Bifidobacterium breve as Next Generation Probiotics

Bifidobacterium breve (B. breve) is one of the most useful probiotics in the human body. Some of the main functions of B. breve in the digestive tract are to ferment sugar, produce lactic acid and acetic acid, but it also has many other important digestive and regulatory functions.

Introduction of B. breve

B. breve is a kind of Bifidobacterium with probiotic characteristics, which is famous for its probiotic benefits to infants and young children. It is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, rod-shaped organism with no motility. It forms branches with surrounding organisms and is particularly important in the function of the colon. Its branches are rod-shaped and look almost like cactus under the microscope. B. breve has a unique ability to compete with other bacteria because it can digest a wide range of molecules, and has the superior ability to decompose a variety of food types, even plant fiber, which is usually considered to be difficult to digest.
