaking cultures under various 0(2) concentrations. Although most of the Bifidobacterium species we selected showed 0(2) sensitivity, two species, R boum and B. thermophilum, demonstrated microaerophilic profiles. The growth of B. bifidum and B. longum was inhibited under high-O-2 conditions accompanied by the accumulation of H2O2 in the medium, and growth was restored by adding catalase to the medium. B. boum and B. thermophilum grew well even under 20% O-2 conditions without H2O2 accumulation, and growth was stimulated compared to anoxic growth. H2O-forming NADH oxidase activities were detected dominantly in cell extracts of B. boum and R thermophilum under acidic reaction conditions (pH 5.0 to 6.0).
